Thinking of how her father and mother were both opposed, she guessed her aunt probably felt the sa way, right?
Wen Nuan looked at Che Huan with concern and fell silent.
It was only after hearing Che Huan’s words that Wen Ru felt sowhat relieved. "Nuannuan, there are so things I’ll explain to you in a few days. Maybe after my body has recovered, I will leave Li City."
Leave Li City?
Che Huan was stunned for a long ti before realizing her stepfather hadn’t co today. Since she and her uncle arrived, it seed he had only visited that one ti, which was clearly unusual!
Wen Ru didn’t say anything further.
Che Huan glanced in the direction of Wen Hua and Bi Fu. Were they going to return to Hong Kong?
Thinking that her mother’s legs had suffered comminuted fractures and that recovery would take a very long ti, she guessed they would have to stay in Li City for quite a while.
Biting her lip, she looked towards Wen Hua and Bi Fu. "Uncle, Auntie, you’ve been here for several days too, right? You have work to do, why don’t you go back to Hong Kong first? I can take care of my mom here by myself."
Wen Hua wasn’t entirely at ease, especially since Gu Jizhou had co to Li City. "I’ve taken off half a month from work, let’s talk about it in a few days."
He was considering transferring Wen Ru to a hospital in Hong Kong, where dical facilities were better, but he was also worried—
He had been thinking about this matter these past few days and still hadn’t made up his mind.
————Yunqi Academy————
In the evening, as soon as Che Huan entered the guest room and saw Huo Jinnan sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his long legs, not knowing what he was looking at, her movents upon entering froze.
Glancing up at Che Huan, Huo Jinnan placed the laptop aside. "How’s your aunt doing?"
Che Huan shook her head and sat at the edge of the bed. "Comminuted fractures, just that, it’s a matter of ti."
Huo Jinnan walked over, closed the door, and looked down at the toy poodle following Che Huan.
The toy poodle affectionately leaped at him, nipping at Huo Jinnan’s trouser leg.
Huo Jinnan shifted his gaze to Che Huan, walked over to her, "Have you eaten?"
Che Huan nodded her head.
Huo Jinnan lowered his eyes to Che Huan, just as he was about to lift his arm, his phone rang.
Glancing at it, it was Qin Shaojin. He answered, "Arrived?"
"Should be in Li City in another half an hour. My law firm’s number two, isn’t that impressive?"
Huo Jinnan grunted in acknowledgnt, hung up the phone, and looked at Che Huan. "An attorney from Qin Shaojin’s firm is coming to investigate the car accident. You’ll co with to et them in a while."
Che Huan raised her eyes to Huo Jinnan, eting his overly profound gaze, wanting to say sothing but not knowing what it was, feeling sothing uncontrollably growing in her heart!
Huo Jinnan’s eyes rested on her cheeks, his thumb lightly touching them. "Haven’t rested well these past few days, the swelling on your face hasn’t gone down?"
Che Huan thought about the previous night when he had slept beside her. How could she have rested well?
Huo Jinnan pinched Che Huan’s wrist, glancing at it, the bruising from the rope had turned from red to purple.
Che Huan just sat there, feeling the places on her skin he had touched on her face and wrist heat up quickly.
She blushed, looking in the direction of the toy poodle, only to realize at so point that it had disappeared!
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the underpants still hanging on the balcony—
Huo Jinnan glanced outside.
Che Huan withdrew her gaze, sitting there with her head lowered, her hands tightly twisted together, biting her lip.
Huo Jinnan lowered his gaze to her hands, gently unraveling them one by one.
Looking at the man’s lean, bony hands, her heart suddenly pounded like thunder. Che Huan brushed aside her bangs, "What... what about the child’s situation, any news?"
