Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Just like that, in the far too silent visitor’s lounge, the clock on the wall ticked dissonantly, its ”ticking” sound seeming to stretch each minute and second unbearably long.

After what felt like an age, Huo Jinnan suddenly reached out to grab Che Huan’s hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

Che Huan turned her head to look at him, not knowing what to say, and just smiled at him.

Huo Jinnan’s eyes, dark and deep, swept over Che Huan, his thin lips rippling with a faint trace of a smile.

The little guy sat in Che Huan’s embrace, feeling sour as he watched the two exchange glances, because he was worried about grandma, he held back from making a sound. He only pursed his lips, put his little hands together, and poked them forcefully, then turned to look at the leader of the group and lightly kicked the leader’s tail with his foot.

The leader reacted swiftly, almost instantly jumping to the farthest distance from the little one.

Huo Jinxue, seeing this, felt her tense heart loosen a little, ”Little Demon, are you bullying the leader again?”

The little guy glanced at Huo Jinxue, pouted his lips, and didn’t make a sound, his little face clearly expressing his unhappiness!

Huo Jinxue, feeling a bit put out, glanced at the wall clock; it had been an hour already, why hadn’t Shen Mubai and the others come out yet?

She turned to Huo Jinnan, ”Brother, how long does a consultation take?”

Huo Jinnan lit the cigarette between his fingers, ”It should be soon.”

He then took a drag and flicked off the ash.

Huo Jinxue looked at Huo Jinnan for a while, then hugged Huo Jinbei’s arm, leaning on his shoulder, ”Third bro!”

Huo Jinbei stroked Huo Jinxue’s ponytail, ”Don’t worry, mom will be okay.”

Huo Jinxue nodded, said nothing more, and stared fixedly in the direction of the ward.

Che Huan watched their sibling interactions from the side and suddenly felt envious of Huo Jinxue—how happy she must be to have a brother like Huo Jinnan and another one like Huo Jinbei!

How nice would it be if she had a brother?

...

Two whole hours later, the door of the ward finally opened.

Shen Mubai was the first to push the door and come out, followed by several tall doctors with varying skin colors, all wearing white lab coats.

Che Huan glanced over, three Caucasians, two African Americans, five people all communicating in English, lots of professional terminology, completely incomprehensible to her.

She looked at Shen Mubai.

Shen Mubai looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction, ”We need to discuss the consultation results, Brother Huo can attend as well.”

Huo Jinnan extinguished the cigarette between his fingers, ”Mmm,” he responded, released Che Huan’s hand, stood up, and shook hands with the specialists before speaking with them quietly in English.

Che Huan listened beside him, surprised. She hadn’t expected his English to be so good, the pronunciation was extremely standard, not at all like the scholastic tone, combined with an excellent voice and magnetic quality, he was irresistibly charming.

Feeling Che Huan’s gaze fixed on himself, Huo Jinnan looked over, gave her a reassuring look, and then left with the experts.

...

Three hours later, Huo Jinnan came back.

The moment he entered the door, Huo Jinxue and Huo Jinbei immediately stood up, ”Second brother, how did the consultation go?”

Huo Jinnan’s brow furrowed slightly, ”We’ll perform an artificial heart transplant surgery tonight.”

So, the situation is that bad?

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly grew silent.

Che Huan looked up in Huo Jinnan’s direction, biting her lip.

Huo Jinxue slumped onto the sofa, ”Second bro, when can we find a matching heart?”
