Huo Beijiang's steps were steady but swift, seemingly teleporting from the end of the hallway to where the three stood within a blink of an eye.
Facing his overwhelming presence, the three maintained an instinctive silence, unsure of what to say. However, before they could speak, Huo Linong stood up first.
"Bei Jiang!" Huo Linong croaked out, "Nan Fei has just been admitted to the Emergency Room, they're trying to save her."
Huo Beijiang stared straight at his father without speaking, using all of his self-control to suppress the torrent of rage coursing within him, a rage powerful enough to destroy everything.
Each breath he took caused a piercing pain in his chest.
The woman he cherished, the one he had cradled in his hand and carefully placed on the very edge of his heart, the woman he would cast away his pride as a man just to treat well, was now lying critically ill in the Emergency Room.
How was he supposed to accept such a reality?
