15 years had passed. The change around here made it seem foreign but at the same time familiar.

Shangguan Tong leaned against the car door, looking out of the window. Her mind drifted into the past and her eyes looked sad.

She never thought that she would return one day.

She used to think she would spend the rest of her life in loneliness with the burden of the family on her shoulders.

If she could see the man before she died, she would consider it a blessing from the gods.

An hour later, the cab pulled up in front of the hospital entrance.

Shangguan Tong stood at the entrance for an entire minute before she slowly headed inside.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ The nurses on duty were dozing off at the reception. Other than them, the hospital was empty and particularly quiet.

Shangguan Tong moved softly, so no one noticed her presence. When she got to the lift and pressed the bell, it let out a chime. Only then did the nurse at the counter raise her head groggily.

Even after the door closed, she failed to notice anything amiss.

The nurse yawned and did not take it to heart.

For the past few nights, she was accustomed to the presence of those guards on the 15th floor. They always appeared like ghosts, especially in the middle of the night.

Shangguan Tong took the lift to the 13th floor. When she walked out of the lift, she walked through the corridor, headed to the staircase, and walked upstairs.

On the 15th floor, she held the door handle gently. She paused before pulling it open.

She expected to come across the guards at the door, but surprisingly, no one could be seen.

Shangguan Tong narrowed her eyes. After confirming nothing was amiss, she finally entered through the door.

She headed straight to Huo Jinfeng's ward.

She opened the hospital ward door gently.

Shangguan Tong inhaled deeply. She pushed the door and entered.

In the afternoon, Huo Jinfeng had already been taken off the ventilator and he was lying calmly on the bed. The hospital equipment beside him beeped every few seconds.

Shangguan Tong slowly removed the mask covering her face to reveal it. Her face was still youthful and the passage of time could not be seen on it.

She walked up to the bedside and looked at the man lying on the hospital bed. She parted her lips and called his name softly. She had not uttered it in over a decade.

"Jinfeng…"

Meanwhile, a flashy supercar drove into the Huo estate. The engine was so loud that it cut through the silence of the night.

The supercar pulled up in front of a villa behind the main building.

The lights were on in the villa and the door was already open. Two rows of subordinates dressed in formal uniforms were standing on both sides of the entrance to receive someone. The scene looked very grand.

Huo Wanying got off the supercar dressed in a black leather outfit. Her black leather shoes clopped while she walked. She slowly removed her helmet and her long hair swept downwards. She looked very cool.

"Miss Wanying, you're back." The butler bowed reverently. He reached his hand out to take Huo Wanying's helmet.

Huo Wanying nodded slightly. She strode right in without stopping. She walked with her back straight giving off a magnetic aura.

Before long, she entered the main hall.

Huo Qing was waiting for her in the main hall. When he saw her, he went over genially, opened his arms to embrace her, and quickly let go of her. "You're back."

"Third Uncle."

Huo Wanying looked cool and beautiful. Owing to her mother, Huo Wanying had a mixed-race heritage, so her features seemed very well-defined.

Her eyes were completely black. Her deep, dark gaze looked incredibly intense.

"You spent a few hours traveling back from the South, so you must be tired, right?" asked Huo Qing and sighed sadly.

"I'm fine." Huo Wanying shook her head and looked worried. "How's Second Uncle?"
