Chapter 37 Snap—!
Snapped--!
Military hospital, inpatient corridor.
A crisp slap rang out, startling everyone present.
The reason was simple: the person who slapped the other was Old Mrs. Huo, and the person who was slapped was Huo Sili!
As a top wealthy family in Kyoto, the Huo family's servants are known for their tight-lipped nature. Although they dare not say anything, those of them who came to the military hospital with the old lady know that the old lady usually dotes on the second young master.
It's fair to say that the old lady thinks about her grandson in everything she does!
But now, the old man actually raised his hand and slapped the second young master across the face in front of so many people!
You know, the second young master is already twenty-eight this year! Not eighteen!
Besides, even if the second young master is eighteen, if you want to discipline a child and have to resort to physical punishment, you can't do it in front of so many people... This...
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The maids supporting Old Madam Huo lowered their heads instantly, not daring to look at the scene before them.
The old housekeeper, Zhou Fu, was standing next to Old Madam Huo. When he saw this scene, his old eyes widened, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. He was so frightened that he trembled.
"Grandma, please calm down! Don't be angry, your health is the most important thing!" Having worked for the Huo family for decades, Zhou Fu was very professional and quickly realized what was going on. Thinking of the old lady's health, he quickly calmed her down.
Then he looked at Huo Sili, who had been waiting peacefully outside the ward, but was suddenly slapped by an old lady who came out of the elevator.
He opened his mouth to try to comfort her, but before he could say anything, he heard the sound of another elevator door opening.
Realizing who had arrived, Zhou Fu's head spun even more.
As expected, the scene became even more chaotic as soon as Yuan Lianqing appeared.
"This, this... Mom! How old is Sili? You, you can't hit a child like that!"
Although Yuan Lianqing was somewhat afraid of Huo Sili's son for certain reasons, she didn't really like him.
But Horsley, like her, had naturally pale skin. When she saw the clear handprint on her son's handsome face, it was obvious that someone had slapped her across the face.
Yuan Lianqing couldn't stand it. No matter how much she disliked the child, it was still a piece of her flesh and blood!
She's never even been able to hit him!
Old Mrs. Huo was already furious, and her daughter-in-law's words were like walking right into her trap.
Zhou Fu was in a real predicament. Fortunately, just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to start arguing, Huo Sili, the person who had been beaten, spoke up.
"Mom, I'm fine. Grandma, you did a good job."
Yuan Lianqing, who was fiercely demanding justice for her son, turned around and asked, "...?"
Grandma Huo looked up. Her face, which was always kind, was still not pleasant. However, it was noticeably better than before because of what she said. But just two seconds later, the old lady turned to Huo Sili.
"Humph!"
After giving a cold snort, the old lady turned and walked toward the doctor standing next to her.
After inquiring, we learned about Jiang Qin's condition. She was not injured in other parts of her body, but her wrist was cut by a knife, and she lost too much blood, which caused her to fall into a coma. The bleeding has now stopped, and after she is given nutrition and a good rest for an hour or two, she will wake up naturally.
In addition, the doctor advised the patient to eat more blood-nourishing foods and to avoid going out for the next few days, and to rest more to replenish physical strength and lost blood and energy.
"However, none of these are the most crucial things. The most crucial thing is..."
The doctor looked at the old lady, then glanced cautiously at Huo Sili standing beside her, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Qiu Huilan glanced at Huo Sili, who had somehow joined the conversation, then gave her grandson a cold look before turning to the doctor with kindness. "Doctor, you don't need to worry about him. Just tell me what you want to say!"
The young doctor quickly looked away from Hollis, said "Hey!" to the old lady, and continued speaking in one breath:
"However, ma'am, the key to treating a patient who has cut her wrists is to keep her away from things and people that affect her emotions, so as to avoid further stimulation. In cases like this, there is usually a knot in her heart. If she is to fully recover, the knot in her heart must be untied!"
Who can argue with that? Old Mrs. Huo is over seventy years old; she naturally understands this kind of thing.
