Chapter 44 He suddenly felt panicky
When Jiang Qin woke up, her stomach was growling.
My mind is not as clear as before after waking up, but still a little groggy.
It was like she had a chaotic dream that consumed all her energy, and in the dream she still felt the fear she had when she saw the old lady faint.
So at this moment, Jiang Qin sat up from the bed, and his first reaction was how is the old lady now?
Jiang Qin had an impression of this room. It was the master bedroom upstairs in the independent villa courtyard of Huo Sili in the old manor.
Jiang Qin hadn't been here for a while, and there were many beautiful memories left here between the two of them. However, at this moment, Jiang Qin had no nostalgic thoughts. After her mind adjusted, she got out of bed almost immediately.
And it was at this moment that she noticed her bag on the bedside table. Jiang Qin quickly unzipped it, took out her cell phone, turned it on, opened the address book and called Zhou Fu.
This is how she realized that an hour had passed since the previous moment.
It's already past eleven in the morning.
The call hadn't been connected yet, and Jiang Qin was anxious. She quickly went to the bathroom and prepared to pack up and go to the medical building to check.
However, at this moment, the door of the master bedroom was pushed open, and a familiar tall figure appeared in the door frame.
Jiang Qin was walking towards the bathroom when she was startled. Huo Sili came in with a basin of something in his hand. "Are you awake?"
"How's grandma?" At the same time, Jiang Qin almost blurted out this sentence when she saw Huo Sili.
But the moment the words came out, Jiang Qin realized that the old lady should be fine.
Otherwise, he would definitely not appear here.
Sure enough, soon she heard Horsley say that the old lady was fine and that the situation was the same as last time, a little frightening but not dangerous.
"However." Horsley changed the subject.
Jiang Qin suddenly became nervous again, her face turned pale, "But what?"
Horsley put the basin of stuff on a low table beside him.
Jiang Qin glanced over and noticed two ice packs and two strips of white cotton cloth inside.
He picked up an ice pack and wrapped it with cotton cloth, looking at her. "But the doctor specifically said that grandma's current illness is greatly affected by emotions. Although there is no problem found now, it does not mean that it is fine."
He gave her a meaningful look and said, "This kind of situation that makes grandma feel irritated must be stopped."
Jiang Qin's face suddenly became a little stiff. Just as she was about to apologize, her stomach growled again.
The sound was particularly loud in the silent room.
Jiang Qin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but she was even more afraid that Huo Sili would think too much. After all, being hungry easily was also one of the early pregnancy reactions. If it were a normal time, she wouldn't be so hungry at this point unless she hadn't had breakfast.
"I'll ask the kitchen to bring some food over."
But unexpectedly, the made-up sentence "I don't eat much breakfast in the morning" was not said. Horsley's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he handed the ice pack wrapped in cotton cloth to her, and suddenly said this.
Jiang Qin's eyes widened slightly, indeed she was a little surprised, but soon she was attracted by the ice pack wrapped in cotton cloth that Huo Sili handed to her.
Her face did hurt, and it seemed to be even more painful when she woke up. I wonder if it was because she was used to sleeping on her side and it put pressure on her.
After a slight pause, Jiang Qin still reached out to take it, "Thank you."
After saying this, she held the ice pack and applied it to her face. Because it was wrapped in cotton cloth, the temperature was just right, cool but not freezing.
But Jiang Qin's thank you undoubtedly made Huo Sili feel uncomfortable. The man frowned slightly, and the color of his eyes deepened instantly as he looked at her.
However, noticing that the person in front of him looked visibly pale, Horsley swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He glanced at her left wrist and saw a flash of red blood in front of his eyes. It was not reality, but the scene he saw when he pushed open the door of the public restroom upstairs that day.
His heart was beating violently, as if he was swept by fear, and Horsley suddenly turned his head to look out the window.
The sky was blue and the clouds were white, bright and clear. My eyes fell back into the room, becoming much softer.
This house underwent a major renovation more than half a year ago. It changed from the cold black, white and gray tones to the current cozy wooden style. Warmth is everywhere, and it is difficult for people to get angry when they are in it.
That bit of unhappiness seemed to be absorbed by the wooden furniture.
But when Huo Sili looked back at Jiang Qin and wanted to say something, Jiang Qin had already looked away.
He followed her gaze and stopped at an ornament, a small wooden bird.
It has bright colors and a cute shape. It was one of the gifts she gave him on Chinese Valentine's Day in the second year of their marriage.
The softest part of his heart was touched, and the emotions in Huo Sili's eyes changed several times, because he clearly remembered that he had put this little thing in a safe.
When was it placed here?
He didn't know, but he was sure that only he and she knew the combination of the safe.
"Qinqin, we..."
Jiang Qin raised her hand and applied the ice pack to her face. When she saw the wooden bird, her mind wandered for a moment.
My heart felt sour, but I no longer had the feeling of wanting to cry when I first broke up.
When she heard him calling her, she turned around almost out of politeness and said with a blank expression, "Hmm?"
But what I was thinking was, what about us? Make peace?
It is bold to dream during the day.
The cell phone rang, Huo Sili frowned and opened the call, but Li Xueqian's voice appeared, interrupting everything.
"Brother Si Li! Why aren't you at home?! Where are you now? I have something urgent to talk to you about!"
Jiang Qin raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting it, but not surprised either.
Coincidentally, the old butler Zhou Fu personally brought someone to deliver lunch.
Hearing the noise coming from the large flat-floor restaurant outside, Jiang Qin walked out without hesitation, past Huo Sili.
Huo Sili turned around to look at Jiang Qin, but could only see her back. She pressed the door handle of the master bedroom, and even her back quickly disappeared.
Feeling panicky, Huo Sili hung up the phone with a few words, frowned and walked out quickly.
Outside, Jiang Qin had washed her hands, sat down on the dining chair, and started eating with her chopsticks.
My ears heard him coming, but my eyes didn't even glance at him.
"Then Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, we will be leaving first, enjoy your meal!"
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhou Fu quickly signaled the servant who had prepared the meal to leave with him.
The elevator carrying everyone moved downwards, and in a flash, only Jiang Qin and Huo Sili were left in the large flat.
Jiang Qin was still concentrating on eating, without shifting his gaze at all.
Huo Sili looked at Jiang Qin, his dark eyes deep, "Qinqin, let's talk."
Jiang Qin's eyes remained fixed on the lotus root. She opened her pink lips and bit off a piece of the stewed lotus root held by her chopsticks with her pearly teeth. She chewed it carefully and swallowed it. Then she responded without raising her head, "Okay, after dinner."
Horsley: “…”
I opened my phone and looked at it. It was not yet twelve o'clock.
I work on weekdays and get off work at 12 o'clock. She was never seen going to the staff cafeteria or picking up takeout immediately after get off work at noon.
Thinking of something, Huo Sili frowned suddenly, his eyes darkened as he looked at Jiang Qin.
