But she was not hungry at all right now. She really can’t digest food nor did she have the appetite to do so. Her head was still dizzy, and she will probably vomit everything she eats.

“I don’t want to eat.” Huo Wu acted like a spoiled child while she blinked her big misty eyes at him.

Huo Yusen had a headache as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

He felt that he had never faced anything that was as difficult as the current situation in the 25 years he’d lived.

Huo Yusen could only admit defeat under her adorable puppy eyes. He sighed softly and sat down by the bed again, “I won’t leave.”

Huo Wu relaxed after hearing Huo Yusen’s promise not to leave.

She was holding the cuff of his sleeve firmly.

She felt that as long as she held onto him, she would no longer be afraid.

Huo Wu’s body was very weak right now. She laid on the soft cotton-like bed and fell fast asleep after a while.

Perhaps she knew that Huo Yusen was sitting beside her, so this time, she didn’t dream of anything horrible.

Instead, her dream was quiet and peaceful.

She dreamed of the happiest moments in her youth.

Her parents had died early, so she lived in the countryside with her grandma as a child.

The countryside was simple, and the environment was beautiful. The people living in the countryside were honest and enthusiastic.

When she wasn’t attending class, she will go on a picnic, fly a kite, or catch loaches with her friends.

There were various fun activities to do throughout the four seasons.

That time of her life was the happiest she had ever been in the short 24 years she had lived.

It was because her grandma was still alive, and she also had many honest friends.

The dream was very sweet.

Her dream was full of carefree and happy peals of laughter from her and her friends.

Huo Yusen gently pulled his hand away from Huo Wu’s hand once she fell fast asleep. Then, he walked quietly out of the room.

After he closed the door, he took out his phone and called his assistant, “I need to know what happened to my younger sister recently. From her birth till now, I want you to investigate everything. After you gather all the information, put it on my office desk.”

The person on the other end of the phone hurriedly responded, “Okay, Eldest Young Master.”

Huo Yusen’s expression turned cold after making the phone call.

Although the Huo Family was powerful, it was not unshakable. A powerful family will always attract enemies.

It was unknown how many people had their eyes on the Huo Family, trying to plot their downfall.

During the short period he had returned to China, many people already started making their moves.

Huo Yusen pondered over how Huo Wu was acting abnormally recently and couldn’t help but think that someone was intentionally causing trouble for Huo Wu.

Thinking of this, Huo Yusen made another call.

The current call was longer than the previous call. After all, there were many aspects that he needed to consider.

After he finished giving his instructions, the turbulent storm raging beneath Huo Yusen’s eyes calmed down and returned to his usual.

When Huo Wu woke up, Huo Yusen was sitting at her bedside with a laptop in hand.

There was no light in the room, so the room was a little dim. The dim light shone on the silver laptop, which reflected on Huo Yusen’s sharp facial features. The reflection of the silver light from the laptop softened his features and gave off an ambiguous feeling.
