Chapter 105 Specially Came to Take Care of Huo Yubai
"Uncle Huo Fei?" I asked in surprise.
Why is he here?
Huo Fei looked at me and exclaimed in surprise, "Shen Yan, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take care of some things. What's up with you?" I walked over.
"I came here with Yu Bai. He fell ill as soon as we arrived. The doctors here aren't very good, and I'm wondering if we should send him back." Huo Fei said anxiously.
Is Huo Yubai here?
Will he come with me?
"I'll go take a look," I said.
He is in poor health and cannot take medicine indiscriminately.
"Okay." Huo Fei led me there.
I asked Liang Hui to take my luggage back to my room.
This hotel is the only four-star hotel in Grenfell.
Huo Yubai booked two floors.
He lay in bed, wrapped in a thick blanket, but he kept shivering.
I touched his forehead.
It's burning badly.
"Uncle Huo Fei, help me take off his clothes. We need to cool him down physically first," I urged.
"Okay!" Huo Fei stepped forward to help.
I asked someone else to get the alcohol and fever-reducing patches.
Then, I took out a small pillbox from my bag, which contained emergency medicine that I had made myself.
I found the fever reducer and walked over, only to be stunned once again by the scene before me.
I had seen Huo Yubai's upper body before. His front and back were covered in scars, which were grotesque and looked like he had been tortured. I never expected that even his legs were scarred, especially his knees.
How could this be?
Huo Fei glanced at me and said quietly, "Shen Yan, if you're scared, then don't watch."
“It’s alright,” I said. “Pry his mouth open.”
Huo Fei did as instructed.
I put the pill in his mouth, gave him some water, and he swallowed it.
Then I used alcohol to wipe Huo Yubai's neck, armpits, thighs, ankles and other areas to cool him down.
After I finished, I was covered in sweat.
Fortunately, Huo Yubai's temperature dropped a bit.
From 39 degrees to 37 degrees.
I covered him with a blanket.
"Shen Yan, you must be tired. Go back to your room and rest," Huo Fei said. "I'll take care of things here."
"He might have a fever again in the middle of the night. I'll stay here and watch over him. Have the kitchen prepare some food; he might be hungry when he wakes up," I instructed.
"Okay." Huo Fei went out.
Only Huo Yubai and I remained in the room.
"Shen Yan, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." he murmured repeatedly.
He was apologizing to me in my dream?
I sat down and looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, feeling a mix of emotions.
"Yan Yan, don't go..." Tears streamed down his face.
I was somewhat shocked.
After a while, he calmed down.
Mu Xi knew I wasn't asleep, so she sent me a message asking how I was doing.
I briefly explained the situation.
Mu Xi: Do you think Huo Yubai went to find you because he was worried about you?
Me: Uncle Huo Fei said they were here to handle some matters, and he arrived even earlier than me.
Mu Xi: People who take private jets are definitely faster than you.
I:……
Mu Xi asked curiously: Yan Yan, will you forgive him?
I thought about it: I don't know, but I don't seem to be that angry.
Mu Xi: Would you accept him?
I won't.
Mu Xi: Why?
Me: Because I can't fall in love with two brothers.
Mu Xi: You and Huo Yushen have nothing going on, and he even abandoned you. But Huo Yubai is different. He only thinks about you and doesn't care. Why should you care?
I remained silent.
Mu Xi: I'm not forcing you to marry him. I just feel that he's really good to you. As the saying goes, love me, love my dog. He's helped me a lot in getting to where I am today in Xinjing City. I know he's not doing it because we're alumni, but because of you.
I watched as Huo Yubai fell into deep thought.
He was fast asleep, but his cheeks were still pale, and he looked sickly and pitiful, like a big dog that had been abandoned.
-
I don't know when I fell asleep.
In my half-asleep state, I felt someone gently stroking my head, one stroke at a time, in an extremely tender way.
I sat up abruptly and saw Huo Yubai half-lying on the bed, his hand still hanging in mid-air.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "You're awake."
I nodded: "Has your fever gone down?"
"Hmm, much better." He looked at me. "What are you doing here?"
"I have something to do." I didn't want to explain.
He didn't ask, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing." I picked up the small pillbox from the bedside table. "Take some more medicine."
He took the pill, put it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it without even drinking water.
"Are you hungry?" I asked. "Uncle Huo Fei prepared some porridge for you and has been keeping it in a thermos."
"Okay." He looked at me, his eyes a little moist.
I got up and served him a bowl of porridge.
He wanted to eat by himself, but his hands kept shaking.
I fed him myself.
He ate it bite by bite, and soon finished the bowl of porridge.
"Looks like this porridge is pretty good, you ate it all." I teased, "You used to complain about Auntie's cooking."
He pursed his lips: "Because you fed me."
I laughed angrily: "Then next time I'll feed you poison, will you eat it?"
"Eat," he answered without hesitation.
Love brain!
"Now that you're awake, I'm relieved. I'm going back to my room to rest." I said, yawning.
"Shen Yan." He took my hand.
I frowned slightly.
His fingertips were cold.
The temperature in the room is so comfortable.
He thought I was offended and immediately let go: "I didn't mean to."
“I know, what do you want to say?” I asked.
"I'm sorry." He looked at me very seriously. "Please forgive me. If you're still angry, you can hit me or yell at me."
I said speechlessly, "If I really cared, I wouldn't have taken care of you for one night."
His deep eyes reflected my indifferent and aloof expression.
“Let’s pretend nothing happened, Huo Yubai.” I looked at him. “Don’t mention it to anyone, don’t mention anything at all.”
“Okay.” His voice was very low and hoarse. “I’ll pretend nothing happened.”
"Okay, get some rest." I turned and left.
Huo Yubai breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became even more melancholy.
I went back to my room, took a hot shower, and changed into clean clothes.
After taking a nap, Liang Hui brought the autopsy report when he woke up.
"It's been verified. One of the five bodies is indeed Min Xiu's. Mo Lei is on his way," Liang Hui replied.
"When he arrives, let me see him." I put down the photocopy of the autopsy report.
Liang Hui nodded: "It's snowing heavily, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave tomorrow."
"Then let's wait another day," I said. "I have time anyway."
"Okay." Liang Hui left.
That evening, Liang Hui told me that Mo Lei had arrived.
Because it was too late, he didn't go to the police station and instead checked into the hotel.
"Where is he now?" I asked.
“In President Huo’s room.” Liang Hui paused. “Mo Lei brought a woman, saying she was there specifically to take care of Huo Yubai.”
