"For treatment … He said he hasn't been feeling well lately. I don't know if it's because of the medicine he took, but we made an appointment today. Don't worry about me. If I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap at the hospital. Don't worry about me. If you're tired from work, you should take a nap in the office. You stayed up so late with me last night …"
"Okay." Qin Chu nodded.
Huo Mien stared at her husband for a while before asking slowly, "Honey, why do you have a gun?"
Qin Chu slowly raised his head and looked at Huo Mien's face. He said word by word, "Shootings happen all the time in the States. The area I lived in wasn't peaceful for a while. I was robbed by a few black men … Then, to protect myself, I bought a gun. It's legal to own a gun in the States. Maybe I got used to it and felt insecure after I came back, so I asked Rick to get me another one."
"Oh, oh …" Huo Mien nodded.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? "
"No, I was just scared that something would happen to you … I was a little surprised."
"It's okay. I'll be fine," Qin Chu comforted her.
"Honey … those years in the States must have been hard, right?"
Huo Mien had never asked Qin Chu how he was doing in the States.
She didn't dare to think about it because she knew that Qin Chu wasn't an ignorant rich kid who ate, drank, and played every day in the States.
He was Chinese and lived in a place like the States for seven years. He didn't have any friends or family and was extremely lonely.
When Qin Chu said that he was robbed, it was just an understatement …
But Huo Mien could feel that it wasn't a happy memory.
The truth was, when Qin Chu first went to the States, he was just a young man in his early twenties.
He wasn't mature yet. He wasn't familiar with the place and would be ostracized if he went there.
Once, after studying at night, he was robbed by a few black men in a pickup truck on his way home.
Qin Chu was actually very skilled. He was a Taekwondo master in China.
But it was useless in America, because they had guns. If you moved, you would die in minutes.
Therefore, he was beaten up badly and robbed of all his money …
In the end, he endured the pain, got up, called an ambulance, and went to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that he had broken three ribs on his left side.
But that was in a foreign country. He was all alone. He had no parents, no Huo Mien …
He had spent those days alone.
Later on, he bought a gun from the black market and became even colder …
However, he had never been bullied by anyone … Instead, he had once saved the life of a gang leader during a gang fight.
That person was Rick's elder brother, Lino. Thus, he was still the benefactor of the Rick family.
However, he had never mentioned these unpleasant memories to Huo Mien.
Because he didn't want her to worry or be sad …
However, Huo Mien was a smart person. She could tell that Qin Chu was trying to cover up his sadness.
"Honey … from now on, no one will bully you. I'll protect you."
Huo Mien's eyes were once again drowned in tears …
She looked at Qin Chu and said in a choked voice.
"Okay … from now on, I'll need you to protect me, Dr. Huo." Qin Chu smiled.
Huo Mien's heart ached even more …
After breakfast, Qin Chu drove Huo Mien to South Side before he went to work.
When Huo Mien arrived at South Side, her eyes felt dry. She picked up the eye drops on her desk and poured two drops on them.
Ni Yang walked in at this time. He didn't even knock on the door, so no one noticed.
"Sister Huo Mien."
"You little brat, you scared me. Why didn't you knock?" Huo Mien put down the eye drops and looked at Ni Yang.
"I didn't want to disturb other people. The nurses at your hospital are so annoying … I was afraid that they would come over and ask for autographs or pictures," Ni Yang laughed.
"You didn't sleep well last night? Why are your eyes so red? "Ni Yang was shocked when he saw Huo Mien's rabbit-like eyes.
