At this moment, the two women’s legs were sore and painful. Xiao Yue simply took off her shoes, but she did not expect that because she had walked too long, the friction of her shoes made a few blisters appear on her feet.

Xiao Yue cried out in pain. “Pfft… It hurts.”

Huo Zhou reprimanded him angrily. “You deserve it. Who asked you to wear high heels when shopping?”

When Huo Xiaoran saw Xiao Yue’s bloody toes, he looked at Qiao An’s feet uneasily. It would have been better if he didn’t look, but he was so nervous that his heart clenched.

Qiao An was actually wearing flat leather shoes that wrapped tightly around her slender jade-like feet, revealing the beautiful and charming instep.

However, there were already faint traces of blood seeping through the leather shoes.

“An’an, your feet…”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Qiao An waved her hand forcefully.

Huo Xiaoran squatted down and took off Qiao An’s shoes. However, he saw that Qiao An’s five toes were pressed together and were in a bad shape.

Huo Xiaoran looked at her incredulously and teased her, “Your nervous system is malfunctioning and you call this fine?”

Qiao An mumbled, “I’m used to it.”

Huo Xiaoran was stunned and his nose turned sour.

This girl could have had the life of a princess, but she insisted on living like a pauper.

Huo Xiaoran carefully took off her socks for her and said, “Wait for me. I’ll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine.”

Then he hurried away.

Mrs. Lu looked at Qiao An from afar, her eyes almost spewing fire. However, Qiao An was here to visit her daughter in the hospital. No matter how unhappy she was with her, she could only endure it.

However, Mother Lu was really enthusiastic about Xiao Yue.

“Aiya, Miss Xiao Yue, you said that your foot is injured, but you still came to visit my Momo. I have to thank you on behalf of my Momo.”

Xiao Yue looked at Mrs. Lu. She had come with Qiao An, but she only flattered her and ignored Qiao An. Xiao Yue was unhappy and said, “Don’t thank me. I accompanied Sister Qiao An to visit Lu Mo.”

Mrs. Lu’s expression was ugly. Xiao Yue did not give her any respect.

However, she was a veteran in the ways of the world. She immediately tried to save her dignity and mocked Qiao An coldly, “Qiao An, are you really here to see my Lu Mo? In my opinion, you’re here to trouble my Xiaoran.”

This was tantamount to directly mocking Qiao An for being a mistress.

Huo Zhou was worried for Qiao An. Mrs. Lu was aggressive, and he wondered if she could handle it.

He heard that Qiao An hated mistresses the most. How could she bear it when Mother Lu wronged her?

Unexpectedly, Qiao An laughed instead of being angry. She looked at Mrs. Lu innocently. “Mrs. Lu, are you afraid that I’ll snatch your son-in-law away?”

Mrs. Lu’s face darkened and she said nothing.

Qiao An took it as a yes and said, “Mrs. Lu doesn’t seem to have much confidence in her son-in-law.”

These words had a deep meaning. Mrs. Lu immediately felt like she had been stung by a wasp and almost jumped up.

“Qiao An, what do you mean?”

Qiao An looked at her steadily, her gaze growing colder. “Do I need to spell it out? Then I will?”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Huo Zhou, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

“I won’t argue with you, girl. My Momo is still lying in a hospital bed.” She cleverly changed the topic.

Qiao An smiled faintly.

Not long after, Huo Xiaoran returned with an iodophor cotton swab and a band-aid.

When he disinfected Qiao An, she snatched the cotton bud from his hand and said, “Brother Xiaoran, I’ll do it myself.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Are you doubting my skills? Don’t forget that I was once a doctor.”

Qiao An said, “I’m afraid your mother-in-law will be jealous.”

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned and continued without looking up, “Not yet.”

Mrs. Lu’s face turned green.

However, she could not figure out Huo Xiaoran’s mistake. After all, Huo Xiaoran was not close to anyone. No matter how warm she was to him and how she claimed to be his mother, Huo Xiaoran was very distant and cold to her.

She didn’t know why.

Huo Xiaoran carefully disinfected Qiao An’s wound and bandaged it.

Qiao An’s heart was warm. For the first time, she truly felt Brother Xiaoran’s kindness to her. It was as if she was seeing the solemn youth from five years ago who had sworn to her, “I, Angel Thunderbolt Blade, will never let Qiao An down in this life.”

She’d been naughty then, too, and liked to tease him. “Brother, what if I bully you?”

“Then I can only blame myself for not teaching you. What else can I do?”

Qiao An’s eyes moistened inexplicably.

However, Mrs. Lu said sarcastically, “Xiaoran, you have a fiancée. Shouldn’t you and Qiao An avoid suspicion?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her coldly and said faintly, “If it weren’t for me, would Li Changhai have hurt Qiao An?”

His interrogative tone made her shiver.

“Me and the Lu family, we owe Qiao An. Qiao An didn’t cause you trouble, but you’re here making sarcastic remarks.”

Mrs. Lu was ashamed.

Huo Xiaoran’s blatant favoritism towards Qiao An did not make her feel smug. Instead, it made her feel even more ashamed.

However, her shame was different from Mrs. Lu’s guilty conscience. She hated herself for not trusting Huo Xiaoran in the past and putting him in a desperate situation where his body and soul were torn apart.

After Huo Xiaoran treated Qiao An’s wound, Xiao Yue stretched out her feet. “Cousin, there’s still mine.”

Huo Xiaoran handed the disinfectant to Huo Zhou. “Treat Yueyue’s wound.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded. “I won’t.”

Huo Xiaoran glared at him. “Didn’t I teach you just now? Don’t tell me you didn’t learn it.”

Huo Zhou took the supplies gloomily. He was afraid that if he said that he could not learn it, Huo Xiaoran would definitely not be able to say anything good with his vicious tongue.

Just then, the emergency room door opened.

The doctor walked out. It was Father Lu.

Qiao An and Xiao Yue stood up in unison. Huo Xiaoran turned around and looked at them suspiciously. “Sit properly.”

Qiao An and Xiao Yue looked at each other and sat down reluctantly.

Mr. Lu walked up to Huo Xiaoran and shook his head helplessly. “Her condition is temporarily under control. It’s just that she doesn’t seem to be sensitive to medicine.”

Mrs. Lu immediately cried. “Isn’t Momo’s condition under control? Why did it suddenly worsen?”

Mr. Lu said sadly, “The survival of all critically ill patients is unpredictable. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Mrs. Lu immediately broke down. “How did this happen?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Can we go in and see her?”

Mr. Lu nodded. “Yes.”

Qiao An stood up and asked Father Lu politely, “Can we go in and see Lu Mo too?”

Mr. Lu refused. “I’m sorry, she hasn’t woken up yet. I wouldn’t let too many people disturb her.”
