What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

66

Faced with Huo Xiaozheng's questioning, Huo Guining lowered her head.

It wasn't enough, of course it wasn't enough.

That's why she chose to take the medication.

She raised her head and began to explain in a soft voice.

"After the kidnapping, during the time my brother and I were in the hospital, I once had an allergic reaction to a medication, which caused some rashes on my body."

"The nurse gave me antihistamines."

"That day, although my head was fuzzy and I eventually fell asleep, the pain in my chest did indeed go away."

"For the next few days, when the doctor made his rounds in the morning and asked if I was itchy, I always said the rashes hadn't healed and were still itchy."

Huo Xiaozheng's fingers curled slightly, his body tense, but he didn't interrupt her.

"I overheard the name of the medication when the doctor was instructing his student to prescribe it for me."

"It was the same kind that Li... had given me before."

"He had told me that this medication could also be taken for colds, that it was available at pharmacies, and that it wouldn't kill you."

"So..."

At this point, Huo Guining stole a glance at Huo Xiaozheng. Seeing that his expression seemed to have softened a bit, she gathered her courage and continued:

"So after I was discharged, I pretended to have a cold and asked Aunt Xu to buy it for me..."

Huo Xiaozheng coldly interrupted: "You really have some nerve!"

Huo Guining's face showed a moment of surprise, and she lowered her head again.

Huo Xiaozheng took a deep breath and closed his eyes briefly.

She had nearly died in the wilderness because of this medication.

Huo Guining mumbled: "I checked the instructions, the dosage I took shouldn't have had a big impact on my body..."

Her voice became so low towards the end that it was almost inaudible.

Huo Xiaozheng was burning with anger. Unable to bear it any longer, he abruptly stood up and walked out of the hospital room.

Huo Guining stared blankly at his retreating figure, knowing she was in the wrong, not daring to follow.

Although she had expected Huo Xiaozheng to be angry, she thought his relief would outweigh his anger.

After all, that's how her father had been in her previous life.

Huo Guining's guilt was mixed with a hint of confusion.

In her previous life, when she was diagnosed with cancer, it wasn't her who was knocked down first, but her mother.

Her mother had always been frail, and after hearing the news, she quickly broke down.

Both of them ended up in the hospital.

Her father, stretched thin and unable to inform the elderly grandparents on both sides of the family, weighed his options and hired a 24-hour caregiver for Huo Guining during her hospital stay.

He himself stayed by her mother's side.

Huo Guining expressed understanding, after all, she didn't want to see her mother suffering either.

Later, when her mother gradually accepted the fact of Huo Guining's illness, she wanted to dismiss the caregiver and try her best to stay by Huo Guining's side.
