Shortly after Aunt Li left, A-Yue hurried in. Relieved that no one had followed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Hua Fei asked.
“When I went into the garden just now, the butler asked me a few questions and seemed a little suspicious,” A-Yue said, putting down her medical kit. “But he didn’t follow me, so I must have fooled him.”
"How is that person?" Hua Fei asked in a low voice.
On the surface, A-Yue was out treating Gu Fanyan, but secretly, she would also treat Sun Xiaowei's assistant.
That's the one who was in a coma in the hospital for three years.
Huo Beichen forbade it, so A Yue could only go secretly.
“It’s much better than before,” A-Yue shook her head, “but he still can’t wake up. My medical skills are still a bit worse than yours.”
"I reckon you'll have to take charge yourself."
Hua Fei also wanted to treat that person personally.
A-Yue's people investigated and found that the person was Sun Xiaowei's assistant for many years and knew a lot of things.
Perhaps we can get the child's whereabouts out of him.
But with several nannies around her at home, she couldn't go out.
A-Yue hesitated slightly before saying, "Miss Gu said today that you can discuss anything you want to do with Huo Beichen, and he might agree."
Hua Fei was taken aback.
The garden in the twilight was a bit chilly.
Huo Beichen sat on a chair in the garden, his gaze fixed on a small figure running in the distance.
Yesterday, the housekeeper adopted a stray dog, and Zeze is playing with it.
"Sir, the temperature has dropped. Please put on another layer of clothing," the butler's voice sounded behind him.
A thought suddenly struck him: how wonderful it would be if the person who came was her.
But that's okay, they have plenty of time.
"Thank you." He turned to take the clothes, his eyes widened in surprise, and then joy filled his heart and eyes.
The person he was looking forward to was standing behind the butler.
"Why did you come out!" He immediately got up and came to Hua Fei's side, his tone reproachful, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
The housekeeper handed the clothes to Hua Fei and left with a satisfied expression.
Huo Beichen glanced at her hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Are you cold?" Hua Fei asked.
Before he finished speaking, he had already nodded.
Hua Fei handed him the clothes.
He didn't take it immediately.
“What?” Hua Fei frowned. “Are you waiting for someone with a broken left arm to help you get dressed?”
Although the cast on her left arm has been removed, it is still in place with a brace.
Huo Beichen took the clothes and said, "Consider it a debt you owe me."
Hua Fei was both annoyed and amused; she hadn't expected him to take this so seriously.
She didn't argue with him; whether she could repay what he owed was another matter entirely.
"There's something I need to tell you," she said, getting to the point. "Last time at the hospital, the doctor mentioned Sun Xiaowei's assistant, who had been in a coma for three years. I had A-Yue treat him almost completely."
Huo Beichen was surprised. "Didn't I say you weren't allowed to interfere?!" He was angry.
Hua Fei shook her head. He was angry, but she still had to say it: "That assistant has done a lot of things for Sun Xiaowei, maybe he knows where the child is."
"Impossible," Huo Beichen categorically denied.
Huafei's mind raced.
Why is he so sure?
He must have investigated this as well!
"Huo Beichen, what do you know?" she looked at him anxiously. "Tell me!"
Huo Beichen's eyes flickered. "In short, I'm certain that none of Sun Xiaowei's assistants know the child's whereabouts!"
"Huo Beichen!" This time it was Hua Fei's turn to be angry. "Even now, are you still going to hide things from me about the child?!"
"I don't……"
She had no patience to listen to him say anything more about the child. "Whether you have a child or not, I'm going to find my child in my own way, and please don't stop me!"
After saying that, she walked towards Zeze.
Huo Beichen stared at her figure, a hint of struggle flashing in his handsome eyes.
He wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately said nothing.
Hua Fei and Ze Ze played for a while, but then felt the temperature getting lower and lower, so they took Ze Ze back to their room.
She helped Zeze wash up, then read him storybooks until he became sleepy.
"Mom, did you and Dad have a fight?" Zeze asked sleepily as he snuggled close to her.
“We didn’t argue, but we have different opinions on a certain issue.” Hua Fei didn’t want to use the tricks you use to coax a child on him.
"Oh." Zeze understood, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.
Hua Fei looked at his little face with eyes full of love, and couldn't help but think of her other child.
Where is he now?
Do he and Zeze look alike?
Is he doing well?
...
She dared not think any further; her desire to find the child grew even more urgent and resolute.
The next morning, she got ready and walked out of the villa with A-Yue.
"Madam, where are you going?" As expected, the butler came to her side.
"On house call," Hua Fei replied.
"Madam, your own injury hasn't healed yet..."
"Let her go," Huo Beichen's voice suddenly rang out.
The butler immediately shut up and took two steps back.
Hua Fei turned her head and met Huo Beichen's gaze.
He stood by the sofa in the living room, his gaze flickering between light and shadow, showing some hesitation, but ultimately he didn't say anything to stop it.
Hua Fei turned around and started walking, without looking back at all.
Huo Beichen kept watching until her figure disappeared from sight... He felt his heart go empty as a result.
Instead, a sense of confusion and fear arose.
He thought that once they got married, she wouldn't leave again, but now he wasn't sure.
"gentlemen……"
The butler came to his side and was taken aback.
He had never seen such a look in Huo Beichen's eyes before... Huo Beichen seemed to have suddenly transformed from an omnipotent person into a helpless child who could only wait passively...
He understood that it was all because of his wife.
"Sir, why didn't you tell your wife about the Sun family..."
Huo Beichen shook his head, interrupting him, "So what? Can I make up for the mistakes I made?"
His mood was as low and sorrowful as his voice.
The butler could only sigh inwardly.
Huo Beichen turned and went upstairs.
Aunt Li came to the housekeeper's side and said, "Madam still can't get over that mental hurdle."
The butler asked in confusion, "Which level?"
“Back then, Mr. Sun Xiaowei got engaged. Taking advantage of her status as his fiancée, Sun Xiaowei did many outrageous things to him.”
The butler nodded. "Sir did realize his feelings too late. Some hurts, once caused, are hard to heal."
"Now, it all depends on whether the young master can be found successfully."
The car sped towards the patient's home.
"I didn't expect Huo Beichen to agree to let you come out," A-Yue said as she drove.
“When I spoke to him last night, I was very firm in my stance,” Hua Fei replied. “He knew he couldn’t stop me.”
“Why couldn’t he stop you? The Huo family is all his people,” A-Yue said. “If he really wanted to stop you, it would be very easy.”
"He didn't stop it because he didn't want to."
Hua Fei frowned: "A Yue, have you sided with Huo Beichen?"
