When Gu Ruochu arrived at the Huo residence, Nanny Zhang looked at her strangely and asked, "Where's the Young Master?"
"He's on his way." Gu Ruochu changed her shoes at the entrance. "Nanny Zhang, you should go to bed early. Huo Nanchen might be home late."
Nanny Zhang was a little confused. Even if she went to bed, she wouldn't get any sleep because she was worried about the couple.
At the hospital, Huo Nanchen watched as the doctor changed the dressing on Chengxi's arm.
The child was in so much pain that he broke into a cold sweat. However, he did not cry. Even the doctor felt that Cheng Xi was strong.
"Mr. Huo, try not to let the child touch this arm."
Huo Nanchen nodded. The doctor went out to get some medicine. Huo Nanchen lit a cigarette as he waited for him in the corridor.
His expression relaxed as he took a few puffs of the cigarette.
"Thank you, Nanchen." Ning Tangxi walked out with a smile on her face. "I lost my mind at your house and caused trouble. I'm really sorry. I heard from Lan Nuo that you and Gu Ruochu quarreled. If your wife is uncomfortable about our relationship, I'll apologize."
"Don't ask about other people's marriages."
Huo Nanchen's words felt like a needle pricking at Ning Tangxi's nerves. It was easy to notice his contempt, and he did not say another word to her.
Ning Tangxi was speechless.
Soon, the doctor came out of the ward and walked towards them. "Mr. Huo, I've already helped the child change his medicine. Remember to pay attention to the child's arm. There's nothing else."
Huo Nanchen nodded as he went back into the ward. Cheng Xi was already asleep on the hospital bed.
He looked at the child's peaceful sleeping face. His deep, dark eyes had a hint of loving emotion. "I'll come back to see the child tomorrow."
"All right."
Ning Tangxi smiled and nodded as she watched him turn around and leave.
When he got into his car, Huo Nanchen called Gu Ruochu and patiently waited for her to pick up. He called her two consecutive times, but she did not pick up. His brows furrowed.
The phone was finally answered on the third attempt. Huo Nanchen was unhappy, and he was breathing more heavily. "Why are you only picking up the call now?"
On the other end of the line, Huo Nanchen heard Nanny Zhang's hesitant voice. "Young Master, why are you in such a hurry to find the Young Madam?"
"Where is she?"
Nanny Zhang awkwardly glanced upstairs and answered, "The Young Madam has gone upstairs to sleep. She left her phone on the living room sofa, so I picked it up on her behalf."
If Huo Nanchen had not kept calling Gu Ruochu's phone, Nanny Zhang wouldn't have picked up the call since she did not want to interfere with the Young Madam's privacy.
"I understand."
Huo Nanchen wondered if Gu Ruochu had left her phone in the living room on purpose.
Nanny Zhang sensed that the Young Master was unhappy, and she was a little confused. "I'll hang up now, Young Master. Come back soon."
In the upstairs master bedroom, Gu Ruochu had slept soundly. When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was daylight in the room. Her body also felt a little sore.
"Are you thirsty?"
Gu Ruochu was still in a daze. Her mind was foggy, and she was surprised when someone handed her a glass of water.
She subconsciously opened her mouth and took a few sips.
When Gu Ruochu regained her senses, she saw Huo Nanchen's face. Her voice was a little hoarse. "Why are you here?
"What time is it?" Her mind was still a little muddled.
"It's ten in the morning." Huo Nanchen took the glass of water from her and put it down.
