Chapter 1958: Chapter 440: It’s Okay, I’m Here (3)
Actually, there’s no need to guess the content of the call; the current situation is quite optimistic.
The Huo Family has completed a perfect turnaround.
Until Huo Zun received a familiar call. Hesitating for a moment, he was about to hang up when Hua Nuan pursed her lips and spoke.
"Answer it."
Huo Zun: "..."
Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes looked at the flickering screen of the man’s phone, and she curled her lips.
"If you really didn’t want to answer, you would have hung up right away. So, when you hesitate, it means you actually want to pick it up deep down."
The woman’s insight made Huo Zun smile.
"Hmm."
Hua Nuan took the initiative to help the man connect the call, gesturing for him to use the Bluetooth headset, and then gently said, "No need to thank me, I’m just being a good Samaritan."
Seeing the little girl’s sweet smile was irresistibly cute, a hint of depth flashed in Huo Zun’s blue eyes as he gazed deeply at her.
Hua Nuan is vengeful, but also considerate.
"Okay."
...
Hua Nuan stayed quiet, not interrupting the man’s call.
The call was from Isabella. With such a significant event, Huo Zun was somewhat concerned that the old lady might not be able to handle it.
After all, she’s in her eighties.
After all, blood ties cannot be denied.
However, once Huo Zun connected the call, he immediately became serious.
"When did it happen?"
"Hmm, I’ll get there soon."
After finishing, Huo Zun quickly hung up the phone, then looked at Hua Nuan, pursed his lips, and spoke.
"Grandma just had a sudden brain hemorrhage and was taken to Yuncheng Hospital for emergency treatment."
Upon hearing this, Hua Nuan’s expression slightly changed.
"Let’s go quickly and check on her."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun quickly turned the car around and headed towards Yuncheng Hospital.
Hua Nuan furrowed her beautiful eyes. How could a brain hemorrhage happen so suddenly for no apparent reason?
Most likely, the incident with Huo Si was too much for the old lady to bear.
Could it also be because of the Huo Family’s matters?
Hua Nuan’s expression turned serious, noticing Huo Zun’s unpleasant expression, knowing that the man was likely worried deep down.
Hua Nuan gently raised her hand and placed it on the back of the man’s hand, smiling softly, "Don’t worry, with the current advanced medical technology, nothing will happen to Grandma."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun lightly curled his lips, his blue eyes darkened, sarcastically remarking.
"Even though I resent her in many ways, it feels awful to hear that something’s happened to her."
Seeing the man’s troubled blue eyes, Hua Nuan tried even harder to comfort him.
"It’s just a child’s heart; after all, you didn’t want this for Grandma either... Everyone clings to different things in their hearts. She cares about the Huo Family and the company; you care about emotions, that’s all."
"There’s no need to torture yourself."
"Hmm."
Feeling the soft back of her hand resting on his own, Huo Zun’s expression improved a bit, but still looked a little grim.
...
By the time Huo Zun and Hua Nuan arrived at the hospital, the old lady had already been taken to the operating room.
The butler, who had brought the old lady to the hospital, anxiously approached Huo Zun as soon as he saw him arrive.
"Young Master, you’re finally here."
"How is Grandma doing now?"
"Uh... she’s already in emergency treatment. It’s been said that there’s a high chance of a stroke or paralysis, and possibly even cognitive impairment."
Huo Zun was aware of these basic medical facts.
After all, as people age, a brain hemorrhage can bring with it a slew of complications.
"When did it happen?"
"It was after you left that Madam received a call... The news about the young master reached the United Kingdom, and because he had marketed anti-cancer drugs on the black market in Europe, which were all semi-finished products, it caused significant harm, leading the Royal Family to decide to revoke your grandmother’s royal title, as well as Master Huo Si’s, leaving only yours."
Considering Huo Zun’s significant impact on the economic development of Europe, he served as a pillar for its economic industry.
Thus, his royal title would not be revoked; on the contrary, he might even be given additional honors and titles.
Huo Zun’s blue eyes darkened.
Standing beside him, Hua Nuan, having clearly heard the English exchange between the two men, tentatively asked.
"So, you mean the old lady had a sudden brain hemorrhage because her royal title was revoked?"
"Yes."
Hua Nuan: "..."
This is truly ironic.
What Isabella desired most and fought hardest to protect her whole life ended up costing her life.
In the end... the blow of having her grandson imprisoned was not as severe as the collapse of the Huo Family and her own downfall being more important.
Hua Nuan was at a loss for words, knowing that Huo Zun was feeling uncomfortable, she spoke up soothingly, "Let’s sit down and wait for a bit, I’m sure we’ll have news soon."
"Hmm."
With the woman’s comforting words, Huo Zun’s expression improved slightly, a faint smile tugged at his lips. He reached out and grasped Hua Nuan’s small hand, sitting together with her in front of the emergency room.
The butlers were anxious, unable to resist speaking up.
"Young Master, maybe you should step in and help. With your current influence, you could definitely turn things around, and it would be beneficial for the old lady’s condition."
Upon hearing the butler’s suggestion, a cold smile curved at the corners of Huo Zun’s mouth.
"No need for that. Material possessions can’t be taken with us when we die; I believe Grandma doesn’t need them. What she needs now is to let go. Once obtained, she’ll think of ways to get more, dragging the Huo Family higher and higher. In the end, having nothing might actually be better."
Butler: "..."
The butler hesitated upon hearing Huo Zun’s words, but after a moment of contemplation, agreed with him.
"Yes, Young Master, as you say."
With years of experience working in the Huo Family, he knew that following the Young Master’s direction never went wrong.
"Hmm."
...
Time slowly ticked by.
Neither Hua Nuan nor Huo Zun had lunch, and worried that the little girl might be hungry, Huo Zun ordered takeout.
Hua Nuan ate a little and coaxed Huo Zun into having some as well before stopping.
The surgical result came out at 3 in the afternoon.
Isabella was transferred directly to the Intensive Care Unit from the emergency room.
Huo Zun furrowed his blue eyes; the head surgeon was a professor-level medical professional from the Huo Family. Their actions indicated that the woman’s condition was likely grave.
"Mr. Huo, the old lady’s brain hemorrhage was severe. Barely holding onto life, she might... suffer from cognitive impairment in the future. She currently has no ability to take care of herself and is paralyzed. We need her to be hospitalized for observation for three months."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun’s expression was solemn as he took the medical report from the doctor’s hand, his blue eyes darkening.
All indicators were low; her condition was indeed poor.
He wondered if this was retribution...
With a bitter smile at the corners of his mouth, Huo Zun turned to Hua Nuan, who softly addressed the doctor, "Thank you for your efforts."
"It’s no problem, Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, we will do our best."
"Okay."
Gently, Hua Nuan extended her small hand to hug the man’s waist, her voice soft and comforting.
"I know you’re feeling troubled, but it’s okay, I’m here..."
