1658 Unwell Inside
Huo Jinfeng went quiet for half a minute before he raised his hand and got up from the couch. “No, I’ll go see him.”
“But…” Huo Changfeng felt that the man probably came with other intentions in mind. However, the moment he made eye contact with Huo Jinfeng, he swallowed his words. “Okay then.”
He knew this issue meant a lot to Master Jinfeng. Even if Mr. Fan deliberately brought this up to get Master Jinfeng’s attention, his master would still probably agree to see him.
“Uh huh.” Huo Jinfeng glanced at his niece outside the French windows and said, “Why don’t you chat with her first? I’ll be back in a minute.”
He looked at the butler and said, “Take him next door.”
The butler hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Master Jinfeng.”
By the time Huo Yao got back to the living room, Huo Jinfeng had just disappeared to the room next door.
Huo Yao glanced briefly before veering her eyes.
“Miss Huo, why don’t you let me show you around first? Your eldest uncle had to step away for a minute, but he’ll be back soon.” Huo Changfeng reached his hand and pointed upstairs.
“Sure.” Huo Yao smiled and nodded as she followed behind Huo Changfeng.
They went upstairs unhurriedly.
Huo Yao placed her hand in her pocket and rubbed her phone gently as she thought about the clan leader. She raised her head and looked at Huo Changfeng walking in front of her and said, “Uncle Changfeng, I passed you some meds for my eldest uncle previously. Did he take them?”
Huo Changfeng slowed down. He did not expect her to suddenly ask this question. He paused and said, “I suppose he did. Then again, the butler usually takes care of Master Jinfeng’s daily needs. I can check on him later.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao softly.
“Why are you asking, Miss Huo? Is something wrong with Master Jinfeng?” Huo Changfeng knew Huo Yao was an excellent doctor, so he felt she would not have brought this up for no reason.
Huo Yao nodded and replied candidly. “Yes, there is.”
Huo Changfeng promptly got worried. He looked at Huo Yao and asked in a deep voice. “Is it serious?”
Huo Yao knew that Huo Changfeng was worried. He paused and said, “I will only know more after taking his pulse.”
Even though she had an inkling of Huo Jinfeng’s health condition, she could not say more without confirming it.
Huo Changfeng went quiet briefly and said, “To be honest, Master Jinfeng’s health has improved a lot in the past couple of years.”
Ever since Miss Tong disappeared, other than attending to his family responsibilities, he became quiet and depressed.
When Miss Huo reunited with the family two years ago, Master Jinfeng inadvertently saw her appearing on a live telecast program with Young Master Xiang. He seemed to take an interest in her ever since.
Miss Huo gave him some medicine and Master Jinfeng was very receptive to taking them. After he took the medication, his physical condition did improve a lot. During the past two years, even though he never went back home to see her, he quietly kept an eye on her.
Master Jinfeng was not good at expressing his feelings. Even if he liked his niece, he did not show it outside.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes as she looked up at the balcony at the end of the corridor. “Sometimes, things only seem normal on the surface.”
An apple might look fine on the outside, but sometimes, they were rotten inside.
Huo Changfeng parted his lips and did not know how to respond.
Huo Yao veered her eyes and blinked at Huo Changfeng. “Don’t worry, Uncle Changfeng. I’m here for him.”
Her eldest uncle was still young. Even if he had physical problems, it was not enough to cause sudden death or anything fatal.
