Huo Yunshen sat by the little boy, and he kissed his forehead.
“I see… Daddy just asked the doctors, and they said they will have to perform a surgery very soon. You’ll become better. I promise,” Huo Yunshen said, comforting him.
Little Grape did not reply and kept staring at his father quietly.
“Do you want anything? Just tell me, and I’ll get it for you,” Huo Yunshen said.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Then… I want Auntie Xiaoxi.”
“…”
Huo Yunshen did not expect that the little kid would think of that woman even in that situation.
The little kid had his mother’s stubbornness.
“I got it. I’ll bring her over after you have your rest, okay?”
With that, Little Grape closed his eyes obediently and fell asleep.
Huo Yunshen was surprised that mentioning Jin Xiaoxi was enough to tame the troubled kid.
He could not understand why that woman was so important to the little kid, even much more important than his father.
Since Huo Yunshen still had to take care of national affairs, he needed someone that he could rely on to take care of the little boy.
The only person he could think of was Lan Yi. She was the one who had brought Little Grape up, and there was no better person to take the job.
He went to look for Lan Yi, and she instantly agreed when she learned that the prince was sick.
“Forgive me for what I’ve done,” Huo Yunshen said, apologizing.
He had used his power to kick Lan Yi out from the palace and thought that she would hate him for that. But instead, she didn’t and even agreed instantly to take her post back.
“You don’t have to apologize,” Lan Yi said, smiling. “I owe my life to you. I would even jump into lava if you asked me to.”
“Thank you, thank you so much… I’ll leave Hanghang in your hands then.”
“Leave it to me,” Lan Yi said. “My liege, can I make a request? I hope you can fulfill the prince’s wish while he’s still in the hospital…”
Huo Yunshen realized he had to face the fact that he had to rehire Jin Xiaoxi if he wanted to fulfill his promise.
Huo Yunshen did not want to meet with Jin Xiaoxi if possible.
But when he thought that the little kid might not even make it to the New Year, he had to put his hatred aside.
Huo Yunshen quickly ordered someone to go and invite Jin Xiaoxi back to the palace.
A group of people from the palace arrived at Jing Xi’s home by evening.
When Jing Xi’s foster father opened the door, he was shocked to see a group of people in uniforms with the Dragon Kingdom’s emblem on them.
Jin Hongsheng thought that they were the police and that his son had gotten into huge trouble. It wasn’t until they asked about Jin Xiaoxi that Jin Hongsheng realized that that wasn’t the case.
The old man quickly ran to get his foster daughter.
The moment Jing Xi saw the group of people, she immediately knew they were from the palace.
“What do you want? Is it the money?”
