Daddy Always Gets Jealous

”**Huo Jinxue.**”

Hearing her second brother’s voice, Huo Jinxue suddenly snapped to awareness, and seeing the shirt she had crumpled beyond recognition, her shoulders shook thrice, and she quickly stood up straight, quietly stepping back, ”Second Brother, why didn’t I see Second Sister-in-law today?”

”She had some things to do and went out for a while,”

Huo Jinnan said casually, looking down at the shirt with an even tighter furrow between his brows.

Not daring to look at Huo Jinnan’s expression, Huo Jinxue quickly pointed at the surgery room door, ”Just now, Shen Mubai came out and said the surgery was very successful. Mom is still in the recovery room, they are observing her vital signs for a while, and she’ll be out once she stabilizes.”

Huo Jinnan remained silent, glancing at the firmly shut door of the surgery room.

Less than half an hour later, the nurse wheeled Zhong Qin out, with an IV bag still hanging on the pushcart.

Huo Jinnan and Huo Jinbei walked over, took hold of the cart, pushed Zhong Qin into the elevator, back to the ward, and moved her onto the hospital bed.

Zhong Qin lay on the bed, the effects of the anesthesia not yet fully worn off, still not completely awake, drifting in and out of sleep, with little to no consciousness.

Nurses bustled about her side.

Huo Jinnan watched for a while, then turned around, his gaze falling on Shen Mubai who had followed them in.

Shen Mubai looked at Huo Jinnan, ”There’s a critical period, but once it’s past, things should improve.”

Huo Jinnan grunted in acknowledgment, bent over to look at Zhong Qin’s haggard face, raised his hand, gently squeezed her arm, and then let go, making sure she was well covered with the blanket.

He had just straightened up when the little one arrived.

Upon entering, the kid immediately lightened his footsteps, tiptoeing to the bedside, glanced at Zhong Qin, then looked up at Huo Jinnan, ”Is Grandma better now?”

Huo Jinnan nodded, looking down at the little one, his mind turning to Che Huan.

These past few days, had she made up her mind to leave?

Was he really not trustworthy? Was she so certain he would, for the sake of his mother, give up on her? Did she really think he couldn’t handle this issue properly?

Seeing Huo Jinnan’s face tighten, the little one bit his lip, ”Where’s Huanhuan? Why isn’t she here? Didn’t she come to the hospital?”

Huo Jinnan remained silent.

The little one pouted in annoyance. Really, he asked but got no reply—what kind of person was that!

He turned to look at Huo Jinxue, ”Little Aunt, where is Huanhuan?”

Huo Jinxue harbored a huge question mark in her heart, Second Sister-in-law clearly said she was just going back to her uncle’s house to get some things, but she never returned to the hospital after leaving—could something have happened?

Normally at this time, Second Sister-in-law would be at the hospital accompanying Second Brother!

”Little Aunt!”

Snapped out of her thoughts by the little one’s voice, Huo Jinxue replied, ”She went to your maternal great-uncle’s house.”

”Oh!”

The little one pursed his lips, took out his small phone, and called Che Huan, wanting to tell her Grandma was doing well, but upon dialing, he heard a voice prompt that the phone was turned off!

Why was it turned off?

He looked up at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan looked down, studying the little one for a while, ”Have you seen her today?”

The little one nodded, his voice small and embarrassed, ”Uncle Lu said Huanhuan came over in the morning when I was still not fully awake.”

Huo Jinnan’s eyes darkened a shade, he remained silent and left the ward.

The little one muttered ”incomprehensible” and realized he didn’t have the number of his little aunt, nor did he have his great-uncle and great-aunt’s!

He ran to Wen Ru’s ward, joyfully exclaiming, ”Grandma, my Grandma’s surgery was a big success.”

Wen Ru, relieved, responded, so the matter had been resolved—had they already received the heart?

Hearing the little one ask for Nuannuan’s family’s phone number, she snapped out of her thoughts. At this time, Huanhuan should have left Hong Kong, right?
