At the mention of Qiao An, Huo Xiaoran completely woke up.
He let go of Li Zecheng and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Huo Zhou called Jinghang Hospital. Soon, the ambulance carried Li Zecheng away.
When Huo Zhou pulled Huo Xiaoran away, he deliberately warned the Li family covetously, “Li Zecheng owes my Xiaoran this matter in the first place. If you’re not convinced and want to sue, our Huo family will accompany you to the end. By the way, my aunt’s death will also be reopened.”
With that, Huo Zhou helped the dazed Huo Xiaoran leave the Li family.
Everyone in the hall seemed to have been in a spell. They were all in a daze.
Huo Zhou’s words, “My aunt’s death will also be re-investigated.” It was as if a thunderclap had completely shaken the Li family’s pharmaceutical company that had stood in the capital for nearly a hundred years.
Everyone in the Li family looked ashen, as if they had been sentenced to death. After a long time, everyone came back to their senses. At this moment, they were like stray dogs. They looked at each other with tacit fear and worry
Huo Xiaoran’s biological mother, the woman who had been buried in their memories for many years and was almost forgotten by them, became alive again.
She was clearly an orphan, so they dared to bully her when she was alive. Who would have thought that her status was so noble?
She was actually Mr. Huo’s daughter.
The Li family was in danger, as if the end had come. No one saw any hope.
In Huo Zhou’s car, Huo Xiaoran lay on the rear seat and raised his head slightly. His handsome face was covered in indescribable sadness.
Huo Zhou sighed weakly when he saw Huo Xiaoran’s gray face through the rearview mirror.
He could understand Xiao Ran’s pain. After all, he cherished Qiao An so much. Now that he knew that the girl he loved the most had married a mountain wolf because of him and experienced the pain of life, Xiaoran’s guilt and self-blame could be imagined.
“Xiaoran, it’s not your fault. Li Zecheng deliberately separated you and Qiao An. It’s all his fault.”
Huo Xiaoran’s hands, which were hidden under his sleeves, were trembling violently. Li Zecheng’s words kept echoing in his mind. Qiao An had described their sex as rape. It was obvious how heavy the psychological damage was to her.
“Zhou Zhou, send me to Huaman City,” Huo Xiaoran said softly.
Huo Zhou sensed that Huo Xiaoran’s voice was a little tired and weak. He realized something and suddenly turned around.
Huo Xiaoran was trembling violently.
Was this another recurrence of his mental illness?
“Xiaoran, calm down. Don’t be nervous. This has been a long, long time.”
“No, I’m afraid it will leave an indelible bad impression on Qiao An,” Huo Xiaoran said fearfully.
Huo Zhou said, “Xiaoran, trust Qiao An. She’s a very strong girl.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I don’t need her to be so strong.”
Huo Zhou turned the steering wheel and drove into the street where Huaman City was. Soon, they arrived at the building.
However, in such a short period of time, Huo Xiaoran’s condition became worse and worse. He was curled up like a shrimp in the rear seat.
“An’an.” He called her name over and over.
Huo Zhou quickly parked the car and came to the back seat. He touched Huo Xiaoran’s forehead and realized that he had a fever again.
Every time Huo Xiaoran was anxious, he would have a fever.
Huo Zhou cried out, “Xiaoran, you’re sick. I have to send you to the hospital.”
Huo Xiaoran said stubbornly with his remaining consciousness, “I want to see An’an.”
Huo Zhou was helpless. He didn’t have Qiao An’s number, so he could only call Xiao Yue.
After the call connected, Huo Zhou directly said, “Yueyue, give me Qiao An’s room number. Your cousin Xiaoran wants to see her.”
Yueyue said, “We’ll have to discuss this with Sister Qiao An.”
Huo Zhou was furious and domineering. “There’s no room for discussion. Your cousin’s fever is so bad. He has to see Qiao An immediately. Otherwise, he won’t be willing to go to the hospital.”
On the other end, Qiao An interrupted almost without thinking when she heard Huo Zhou’s voice.
“Room 6 on the sixth floor of Building 6.”
Huo Zhou was slightly stunned. He could vaguely sense that Qiao An’s breathing was a little rapid, as if she was very worried about Xiaoran’s condition.
He carried Xiao Ran to Qiao An’s room.
It didn’t take him long to reach Qiao An’s door. She’d opened it and was waiting.
Seeing Huo Xiaoran drooping listlessly on Huo Zhou, Qiao An immediately came over.
“What happened to Brother Xiaoran?” she asked anxiously.
Huo Zhou said stiffly, “Didn’t you ask him to look for Li Zecheng? He went and found out the truth. He blamed himself for not protecting you well and making your life so miserable. Then, on the way back, he inexplicably had a fever.”
Huo Zhou helped Huo Xiaoran to the sofa. After Qiao An heard Huo Zhou’s explanation, her eyes lit up.
Xiao Yue was on the edge. “He’s already burning up like this. Sister Qiao An, do you have any fever medicine? Cousin has to take fever medicine.”
Qiao An glanced at Huo Xiaoran It was obvious that he had frequent episodes. It was not good to rely on medicine for a long time. She suggested, “Let’s try physical cooling first.”
Then, Qiao An silently went to get a basin of water, grabbed a dry towel, and gently wiped Huo Xiaoran’s hot forehead, palm, and other places.
Huo Zhou looked at Qiao An steadily. Her movements were so gentle. Because it was a physical cooling, she patiently grabbed a towel for him and wiped his body.
He suddenly thought of Huo Xiaoran’s real girlfriend, Lu Mo. When Huo Xiaoran’s illness acted up, she gave him fever medicine when his condition was still considered mild .
How could she be as patient and meticulous as Qiao An? She kept wiping him down and taking his temperature. After making sure the temperature had dropped, Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.
“Temperature’s down below thirty-eight and a half. We can skip the meds for now. It’s not good to take them often,” Qiao An said.
Huo Zhou nodded. Although his expression was calm, he was still a little touched.
No wonder Xiaoran liked Qiao An so much.
As the temperature dropped, Huo Xiaoran felt much better. He opened his eyes and held Qiao An’s hand. “An’an.” His voice was hoarse and filled with uncontrollable sorrow.
“I failed to protect you and made you suffer so much. I even blamed you for despising the poor and loving the rich. An’an, you must be very angry with me, right?”
Qiao An smiled bitterly. “Brother Xiaoran, it’s all in the past.”
He was so sick. It must have hit him hard. How could she complain?
After all, he was also a victim. The real culprit was that bastard Li Zecheng.
