Huo Sicheng’s deep slanted eyes intently gazed at Qin Chong.
He gently tapped his slender fingers on the armrest intermittently.
The doctors he had sent immediately left the room, leaving only him and Qin Chong inside.
“Sicheng?” Qin Chong’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like rusted iron, “You said you had something to say, or do you want me to speak first?”
Huo Sicheng’s wheelchair slowly moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the beautiful sunset and the glorious twilight.
After a while, he spoke in a deep voice, “The day after tomorrow is your birthday.”
Qin Chong paused, then revealed a weak smile.
“Sicheng, I’m touched that you remember my birthday. You brought the doctors today to save me, hoping that I can have a healthy birthday.”
“Yes, I hope you can have a healthy birthday,” Huo Sicheng replied, hinting at something more, “But my coming here isn’t just to treat your illness. Firstly, you asked for me, and secondly, the day after tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents’ deaths. After your birthday, you can accompany me to Mt.
Dragon.”
Hearing Huo Sicheng mention the anniversary of his parents’ deaths and invite to to Mt. Dragon Cemetery, Qin Chong’s face stiffened slightly before returning to calm.
“Of course, I go every year to your parents’ anniversary. Even without your reminder, I would have gone to visit them.”
“You have a good heart,” Huo Sicheng commented, “The two doctors I brought today will stay here. They will be fully responsible for your future treatments.”
“Sicheng, why are you doing this?” Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng, “We had unpleasant disagreements before, and now you suddenly treat me this well. I’m flattered.”
“Today, your aunt called me, saying you were in critical condition and urgently wanted to see me. Only then did I realize that despite our many disagreements, I couldn’t let you come to harm,” Huo Sicheng said, his dark, profound eyes betraying no emotion, “The doctors I sent are from my group’s medical research on a new drug. It is not available on the market, and it was only provided to the king of Y country. You are the second user. You don’t have to worry about the drug’s efficacy. It will definitely cure your illness, repairing your heart function. If you stick to the treatment, you will recover.”
Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng in shock.
He couldn’t believe that after spending so much money and seeing so many doctors over the years, none of them compared to the medicine Huo Sicheng brought today.
The doctors treating him had only been able to stabilize his condition. Even heart bypass surgery couldn’t save his heart.
Unless he had a heart transplant, he was beyond help.
Huo Sicheng’s medicine became his only lifeline.
The most painful thing in the world is being ill, especially with an illness that makes life worse than death.
He needed Huo Sicheng to save him, desperately.
“Sicheng, is this true? Can my heart really recover?”
Huo Sicheng affirmed, “Yes.”
Upon receiving Huo Sicheng’s confirmation, hope ignited in Qin Chong’s eyes.
“Sicheng, I can give you anything, as long as you can save my life. I want to live, and live healthily.”
“I don’t want anything,” Huo Sicheng said, gazing intently at Qin Chong, “I just want you to live well, healthily.”
Qin Chong was astonished, thinking about their previous conflicts, and said with embarrassment, “Sicheng, you know after you married Ah Jun’s girlfriend, Gu Qingcheng, our relationship became strained. And Qingcheng still holds a grudge against Ah Jun for cheating with Gu Mei. Just a few days ago, she broke Ah Jun’s head, she…”
“I hope you understand, your affairs with my wife are one thing, my relationship with you is another, and my issues with Qin Jun are yet another matter,” Huo Sicheng indicated, “Each matter should be clearly distinguished. If everything is mixed together, it becomes a tangled mess that’s hard to resolve.”
Qin Chong liked Huo Sicheng’s words, hoping their grievances could be clearly separated so he could focus on his recovery.
“Sicheng, you are so sensible,” he said with a kind face, “You’ve been sensible since you were young. The death of your parents hit you hard, and I’ve been worried about you for many years. I introduced many high-profile ladies to you, hoping you would marry early, but you refused them all.
“I was worried and anxious about your marriage. After all, you are the sole heir to the Huo family. If you don’t marry and have no heirs, I would feel guilty towards your deceased parents. It was only when you married Gu Qingcheng that I realized you had been refusing all those ladies for years just to marry
her, showing you’ve liked her for a long time.
“Because I knew you liked her for a long time, I disliked Gu Qingcheng even more. However, marrying Gu Qingcheng was your choice. No matter how much I dislike her, no matter how angry I am, I understand that Gu Qingcheng is no less than other high-profile ladies, and as the Gu family’s daughter, marrying you is fitting for your status.
“Since your marriage, your affectionate appearances don’t seem pretentious, and I am relieved. At least you have your own family now. I can face your parents.
“What comforts me the most is that despite our conflicts, you are still willing to save me, your cousin. I am very grateful to you.”
At this moment, Yi Shui, standing not far away, listened to Qin Chong’s words and had to admit that Qin Chong was playing the emotional card well!
He looked deeply at Huo Sicheng, wondering how the man would react.
Huo Sicheng’s dark, profound eyes stared at Qin Chong. “Saving my cousin is what I, as a cousin, should do. As you said, after my parents died, I appreciate your many years of care.”
Qin Chong was initially pleased to hear Huo Sicheng say this but then suddenly remembered what Huo Sicheng said to him on the night of the engagement party. He sensed an underlying meaning in Huo Sicheng’s words and his expression stiffened.
“Sicheng, ever since your parents died, I have been sincerely good to you as your cousin, without any wrongdoing. You must not misunderstand me.” Huo Sicheng remained silent, just gazing at Qin Chong.
Qin Chong felt uneasy under Huo Sicheng’s penetrating gaze, his long and narrow slanted eyes seemed like bottomless vortexes, swirling with a sense of storm and devouring, making him uncomfortable and avoiding Huo Sicheng’s gaze.
He felt quite guilty and forcedly said with earnestness, “Sicheng, I haven’t forgotten what you said to me on the night of the engagement party. I’ve always wanted to talk to you alone, until today when I felt I might die, I had your aunt call you to see me.”
He paused before continuing, “I didn’t want to die with regrets, especially regarding you. I can’t let you misunderstand me. I have taken care of you wholeheartedly, I have lived up to your deceased parents.”
“You are a patient today, especially with a heart problem, I don’t want to have a dispute with you…” Huo Sicheng’s eyes sharpened as he stared at Qin Chong,
“But when you say you haven’t wronged me, do you believe your own words?”
Qin Chong was shocked, “Sicheng, what…. what do you mean by that?”
