"Uncle Changfeng."
The caller was none other than Huo Changfeng.
When Shangguan Tong heard his name, he turned his head slightly to look out of the window. However, he instinctively looked away and even his breathing became lighter.
Huo Yao did not seem to notice Aunt Tong's subtle movements and continued talking on the phone. "... Yes, my phone ran out of battery."
Huo Changfeng finally relaxed when he heard this. "That's good. Oh yes. When are you coming back, Yaoyao?"
Huo Yao calculated the time and said, "About two hours."
Huo Yao tapped her knees gently and paused for two seconds. Before Uncle Changfeng could say anything, she took the initiative to ask. "Uncle, why are you calling me so late at night? Did something happen at the hospital?"
Huo Changfeng had called to talk about the successor assessment. Seeing that Huo Yao had misunderstood, he explained. "Nothing happened at the hospital..."
Huo Yao interrupted him with a solemn look on her face. "Did Uncle's health suddenly deteriorate?"
Huo Changfeng was instantly stunned. "???"
Did he say that?
Before he could react, Huo Yao's voice came through the phone again. "Okay. I'll rush back to the hospital as soon as possible. Wait for me, Uncle."
"No..." Huo Changfeng's face trembled. Before he could finish his sentence, the phone had already hung up.
Huo Changfeng was speechless.
What was Eldest Miss trying to imply with these words?
Huo Jingfeng, who was eating slowly next to him, glanced at his chief steward. When he saw the dumbfounded look on his face, he could not help knocking his chopsticks on his bowl. "What did Yaoyao say?"
Huo Changfeng slowly lowered his phone from his ear and thought about it for half a minute before he seemed to have figured it out. He looked up at Huo Changfeng and said, "Sir, I think Huo Yao already knows that you're awake."
She must have been trying to trick him by saying that his condition had worsened.
That must be it.
Huo Jingfeng instantly coughed, which affected his wound. His face turned a little pale. "Ahem... How did she know? Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret? "
Huo Changfeng hurriedly went over to help him breathe. "I don't know either. But before she hung up, she said that she would go to the hospital as soon as possible."
Huo Jingfeng calmed down. He recalled how his niece had gone to great lengths to save him but he did not tell her the moment he woke up. He felt inexplicably ashamed.
How terrible must Yaoyao be?
Huo Jing stopped eating and stood up. He said anxiously, "Go, prepare a car for me to go back to the hospital."
The corners of Huo Changfeng's lips twitched when he saw his master's desire to live. "Why don't you eat first? Eldest Miss shouldn't be that fast …"
"I'm not feeling well, so I want to go to the hospital and lie down, okay?" Huo Jingfeng said coldly
Huo Changfeng said, "Whatever you say."
***
In the car, Huo Yao hung up the call. The anxiety on her face was obvious.
Min Yu, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror. He sped up and asked Huo Yao. "Did something happen to Uncle Huo?"
Huo Yao turned her head away and looked out of the window. She replied softly after a while. Anyone could hear the stress in her voice.
Shangguan Tong, who had been sitting quietly by the side, looked very pale. He could no longer remain calm and said with difficulty, "Isn't your uncle's condition stabilized? Why did he suddenly …?"
