What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

90

Huo Yueze's question seemed to fall into a void, with no response.

Huo Jing's pupils contracted. "Shen Shiyan, what do you mean by not saying anything?"

Shen Shiyan shook his head helplessly. "Jingjing, I can't answer that question."

Huo Jing turned to look at Xie Lingluo, her gaze sharp and intimidating.

But it was useless.

Huo Jing's heart suddenly sank.

After Xie Lingluo left, Huo Yueze curled up in Shen Shiyan's office, his face buried in a pillow, shoulders shaking.

Huo Jing patted his back. "Why are you crying? Are you mourning? Ningning is still alive. As a man, are you not as strong as Ningning?"

Huo Yueze suddenly raised his head, shouting through his tears, "If Ningning had been with our family since birth, how could this have happened to her!"

"And you, Aunt, you were so fake towards Ningning at first. If you had loved her even a little more, she wouldn't be in a coma now."

"And Grandpa, Grandpa wasn't good to Ningning either!"

"Only I... waaah... but I couldn't protect my sister either... waaah..."

"The Huo family didn't protect her either, and she was kidnapped. Who knows if she was traumatized and just didn't tell us."

"She could only cope on her own... waaah... adults are so terrible... waaah..."

Seeing him becoming more and more outrageous, Huo Jing suppressed her discomfort and gave him a slap on the back of his head.

"Stop crying! Instead of wailing here, why don't you go talk to your sister!"

This reminded Huo Yueze. He immediately stopped crying and hastily wiped his face.

"Aunt, you're right. I should talk to Ningning more. This way, she won't want to leave me!"

With that, he rushed out of the office.

Shen Shiyan couldn't help but give Huo Jing a thumbs up. "As expected of you. Aze's crying almost... blew... off... my... skull..."

Before he could finish, he saw the usually elegant and aloof Huo Jing's eyes turn red, tears welling up in her almond-shaped eyes.

Cursing while crying, she said, "Damn it, Aze's accusations were spot on."

Shen Shiyan: ... He couldn't tell if she needed comfort or not.

...

During this time, the Huo family members took turns looking after Huo Guining.

Huo Xiaozheng simply moved into the hospital room.

In just a week, Huo Xiaozheng seemed to have aged several years.

Stubble had grown on his chin, but Huo Xiaozheng paid no attention to it.

Following the doctor's instructions, he turned Ningning over and wiped her back every day.

Shen Shiyan suggested he leave this task to the nurses, but Huo Xiaozheng ignored him, stubbornly insisting on doing it himself.

It was as if doing this could slightly alleviate his guilt.

Xie Lingluo intermittently conducted two more hypnosis sessions.

But perhaps due to the near-exposure the first time, Huo Guining's vigilance had clearly increased.

Even in her dreams, she no longer spoke freely.
