Since Huo Jinxi's days lying in the hospital bed were too boring, Mu Qian even arranged Huo Qiran's classes in the hospital in order to help him relieve his boredom.
Although there is someone to accompany you every day, losing the freedom of movement is still quite painful for a normal person, especially for a person like Huo Jinxi who is used to being busy. Suddenly being completely free is simply 100% uncomfortable.
.
Three days after the operation, after all the large and small tubes on his body were removed, Huo Jinxi began to try to get up and walk with help.
Four days after the operation, Huo Jinxi began to try to walk independently.
Seven days after the operation, there were some matters at Huai'an Painting Hall that needed Mu Qian to deal with. Twenty minutes after Mu Qian left the hospital, Huo Jinxi also temporarily left the hospital accompanied by Qi Yuan.
This trip was naturally for Cheng Manshu.
Rong Heng was already surprised when he received the call, and he was even more surprised when he saw Huo Jinxi.
"Second brother!" Rong Heng quickly stepped forward to support him, "It's only been a few days, why did you come out of the hospital?"
Not long after the operation, Huo Jinxi didn't look very good, which showed that he was still struggling to support himself.
Rong Heng immediately guessed something, "Does Mu Qian know you ran away from the hospital?"
Huo Jinxi shook his head and did not dwell too much on this. He just said, "Have everything been arranged?"
Rong Heng was really worried about his health, but he was already here and couldn't run out in vain. He could only nodded, "But it can't be too long. You must return to the hospital as soon as possible."
Huo Jinxi nodded.
Rong Heng stretched out his hand to support Huo Jinxi, but Huo Jinxi waved his hand and refused, "Not that fragile."
Rong Heng couldn't defeat him, so he had to let him do it.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Manshu, accompanied by the policewoman, walked into the interview room where Huo Jinxi was.
The moment she entered the door, Cheng Manshu's face was still calm, but when she saw Huo Jinxi sitting inside, her eyes instantly turned red. She quickly stepped forward, walked up to Huo Jinxi, and stretched out her hand to hold her.
his face.
When the policewoman saw this, she was about to step forward to stop him, but was held back by Rong Heng.
Seeing Rong Heng's look, the policewoman nodded and closed the door of the interview room.
Cheng Manshu looked at Huo Jinxi quietly for a moment, and finally cried uncontrollably.
"Does it still hurt?" she asked, crying, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Huo Jinxi slowly held her hand, shook his head, and said calmly: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
The two of them were so close, Cheng Manshu couldn't see the paleness and exhaustion in his face, and she cried even harder, "I'm sorry, Jin Xi...it's mom who's sorry for you..."
Huo Jinxi still held her hand tightly, "I came to see you with great difficulty, please stop crying."
Although he said this, Cheng Manshu couldn't bear it. She leaned on him and cried uncontrollably.
Over the years, no matter how fierce or tense the argument with Huo Bainian was, Cheng Manshu would rarely cry.
Now that she is crying like this, at least it means that she is no longer suppressing herself.
Thinking of this, Huo Jinxi stopped trying to persuade her and let her cry happily.
More than ten minutes later, Cheng Manshu gradually calmed down, and still stared at Huo Jinxi, full of love and guilt, "You should take good care of your injuries. You are still so young. Don't let me cause any diseases for you because of my mistakes...
"
"Don't worry," Huo Jinxi said, "I will take good care of myself. I know you are having a hard time too, and I will take you out as soon as possible."
Hearing Huo Jinxi's words, Cheng Manshu paused, then slowly shook his head.
"No need." She said, "You just need to take care of yourself, don't worry about me... I did something wrong and I should be punished..."
"Mom——" Huo Jinxi called her in a low voice.
"Really." Cheng Manshu held his hand tightly and spoke again, "I'm not saying negative things, nor am I trying to break things down... I've thought about it very clearly these days... That's it.
, that’s it... I’ll feel at ease if you’re not here, other things are not important——”
As Cheng Manshu spoke, he lowered his head, rested his forehead on Huo Jinxi's hand, and prayed with all his heart.
Over the years, Huo Jinxi had never seen such a calm Cheng Manshu, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Cheng Manshu raised her head again, her eyes still focused on Huo Jinxi, as if at this moment, she couldn't think of anyone else except Huo Jinxi.
Until Huo Jinxi spoke again: "Dad said he came to see you, but you didn't see him."
Hearing him mention Huo Bainian, Cheng Manshu's eyes narrowed slightly after all. He paused for a moment, but it only turned into a faint smile, "What will happen if I see him? It doesn't make any sense... You tell him that he won't have to do it in the future.
Come see me again... You can arrange for a lawyer to handle my divorce from him..."
Huo Jinxi's eyes flickered, "Have you finally figured it out?"
Cheng Manshu laughed and said, "I figured it out. I tortured myself for most of my life for him, and the rest of my time should be spent living for myself. Don't you think so?"
When she said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Huo Jinxi. Although she was smiling, her eyes were still filled with tears.
Huo Jinxi slowly held her hand, "The most important thing is that you are happy."
Cheng Manshu's attention instantly moved to his hands, "Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling unwell? It's only been a few days and you were so seriously injured that you couldn't be discharged from the hospital so quickly. You
Did he sneak out of the hospital?"
"Don't worry," Huo Jinxi said, "I know my body is fine."
Cheng Manshu leaned against him again and leaned against him quietly for a moment before saying again: "Go back and take good care of yourself... Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I've never felt so good in so many years... I
The only hope now is that you can be well..."
After saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing, "I know you will get better. With Mu Qian by your side, you will definitely get better... You like her, and she also likes you... these years you
You have suffered enough, now with her by your side, you can finally live a good life..."
Huo Jinxi listened quietly, looked at her for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, but only said: "You must also get better, so that I can live a good life."
"I know, I know..." Cheng Manshu's tears fell again, "I will be fine. From now on, I will never let you worry about me again..."
Huo Jinxi slowly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that kept falling on her face.
…
When leaving, Huo Jinxi saw Huo Bainian at the door.
As soon as Huo Bainian saw him, he immediately came forward and accused him of running out of the hospital without permission. Then he asked Cheng Manshu with some embarrassment, "Your mother..."
"She's very good." Huo Jinxi replied.
"Then is she willing to see me?" Huo Bainian asked again.
Huo Jinxi said slowly: "It's not necessary. She will never see you again. The conflict and entanglement between you for so many years should end here."
After hearing this, Huo Bainian suddenly froze on the spot.
Over the years, so many conflicts and disputes between him and Cheng Manshu were just for this day.
But when that day came, he didn't feel any joy or excitement in his heart.
Who would have thought that once the burden that has been carried for thirty years is put down, what is left is not relaxation and relief, but an inexplicable feeling of loss?
