Chapter 835 Nightmare

As soon as the door was opened, the crying inside became more obvious.

Huo Xingzhou walked to the bedside in two steps with his long legs. He found that Qiao Xi had not woken up. She didn't know what she had dreamed about, but her face was covered with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

He didn't wake her.

Instead, he squeezed a towel and wiped the tears from her face.

It is said that people who have nightmares cannot be woken up at will. Although he does not believe those rumors, he does not want to take any risks with Qiao Xi.

She burst into tears.

Huo Xingzhou held her hand and found that her palms were sweaty.

Qiao Xi woke up crying, her eyes were blurry but she could vaguely see a figure. She sniffed and the tears in the corners of her eyes could not help but fall down.

Huo Xingzhou wiped away her tears.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's not a nightmare." Her voice was slightly nasal and sounded aggrieved. "It was about things that had already happened. I dreamed that Yi died and he appeared alive in front of me. But I dreamed that my grandmother died and she never came back."

Qiao Xi lay on the bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling.

Once the Lu family's problems were solved, she felt relieved. Then she felt exhausted and her mind was full of thoughts.

The commotion made her uneasy.

She lay down and took a nap, but her physical fatigue did not ease at all, instead it made her feel even worse.

Now I feel my whole body is very heavy.

Even stretching my fingers felt exhausting, and speaking was even more powerless.

When people hold on to something for too long, once it disappears, it's as if they have lost their backbone.

Huo Xingzhou pinned the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead and said, "Grandma will be happy only if you live well. She must be watching you from heaven. Seeing the Lu family fall today, she should rest in peace."

"But those who leave will never come back."

There was still moisture on Qiao Xi's eyelashes.

Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger and tapped her nose. "Today I realized how greedy you are. There is gain and loss. Although grandma left you, you now have many more people around you. No one in this world can stay with you forever."

"Can't you, too?"

"Birth, aging, sickness and death. Even if I have great power, I cannot change that."

Qiao Xi felt that she was too greedy to expect such a thing.

She calmed down the panic and throbbing in her heart, "I'm sorry, I don't know what was going on in my head."

Huo Xingzhou rubbed her face and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Everything has been resolved. You can think about what you will do after we return to Haicheng. Your relatives and friends are there, and it is more worthy of your nostalgia than the imperial capital."

He was trying to divert her attention.

When Qiao Xi heard Haicheng, she began to feel more longing.

Huo Xingzhou asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

She shook her head.

Morning sickness made her throat very uncomfortable, and she always felt like something was stuck in her throat. She had no appetite at all, and even thought of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which she used to like, and she felt sick and wanted to vomit.

Today's reaction was particularly dramatic.

"I'll have the kitchen prepare some food and serve it when you want it. Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

Qiao Xi shook her head again, "I want to lie down for a while."

"good."

Huo Xingzhou wiped her cheeks and neck to make her feel more comfortable.

This time he did not leave, but sat in the room with documents and laptop.

When Qiao Xi looked at him, she felt much more at ease.

Just drowsy.

I suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night.

She was a pregnant woman and could not take medicine at will, but Cheng Han had drunk a lot of wine during the day and had fallen asleep. Even if he woke her up, his hands were shaking from the cold wine and he couldn't give her an injection.

No one knew who leaked the news, but even Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai came.

Sun Wei shouted loudly, "Looking for Mr. Huang!"

Old Chen felt that it was not appropriate: "The old lady of the Zhong family is seriously ill and needs Mr. Huang to take care of her. I am afraid he is busy, otherwise I will go find Doctor Shen. Or I can spend money to find a private doctor to come to my house."

Huo Xingzhou made the decision: "Let's ask Shen Xuanzhi to come."

"Okay, I'll drive over right away."

Old Chen did not dare to delay, after all, the young lady's situation was special.

Huo Sijiao took a towel and wiped Qiao Xi's body. Seeing her little face flushed red, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why does my sister-in-law have a high fever? Did she catch a cold? Or was she infected by someone? You grown men have no sense of propriety and don't pay attention to your behavior. I think I should move back home for a few days."

She and Xie Xubai got married, and the couple lived alone in a villa.

Although the most intimate thing had happened, it was really out of necessity. Now that they were facing each other every day, Huo Sijiao felt a little overwhelmed.

After all, Xie Xubai looked gentle and elegant, but in fact, he had a lot of bad intentions. She felt a little embarrassed and felt that the transaction between them had changed.

Her sister-in-law happened to be sick, so she went home to take care of her for two days.

My sister-in-law is pregnant now, so I need to take good care of her. There is no other woman in the family except Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan is busy with kitchen matters all day long, so she definitely can't take care of my sister-in-law.

Even with my brother around, not all issues can be discussed between husband and wife.

Huo Sijiao made up her mind, "I'll live here!"

There was no room for discussion with Huo Xingzhou at all.

Huo Xingzhou glanced at Xie Xubai, with helplessness in his eyes.

Xie Xubai said softly, "Since Jiaojiao is willing to stay, then let her stay. I will come to pick her up after some time."

Sun Weimeng sighed and muttered, "How could such a good man become a henpecked man?"

"Sun Weimeng, what are you talking about!" Huo Sijiao asked, "Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart."

She is now very embarrassed about people making jokes about her and Xie Shubai, as the two of them are in an awkward stage in their relationship.

Sun Weimeng was not afraid of her. He stuck out his tongue and made a face: "Come on, come on!"

"you……"

"Don't be silly."

Huo Xingzhou warned, "If you want to make trouble, get out."

Both of them were afraid of Huo Xingzhou, so they could only keep their mouths shut. They just exchanged glances, which were not very friendly.

Xie Xubai looked at the heater in the room and said, "How about we ventilate it? There are so many people in the room that the air doesn't circulate well, and it's not good for the patient's health. But the temperature outside is very low, so just turn it on for a while."

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou also felt a little bored. He had neglected such details because of his worry.

Huo Sijiao was very puzzled: "How come you, a person from the imperial capital, still want to open the windows for ventilation in winter? Isn't this the obsession of us people from Haicheng?"

Even if it is very cold in winter, people in the south always open the windows to let in some fresh air.

Xie Xubai said softly, "From your usual habits at home, I thought you all liked it."

Huo Sijiao had nothing to say, but her lips curled up, her cheeks flushed, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She couldn't help but say, "Why are you talking so much? Hurry down and wait. It's not good for you to stay in my brother and sister-in-law's room."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Sun Weimeng got goosebumps listening to this. What a loving couple!
