Che Huan looked toward Wen Ru.
Wen Ru had no intention of explaining, "Just say your mother’s na is Wen Ru, and then tell him the whole story as it happened, making sure to clarify everything."
Listening to this, Che Huan felt a strange sensation in her chest.
The person her mother wanted her to find was... who was he? Would ntioning her mother’s na make him help her? It must be more than a casual relationship, right? Why didn’t her mother call him herself?
And since it was a phone call, why did it have to wait until tomorrow?
Seeing Che Huan staring intently at herself without blinking, Wen Ru showed signs of weariness, "I’m tired, and you should go back and rest as well. I’ll give you the phone number tomorrow morning."
Knowing that no matter what she asked her mother would not answer, Che Huan acknowledged with a nod and went upstairs, heavy-hearted.
When she arrived at Zhong Qin’s ward and saw Huo Jinnan, it felt like a world away despite just one night apart.
Before she had ti to put down the breakfast she brought back after seeing Qin Mochuan and Fang Tong, she threw herself into his arms the instant she saw him, unable to control her emotions.
Noticing her pale complexion, Huo Jinnan raised his hand to lightly stroke Che Huan’s cheek, "Didn’t sleep last night?"
Che Huan nodded, "My mom wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t dare to sleep."
Huo Jinnan picked up his phone and made a call to Shen Mubai, arranging for another top-level nurse to be added to Wen Ru’s ward.
Che Huan stood beside him, her gaze lingering affectionately on Huo Jinnan, unsure if the person her mother would have her call tomorrow could actually help her; she was completely at a loss.
She was also scared, scared that after he found out, he would ultimately choose Aunt Zhong.
She could understand, yet she dreaded the feeling of heartbreak.
After Huo Jinnan finished the call, he lifted his gaze to Che Huan who had been staring at him continuously, "Want to keep looking a bit closer?"
Che Huan t his eyes and blushed instantly, "The nurse is still outside."
"So what?"
After a while, Huo Jinnan let go of her, "Go to the rest area and sleep for a bit."
Che Huan looked at him, appearing to have stayed awake all night, "Aren’t you going to sleep?"
Huo Jinnan asked a question, and recalling that the nurse was still outside, Che Huan dropped the breakfast she had been clutching and fled in panic, heading straight for the rest area.
Huo Jinnan’s eyes, deep and profound, watched her retreating figure. He lit a cigarette and took a drag. As he heard a knock, he turned his head toward the door, "Co in."
The special care nurse entered, "Mr. Huo, I’m here to take Ms. Zhong’s temperature."
Huo Jinnan humd in acknowledgnt, "Go ahead."
He sat on the sofa, the cigarette held between his fingers, bowing his head and watching it twirl, the look in his eyes growing darker and deeper.
Just then, Huo Bei led the squad leader in.
Seeing that Che Huan wasn’t there, Huo Bei asked softly, "Sir, should we check on it?"
Huo Jinnan lifted his eyes, his gaze settling on Huo Bei, his voice chilling, "Check what?"
Huo Bei lowered his head and didn’t say anything more, but he was sowhat worried. Today, Miss Che had indeed been out for a while, a full two hours. It doesn’t take that long to buy breakfast.
