I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds

Chapter 2: Truth From The Bottom Of My Heart

In the VIP ward of the Huo family’s hospital.

There were bodyguards guarding both sides of the corridor as soon as they entered.

The crying mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other and pushed the bodyguards away with one hand.

“Where’s my son?”

“Where’s my husband?”

Their voices were soft, but their hands were not weak. The bodyguards did not dare to stop them and hurriedly pointed in the direction of the ward. The two of them hurriedly ran over and pushed open the door.

Huo Ce, who was sitting on the hospital bed signing documents, frowned and looked up. What greeted his eyes were two tear-stained faces.

Lin Lang pounced on his son’s bed and hugged his head as he cried. “Son, my son!”

Ning Wan was also brewing snot and tears. “My husband! How can I live without you!”

[Eh, even monitoring instruments are in use? Is it really that serious? When will he die?]

Huo Ce’s vision was blocked by Lin Lang’s arm. He heard a crisp voice just as he was about to speak. He felt a headache and could not help but frown even more.

“Mom, don’t cry.” Huo Ce reached out to support his swaying mother. At the same time, he saw his wife kneeling by the bed, crying with her head lowered.

[How much wealth does he have? How can I settle it? Should I read up about it so that I wouldn’t be deceived by a lawyer when the time comes?]

The unexpected sound entered his ears again, and Huo Ce felt his hair stand on end.

Ning Wan raised her head slightly and looked at Huo Ce shyly with her watery eyes. She sobbed and said, “When Mom heard that you were sick, she was so frightened that she didn’t even have time to drink milk and insisted on coming to see you. You’re Mom’s spiritual pillar. You can’t fall!”

[I beg you, fall quickly. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Mom and my nephew for you!]

Huo Ce’s face darkened. Who is talking?

Lin Lang held his son’s face and sized him up carefully. His tears fell on Huo Ce’s face. “Son, what’s wrong? Are you going to scare me to death?”

Ning Wan quickly reached out to take a tissue from the tissue beside her and handed it to Huo Ce. She said softly, “Mom was worried about you. I almost had a heart attack.”

Lin Lang nodded with tears in his eyes. “I was almost scared to death by you.”

[Please, get angry and chase us out now. My legs are getting numb.]

Huo Ce’s gaze landed on Ning Wan, cold and searching.

Ning Wan looked at Huo Ce eagerly, her admiration almost overflowing.

“Doctor! Where’s the doctor? Who’s the attending doctor?” Lin Lang asked the two bodyguards guarding the door.

“Mom, I’m fine.” Huo Ce suppressed the chaos in his heart, ears, and eyes and said slowly.

The doctor pushed the door open and entered. Ning Wan quietly stretched her legs.

[Should I get up or not? Why didn’t he get the bodyguards to throw me out?]

Huo Ce’s gaze landed on Ning Wan again. She was lowering her head to tidy up the corners of his blanket.

“Gu Miao? You’re Huo Ce’s attending doctor? Tell me, what’s wrong with my son? My son has never been sick! He’s never been sick since he was born. What’s wrong with him? Huh? Tell me quickly, what’s going on? I heard from his secretary that he fainted in his office? What’s going on?” Lin Lang asked the doctor who pushed the door open. She was just short of grabbing the doctor’s collar.

[Oh? He fainted? Oh my god, it seems that the matter is very serious. This is really the best news of the year! Haha, even better news than Huo Yuan learning to eat by himself!]

Huo Ce’s gaze froze on Ning Wan’s back. He was sure that these heart-wrenching words were from the heart of this “sincere” woman who had cried until her eyes were red!

“Matriarch, don’t be anxious. Mr. Huo is fine now. Of course, we still have to give him a further examination.” Gu Miao had always known Matriarch Huo’s temper and quickly comforted her.

“B-but why did you put up so many machines if there’s nothing serious? Does my husband have an incurable disease? Doctor, tell us the truth. Otherwise, we’ll be even more worried!” Ning Wan asked weakly.

“That’s right, that’s right. Gu Miao, you’re not allowed to hide it from Auntie. You have to tell the truth!” Lin Lang immediately said.

[That’s right. Our family has the right to know. I have to know when my husband will die!]

Huo Ce pursed his lips and looked at the thin back of the woman in front of him. He fell into self-doubt. Am I crazy? Or is she crazy?

Gu Miao waved her hands repeatedly. “Auntie, Auntie, Sister-in-law, listen to me, listen to me!”

Lin Lang stopped talking and looked at Gu Miao eagerly.

Ning Wan also took the opportunity to stand up and move closer to him.

[Sigh, this doesn’t make sense. Don’t bodyguards throw me out every time? Now, I have to stay and feign civility.]

Huo Ce stared at the woman’s thin back and frowned.

He hated this woman who cried at the drop of a hat. Moreover, she would make his mother cry with her. He was not afraid of anything in his life except for his crying mother. He was not the only one who was afraid. His father and brother were all afraid of her!

Therefore, he would get the bodyguards to invite her out every time this woman was about to start or had already started to cry.

She was his wife in name, so he would still give her some respect on the surface. Why did it become “throwing her out” in her perspective?

“Auntie, Sister-in-law, Second Brother Huo is dizzy because of the lack of blood supply in his brain caused by fatigue. Don’t worry, I even did a comprehensive physical examination on him. The results are not out yet, but there is definitely no problem.” Gu Miao quickly reported to the two noble Madam Huos.

Lin Lang was overjoyed. Ning Wan copied it and gave him a happy expression.

[Are you kidding me? Could it be a misdiagnosis? Could he be a quack? How can he be fine after fainting? Sigh, it’s too disappointing.]

Disappointing? Huo Ce raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t worry, Auntie. I won’t let anything happen to Second Brother’s body with me around.” Gu Miao promised repeatedly.

Lin Lang held Gu Miao’s hand and was overjoyed.

Ning Wan quietened down, looking at the handsome young man in a white coat in front of her. She was fuming inside, not daring to let it show on the surface.
