Huo Yao swiped through her phone book and automatically found Min Yu’s number and called him.

Min Yu arrived 30 minutes later. He saw Huo Yao sitting with her legs huddled on a chair in the lobby in the corner with her head placed against her knees. She looked vulnerable and tired.
He walked over and sat down beside her.
After roughly 30 minutes, Huo Yao finally raised her head. Her eyes were red and her face was still ghastly pale. “You’re here.”
When Min Yu looked into her eyes, he felt sorry for her. “What happened?”
Huo Yao simply shook her head.
Since she did not want to talk about it, Min Yu did not continue probing her. He extended his hands and held her palms. Her hands were very cold and he could not help frowning. He took off his jacket and placed it on her.
“Take me home,” said Huo Yao.
When she stood up from the seat, her legs turned soft, and she nearly lost balance.
“Okay,” acknowledged Min Yu before he carried her and strode out of the hospital.
When they got back to the estate, Huo Yao was fast asleep. Min Yu simply glanced at her without sending her back to her villa. Instead, he drove back to his place.
Even after he was done parking the car, she was still fast asleep.
……
Min Yu got out of the car and carried Huo Yao off the vehicle. She finally opened her eyes and asked hoarsely. “Are we there?”
Min Yu acknowledged softly. He pressed her head against his chest. “We’re at my place.”
“Okay.” Huo Yao was genuinely exhausted and promptly closed her eyes again.
After entering the villa, Min Yu carried her to his room on the second floor.
He sat by the bed briefly and waited for her to fall asleep before he finally left the room.
He gave the order to find out what happened to her earlier.

Huo Yao kept sleeping until it was past 5:00 pm. When she woke up, she looked at the surroundings and went into a daze. Where was she?
After a couple of minutes, she finally recalled the incident last night. She blinked her eyes and slowly sat up in bed.
She glanced around until she found her phone placed on the bedside table.
Huo Yao picked up her phone to check the time before she finally pulled off the blanket and stood up barefooted.
The door happened to open from the outside. Min Yu entered the room holding a cup of warm water. “I thought you might be up.”
Huo Yao scratched her head looking at him. She could have gone home taking a cab in the morning, but she called him to pick her up. However, she did not stop to wonder why she had automatically called him. She cleared her throat and said, “Morning. Thanks.”
Min Yu handed her the cup. “I’m happy to be of service to my girlfriend.”
Huo Yao held the cup and took a few sips. “I’m hungry. Do you have any food?”
“Uh huh.” Min Yu nodded.
Huo Yao thanked him softly. When she raised her head, she saw a laptop on a table nearby. She asked. “Mind if I borrow your computer?”
Min Yu replied, “Go ahead.”
“Thanks,” said Huo Yao. She walked over to the laptop, turned it on, and typed swiftly. Five minutes later, she shut down the laptop.
Before long, the two of them went downstairs.
Huo Yao sat in the dining room, eating porridge as she called Chen Ming.
Chen Ming had been waiting at the hospital. “Young Master Yulin’s condition has stabilized.”
Huo Yao nodded. She was unsurprised by this outcome and simply said, “Keep me posted.”
“Yes, Miss Huo. Take care.”
Chen Ming saw the hospital president walking over in the corridor and quickly hung up the phone.
