Huo Yulin was staying in a special hospital ward and no other patients had been allowed on this floor.
After entering the room, Huo Yao took Huo Yulin’s pulse. His pulse was a lot more stable than before the surgery, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
“How is he, Miss Huo?” Chen Ming hurriedly asked when Huo Yao was done with the examination.
Huo Yao looked at him. “He’s fine. He’ll probably regain consciousness tomorrow.”
“That’s great,” said Chen Ming happily.
Huo Yao retrieved a bottle of medicine from her pocket and handed it to Chen Ming. “I won’t be coming tomorrow. Make sure he takes one pill a day. It has to be mixed with water.”
Chen Ming nodded and put away the medicine carefully. “I understand.”
Huo Yao acknowledged softly. She turned to look at the patient lying on the hospital bed and said, “Uncle Ming, can we go outside? I’d like to have a word with you.”
Chen Ming knew what Huo Yao was going to ask him, so he stepped outside with her. He said, “Young Master Yulin genuinely joined the academy for special reasons, but I can’t give you all the details. I’m really sorry.”
Huo Yao went quiet for a few seconds and asked, “Did my third older brother come back just so he could get into the academy?”
Chen Ming shook his head. “Nope. He was planning to come back anyway.”
Huo Yao nodded. She pondered and asked, “Does this have anything to do with my uncle?”
Chen Ming lowered his head without saying a word.
……
Huo Yao did not continue probing. “Fine. Got it.”
Chen Ming looked at Huo Yao hesitantly. In reality, it was no big deal to tell Huo Yao about the matter. However, he finally realized why Huo Yulin was so adamant about involving his little sister ever since Huo Yulin got hurt. He agreed that Huo Yao should be kept out of certain family matters.
It was better for her to just take care of the family business.
Huo Yao did not stay at the hospital for long. After bringing the medicine over, she drove home.

Sure enough, Huo Yulin regained consciousness at around 10:00 am the next morning.
Since Huo Yao said Huo Yulin would regain consciousness today, Chen Ming had been waiting at the hospital ward. The moment Huo Yulin woke up, he called the hospital president and asked him to come over.
The hospital president examined Huo Yulin again. He was very amazed by his speed of recovery. He decided to remove the ventilator and other medical equipment.
After Chen Ming gave Huo Yulin some updates, he quickly left so that Huo Yulin could rest.
Huo Yulin did not expect himself to survive. When the hospital president came over to examine him, he remained stunned the entire time.
He slowly raised his hands and wanted to touch his chest. Since he was still very weak, he could only place it back on top of the blanket limply.
Chen Ming thought he wanted something, so he quickly asked. “Young Master Yulin, do you want a drink?”
Huo Yulin turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Ming. He asked hoarsely. “Did you tell Yao about it?”
