I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 41
“Hello, Young Master and Young Madam.”
The Huo Family servants lined up in two rows and greeted each other in unison.
Seeing Huo Qing carefully carry Su Wan from the car, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
A month had passed, and even the media had reported that there was no hope for the young mistress to survive. Now, she had appeared in front of them once again, and even had a close relationship with the young master.
However, from the looks of it, their young mistress had actually become a … Idiot?
Su Wan hid in the man’s warm embrace, looked outside, and then quickly withdrew.
The unfamiliar air.
It was very clean and without the smell of the sea, making her feel uneasy.
Puzzled, she tugged at the man’s lapel.
“Huo Qing … Are they greeting you? Is your family very rich? ”
The man was kind to her all the way, he said, and he was her husband, and when they went out to play she fell into the sea by accident, and he searched for her for a whole month before he found her.
His tone was so real that she had no way of suspecting it.
Su Wan was glad that she had a husband who loved her so much before she lost her memory.
Huo Qing took in the pitiful expression of a woman that was like a small animal and felt pain in his heart.
He touched her head and hugged her tighter.
He rarely hugged her, and only now did he realize how thin she was. It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
“They are also greeting you well… “Yes, my family is very rich, so don’t be afraid. No one will dare to bully you anymore.”
A soft coaxing slipped out of his throat, and he was surprised that he could do it so skillfully.
“Go to the bathroom and prepare hot water for Young Madam.”
Huo Qing gave an order without thinking, causing Su Wan to immediately tighten her grip.
A trace of terror flashed within her empty eyes.
“Huo Qing, I don’t want a bath.”
Previously, the husband and wife also let her bathe, but later let their son rush in …
Huo Qing immediately understood something and felt pity and pain in his heart when he heard her soft voice call out his name.
Somehow, he lowered his head and touched her cheek.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll wash it for you myself. I won’t let them touch you.”
Su Wan buried her head in his chest, frowning and thinking for a while, then nodded confidently.
The surrounding people were all dumbfounded by what they heard.
They had never known that their young master would have such tender feelings for him. The most important thing was that the person he cared about was the young mistress, whom he disliked the most!
Wasn’t it rumored that the young madam betrayed the righteous faction, resulting in her authority to be snatched away and lost her favour? But now, it seemed, that was not the case at all.
Then if the young master knew, their attitude towards the young mistress before was not good …
Everyone’s heart turned cold, but the butler was the first to react and took a step forward.
“Young master, with young madam behaving like this, shouldn’t you invite a doctor over …”
Huo Qing looked at the bruises on the woman’s face.
“Go.”
When the servants saw that the young master’s expression was calm and did not look like he was going to get even with them, they hurriedly scattered as they were afraid that they would be attacked.
Warm water filled the tub, which was filled with rose petals.
Su Wan tightly hugged the man’s neck. Only after much difficulty did she finally get used to water contact.
She was afraid of water.
Seeing that her curled up body was still trembling, Huo Qing sighed. He could only take off his clothes and enter the bathtub. He embraced her and used a towel to help wipe her skin bit by bit.
Su Wan couldn’t see and could only sit there quietly, allowing him to flip her over and over.
When the towel moved to her chest, she let out a low cry and instinctively covered the scar.
Tears suddenly filled his eyes.
“Don’t look, it’s disgusting.”
These scars of hers had frightened the silly man by the seaside and made him cry out.
But the most important thing wasn’t that. In her hazy memories, there was a very important person that said something to her.
“I feel sick when I see the scars all over your body.”
These words were like a key to the valve, and many fragments rushed into his mind.
Su Wan wanted to piece them together, but as her head hurt more and more, she couldn’t help but hold them tightly in her arms and cry out.
“Don’t, don’t hate me …” “So painful …”
Huo Qing was frightened by her violent reaction. He thought he’d hurt her, but he heard some incantation from her mouth. It was as if he’d been struck by lightning in an instant!
It was something that he had said…
It was he who said that the scars on her body made him sick.
He never thought that his unintentional ridicule would become an untouchable pain.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. No one hates you late at night. It’s my fault, it’s me, the bastard …”
Huo Qing didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he could only helplessly embrace her. His chin was placed on her head as he repeated those words over and over again.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wan finally calmed down.
The man lowered his head slowly and took hold of the woman’s pink lips.
He did not dare to desecrate her as she was now. He only caressed her and slowly moved down, reverently imprinting on the scar he had once described as disgusting.
Su Wan was still trembling, but she didn’t push him away.
She trusted him to this point.
The woman’s snow-white skin reflected the bright red of the rose. She was unbelievably beautiful.
Huo Qing’s lower body swelled up to the point that it hurt, but he forcefully endured it. He only covered his lips with a mark that covered every inch of her skin, wanting to let her feel at ease.
“I never hated you.”
“I love you, Su Wan.”
