Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

1742 Bear The Weight Of The Crown

Morey thought about Huo Qing’s last words and added. “Oh yes. Go and find out if anything has happened in the Huo family.”

The secretary nodded. “I’m on it.”

“Uh huh.” Morey waved his hand.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Huo Yao was still performing acupuncture on Huo Jinfeng in the hospital ward. By the time she was done, more than 30 minutes had passed.

She checked Huo Jinfeng’s pulse. After confirming his condition had stabilized, she finally felt relieved.

She walked out of the hospital ward.

Xie was waiting there. When he saw Huo Yao come out of the ward, he quickly went over. “Miss Huo.”

Huo Yao looked a little tired, but it was not obvious. She glanced across the corridor. “Are they all gone?”

“Uh huh. All gone.” Xie nodded and asked. “When will Master Jinfeng regain consciousness?”

“His injuries are severe. It all depends on his willpower.” Huo Yao smiled sadly.

She was a physician, so she could treat external injuries, but she was powerless against matters of the heart.

Xie clenched his fists. “I’m sure Master Jinfeng will make it.”

“I’m certain of it.”

Xie loosened his hands and suddenly knelt on one knee to Huo Yao looking guilty. “Miss Huo, I am sorry.”

Huo Yao was stunned.

Xie lowered his head and said, “I shouldn’t have put you in a difficult position with the elders and Third Councilor. Now, you got mocked for no reason. I’m so sorry.”

Miss Huo was doing her utmost to save Master Jinfeng, but he could not resist telling everyone her true status earlier in the heat of the moment. Even though she was not involved in clan politics, he had undoubtedly put her in a difficult position pushing her to the center of the storm.

This meant Miss Huo might get targeted by those people and get secretly hurt.

Sadly, he had no other choice. Even if he could turn back time, he would still choose to do the same thing.

If the political situation in the clan got complicated, Miss Huo would only be in greater danger.

Huo Yao looked at Xie as he lowered his head. She naturally understood the reason for his reaction.

She sighed and reached her hand out to help him up. She responded in a cool tone. “Since you call me Miss Huo, I have to fulfill my duties, right?”

If she wanted to wear the crown, she had to bear the weight.

It certainly was not easy to be the eldest daughter of the clan.

Xie looked even guiltier. “My apologies.”

Huo Yao looked serene. “Even if you didn’t do this, they will still mock me. It’s just a matter of time.”

Xie wanted to speak, but when he made eye contact with Miss Huo’s composed eyes, he felt so awkward that he choked. He simply said, “I know.”

Miss Huo might have decided to let him off, but he would automatically ask for punishment when he got back.

“Oh yes. Where’s Uncle Changfeng?” asked Huo Yao, changing the subject.

“Chief Steward has something to attend to and can only get back in a couple of days,” said Xie. He paused and added. “Don’t worry, Miss Huo. I will make arrangements to give you a secret protection detail.”

Huo Yao quietly glanced at him. “Well, I don’t need it.”

This was hardly considered protection. Instead, it would make people want to kill her even more.

Huo Yao pressed her brow. She told Xie to leave and turned to go back to Shangguan Yun’s hospital ward.

When Shangguan Yun saw Huo Yao, he promptly cried with dark eye rings on his face. “Sister, I’m sorry.”

Huo Yao was simply ruthless. Last night, she sent a few people to play video games with him all night.

Even till now, he did not get to sleep a wink.

He had just donated a lot of blood, hadn’t he?

Huo Yao glanced at Shangguan Yun coldly. She raised her hand and told the others to leave the hospital ward. When all the outsiders were gone, she took out her phone and took a photo of his haggard face.

Shangguan Yun asked anxiously. “Sister, what are you trying to do?”

“Oh. I just want to send it to Aunt Tong so that she can see the joy on your face.” Huo Yao answered in a gentle tone.
