Chapter 3654 - Birthday Banquet 24
My Youth Began With Him-Webnovel
Huo Mian opened the package carefully.
It was a piece of clothingâ¦
More accurately, it was a wedding dressâ¦
It lied there quietly, a bundle of whiteâ¦
The suffocating feeling became more and more intenseâ¦
Her intuition told her to throw it away, to pretend that sheâd never received the gift⦠but her curiosity told her to unfold the mystery.
Licking her parched lips, Huo Mian lifted up the white dress in one go, with one hand.
Her heart stoppedâ¦
It wasâ¦
It really was⦠the wedding dress Huo Siqian forced her to wear during their bizarre wedding at the cliff.
Because Huo Siqian had designed it as a young boy⦠the wedding dress was especially meaningful to him.
Receiving the dress⦠on a day like this⦠what did it mean?
Could it be? Huo Siqian⦠was back?
Huo Mianâs heart shook at the thoughtâ¦
She wasnât afraid of Huo Siqian; she was afraid of what Huo Siqian had turned into.
She was afraid that heâd been overtaken by Jack.
Looking closer, sure enough, there was blood at the heart of the dressâ¦
Although it wasnât noticeable, as a doctor, Huo Mian still couldnât miss it.
It was as if the drop of blood had been placed deliberatelyâ¦
Huo Mian immediately threw the wedding dress onto the ground, the memories of Huo Siqian and her imprisonment on his island flooding her mind.
Although it was mid-day, Huo Mian couldnât help but shiver from the intense bouts of chills she felt.
âJie, Jie!â
Huo Mian panicked; she called out Chen Jieâs name like her life depended on it.
âSister Mian, whatâs wrong?â
At the sound of Huo Mianâs cries, Chen Jie immediately entered the room.
She didnât even have the time to mind her manners; instead, she directly called Huo Mian âSister Mianâ.
âJie, hurry⦠throw this thing away. Throw it away as far as possible. No, actually, burn it. Hurry up and burn it.â
âMian, whose is it? Why are we burning it?â
Although medical professions were not usually superstitious, it was common knowledge that family members burned their deceased loved oneâs clothes as a tradition.
This was why Chen Jie found it strange that Huo Mian wanted to burn clothesâ¦
âThen throw it away. Throw it far away.â Huo Mian emphasized.
âSister Mian, are you alright? Whatâs wrong with this dress? Whatâs happening?â
Chen Jie didnât know what was going on.
âA psycho sent it⦠itâs okay.â
Huo Mian placed her hands on her chest, still nervous.
âOkay, Iâll take it away. Donât be scared. Iâm right outside. Call me if you need anything.â
âAlright.â
Huo Mian finally managed to calm down a little bit after Chen Jie took the wedding dress away.
Just as she sat down in her chair, the office phone began to ring.
For whatever reason, Huo Mian felt that the call was too much of a coincidence.
After a long while of ringing, she finally picked up the phoneâ¦
âVice Director of South Side, Huo Mian speaking.â Huo Mian tried her hardest to calm down.
âHappy birthday to you!â
âHappy birthday to you!â
A manâs voice sounded from the phone. His voice was strange⦠it was as if he had something stuck in his throatâ¦
âWho is this?â
Huo Mianâs birthday was public knowledge. Even many fans on Weibo remembered her birthday, so it wasnât exactly strange.
âLittle Sister Mian, did you get my gift?â
The man asked after finishing the birthday song.
Huo Mian frozeâ¦
Before she could reply, the man snickered and continued, âLittle Sister Mian, happy birthday⦠Iâve missed youâ¦â
