Gu Zhu didn't come along, so Huo Lin drove himself, with Xun Ting sitting obediently in the passenger seat.
"Fasten your seatbelt."
"Okay." Xun Ting pulled the seatbelt over and fastened it to himself, making it crooked and awkward.
The man chuckled as he saw this, leaning closer to her so he could see her fluttering eyelashes up close, their curves and her high, straight nose.
Her cherry-red lips were tightly pursed; it was clear she was nervous, her body tense, and her expression stiff.
Huo Lin skillfully fastened her seatbelt, then sat back in his own seat, fastened his seatbelt, and drove away from the Huo family's parking lot.
Remembering what Grandma Huo had said, Xun Ting became much bolder. She mustered her courage and looked at the man, "Mr. Huo, you don't keep dogs to eat people, you keep them company, right?"
"Dogs don't eat human flesh." Huo Lin focused on turning the steering wheel, not looking at her.
He had never driven so seriously in his life, simply because his passenger was sitting in the front seat.
Do dogs really not eat human flesh?
"Hmm." Huo Lin hummed softly. He had lied; a dog will eat anything when it's hungry.
But I won't eat her.
...
...
Lin Qingbai kept calling like a madman the next morning. Luckily, the villain was already at work and not at home, otherwise it would have been bad to wake him up.
She rubbed her eyelids, a little annoyed. "Hey."
"Xunting, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you? You promised to go to the hospital, and you can't go back on your word!" The male voice on the other end sounded somewhat irritable.
"See you at the hospital." Xun Ting said these three words, hung up the phone, scratched his head, and got up to tidy himself up.
Hospital
As soon as she walked in, she saw a group of reporters surrounding her. "Ms. Xunting, we heard that you promised Young Master Lin that you would donate your heart to Xunmengmeng first. Is that true?"
"Your adoptive parents love you so much, yet you always argue with them, making demands of this and that. Don't you think you're being a bit too demanding as an adopted daughter?"
"Now you want people searching for the parents to stop looking for a heart donor for their biological daughter? Are you even human?"
"I did promise Lin Qingbai I'd come to the hospital, but did I say anything else?" Xun Ting glanced at the flashing lights around her, then leaned against the wall, seemingly unconcerned.
She continued, "I can't stop them from finding a heart for their biological daughter, that's a human life too. But they want me to give up my heart? No way. Their biological daughter is a life, but what about me, an adopted daughter?"
"So, you're saying you're unwilling to donate your heart because your parents want you to, not because you don't want them to find other heart donors?"
"yes."
"That concludes today's visit. You may all leave!" Seeing that the conversation was becoming increasingly unpleasant, Mr. Xun impatiently urged the reporters to leave.
Xun's mother half-dragged her into the ward, saying, "Xun Ting, let's go inside and talk as a family."
"Reporters, remember to observe whether I am still alive tomorrow. If I am not alive, then I am the biological daughter who was forcibly given her heart by her parents while searching for them!"
Xun Ting walked unhurriedly into the ward, not forgetting to speak to the reporter behind him.
"Xun Ting, what are you saying? You're practically our own daughter, so of course we cherish you too." Xun's mother glared at her fiercely.
After entering the ward, the door was locked with a snap.
Xun Ting casually pulled over a stool and sat down.
“Listen to this, you know it’s a human life, so why can’t you donate your heart to Mengmeng first, and then Dad will find a heart donor for you? Wouldn’t it be better if both of you were safe and sound?”
