Chapter 560: 562 Making a Mistake (1)_1
Huo Jinnan’s finger tapped on the lighter, "click-clack—," "click-clack—" several times as he looked towards Huo Bei.
Huo Bei spoke in a low voice, "The high fever hasn’t subsided, it’s still at 41°C. It has led to massive oxygen consumption in the body, causing brain hypoxia, and the necrosis and paralysis of part of the brain’s neural network. This manifests physically as either idiocy or a vegetative state. The doctors have said it’s an irreversible process and have advised the old master to prepare himself mentally. If the fever continues unabated, it could be life-threatening."
Huo Jinnan shook the lighter and watched the flame that leapt up, his gaze deep and dark, "What about the old master?"
Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan, "Sir, the old master has been at the hospital these past few days, exhausted to the point of collapsing several times."
Huo Jinbei closed his eyes, took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a drag, his lips tightly pursed.
Huo Bei stood by, uncertain of the next step and whether to liquidate the funds of Gucheng Group considering those people are Sir’s relatives, though they have not treated Sir well.
After a long while, Huo Jinnan opened his eyes and looked towards Huo Bei, "Continue to do what needs to be done, regardless of whether she ends up truly idiotic, letting her experience what it feels like to be an ordinary person is quite good."
Huo Bei acknowledged with a sound and returned to his own room.
Huo Jinxue listened to the side, suddenly feeling afraid. She glanced at Huo Jinnan, thinking that even though she hated Huo Jinyun and their grandfather, now that Huo Jinyun had become foolish, was Huo Jinbei still not planning to let their older sister off the hook?
If one day she angered Huo Jinbei, would he treat her the same way?
If it were her, she would definitely let it go if she ended up like that!
Che Huan suddenly caught Huo Jinxue’s expression, unsure of what to say. Perhaps she was too young to understand it all. But she was well aware of Huo Jinyun’s temperament; if they let bygones be bygones and allowed Gucheng Group to thrive again, should Huo Jinyun recover or not really be idiotic, it would be hard to tell.
If Huo Jinyun got another chance, she would definitely crush those she hated under her heel.
She looked at Huo Jinnan and smiled at him.
Huo Jinnan received her message and said in a low voice, "Just afraid it might end up benefiting Qin Mochuan instead."
Che Huan frowned, quickly understanding. If Huo Jinyun truly ended up idiotic, Qin Mochuan could push all the blame onto her, presenting himself merely as an accomplice. With the Qin Family’s power, it would be easy to protect him.
However, that was the worst-case scenario, and things had not degenerated to such a degree. In the future, Qin Mochuan’s position in the Qin Family would not be the same as before.
And for quite a while, he wouldn’t dare cause any more trouble, would he?
Seeing Zhong Qin coming out, Huo Jinnan looked toward her, "Mom, how have you been feeling these days?"
Zhong Qin nodded, "Pretty good."
Noticing Axue’s expression, she looked at Huo Jinxue, "Axue, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Huo Jinxue shook her head and hurriedly responded, "No."
She continued to watch the TV series, still somewhat absent-minded. If it had been Jinbei, what would he have done? Would he have acted like her, or like Jinnan?
Huo Jinnan glanced at Huo Jinxue and then focused on Zhong Qin, "Mom, Huo Jinyun might have turned into an idiot."
Zhong Qin paused for a few seconds, then responded indifferently, "If she’s become an idiot, then so be it. Good and evil will eventually come to light; it’s not that there’s no retribution, but the time hasn’t come."
Huo Jinxue sat there motionless, staring at the TV screen but not actually watching it!
