Chapter 311: Chapter 311 One Life
Both of them looked upstairs simultaneously, and Song Song asked in confusion, "It sounded like someone fell. Could it be that your dad is fighting with my mom?"
"Big brother, let’s go up and take a look!"
Huo Junting really wanted to stop her, because given his father’s feelings for her mother, it was quite difficult for them to get into a fight.
Although it wasn’t a fight, the sound could have been something falling, so it’s better to go up and take a look to be at ease.
The sound came from the master bedroom, where Song Xueqin is currently staying—
As the two walked over, they found the door to the room half-open. Song Song knocked on the door before pushing it open, only to see the two embracing each other. "...Uncle Huo, is everything okay with you and my mom?"
Huo Chen’s expression was a bit tense, "Nothing, what’s the matter?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. We just heard some noise and came to check, glad everything is okay. We’ll be going now."
Song Song made a bunch of gestures at Huo Junting.
She quickly closed the door and clapped her hands, grinning, "Big brother, I didn’t think your dad was so romantic. They’re quite old but still so sweet. Do you think they’ll get married soon at this rate?"
Huo Junting, however, didn’t think so. They were indeed in an embrace just now, but if it was really out of sweetness, his father’s expression wouldn’t have been so serious. It should be happiness instead.
"Big brother, what’s wrong, why aren’t you talking?"
Huo Junting quickly reacted, "Oh, nothing, we better not disturb them."
"Mm-hmm—"
...
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Huo Chen’s expression only got increasingly unpleasant. His hands holding the woman in his arms began to tremble, as he asked hoarsely, "Xue Qin, what, what’s going on?"
"Haha! What’s going on?"
Song Xueqin still had a teasing tone, "It’s just an old kidney transplant, and now there’s a rejection. It’s no big deal. I’ve lived this long already, I think it’s enough."
"Kidney transplant?"
Those three words instantly sent Huo Chen into Hell. He instinctively held her tightly in his arms, "Xue Qin, why didn’t you tell me about something so serious sooner?"
Song Xueqin gently pushed the man away and sat weakly on the edge of the bed, "What good would telling you do! So you can frown all day for me?"
"Huo Chen, your leg became like this because of me, and I can never repay that. I don’t want you to—cough cough! Looks like I really can’t take it anymore, just one meal and it’s exhausted me so much."
Huo Chen gave a bitter smile, "If I hadn’t seen you faint today, you still wouldn’t have told me, right?"
"Right."
"Song Xueqin, how can you be so cruel to me?"
"Cough cough... Okay, stop blaming me now. While my mind is still clear, I need to entrust you with something—"
Huo Chen couldn’t refuse. He never could refuse any of her requests, and his gaze immediately softened as he held her in his arms, "If, if I really don’t have much time left, I entrust Song Song to you."
"...Xue Qin, tell me, is Song Song my daughter or not?"
Song Xueqin smiled, "If I said no, would you not take care of her?"
"Of course not. As long as she is your daughter, she is my daughter too. That will never change."
Song Xueqin closed her eyes with a relieved smile and went to the bedside table to take out a box, "This black box is very important to both me and Song Song. I’m giving it to you now, please keep it safe for me. At a critical moment... it will save Song Song’s life!"
