Chapter 392: Your Husband’s Pretty Awesome

Contrary to Su Qingsang nearly losing her mind as she was overwhelmed by anger, Huo Jinyao was always calm.

Su Chenghui might have outwardly calmed down, but he could still feel the faint rage in his heart. The anger was directed towards Su Peizhen.

He believed that Su Chenghui meant it when he claimed that he would go back and punish Su Peizhen. It wasn’t mere lip service.

However, if he could punish Su Peizhen, his daughter whom he had doted on for over twenty years, for Xiang Caiping’s sake, why was he always so cold towards Xiang Caiping’s own daughter, Su Qingsang?

The unsettling feeling Huo Jinyao had felt in the past resurfaced again. Somewhere deep down his heart, there was a flash of doubt.

Before he could think more about it, his phone rang.

It was Yang Wenchang. The driver responsible for the accident had already been apprehended by the traffic authorities. However, since Xiang Caiping was the one who stumbled onto the road herself, she had to shoulder the bulk of the responsibility.

Nevertheless, the driver was still locked up and his license taken away.

Huo Jinyao hung up and relayed the information to Su Qingsang. “Although the speed that the driver was going at was a little fast, he was still within the speed limit at the time.”

Therefore, besides being locked up for a few days and having his license revoked, there wouldn’t be any other severe punishment for him.

Su Qingsang did not say anything in reply to that. She only looked at Xiang Caiping and said, “I’m not concerned about the driver at all. I just want my mom to wake up soon.”

“Mom will be fine.”

“She will.”

Xiang Caiping was a good person, and a good person would get good karma.

Huo Jinyao managed to convince Su Qingsang about that. He glanced at the dinner Su Chenghui brought. He could smell it, and his stomach growled.

“Let’s eat.” He had initially wanted Yang Wenchang to order something, but they already had food here. “It’s a waste if you don’t.”

Su Qingsang threw him a look. He, of all people, would be concerned over wasting food?

“I don’t want to eat the food he brought.” Su Qingsang wasn’t acting out of spite. If Su Chenghui still wanted to protect Su Peizhen, she really couldn’t stomach accepting any offerings from him.

“I think you should eat.”

Huo Jinyao opened up the lunchbox and took out the dishes within. “Think about it. Your mom is unconscious. You can’t do anything about your dad for now. So why don’t you grab this opportunity to make your dad do something for you and your mom? As a way to get back at him?”

When he met Su Qingsang’s disapproving glare, he raised his hands in defense. “I’m being serious. Think about it. You should be thinking of ways to torture your dad. Why stop at making him get you dinner? You should make him do other things, like taking care of your mom, and more.”

“Nonsense. Who needs him to take care of my mom?” Su Chenghui might just make things worse.

“Right. Our mom doesn’t need him. We’re the only ones she needs.”

What Huo Jinyao said had made Su Qingsang glare at him, but she felt so much better after that.

She sat by the bed and studied Xiang Caiping’s sickly white face. “My mom won’t want him to take care of her.” She mumbled in a soft voice.

Xiang Caiping always drew a very distinct line when it came to love and hate. Now that she hated Su Chenghui so much, how could she stand letting him take care of her?

“Come, eat.”

Su Qingsang didn’t have any appetite, but she still ate a little.

After dinner, Su Chingsang went to enquire about Xiang Caiping’s medical history and some details with the doctor on duty.

The doctor who worked during that shift, Dr. Jiang, allowed Su Qingsang to look through the forms. Su Qingsang, a fellow medical practitioner herself, leafed through all of them.

When she read the report regarding the blood transfer and the expenditure written across the top of it, Su Qingsang stopped short. Xiang Caiping had type O blood?

She recalled that she was—

Before she could delve into that thought, Dr. Jiang started speaking. “Dr. Su, don’t worry. Your mom will be fine. As for the bills, your husband has already covered them.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t going to ask about that, but she still nodded politely.

Dr. Jiang worked in the same hospital as Su Qingsang, yet they never really came across each other as they were in different departments. However, he was an entertaining person. He winked at Su Qingsang.

“Speaking of it, your husband’s pretty awesome. He was here not long after your mom arrived. He looked like he was swamped with work, but he still stayed here. That’s pretty thoughtful of him.”

Su Qingsang seemed a little shy when she looked at him but strangely satisfied too. He was clearly praising Huo Jinyao, which made a bubble of strange joy well up in her heart.

“Yeah, he’s pretty awesome.”

“You had better appreciate him.” Dr. Jiang’s face bore a teasing look. “Solely judging by how attentive he is to his mother-in-law… you had better treat him well.”

“I hope I do.”

Su Qingsang seemed a little embarrassed now. She returned the forms to Dr. Jiang. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back.”

“Mmm. You’re a doctor too, so you should already know the ropes. Take good care of your mom.”

“I will.” The thought that flashed past in her mind just now was gone completely. By the time she got back to the hospital room, it was pretty late already.

Huo Jinyao was still sorting through his work matters. When he saw her, he put down the pen in his hand. “How did it go? Did the doctor say anything else?”

“Nothing much. I just wanted to understand more about her current condition.” She wanted to take better care of Xiang Caiping.

Huo Jinyao gave her a nod. Su Qingsang watched him and stood by his side, her gaze falling onto the piles of documents and the laptop in front of him.

“If you’re really busy, perhaps you should head home first? I’m fine being here alone today.”

“It’s fine. If you’re not home, I’ve got no motivation to head back either.” Huo Jinyao pulled her into his lap and bounced her slightly. “You don’t have to be so polite with me. I like accompanying you.”

Su Qingsang nodded and sighed in secret. “How about showering and changing your clothes?”

“I’ll go back tomorrow morning for that,” Huo Jinyao replied casually.

Su Qingsang nodded and looped her arms around Huo Jinyao’s neck. “Huo Jinyao, do you think my mom will wake up tomorrow?”

“Yes. Definitely.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t as confident as he was. “My mom really won’t be paralyzed, right? I’ve asked Dr. Jiang, but I’m still pretty worried.”

“She definitely won’t be. If the doctors in Lin City aren’t good enough, then we’ll go to Rong City. If necessary, we’ll get treatment overseas. Somewhere, there must be an expert that can treat our mom.”

“Okay.” Since he phrased it that way, Su Qingsang could only believe in him. She held his hand and rubbed her face against his chest tenderly.

“Huo Jinyao.”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you.” With him by her side, she would feel safe and secure no matter what obstacles she faced.

Huo Jinyao looped his arm around her waist and looked into her face. “We’re husband and wife.”

Su Qingsang did not say anything else. She placed her entire focus on Xiang Caiping, hoping that she would get better soon and wake up faster.

Su Qingsang did not sleep well that night. She kept having restless dreams throughout the night.

Huo Jinyao never slept. He sat by the bed and studied Su Qingsang’s face, holding her hand and providing her some silent solace.

His hand was very warm. Su Qingsang calmed down slowly as she felt his warmth and finally fell asleep

Su Qingsang woke up very early the next day. She might not have slept well for the first half of the night, but she had ample rest during the second half, so she still felt quite refreshed.

She rushed to see Xiang Caiping impatiently after she just got up, and found that she still showed no signs of stirring anytime soon.
