Chapter 521 No Longer Able to Control Oneself
Huo Yanmo did many things that day.
He went downstairs and back to his car.
Secretary Xu waited outside for a while before getting into the driver's seat.
This gives Huo Yanmo time to process his feelings.
Everyone in City A knows that Huo Yanmo and Shi Nian have a deep relationship.
Over the past year, other people have introduced other women to Huo Yanmo, but each time Huo Yanmo angrily chased them away.
Many people have advised him—
"Shi Nian may never wake up in this lifetime, you should try to be more open-minded."
“You’re not getting any younger. You can’t always take care of the child alone. Sisi is a girl, and she needs a mother too.”
Such things.
But Huo Yanmo refused them all.
His statement was: "Even if Sisi is a girl, she has female elders and a nanny in her family. You don't need to worry about Sisi and me."
The reason is simply because he was still thinking about Shi Nian.
Secretary-General Xu sighed, sat in the driver's seat, and looked in the rearview mirror at Huo Yanmo, who was looking down at his tablet and seemed no different from usual.
"Mr. Huo, where are we going now?" Secretary Xu asked.
Huo Yanmo put down his tablet and said, "Let's go back to the Huo residence first."
"Yes," Secretary Xu replied, then started the car.
He has rarely returned here in the past year.
I spend most of my time at the hospital.
Today he suddenly wanted to come back and visit.
The housekeepers maintain it daily, and it's exactly the same as before.
Their kitten was taken to the house next to the hospital, where the cat tree is still there.
I remember when we had a meal together here before, we even made a cat-powered wheel for the cat, and it's still here now.
"Sir, you're back." The butler hurried over.
Huo Yanmo nodded.
He went upstairs to their bedroom, where they had slept together for countless days and nights.
She always had a light sleep and often woke up in the middle of the night.
"You slept soundly this time," Huo Yanmo said softly.
He went out again and went to their study, where the two of them used to work together. There was a safe behind the painting in the study.
He remembered the will he had shown her before, and he thought that he might be the one who would die, but it turned out that the one who had been sleeping all along was her.
He walked outside and looked down to see the children's playground he had set up for Sisi. There were many alpaca dolls inside, and Sisi especially liked those dolls.
Later, the family bought several alpacas to keep as pets.
Huo Yanmo went upstairs and opened the door to the art studio.
After the wedding, the paintings were brought back.
Looking at these paintings now, he feels sad.
During that year, he and Sisi had also painted some pictures about Shi Nian together, but often they stopped halfway through because they were too sad.
As a result, many unfinished products were added here.
Thinking back to what he had said to her here, and the way she looked at him, he felt even more heartbroken.
"well……"
Huo Yanmo sighed deeply, turned off the light, and came out.
"Sir, it's almost lunchtime. What would you like to eat?" the butler asked.
"Just make something simple, I need to go see my mom later," Huo Yanmo said.
"Okay." The butler immediately went to make the arrangements.
Huo Yanmo took some fish food to feed the fat koi, and then fed some carrots to the alpaca, imagining her by his side.
After a quick lunch, he took his things and went to see Zheng Shuhui.
Just like before, Huo Yanmo would regularly transfer money to Zheng Shuhui's card and buy her seasonal clothes and jewelry.
See if Zheng Shuhui is missing anything, and make up for it.
Everything remained the same as when Shi Nian was still awake; nothing had changed.
When Zheng Shuhui saw it was him, her eyes reddened again.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huo Yanmo left.
He stayed with Xu Qinxin for a while, then went back to the hospital, put Shi Nian in a wheelchair, picked her up, and then went to the school to pick up Sisi in advance.
"Dad, where are we going today?" Sisi asked, taking Shi Nian's hand.
Huo Yanmo patted Sisi's head and said, "Sisi, how about we go see the place where your mom and I prepared for our wedding last year?"
"Okay." Sisi nodded.
It's the same auditorium as last year.
The setup is exactly the same as last year.
Huo Yanmo pushed Shi Nian in her wheelchair, with Sisi beside them, and they stayed there together for a long time.
When they returned home that evening, Xu Qinxin and Zheng Shuhui took Sisi with them, while Huo Yanmo drove Shi Nian to the cemetery once again.
The cemetery was quiet.
Huo Yanmo was burning paper money by himself.
After burning paper money at Shi Yichen's grave, they went to burn paper money at the grave that Shi Nian had erected for his child, and finally went to his father's grave.
He took Shi Nian to see all the sights along the way, and then drove her to the big lake where they had chatted together last year.
He lifted her out of the wheelchair and sat her on the same bench where they had sat together last year.
Looking at the moon reflected on the lake, just like last year, she leaned softly against him, seemingly oblivious to everything.
He sat there, and suddenly felt very sad.
Unable to hold back any longer, he held her in his arms, tears streaming down his face silently.
...
On the other side.
Lu Yanzhi sat alone in the back seat of the car.
At noon, he took advantage of Huo Yanmo's absence to go and see Shi Nian.
Later that evening, after he finished his work, he wanted to go see her again, but found that she was gone.
He went and asked the hospital.
"Her husband took her out earlier, saying he would be back later," that's what the nurses at the station said.
"Has something happened to her?" he asked anxiously.
"No, the patient is the same as before, her body has recovered and there are no problems, she just hasn't woken up yet," the nurse replied. "Her husband said she's been lying there for too long and wants to take her out to see a doctor."
Lu Yanzhi then left.
Looking at the pitch-black night sky outside.
He knew why Huo Yanmo suddenly wanted to take her out.
Because tomorrow is her first wedding anniversary.
Everything that happened that day last year feels like a dream.
Lu Yanzhi looked at his legs.
He suddenly felt his legs start to hurt again.
"Mr. Lu, where are we going now?" Zhou Zhiyu, who was driving, asked.
Zhou Zhiyu had taken a break for a few months after Lu Yanzhi resigned. Now he has returned to Lu Yanzhi's side in the same position as before, but with a raise and increased bonuses. Lu Yanzhi also gave him paid leave during the months he took off.
“Let’s go back to the apartment,” Lu Yanzhi said.
“Yes,” Zhou Zhiyu replied, then drove to the apartment.
As they went upstairs, Zhou Zhiyu pushed Lu Yanzhi's wheelchair back to the apartment floor.
