Chapter 290: 290
“Excuse me,” requested the nurse softly behind Lu Zhaoyang . She backed away as the nurse brought a set of needles . There was a sharp smell of rubbing alcohol before she watched the nurse giving her fainted mother an injection . “Thank you,” mumbled the nurse as she exited with the doctor . She decided to head for a walk and there she saw her man leaning against the wall . She almost forgot they were in public, that she nearly plunged herself into his embrace .
He pulled her close, “Do it . You need it . ”
“I’m fine . ” She turned and rested against the freezing wall with her head staying as low as her mood .
“The doctor just told us that even if my mother wakes up, she will never be as healthy as before . Not only that, she will never get pregnant again . ” She had no idea why she told the devil all this but her heart urged her to pour her feelings out to somebody trustworthy .
“Will she never wake up?” Tears knotted her nose .
“Don’t worry . She will wake up . I mean, it’s hard to get an easy life like this . She hasn’t had enough being the wife of a wealthy family . ” Huo Yunting was trying to comfort her but it seemed like his sarcasm was hardwired in his brain .
“Can I have a moment without your satire? As if things have not gotten worse!” She glared at him and walked away .
“Where are you going?” He reached out with his hand .
“To your father’s mansion . ” She planned to pack a few daily necessities for her mother .
“I’ll drive!”
“No . ”
On their way home, Lu Zhaoyang had hardly said a word on her seat . The same was with Huo Yunting who could feel the scratches from his fearsome wife just now . It was a chore to get her to the car . She insisted dialing for a Uber when she got a driver .
“Ridiculous,” muttered the man .

Once the car stopped by the mansion, she stormed into the house without even a ‘thank you’ .
The bloody sofa had been replaced and the old lady was nowhere to be found in the living room . Zhaoyang headed upstairs straight to pick a few clothes, all into a mini suitcase for her mother . She dragged the suitcase downstairs before she was stopped by her man who was smoking at the porch . It was the same mesmerizing sight she saw in his office months ago .
The same choking too, ugh .
She frowned thinking so .
“You should really cut on smoking . It’s unhealthy . ”
“Alright then . ” He then tossed the cigarette to the ground before stepping on it . He wanted to take the suitcase from her but she pushed him away, “I know what you’re thinking . You don’t have to send me back . We have our own driver . ”

“Well, you meant *I* have *my* own driver . You can go and have a try . See if any of *my* drivers listen to you . ” He snatched the suitcase away, “It’s just a few minutes drive away from the house . Do you have to carry this?” He brandished the suitcase, “People are going to think you’re heading for vacation . ”
“…” The girl was speechless and decided to give in .
It’s always better to get prepared for the worst .
Thought Zhaoyang in the car .
Huo Yunting dropped her at the hospital and sped away after that .
Huo Zhenning left the ward right after she came . There were a lot of unsettled business at the company .

She sat down and looked at her mother sympathetically as her hand reached for her mother’s pale fingers in the blanket . Her mother’s eyes remained closed and her face remained cold . Nothing had changed .
It would be New Year’s Eve tomorrow—Nobody in the family ever imagined they would spend their New Year’s Eve like this .
Huo Zhenning came later that night but it was only a brief visit before he walked out of the ward, sighing .
Lu Zhaoyang felt her heart wrenched seeing her mother remaining still in the bed the second morning . Huo Zhenning soon came after breakfast but he just sat across the sofa in the private ward, reading his newspaper .
In the midst of silence, a knock on the door rang .
“Come in,” responded Huo Zhenning behind the newspaper .
It was the doctor with a stack of reports in his hand, “Mr . Huo, the results are in . ”
Zhaoyang lifted her head and looked into the doctor’s eyes .