Yuan Lianqing stood outside the window looking at Jiang Qin lying in the ward. Seeing that the doctor had left, she walked over to the grandmother and granddaughter, about to say something, when suddenly, someone came from the other end of the elevator. Upon seeing the person, Yuan Lianqing immediately forgot what she wanted to say.
"Chi Shen, what brings you here?" Yuan Lianqing looked at her eldest son, who was being pushed over in a wheelchair, and then gave the servants behind Huo Chi Shen a look of obvious reproach.
Huo Chishen looked up at Yuan Lianqing with a gentle expression, "I heard that Qinqin had an accident, so I was worried and came to check on her."
After all, the elder brother and his sister-in-law are relatives. Yuan Lianqing patted her eldest son on the shoulder. She had originally wanted to ask Jiang Qin, who was lying in the hospital bed, what had happened that led her to cut her wrists. But at this moment, she no longer cared about her daughter-in-law.
She only felt sorry for her eldest son, saying, "You're such a kind-hearted child."
A detached gaze fell upon them; it was Huo Sili, who had escorted Jiang Qin into the ward and had remained silent in the corridor ever since, only uttering a few words.
Huo Chishen looked up and met Huo Sili's gaze across the group, who was standing next to the old lady.
As Yuan Lianqing placed her hand on the switch that controlled the wheelchair's movement, she saw it and offered, "I'll push you."
Huo Chishen was pushed in front of Huo Sili. He still had that gentle demeanor, but when he spoke again, he had the tone of someone disciplining a child.
“Sili, Qinqin is a girl. Even if you throw a tantrum at her, you should have a limit. How could you drive her to the point of cutting her wrists? You are already twenty-eight years old, not a child anymore. Doing this is a bit too much.”
Beside Huo Sili, Old Mrs. Huo frowned. Although she subconsciously wanted to protect Huo Sili, her eldest grandson's words were indeed true, which was also the reason why she had slapped Huo Sili in anger earlier.
She knew Qinqin well; when her grandmother passed away, she never thought of suicide.
What kind of injustice must one have suffered to think of cutting their wrists?
The more Mrs. Huo thought about it, the more upset she became. This time, she finally sided with Huo Chishen.
“That’s right.” Qiu Huilan glanced at Huo Chishen, then looked at Huo Sili, her face filled with deep disappointment. But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhou Fu’s concerned voice, which clearly showed relief.
"Grandma, the second young mistress seems to be waking up soon! I just saw her move!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Sili, who had been staring at Huo Chishen, immediately looked away and went to open the ward door.
"You brat, stop right there! What are you doing going in there?" Old Mrs. Huo called out to stop him.
"Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? Qinqin needs to stay away from people and things that might upset her!"
Huo Sili paused slightly, turned around, and his sharp, handsome eyebrows were now clearly red-rimmed, and with the very conspicuous handprint, he looked quite aggrieved.
"grandmother…"
Grandma Huo was speechless, but when she remembered that her close friend had entrusted her granddaughter to her care, her heartache vanished instantly.
"Grandma? Calling her ancestor won't help today!" Old Mrs. Huo raised her voice.
"You are absolutely not allowed to go in today! You can only see each other after you have reflected on your actions and gained my granddaughter-in-law's forgiveness!"
Grandma Huo said in an unquestionable tone, "Once Qinqin wakes up, I will arrange for her to stay in a house outside. It just so happens that I have a villa that I was planning to give to her. As for you, you can stay alone in Yunhai Huafu and keep to yourself!"
Before Huo Sili could say anything, Old Mrs. Huo stared at him with wide eyes and raised her voice.
"Huh? You're not happy? Then keep it to yourself!!"
Horstley: "..."
While the old lady was saying the first few sentences, Jiang Qin, who had actually been awake for a while in the hospital bed, was fully awake.
Hearing those words, Jiang Qin's heart, which had been somewhat hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Thankfully, the surgery wasn't in vain, Jiang Qin thought. Otherwise, she would have had to resort to the worst possible solution.
