Chapter 501

tarily furrowing. "What did you just call me""Brother-in-law," Fu Yan confronted him frankly, "I called you in the front hall earlier. If you forgot, I can remind you again: you are engaged to Huo Jin..."Big brother, how did you get sick" Fu Yan said anxiously.

"Before he was detained, he came to see you. He got a little wet in the cold night and then fell ill because of all the running around he did for your sake. He even went to Fu's ancestral home that day to see you, forcing himself to stay strong."

Fu Yan clenched her phone. No wonder she felt that day her big brother's face wasn't good, just back then she was completely dazed and didn’t ask much of a question. It turned out he had been sick all along.

But...

She didn't want to see him, it was because she had concerns in her heart.

When Huo Yuan was at the Huo Gongguan.

She has cut ties with the Huo family and never wants to step foot in that place again for the rest of her life.

"I'll call Big Brother in a bit. You take good care of him first."

Aji seemed to sense her thoughts. "Mr. Huo moved out of Huo's manor a week ago. He had always wanted to move out, but before that, the old master kept him there."

Fu Yan remembered that Old Master Huo was already paralyzed in bed. She thought Huo Yuan would be with him at Huo's manor, but unexpectedly he moved out.

She started the car, "Send me your location."

Aji was overjoyed. "Good, thank you, Miss YanYan."

Huo Yuan's villa was located in the suburbs. He was a solitary person by nature and didn't enjoy crowded places very much. Although traffic was light during this time and the road was clear, it still took Fu Yan more than an hour to drive there.

Fu Yan got off the carriage, and Aji hurried up to meet her, "Miss Fu Yan, you've worked hard."

"It's nothing, where's Big Brother" Fu Yan followed Aji into the house and changed into slippers in the hallway.

Before Aji could speak, Fu Yan heard a coughing sound coming from a room on the first floor.

She frowned and walked towards the source of the sound. Standing at the door, she saw Huo Yuan sitting in his wheelchair by the floor-to-ceiling window, clenching his fist to his lips, suppressing a cough.

He was already thin, and the weather today was still relatively warm. He was only wearing a thin cashmere sweater. When he coughed, his shoulder blades stuck out, looking incredibly thin and bony.

After a while, he stopped coughing and let out a sigh. "A-Ji, pour me a cup of warm water."

Fu Yan gave Aji a look with her eyes.

"Yes."

Aji handed the water cup to Fu Yan.

Huo Yuan coughed a few times again. A water glass was passed over from his side, and he fixed his gaze on the hand holding the glass. For a moment, he bit his lips tightly, forcing the cough down.

But forgot that the more cough is suppressed, the stronger it rebounds.

He clenched his fist and coughed repeatedly, his chest heaving violently.

A soft hand patted lightly on his back a few times, then slid down gently. The voice was worried and anxious, "Are you feeling better"

When Huo Yuan's eyes drooped, they were a little moist. He coughed, his cheeks flushing slightly, making his complexion even worse. A sense of fragility overwhelmed him, and Fu Yan glanced at him, her mind filled only with pity.

"Have you taken your medicine" Fu Yan handed him a cup of water.

He swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, "I have."

Fu Yan silently watched him, three seconds later, Huo Yuan sighed and said to Ajie with his back turned, "Mind your own business."

Aji instantly lowered his head. "Mr. Huo, you scold me and punish me, I admit it all. It was I who told Miss Yanran. If you don't take medicine, how can you get well quickly"

"Why aren't you taking medicine" Fu Yan took the water glass, placed it on the side table, and kept her eyes fixed on Huo Yuan.

Moments later, Huo Yuan's thin lips moved, "Bitter." a beat.She walked to the sofa, sat down, and stared out the window at the overcast sky, thoughtfully saying, "Is he ill""On the edge of danger, I worry he could revert back to his old ways at any mom...
