232 UNWILLING TO PAR

"You, you are doing this on purpose." He shook his finger in Zhong Feng's direction.

Unfortunately, he still had to check the door. Once he left, Dr Huo looked at Hu Lei and then at Zhong Feng and sighed.

"I know that she has had many difficulties, but she is going to recover." She said.

Zhong Feng was silent for a moment before he looked at Dr Huo.

"I hope that you can take care of her during this period." He said.

Zhong Feng had already informed her of his plan to have her be treated in Herb Town. He felt like it would be the best solution with everything happening. While she could remain in Supreme and receive good care, it would be dangerous. The situation with the mercenaries could escalate. And he was not willing to delay her treatment for longer.

"Are you sure that you cannot make time to go to Herb Town with us?"

Dr Huo was not clear about the specifics of Hu Lei's injury. However, she was certain that it had something to do with Hu Lei's past. The young woman had not been very forthcoming, but she could piece together a general picture of her life.

Now that she knew that she was Ming's daughter, she was surer about her suspicions. She had always heard about Ming's ambitions to have the perfect offspring. It must have been hard for her to live well for all those years.

Therefore, she felt that it would be good for Zhong Feng to be close to her while she was receiving treatment. It would give her comfort.

"I don't want to be apart from her for even a second. But I must also eliminate all the hidden dangers surrounding her. Otherwise, she will always be afraid and might be pulled back into the darkness." Zhong Feng said.

Dr Huo nodded. "You can rest assured that I will protect her."

At that time, the elder returned with Dr Shui following in his wake. It had taken a short discussion for them to clear up their identities.

"You are late." Zhong Feng said to Shui.

"I was asleep." The doctor chuckled awkwardly.

He had dozed off while getting ready to meet up with Zhong Feng.

"Aunt Huo, what are you doing here?" He asked turning to his former professor.

"Can't you see that this is a professional setting? Call me doctor." Dr Huo chided him, but there was a small smile on her face.

"Dr Shui will accompany you to Herb Town. He is Hu Lei's primary physician." Zhong Feng did not mention the main reason he was sending his personal doctor and friend. He was worried about Hu Lei's safety and well-being in a new place.

If the Huo family developed a bias against Hu Lei because of her relationship with Hu Ming, he wanted to ensure that there would be someone to protect her unconditionally. He did not want to put faith in familial blood bonds.

He trusted Shui more than the entire Huo clan.

"When she is well, you can ask her." Zhong Feng said without thinking further.

Elder Huo could only look at the young fox with blazing eyes, but he could do nothing. After further discussion about the plans for moving to Herb Town, it was time to leave. They could not wait until morning because anyone interested in finding Hu Lei might discover their movements.

Dr Shui had come with an appropriate hospital vehicle for travelling. So, there were no complications with moving Hu Lei comfortably.

Zhong Feng picked up Hu Lei in his arms and walked out of Apothecary. Dr Shui walked beside him and opened the door and the van for him

When he entered the vehicle, Zhong Feng was reluctant to put her on the comfortable stretcher. He was not willing to part from her. Unfortunately, it was the only way to protect her and ensure that she recovers.

He remembered all the times that she would tell him about her worry about her mental well-being. She was always worried that she was losing her mind. With those thoughts, he kissed her forehead and whispered a few loving words to her before placing her on the bed.

"If anything happens to her, you should be ready to present your head." He looked at Dr Shui.

The other man nodded seriously without his usual attitude. He knew how much Hu Lei meant to Zhong Feng. He had been there when she had been missing, and he had been in a bad place. He would not let anything happen to her.

Zhong Feng stepped out of the van with unwillingness in his heart. But he steeled his heart. The old man was still dissatisfied with him. He looked at the young fox and huffed. Zhong did not mind.

"I am not certain if you are aware of this, but you also have a grandson." He decided to mention Fai.

The old man was thoroughly shocked. Dr Huo was a little surprised, but then she remembered that she had seen something about Lu Liang on social media. She had not paid much attention to it. Now, thinking about it, she realised that she really had a nephew.

"Where is he? Where is my grandson?" The old man was agitated.

"He will remain with me for now." With that, Zhong Feng walked away, leaving a very irate elder.

Actually, he did not mean it as a threat by keeping Fai. It is just that Fai was currently in the eye of the public. If he went to Herb Town, people would recognise him easily, and it would only be a matter of time before the mercenaries put one and two together and found their way to them.

Remaining in Supreme City would keep Hu Lei and Fai as well as the extended Huo family safe. In any case, Zhong Feng would never harm his wife's little brother.

Still, he did not mind it if the elder and Huo family took it as a threat. This only meant that they would be more careful with his treasure.
