"Need not!"

However, Mr. Huo hastily called out to stop Yan Xi. He clutched his heart and panted in pain. He pointed at the bookcase with trembling fingers, "There is medicine on the second floor of the bookcase, just bring it to me."

Yan Xi followed suit one by one, quickly brought a glass of warm water, and sent them to Mr. Huo together.

Mr. Huo swallowed the medicine together with the water. The action was so hasty that the water overflowed from his lips.Seeing that Mr. Huo gradually regained his composure, Yan Xi was relieved to help him up.

Mr. Huo was sitting on the reclining chair, his face was still pale, his face was always stern throughout the year, and it was rare for him to show a trace of crispness in front of Yan Xi, "Thank you."

"Grandpa, I'll call the doctor now."

Mr. Huo's situation just now was obviously not right, Yan Xi was still more worried about his body.

Mr. Huo was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's useless to shout." There seemed to be something unspeakable.

"master!"

The butler came late, and when he saw the medicine next to Mr. Huo's hand, he knew that his condition had flared up again. He hurried over, "Sorry, I'm late."

"fine."

Mr. Huo waved his hand, begging the housekeeper to be ill when he went out to do errands, and this illness happened at the right time, "You all go out, I want to rest for a while."

Yan Xi opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just nodded, "Okay."

Mr. Huo slowly closed his eyes, and sighed silently. A long time ago, his body suffered from an irreparable illness. He was able to live for such a long time, all thanks to the medicine prescribed by the doctor to support the last candle of life.

But medicine is not a panacea after all, and it cannot last for too long.

Yan Xi left the inner hall, she turned around, and suddenly stopped the housekeeper, "What does the doctor say about the old man's body?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and answered impeccably, "Mrs., the master is currently actively cooperating with the doctor's order to rest and rest. There is nothing serious."

"Don't lie to me."

Yan Xi pursed her lips slightly, "Just now I witnessed the old man's illness attack with my own eyes, it's not that simple."

The housekeeper was silent, and then he sighed, "Master's health is indeed not as good as before, and the doctor has been trying to treat him, I can only reveal so much."

There are too many things that he doesn't want to talk about.

It's that Mr. Huo is unwilling to spread the word. After being with Mr. Huo for so many years, the housekeeper still doesn't know his temper. How can an arrogant person let others know his fragility.

Even if the housekeeper didn't reveal too much, Yan Xi vaguely guessed something.

She narrowed her eyes and did not continue to press the question, "Okay, I see."

The butler bowed slightly to Yan Xi, and Mr. Huo's voice came from the inner hall again: "Butler, you'd better come in."

"Excuse me, young mistress." After the butler finished speaking, he immediately turned and walked into the inner room.

I saw Mr. Huo holding his forehead with his hands, his face was calm, and he said calmly: "Get me a pen and paper, and call the lawyer over by the way."

The butler's mind was concentrated, he lowered his head slightly, his voice trembled imperceptibly, "Understood, master."

Outside, Yan Xi stood there for a while, then slowly turned and left.

Her face is full of thoughts. Mr. Huo's situation just now may be worse than what the housekeeper said.

As soon as he thought of this, a terrible thought immediately appeared in his mind, Yan Xi patted his head, no, it's not that bad.

Yan Xi stopped and stood on the stairs like a sculpture for a long time.

She gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to turn around, and wanted to rush to the inner room.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Mr. Huo standing behind her with a cane at some point, she was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Grandpa, why did you come out?"

Mr. Huo's face was calm, and he even smiled slightly. He stared at Yan Xi leisurely, "I know you, little girl, will definitely want to ask me about what happened just now."

Look, he really guessed it.

Yan Xi coughed lightly, and was spotted by Mr. Huo at a glance. In this case, she didn't try to hide it, and looked at Mr. Huo seriously, "Grandpa, can you tell me?"

It all depends on Mr. Huo's wishes.

If he doesn't want to, Yan Xi won't force it, everyone has a secret they want to keep.

Mr. Huo looked her up and down, "You are so impolite." Then he turned around, "Come here."

The unexpected reaction made Yan Xi stunned for a moment, then she immediately came back to her senses and hurriedly followed Mr. Huo downstairs.

Mr. Huo was sitting on the sofa in the living room, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the window with a dazed expression, as if he was trapped in memories and couldn't extricate himself.

Yan Xi stood in front of Mr. Huo, waiting patiently for him to speak.

"Yan Xi, once this person gets old, he will be overwhelmed by any illness." Mr. Huo said hoarsely, he said it easily, but only he knew the hardships involved, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normality of life, is also part of the life cycle of nature. You don't have to worry too much about it."

Mr. Huo didn't say too much, he knew that with the intelligence of a little girl like Yan Xi, he must have guessed the meaning of his words.

Yan Xi closed her eyes, and the bitterness gradually diffused from the tip of her tongue. She opened her mouth and agreed with difficulty: "Okay, I know the old man."

Mr. Huo stared at Yan Xi for a long time with deep eyes, "Yan Xi, I didn't like you very much before."

Of course she knew this.

Yan Xi smiled bitterly.

"At that time, I was thinking, you are cowardly and cowardly, like a wimp, how can you deserve to be with Jing Chi?"

Yan Xi coughed lightly, and Youyou protested, "Grandpa, this sentence is a bit too much."

Mr. Huo smiled, "This was all my initial thought, and now I have changed my view of you." But after getting along slowly, he discovered more and more the bright spots hidden in Yan Xi, she is different.

Otherwise, Jing Chi wouldn't hesitate to stand against him for her sake.

Yan Xi was deeply framed and was not trusted by everyone, and only Jing Chi stood by her side.And Yan Xi didn't disappoint Jing Chi's trust in the end, and fought back very beautifully.

Mr. Huo had to sigh, Jing Chi's vision is really good.

Unexpectedly, being praised metaphorically by Mr. Huo, Yan Xi was a little surprised, and joy came to her heart. At this moment, she really realized that Mr. Huo recognized her.

"I hope you can keep what happened today a secret from Jing Chi."

This is also the reason why Mr. Huo took the initiative to find Yan Xi, "Jing Chi is now taking over the Huo family and is very busy every day. I don't want my affairs to affect him."

Unless it is necessary.

"it is good."

Yan Xi nodded, she closed her eyes, her heart ached, "I understand this, Grandpa."

Mr. Huo nodded in relief, he stood up, leaning on his crutches and said, "Then I'll go back first."

Yan Xi stared at the back of Mr. Huo leaving, the hands beside her clenched into fists, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, you will live a long life."
