She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

"Meng Xia! Where are you now?"

As soon as the call was connected, a man's anxious voice came from the other side. Meng Xia glanced at the ward next to her, covered the phone and whispered, "Didn't I already tell you, I have to go back to the store first if I have something to do."

"You still want to lie to me? I'm in your store now, where are you?"

"..."

Meng Xia was speechless for a moment and said hesitantly, "There's just something..."

"Is there something important that requires you to go alone first? Even if it is really so important, why can't you wake me up and accompany you?"

"Do you know how nervous I was when I woke up and found you missing? You just left a message without saying anything, and you never answered the phone. Do you know..."

"I'm sorry, I have something to do now. I'll explain it to you later."

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Xia suddenly caught a glimpse of her husband coming out and quickly interrupted Huo Xibai's words.

"Wait! Where are you now? I'll go find you..."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Meng Xia suddenly heard these words and said quickly, "Don't look for me, I will go back soon."

Finally, he softened his voice and added, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After that, she hung up the phone and walked to the doctor, "I'm sorry, how is her condition?"

"The trauma is not serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest. It's just..."

After a pause, as if he was thinking of something, the doctor frowned and reminded, "Do I need to call the police? If I call the police now, there is still time to collect evidence."

"..."

Meng Xia was stunned. She said something similar yesterday, but Wen Yingying's attitude seemed to be that she didn't want to make a fuss.

"Thank you."

After sending the doctor away, Meng Xia opened the door to the ward and walked in. Wen Yingying was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were dry and peeling, showing that her body had never been more fragile.

She walked over and dipped a cotton swab in water and moistened her lips. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard another soft voice, "Thank you."

"..."

Meng Xia turned around. The woman's eyes were still closed. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "It's nothing. If you don't want others to know, I will stay with you these days."

"..."

Wen Yingying still didn't speak. Meng Xia hesitated for a moment, then turned and left. ——

"Where have you been?"

As soon as Meng Xia returned home, she saw Huo Xibai sitting in the hall, staring at her with a sullen face.

"...went out to do some errands."

"You need to avoid me for something, and you lied to me and made me worry all morning. Are you not going to give me a reasonable explanation now?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Meng Xia suddenly walked forward quickly, threw herself into Huo Xibai's arms and hugged him, "I'm a little tired."

The man who was suddenly hugged was stunned, "Hey, are you planning to fool me by acting coquettishly? Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"

"..."

It's really useless.

Meng Xia pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm not fooling you, I just can't tell you the reason yet, but I don't want to lie to you, so..."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai became nervous and immediately grabbed her shoulders, stared into her eyes and asked, "Why can't you tell me? Who threatened you? Is it Huo Xicheng? Or..."

"No, it's not them. It has nothing to do with them, and it has nothing to do with me. It's not my business."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Meng Xia immediately shook his head.

"Really?"

"real."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her again, "That's good."

Seeing that he really stopped asking, Meng Xia couldn't help it anymore, raised her head and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

"Didn't you say it has nothing to do with you? What am I curious about about something that has nothing to do with you?"

"..."

Meng Xia didn't know how to tell him. This might be a major event related to the Huo family, but just by looking at a piece of clothing, he couldn't be sure that the other party was Huo Xicheng——

After all, she really couldn't imagine that Huo Xicheng would be such a person... (End of Chapter)
