Chapter 416: Port City
Port city.
A private hospital.
After returning from the mainland, Huo Boyuan did not go home, but came to the hospital exhausted.
He pushed open the door of the ward and felt relieved when he saw Miao Jingyi lying on the hospital bed.
He walked lightly to the bedside when Miao Jingyi suddenly opened her eyes.
After seeing that it was Huo Boyuan, Miao Jingyi's eyes were instantly filled with light.
"Bai Yuan, why did you come back early?"
She tried to sit up, but she was too weak. Finally, she was able to sit up with the help of Huo Boyuan.
"Didn't you find it..."
Miao Jingyi grabbed Huo Boyuan's hand. Although she looked weak, she was surprisingly strong.
Just as Huo Boyuan was about to answer, the door of the ward was pushed open and a figure rushed in.
"Mom, are you feeling better today?"
A chubby little boy suddenly fell down on the hospital bed.
The man in a neat suit behind him picked him up at the last second before he was about to throw himself onto the hospital bed.
"Huo Bokong, don't touch your mommy."
The little boy named Huo Bokong didn't make a fuss, but instead threw himself into the arms of Huo Boyuan.
"Brother, you're back. Did you bring me anything fun?"
Huo Boyuan rubbed his brother's head heavily and nodded to his father.
"Bai Yuan, did you find your sister this time?"
Father Huo looked at Miao Jingyi who was anxiously standing by and spoke on her behalf, asking again.
Huo Boyuan nodded.
Miao Jingyi's expectant eyes suddenly filled with great joy, and then she began to cough violently.
"Jingyi..."
Father Huo stepped forward and patted Miao Jingyi on the back. He then glared at his eldest son with some annoyance, "Tell me everything that happened to you in China this time."
Although Huo Boyuan usually did not get along with Huo's father, he still maintained peace in front of Miao Jingyi. Hearing Huo's father's words, he nodded and told him about his meeting with Su Nanzhi in the mainland and what he had investigated.
When Miao Jingyi heard that Su Nanzhi was smart and clever, her face was full of smiles, but when she knew that Su Nanzhi had a husband at such a young age, worry appeared on her face.
If Su Nanzhi had grown up by her side, she would not have been willing to let her get married at such a young age. However, thinking that she had left when Su Nanzhi was young, she had no right to point fingers at Su Nanzhi's life.
But she couldn't. As a father, Su Minglang would never bear to let Su Nanzhi get married at such a young age.
The dissatisfaction on her face instantly turned pale when she heard that Su Minglang died a few years after she left.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Jingyi! Go call a doctor."
…
The three members of the Huo family looked anxious, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor repeatedly assured them that Miao Jingyi's condition was stable.
"I'm fine."
Miao Jingyi's face looked grim, and her hands hidden under the quilt were still trembling slightly.
She didn't expect Su Minglang to have passed away...
The beautiful memories of the past that she had hidden in her heart for so many years surged in her mind at this moment, and her eyes unconsciously turned red.
"Mom, Nanzhi is doing well now. Her husband is a soldier and he protects her very much."
Huo Boyuan's comfort seemed to have some effect. Miao Jingyi forced a smile and continued to ask, "What is Nanzhi doing now?"
Compared with men, she wanted Su Nanzhi to have her own career. It is better to have her own career than to pin her hopes and happiness on others.
Huo Boyuan smiled. "Nanzhi doesn't have a job, but she's very capable. She even edited college entrance exam textbooks for a publishing house."
Miao Jingyi was not as optimistic as he was. After all, Huo Boyuan didn't know much about life in the mainland. She knew that the mainland did not support economic freedom and that having no job meant instability. She didn't know how many difficulties a girl would have to face before Huo Boyuan could say that she was capable.
As long as people are alive, it's good.
Miao Jingyi seemed to have lost all her strength and nodded slightly.
There was a complicated look in Mr. Huo's eyes. He glanced at Huo Boyuan and then looked at Miao Jingyi.
"Jingyi, now that we've found Nanzhi, you must take good care of yourself. Wait until the policy opens up and meet Nanzhi. After all, he's gone, and you're the only relative Nanzhi has left."
Huo Boyuan was also frightened by Miao Jingyi's weak appearance. When he heard what his father said, he finally reacted and took out the small medicine bottle that Su Nanzhi handed to him before he left.
"Yes, Mom, you have to take good care of yourself. Nanzhi asked me to give this to you."
"She's still waiting to meet you. Are you willing to disappoint her?"
Miao Jingyi's originally dim eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, Nanzhi only has her as her relative. If she leaves, there will be no one to protect her in this world.
She took the medicine bottle from Huo Boyuan's hand, opened it without hesitation, poured out a pill and put it into her mouth.
"Jingyi, why are you taking random medicines?"
Father Huo was startled by her actions and stepped forward to grab the medicine bottle, but Miao Jingyi held the bottle very tightly and he couldn't get it at all.
Miao Jingyi tightened her grip on the medicine bottle and smiled at Mr. Huo.
"Brother Wen, the doctor said that my illness can only be treated well. There is no medicine that can cure it. So it's okay for me to try Nanzhi's medicine. She won't harm me, and no matter how bad it is, how much worse can it be?"
Father Huo swallowed and looked at her persistent eyes without saying anything.
Huo Boyuan also somewhat disagreed, but he was much more effective in speaking to Miao Jingyi than Huo's father.
"Mom, Nanzhi certainly won't harm you, but I'm afraid the medicine she gives you might conflict with your body."
"Give me her medicine. I'll take it for testing. If it's suitable, I can make some more for you at the hospital down the road."
Miao Jingyi didn't care whether the effects of the medicine conflicted with her body or not. After all, she had lost her life more than ten years ago.
But this bottle of medicine can only last for more than ten days, and she wants to take the pills given to her by Su Nanzhi every day.
She reluctantly poured out a pill from the bottle and handed it to Huo Boyuan.
"One is enough for testing."
Huo Boyuan couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw his stepmother, who usually seemed dignified and generous, was so petty.
But he still took the pill quickly.
Miao Jingyi was already weak, and after such a great deal of sorrow and joy, she quickly became tired.
The three members of the Huo family then left the ward.
The moment they left the ward, Huo Boyuan and his father, who had just looked so loving and filial, suddenly became gloomy.
"Your mother is not in good health. Don't you know to report good news instead of bad news? Why did you tell her that the man died?"
Mr. Huo looked dissatisfied and started scolding in a low voice before he had even taken a few steps out of the ward.
Huo Boyuan looked him up and down with a look of disdain, "Are you happy in your heart? No one is competing with you for your mother anymore?"
Mr. Huo looked a little uncomfortable, but before he could say anything, Huo Boyuan continued without any hesitation.
"Even if Nanzhi's father were still alive, my mother wouldn't like a playboy like you."
After saying that, he ignored Mr. Huo's reaction and walked away.
Looking at him like this, Mr. Huo lowered his head and complained to his youngest son, "Xiao Kong, don't imitate your brother."
Huo Bokong blinked, looking innocent, "But mom also told me not to follow dad's example and marry so many wives."
After saying that, he ran towards Huo Boyuan with his short legs.
At home, he likes his mother the most, then his eldest brother, and as for his father...
Sometimes I am third, sometimes I am last.
