Chapter 214: Wait for Him Back at the House

Huo Wenzhong left, and the tense and charged atmosphere in the living room gradually dissipated. Mrs. Huo glanced at Mrs. Huo Sr. but said nothing more, simply instructing Miss Li to help the elderly woman to her bedroom to rest.

Mrs. Huo Sr. was seated in a wheelchair, speaking to Mrs. Huo in a weak and breathy voice.

"Zhou Qiong, it is our Huo family who has wronged you."

Her voice sounded weathered, as if she had suddenly aged a great deal.

Mrs. Huo, upon hearing this, first stubbornly looked away, her expression one of defiant pride. But as Mrs. Huo Sr. entered the room, tears immediately spilled over. Initially, she managed to hold back her sobs, maintaining a composed demeanor, but in the end, she broke down, weeping soundlessly.

Huo Wenzhong, who had not yet departed from outside the door, simply closed his eyes and, eventually, took his leave with heavy steps.

Ye Shu, unsure of how to console Mrs. Huo, simply held her hand and remained silent.
