"Where is your home? Shall I send you back?" Huo Ting said in a kind tone, but I was somewhat resentful towards him.
He broke my dream, though to help me.
"I don't have a home, so you'd better not meddle in other people's business. Let me go." I pulled on the car door. If it wasn't Mu Chen, then I wouldn't go anywhere.
"Miss Su, your body isn't in a good condition to begin with. If this goes on, you will …"
"What will happen? Will he die? "
I used to be afraid of death, but now that Mu Chen is dead and my mother is about to die, this body of mine won't last much longer.
I suddenly yearned for death. For a person who has no hope for the future, living on would instead be a form of torture.
"Miss Su, don't be too sad …"
"Dr. Huo, thank you for treating me all this time. Also, my mother … I don't want to give you any more trouble, just let me down. "
I took a deep breath. I've had enough of the sympathetic stares of others. I'm miserable, but I don't need to be pitied.
"Su …"
Just as I was about to open the door, I felt a sudden dizziness, and then I lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, what I saw stunned me.
A warm bed, warm air and Bo Lengqing's inhuman home were like heaven and earth.
"You're awake?"
Huo Ting's voice rang in his ears as he carried a bowl to the bedside.
In my mind, I recalled the broken bowl of chicken soup and curled up in fear.
"This is a bowl of Chinese medicine soup to dispel the cold. Drinking it can warm my body and remove the moisture in my body. It won't be bitter, I added honey to it."
Huo Ting's voice was very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
I slowly let my guard down. He picked up the spoon and fed me, but I turned my head away uncomfortably.
"I'll do it myself."
Huo Ting smiled and handed the bowl to me.
"Be careful."
He sat on the edge of the bed and watched me finish the soup without a drop left, and brought me a bowl of noodles.
"You fainted because you didn't eat anything. I don't know if it suits your taste, but you should at least eat something."
His extremely gentle voice reminded me of when Mu Chen used to coax me to eat when I was sick. Whenever I thought of Mu Chen, I couldn't help but cry.
"You … "Don't cry …"
He panicked, and I came back to my senses, wiped the tears from my face, and ate the noodles in one gulp.
I can't fall yet, at least not yet, for my mother's sake.
"You can rest here today. I'll send you back tomorrow morning."
I didn't refuse Huo Ting's good intentions. I was too tired, so I really needed a place to stay and a good night's sleep.
The next morning, I woke up and was just about to leave Huo Ting's house when I heard a knock on the door. I went to open the door kindly, but when I saw the person outside, my expression turned ugly.
It was the same for Xu Ran who was outside the door.
"Su Cha?! Why is it you? Why are you at brother Huo Ting's house?! "
When I saw Xu Ran, I couldn't control my anger. If she didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that she was licking her dog at Huo Ting's side back in the hospital.
"Guess if I'll tell you?"
I laughed coldly as I looked at Xu Ran. Right at this moment, I heard a commotion upstairs, it seemed like Huo Ting was about to come down.
"You bitch! Not only is it not enough to seduce my sister's man, you even want to snatch my big brother Huo Ting! "
Xu Ran was so angry that she directly attacked me. Before she could even slap me, the moment I touched her face, I had already made a move and fell backwards …
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Huo Ting, who was about to go downstairs.
"Miss Su!"
Men are always more sympathetic to the weaker side, especially since I'm a patient.
Huo Ting immediately rushed down the stairs to help me up. I fell limply into his embrace and Xu Ran immediately pointed at me, flustered and exasperated.
"Brother Huo Ting, don't believe this woman. She's the one who framed me!"
Huo Ting frowned as he looked at Xu Ran, his mind extremely cold.
"Miss Su is my patient, don't falsely accuse her!"
"Patient?! Brother Huo Ting, why don't you go to the hospital? Why is this woman at your house? "Don't forget that I am yours …"
"Xu Ran! There is a limit to a person's tolerance, so don't push your luck! "
I leaned into Huo Ting's embrace, and revealed a smile that only Xu Ran and I could see.
Does it hurt Xu Ran?
Did you know that when Mu Chen was killed by all of you using rumors and slanders, my heart ached just like yours!
Your lover is still alive, but my lover has left me forever!
"Brother Huo Ting, you don't even know anything. The woman in your embrace, she can steal her sister's husband for money. For money, she even betrayed her lover …"
"Xu Ran, you kept hurting me again and again. I can endure this, but I won't allow you to insult my feelings towards Mu Chen! He has already been killed by you, why are you still unwilling to let us go?! "
I denounced Xu Ran, my voice filled with tears.
Huo Ting's expression turned uglier and uglier. I knew that I had achieved half of my goal.
"Xu Ran, are you done yet?"
"Brother Huo Ting, listen to my explanation …" Xu Ran still wanted to throw some dirty water on me, so I just pretended to faint.
"Enough! I don't want to hear anything from you, so don't come and disturb me in the future! "
Huo Ting closed the door forcefully as he spoke.
"Miss Su, you don't need to continue pretending."
Huo Ting's expression didn't look good. Since the other party was so direct, I might as well get up from his side.
"Dr. Huo, nice to meet you." I smiled at Huo Ting.
"Tell me, how did Xu Ran offend you?"
I shrugged. "I'm just helping you get rid of the burden, which is your reward for taking me in last night. It's fair that you pay me both for the goods."
"I have never said that Xu Ran was my burden." Huo Ting looked at me for a while before returning to his usual gentleness and elegance.
I smiled, noncommittal.
"Oh right, the Mu Chen you mentioned, sounds a little familiar, he …"
My expression immediately turned somewhat ugly. All these years, Mu Chen's name had always been my forbidden area.
I took a deep breath and looked at Huo Ting.
"Doctor Huo, you took me in last night as a favor to you. I will return it to you in the future. This is something else that I can't tell you."
After saying that, I opened the door and left Huo Ting's house.
I didn't directly return to Bo Lengqing's villa, but chose to go to the nursing home where my mother stayed. When I rushed to the nursing home, I was informed that my mother had been taken away.
Bo Lengqing chose this place because other than him, I know that Su Jianguo and the rest didn't have hands that long.
I frowned. Right now, Bo Lengqing should still have my mother.
I suddenly felt a strong sense of regret for my decision.
Bo Lengqing is basically no different from Su Jianguo's family. No matter who it is, my mother will just become their weapon, that's all!
Thinking about it, I quickly ran back to Bo Lengqing's villa.
Just as I pushed open the door, I saw Bo Lengqing sitting on the sofa with a dark expression. He looked very angry.
"Where did you go last night?"
