âWhere did Miss Song go yesterday? Has the wound been disinfected? Itâll be bad if it gets infected.â
Almost every time Liu Yu asked, Huo Tianâs eyelids would twitch.
But she didnât need to answer because Liu Yuâs question was answered very quickly. He saw a few shards of porcelain stained with blood that were thrown on the table.
âThe case has been solved,â Liu Yu said.
He sighed. âMr. Huo just left and Miss Song was injured. Wouldnât Mr. Huo be heartbroken if he knew?â
The person lying on the bed was Huo Yunqueâs everything.
Huo Tian pursed her lips. She knew that Liu Yu was telling the truth.
She wanted to hide something for Huo Ningxi, so she whispered, âDr. Liu, is the situation serious? Quickly help SongâUh, my auntie treat it.â
Liu Yu looked at her guilty face and glanced at her. âDid you cause this?â
âIâ¦â Huo Tianâs heart skipped a beat. âHow is that possible! Donât accuse a good person!â
Last time, her uncle wanted to fry her in oil because of Song Yaoyaoâs sake. If he accused her again, she would at least lose a layer of skin.
âI hope so. Children should not lie.â
Liu Yu chuckled. He looked casual, but his eyes swept secretly over Huo Tianâs body.
The wounds were not serious. They were all superficial wounds, but there was a lot of blood. Moreover, Song Yaoyaoâs skin was white, so the wounds looked shocking on her.
Liu Yu quickly treated it. He was worried that Song Yaoyao had other injuries, so he stood up and ordered help from a maid.
âGet someone to scrub Miss Song and help her change into a clean set of clothes. Also, check if there are any other injuries on her body.â
Huo Tian volunteered and raised her hand. âIâll do it.â
After saying this, she regretted it. Song Yaoyaoâs skin was soft and tender, and she was extremely delicate. Wasnât she asking for trouble?
Liu Yu glanced at her when he heard this. âIf you want to do it, you can do it. Iâll go out first.â
Huo Tian had no choice but to brace herself and go over to examine Song Yaoyao.
She was very careful, as if Song Yaoyao was some fragile object.
By the time she changed Song Yaoyaoâs clothes, she was already sweating all over from the heat. After waiting for Song Yaoyao to lie down, she exhaled and wiped her forehead.
âItâs fine, itâs fine. Itâs just an injury on my arm.â
She suddenly paused.
Her gaze landed on Song Yaoyaoâs bruised forehead, and her eyelids twitched.
This place could not be hiddenâ¦
Oh no, oh no, Uncle will definitely be angry when he comes back!
Song Yaoyao was still sleeping, while her mind was in a mess. One moment, she was thinking about Song Yaoyao lying on the bed looking weak and pitiful, and the next moment, it was Huo Ningxiâs crazed and desperate look from last night.
She should be mine!
Boomâ
Huo Tian suddenly snapped out of her daze and ran out of the room without looking back.
Liu Yu was standing outside with his arms crossed. Other than him, Uncle Zhang, Huo Sihuo, and Huo Jiu were also waiting. Liu Yu was also unlike his usual self. He did not have a cheeky smile on his face.
âNo other injuries?â
Huo Tian let out a soft grunt of agreement while she lowered her eyes to hide the complicated expression in her eyes.
âAlright, Iâll go back and play some games. Iâll come back in two hours. If thereâs anything, Uncle Zhang, remember to let me know.â
Liu Yu quickly left.
Uncle Zhang was a shrewd person. He could see Huo Tianâs uneasiness and guilt at a glance, butâ¦
He did not think that Huo Tian had the guts to make a move on Song Yaoyao. Moreover, Song Yaoyao was not the type to be bullied.
He sent Liu Yu out, still regretting it in his heart.
In the future, he wouldnât let all the servants go to the back at night. He had to leave someone to watch over them.
Miss Song was such a good girl, but now she was sick and lying on the bed listlessly. How pitiful was that?
As soon as Uncle Zhang left, the others followed.
At that moment, a tall and thin figure suddenly paused when he passed by Huo Tian.
A cold, amused voice came from above her head, âMiss Huo.â
âHuh?â Huo Tian looked up in a daze and met a pair of cold, dark eyes.
Through a pair of glasses, the young manâs eyes were very dark. There was a smile at the corner of his lips, but it looked forced and cold.
The sensitive Huo Tian felt the hair on her back stand on end as she trembled.
âWh-what do you want?â Her throat tightened as she suppressed the fear in her heart.
Anyone who had served her uncle before could give off a strong sense of oppression and make oneâs scalp tingle.
âNothing.â
Huo Jiu chuckled. He leaned over and looked down at Huo Tian. âMiss Huo, this has nothing to do with you, right?â
âOf course notââ Huo Tian immediately denied it.
It indeed had nothing to do with her. It was just that she saw what happened last night, had something on her mind, and wanted to cover for Huo Ningxi, that was why she looked so weird.
Other than Uncle Zhang and Huo Jiu, even the careless Liu Yu had noticed it.
He usually looked a little silly, but to get to his current position, how could he be absolutely innocent?
âThatâs good.â
Huo Jiu nodded and slowly stood up. He said apologetically, âIâm sorry, did I scare you?â
âN-noâ¦â
He was too scary.
The people around her uncle were all devils!
âThatâs good. I still have to go to the punishment hall with Huo Si, so I wonât talk to you anymore.â
After saying this, Huo Jiu nodded and walked downstairs.
Huo Tian was dumbstruck as she stared at the back of the tall figure that was as straight as bamboo.
âThe punishment hall?â What did they do wrong?
âSince we didnât take good care of Miss Song, itâs natural for us to be punished.â
Huo Jiuâs voice gradually faded away, but Huo Tianâs feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. After a long while, it was as if a basin of water mixed with ice was poured over her head. She trembled, feeling as if she had been hit by an invisible ice cube.
Huo Si and Huo Jiu were not there last night. This was an accident, and no one wanted it.
But who would have thought that the rules of the old manor would be so strict to such an extent.
That if the Master was injured, regardless of whether it was related to the bodyguards or not, they would be punished.
Huo Tian, who had grown up abroad, felt that it was ridiculous.
â¦
Moreover, she could not help but have doubts about herself. Could she really cover for Huo Ningxi?
âHow is she?â
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind her, giving Huo Tian a fright.
She took a few steps back and turned her head, feeling even more dizzy.
âBrother Ningxi?â
The young man in front of her changed his clothes, but he looked as if he had not slept for the whole night. His face was haggard, his lips were pale, and his eyes were filled with a deathly stillness.
Huo Tian pursed her lips. Her instincts told her that she should not meddle in other peopleâs business. This was between Huo Ningxi and Song Yaoyao, and she was not an insider, so she had no right to interfere.
However, among the younger generation, she had a pretty good relationship with Huo Ningxi. Seeing him lose his soul like this, her heart ached.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShe⦠has a high fever.â
Huo Ningxiâs pupils constricted when she said this. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the tightly shut door.
