"I was kidnapped when I was sixteen. The kidnappers nearly stripped naked and put in a glass container over a ter high, then took photos. They planned to use those photos to demand ransom from An Zhiguo, but he refused to pay. In the end, it was Tang Jiuze who paid to get out, and since then, the photos have been in his possession," An Ge said nonchalantly, leaving out many details.
For instance, she was dressed in nothing but a dress as thin as gossar, displayed like an exhibit inside that glass container. They poured wax on her and doused her with urine...
That was probably the most disgraceful and painful experience of her life, one she was unwilling to ntion! After finishing the last sentence, An Ge lifted her head.
Her gaze was still calm, yet her whole being seed shrouded in a cloud of gloom, dark and desolate.
She shook off the cardigan drenched with water before speaking of Ms. Wen’s bone marrow transplant. She asked Young Master Huo, "Can you fulfill your promise now?"
She only asked like this, not expecting his answer.
After going upstairs to change her clothes and coming back down, the man who had finished breakfast was already grabbing the car keys, intending to leave.
An Ge hurried forward.
"Young Master Huo, yesterday at the golf course, you promised with a word of gold, if I won against Lu Huai’an, you’d fulfill my every request..."
Young Master Huo interrupted her, "What about the watch?"
He was referring to the watch An Ge had won from Lu Huai’an. The ntion of that watch made An Ge’s heart skip a beat.
She was short on money and wished she could stretch every penny tenfold. She had planned to sell the watch to rent a new place. Thus, Young Master Huo’s words instantly heightened her vigilance, and she feigned ignorance, saying, "...What watch?"
Young Master Huo, as if having a mind-reading worm inside her stomach, saw through her thoughts in an instant. He laughed coldly,
"If you’re not ntally challenged, don’t even think about that watch. Just find out what kind of scum Lu Huai’an is. Now hand over the watch to ."
After a pause, he added sothing An Ge cared about, "Give the watch, and I’ll take you to the hospital now."
Even though it pained An Ge to see the money in her pocket fly away, she was happy that her mother, Ms. Wen, could imdiately undergo the bone marrow transplant.
She handed the million-dollar watch from Lu Huai’an to Young Master Huo, then followed him to the hospital.
By the ti they arrived, An Baoying, Bai ilan, and An Zhiguo were already there.
After Doctor Zhou confird the pre-surgical communication matters with An Ge, she signed a stack of docunts.
After signing the papers, Bai ilan and An Baoying called her to the hallway under the pretext of using the restroom.
An Baoying got straight to the point with An Ge, "Can we delete that recording now?"
With Young Master Huo present today, An Ge figured Bai ilan and An Baoying wouldn’t dare do anything underhanded, so she deleted the recording from her phone in front of them. However, she had a backup on the cloud drive.
Bai ilan, still uneasy, said, "You wouldn’t have made a backup, would you?"
An Ge curled her lips and said with composure, "You’re dreaming of a perfect persona in front of Young Master Huo, and you’ve both signed the bone marrow transplant agreent. Even if I have a backup, are you going to back out now?"
At these words, An Baoying was so angry her eyes turned red, "An Ge, don’t go too far..."
Fearing An Baoying might say sothing she shouldn’t in a fit of emotion, Bai ilan quickly pulled her back and stopped her.
She addressed An Ge, "An Ge, after all, you’re part of the An Family, your father’s biological daughter. For that alone, we wouldn’t truly want to sever ties with you. Besides, you’re half a part of the Huo Family now, so we definitely won’t."
With a pause, she changed the tone, "Of course, if you’re ungrateful, I have ways to make you suffer." Leaving those words, Bai ilan dragged An Baoying away.
An Baoying was unwilling, "Mom, you’re being too polite to her."
Bai ilan patted her hand, soothingly, "Why worry? Didn’t I tell you, after this bone marrow transplant, that Wen woman will die from post-surgical complications? She has to die cleanly for the next chess piece to co into play."
An Baoying listened in confusion, but Bai ilan added, "Isn’t Young Master Huo’s mother coming to the hospital today for her eye checkup? You should seize the opportunity to see her. Tell her how close Young Master Huo and that little vixen An Ge are, and how An Ge tries to ruin your engagent with Young Master Huo by sneaking into his room at night to seduce him."
These words imdiately caught An Baoying’s attention, her eyes lighting up, "Right, I’m going to find Young Master Huo’s mother now. I doubt any mother would sit idly by and watch as her son gets seduced by a vixen carrying an unknown spawn without doing sothing."
The bone marrow transplant procedure is a process, not rely a simple surgery.
If it were rely infusing bone marrow, like a blood transfusion, it would take only a few hours. But the entire bone marrow transplant process takes about a month. After receiving the transplant, the patient needs to undergo pre-treatnt chemotherapy before stem cell infusion. Waiting for the stem cells to take root takes more than two weeks, requiring a month-long stay in the facility.
In short, today’s bone marrow transplant was only the beginning.
An Ge’s mother entered the facility for the bone marrow transplant six hours later.
By then, Young Master Huo and the Bai ilan family trio had already left.
An Ge couldn’t be in the facility to accompany her mother, so as she stepped out of the hospital building, planning to eat noodles at a nearby shop, her phone vibrated.
The call was from Shen Hongxiu, but the voice on the other end was not Shen Hongxiu’s—it was Fu Rou, Young Master Huo’s mother.
"Ms. An, could you co to my room?"
Fu Rou had been blind for a long ti, but she still had a chance of recovery. Young Master Huo had hired an ophthalmologist at a high salary, and after an inspection, they had Fu Rou admitted for treatnt.
Once Fu Rou had completed the admission procedures, An Baoying had found her and exaggerated the matter, leaving Fu Rou unsettled. She intended to summon An Ge for a talking-to, to prevent any scandalous events.
But An Ge didn’t know her intentions, so she asked, "Is there sothing you need from ?"
Fu Rou, believing from An Baoying’s words that An Ge might have already climbed into Huo Shaoyan’s bed, was very angry, so her voice was cold, "Were you with Ah Yan last night?"
Upon hearing this, An Ge instantly realized sothing.
She thought about it and said, "Young Master Huo was drunk last night. I made him so hangover soup..."
"Co to my room. So things are better discussed face-to-face."
When An Ge arrived at Fu Rou’s room, Huo Shaoyan and An Baoying were both there.
An Ge knocked and entered, and Huo Shaoyan’s brow imdiately furrowed.
He pulled her forward and said in a deep voice, "This isn’t where you should be..."
Fu Rou, lying in the hospital bed, spoke, "I haven’t even done anything to her, and you rush in to defend her? Ah Yan, did this woman seduce you last night? Did you do anything disgraceful?"
Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes, his gaze landing on An Baoying, and pursed his thin lips without responding.
