I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 20

The smell of disinfectant lingered at the tip of his nose.

The buzzing sound was mixed with the low voices of the people around them.

Su Wan opened her eyes. She was still confused.

Someone seemed to be whispering.

“The patient is severely malnourished, and you are too careless as a husband. “Gastric hemorrhage is not a small matter. The mortality rate is as high as 8%. Furthermore, the patient has a painless sweat and is not aware of her own pain, so it is even more dangerous …”

Beside the sickbed, a tall figure was leaning against the armrest with one hand in his pocket, looking valiant.

Su Wan’s line of sight gradually became clear as she stared at the back figure in a daze.

As if feeling her gaze, Huo Qing impatiently knitted his brows at the doctor.

“Alright, I understand. You can leave now.”

He was tall and imposing, and the doctor shook his head and walked away, speechless.

Huo Qing turned his head around and glanced at the pale-faced her.

“Malnutrition? Is the Huo family hungry for you or something? ”

His tone was still very bad.

Su Wan lowered her eyes carefully.

“Nope.”

What could she say? He said that it was because she helped him mediate between the various gangs. After drinking and puking, did she fall ill at that time?

Forget it, he wouldn’t listen.

“Since you didn’t, then who are you going to show off your dead face to?”

Huo Qing said unhappily.

Su Wan’s eyelashes trembled. Before she could reply, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A refined voice followed the figure as it slowly walked in, gentle yet faintly oppressive.

“I thought it was the young master of the Huo family who shouted so brazenly in the hospital.”

Su Wan looked up and immediately struggled to sit up.

“Brother …”

She called out in a low voice before stopping again, carefully trying to probe Huo Qing’s expression.

The man’s face was naturally unsightly to the extreme.

Bai Shan acted as if there was no one around. He did not seem to know that Huo Qing had just sent someone to kill him two days ago. He directly ignored the existence of someone and sat down beside her bed.

He pressed her back with his palm and said gently.

“Lie still.”

Huo Qing’s gaze fell onto the hands that were in contact with Su Wan’s. His eyes were filled with thick murderous intent.

For a moment, he wanted to cut off his opponent’s hand.

Bai Shan naturally felt the cold air behind him.

His expression did not change, and even raised a light smile.

Looks like this Huo Qing wasn’t as uncaring of his sister as he had expected.

Since that was the case, things were much easier.

He turned around without batting an eyelid and raised his eyebrows.

“I want to reminisce about old times with my sister. Young Master Huo wouldn’t be interested in the contents of our conversation, right?”

The meaning behind his words was to let him leave.

Huo Qing’s anger surged.

To act so intimately with his woman in front of him and still dare to chase him away?

He raised his fist in the air, only to see Su Wan shaking her head at him, looking at him in distress.

“Young master, please go out for a moment — for Miss Li’s sake, will you?”

She called him Young Master cautiously.

It was hard to describe the feeling in Huo Qing’s heart, as if he’d punched cotton.

Damn it, if Meng Jing wasn’t in this woman’s hands …

He dropped his hand and went out the door.

Only then did Su Wan relax and looked at her brother.

Bai Shan looked more haggard than the last time they met.

“Brother, did you run into any trouble?”

Bai Shan did not hide it from her.

“Ever since the last time I secretly let you go, the Elders in the sect have caused a ruckus. Not long ago, Huo Qing sent people to wreck a stronghold in my base …” You know, I’ve only just taken over the Bai Clan, so it’s a bit of a headache. ”

Su Wan felt guilty. She clenched the quilt tightly with her fingertips. After a long while, she raised her head as if she had made up her mind.

“Bro, take me back.”

Bai Renxin had died by her hands.

If he dealt with her, then the grudge between the two gangs would be resolved, and she wouldn’t have any complaints.

“What nonsense is this!?” I won’t let anyone hurt you. ”

Bai Shan sternly scolded her, “Besides, the grudge between the two families has a long history. It’s not something you can resolve alone.”

Su Wan looked towards the door. After confirming that no one had heard her, she lowered her voice.

“Big brother, don’t worry. The suppression on your side will be alleviated very soon …” Young Master has already promised me that he will sign the truce with you in three days. ”

“A truce?”

Bai Shan did not hide his surprise, “With his character, why would he stop fighting? What did you promise him? ”

After a while, Su Wan Nie finally said the truth.

“I… I’ve tied up someone he likes. “
