Chapter 183 I Am Able to Remain True to One's Original Aspiration
"I'm coming right now." I put down my phone. "Something happened with Huo Yubai. I'm going to check on him."
Shen Xingyuan frowned: "I'll go with you?"
“Liang Hui is here,” I said. “You can take care of my mother.”
Shen Xingyuan paused, then smiled and said, "Okay."
"Don't overthink it, and don't let your imagination run wild," I said seriously.
He remained calm and said, "I know."
I snorted and walked out of the villa.
Liang Hui drove me there.
As soon as they entered the villa, they heard He Ya's heart-wrenching screams: "You killed your brother! You made me a monster! You deserve to die! Why don't you just die!"
I walked over.
Blood was flowing from Huo Yubai's forehead, and his pale, handsome face looked utterly broken.
"Someone, take your CEO downstairs and stop the bleeding." I frowned. "What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"
The villa's servants immediately sprang into action.
Huo Yubai looked at me, his pale face indifferent: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"Why are you apologizing? Didn't I promise to treat your mother's illness?" I said, "Huo Changzhou didn't tell me the truth before, which caused my treatment to be slow. Now that I know the cause of her illness, everything will be much easier."
"What are you trying to do!" He Ya's face twisted in rage. "You're the one who abuses me every day! You're the one trying to kill me!"
"He Ya, if you keep causing trouble, I really won't be polite to you." I walked over step by step.
He Ya was extremely agitated: "Huo Yubai, what are you standing there for? Chase her away! I'm being bullied now, and you just stand by and watch! You unfilial son! How can you compare to Yu Shen? Yu Shen is the good boy. You're just a troublemaker! You're such a jinx!"
I frowned deeply.
Even though they were all her own children, He Ya cursed them so horribly.
It was only because Huo Yushen received the Huo family's attention that Huo Yubai did not.
“Go ahead and curse.” I said with a stern face. “The more you curse him, the more I will abuse you. If you don’t believe me, just ask him. He’s the one who listens to me the most.”
He Ya couldn't believe it: "Huo Yubai, how could you be so heartless as to hand me over to her? Are you still my son? Why didn't I strangle you back then? You didn't care about me at all. You're no match for Yu Shen. You've been bewitched by this vixen to the point that you don't even recognize your own mother!"
Huo Yubai's expression darkened: "When did you ever acknowledge me as your son?"
He Ya was taken aback.
Taking advantage of her inattention, Liang Hui attacked He Ya from behind.
He knocked He Ya unconscious, then picked her up and placed her on the sofa.
Immediately afterwards, I opened the small medicine box in my hand, took out silver needles, and inserted a few needles into He Ya's head.
“Acupuncture can only temporarily control her condition; it will take a very long time to cure her completely. But as long as you cooperate with me, I will cure her.” I looked at Huo Yubai: “I want to ask you, do you want to send her back to the sanatorium, or are you planning to keep her at home?”
"At home." Huo Yubai's eyes were deep. "I don't want her to go back to that place."
Regardless, the woman in front of him was his birth mother, and he had no choice but to care.
I could roughly guess Huo Yubai's thoughts: "Okay, then we'll treat her at your home. Her room shouldn't have too many things. I'll give you a list in a bit, and you can buy whatever's on it."
"Okay." He nodded.
I looked up at his bandaged forehead: "Does it hurt?"
Seeing my concern, he leaned closer and asked, "Yes, I do need to take some medicine."
I avoided his gaze: "Eat it if you experience dizziness."
"I feel a little dizzy," he said, frowning.
I took out some medicine from the medicine box: "Take one pill to relieve the symptoms. If it's still serious, go to the hospital."
"Aren't you a doctor?" he asked, looking at me with a wronged expression.
"How can a doctor with a crippled hand treat two patients?" I frowned. "Of course, I'll prioritize the more serious one."
"So I'm not the main one?" he muttered under his breath as he took the medicine.
I sneered: "In your heart, who is more important, you or yourself?"
He looked at me calmly and said, "You are the most important."
I rolled my eyes at him: "Huo Yubai, I haven't forgiven you."
“I know.” He suddenly became anxious: “I’m not trying to take advantage of you, nor am I trying to trick you. I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, you will always come first.”
I snorted.
Ignore him.
I turned around and said, "Get me some paper and pen, and I'll give you the list."
“Your hand isn’t very convenient, but you type quickly. Write it on your phone and then send it to me.” Huo Yubai looked at me cautiously.
I sneered, "You want me to add you back as a friend?"
He nodded.
"Dream on." I took out my phone. "I'll send it to Uncle Huo Fei."
Huo Yubai: "..."
After writing the list, I sent it to Huo Fei.
After receiving the message, Huo Fei looked at Huo Yubai.
"Go prepare." Huo Yubai said coldly, "Hurry up."
"I'll go right now!" Huo Fei picked up his phone and started making a call.
I looked at Huo Yubai: "When did your mother start acting like this?"
“She’s been like this since I can remember,” Huo Yubai replied.
"When Huo Changzhou told me that she was provoked, did your mother's relatives have similar experiences?" I asked again.
He joked, "If I still had contact with my relatives over there, the Huo family wouldn't have just dumped me on Huo Fei back then. Even now, if they come looking for me, I won't see them."
"Could you investigate this? That way I can analyze the cause of your mother's illness," I said.
"Okay." Huo Yubai nodded. "I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"If it's hereditary, don't get your hopes up too high," I said, offering a heads-up beforehand. "If it's acquired, I'll do my best."
Huo Yubai said solemnly, "Actually, I just hope she can be more clear-headed. When she is clear-headed, she is not like this."
"Okay." I hesitated for a moment: "What is your mother like when she is lucid?"
Huo Yubai frowned: "Actually, I can't remember clearly either. She was pretty normal when she was young. Even when she scolded people, she was very gentle."
I:"……"
“What else do you want to know?” he asked.
"What's your impression of Huo Yushen?" I took a deep breath. "Is it just the way you've portrayed him to me?"
He was stunned: "Actually, we don't have much interaction. Only the Huo family knows what kind of person he is."
"So the so-called Huo Yushen is a persona you created yourself?" I was a little annoyed.
"I..." Huo Yubai said guiltily, "I was just imitating the type of person you like. No, I tried very hard to become like that."
"Really? We didn't know each other much back then. How could you know what type of girl I like?" I scoffed.
"You like Gu Heng, isn't it because he's gentle and considerate?" He looked at me quietly. "I can do that too, even better and more thoughtfully than him, and I can be faithful to him from beginning to end."
