Chapter 1828 A Gift For Eldest Uncle
Shangguan Tong had gone to see the man the other night and his condition was obviously improving.
How could it get worse?
Shangguan Tong"s mind went into chaos and kept buzzing.
On the car"s window, Shangguan Tong"s reflection could be seen and she looked miserable.
Huo Yao"s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she finally turned her head and said with a sad smile on her face, "Eldest Uncle has already lost the will to live. It"s normal for his condition to worsen."
The moment she finished her sentence, Shangguan Tong suddenly felt as though she was swimming in ice and could not help trembling.
Winter had pa.s.sed, but why did she feel like her body was freezing?
Shangguan Tong hugged herself and did her best to calm down.
Seeing this, Huo Yao did not continue with the subject.
An hour later, the car finally arrived at the hospital.
Huo Yao glanced outside and placed her hand on the door handle. She turned to look at Aunt Tong again and said softly, "Why don"t you go up as well? You might get to see him one last time if…"
Shangguan Tong looked up with her eyes teary. "Okay."
When Shangguan Tong agreed, Huo Yao could not help feeling impressed with herself.
Her acting skills were flawless. Eldest Uncle had given her a huge sum of money as a gift after she returned to the family. Now, she was making it worth the money for him, right?
However, she wondered if Eldest Uncle would be startled by the gift.
She was undoubtedly a good and sensible niece.
Shangguan Tong got out of the car in a daze and completely failed to notice the expression on Huo Yao"s face.
The three of them entered the hospital, took the lift, and went upstairs.
When the lift door opened, Xie raised his head standing nearby. The moment he saw Huo Yao, he quickly walked over. "Hi, Miss Huo."
Xie greeted her respectfully. When his gaze swept behind her, he noticed Shangguan Tong and felt a little surprised.
Huo Yao nodded and simply said, "I"m here to see Eldest Uncle."
Xie nodded. He did not ask further about Shangguan Tong"s ident.i.ty.
Since Miss Huo brought the lady here, she could probably be trusted.
Before long, they walked through the corridor and headed to Huo Jinfeng"s hospital ward.
At the hospital ward entrance, Huo Changfeng was still talking on the phone. When he heard footsteps, he turned. He was smiling when he caught sight of Huo Yao. However, the moment he saw Shangguan Tong standing beside her, his hands trembled and his phone nearly slipped to the ground.
Huo Changfeng snapped out of his daze. He disregarded the ongoing call he was taking and hung up immediately. He took a step forward with disbelief in his eyes. "M-Miss Tong?"
Shangguan Tong raised her head and responded in a hoa.r.s.e tone. "Changfeng, long time no see."
Huo Changfeng stood where he was. He had never experienced a series of high level shocks in one day.
First, Miss Huo performed outstandingly during the test for potential heirs. After that, Miss Tong appeared. Huo Changfeng pressed his heart feeling very emotional. "…You"re still alive."
All these years, Master Jinfeng never gave up looking for Miss Tong. Even after they found out she was dead, he refused to give up.
Owing to his persistence, he never married in his entire life… to this day.
"Uh huh. I"m still alive." Shangguan Tong wore a sad expression on her face. She did not explain and simply looked up at the hospital ward behind Huo Changfeng. "How"s Jinfeng"s condition?"
"Master Jinfeng…" Huo Changfeng parted his lips. When he made eye contact with Huo Yao, he finally knew what to say. "…Not good at all."
Shangguan Tong"s body swayed.
Huo Changfeng sighed and said, "Just go in and see for yourself."
Shangguan Tong suppressed the sour taste in her mouth and acknowledged hoa.r.s.ely.
Before long, she pushed open the door and entered.
