An Xiaowan must return to the Huo Residence for treatment. The servants then report to him about her injuries.
She was not seeking for his sympathy. She only wanted him to know that she was truly injured this afternoon.
Susan sent An Xiaowan back to the villa.
The quiet courtyard was a sign for An Xiaowan that Huo Shen was not back.
It didn't matter anyway, Assistant Luo or the butler would report everything to him.
An Xiaowan let the servants help her as she slowly walked to her room. After the door was closed, she took out her phone and saw a text message from Xia Duo:
"—It's my birthday next Wednesday. Xiaowan, will you come?"
An e-invitation was also attached at the end of the message.
An Xiaowan was surprised to see the message from Xia Duo, inviting her to the banquet.
