Chapter 240 I Will Never Let Her Go
Before Huo Jianjie could think further, Murong Ling'er walked lightly to the bedside, stretched out her fair and slender hand, gently grabbed Huo Jianjie's wrist, and began to carefully feel his pulse.
She closed her eyes slightly, frowning slightly, her expression focused and serious. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, a barely perceptible glint of relief flashing across her eyes, and she said softly, "Just take your time to recuperate, and you'll be back soon."
Hearing this, Huo Jianjie's pale face relaxed a little, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.
Before this, he had planned to tell his eldest daughter the whole story of his life. It was a secret that had been hidden for many years, like a seed buried deep in his heart.
However, after experiencing this incident, he felt extremely dissatisfied with Chu Lingfeng for caring about another woman.
In his opinion, what was his eldest daughter inferior to others? Chu Lingfeng's behavior was really hard for him to let go.
Now, he no longer thinks Chu Lingfeng is a good choice for a son-in-law. In this case, there is no need for him to tell anyone the secret. Just let it rot in his stomach and turn into dust forever.
Even though he thought so, he still had to say the polite words.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Murong Ling'er, and said, "Ling'er, don't blame Prince Chu. This is not entirely his fault. If you want to blame someone, just blame your father for his bad luck. He suffered this unforeseen disaster."
In fact, Huo Jianjie did not blame Chu Lingfeng for saving his life. He was just dissatisfied with Chu Lingfeng for valuing Sun Ying too much and inadvertently neglecting his eldest daughter. The imbalance of love and care was like a thorn in his heart.
Murong Ling'er stood quietly by the side. When she heard Huo Jianjie's words, her expression did not change at all. She just lowered her eyes slightly, making it difficult to see the look in her eyes.
In her heart, matters of the heart are like floating clouds in the sky, unpredictable and difficult to grasp. Chu Lingfeng's emotional direction is nothing more than an irrelevant matter to her. Who he falls in love with and who he is in love with is his freedom. Murong Linger feels that she has no right and no intention to interfere.
Moreover, although the source of Huo Jianjie's accident was the complicated situation and the undercurrents of various forces, if he thought about it carefully, if he had stronger abilities and was more careful to guard against the dangers hidden in the dark, perhaps he could have avoided this disaster.
Therefore, deep down in her heart, she still felt that this matter was ultimately due to her own failure to protect him properly. This self-blame was like a heavy stone, weighing on her heart.
However, Murong Ling'er's calmness seemed incomprehensible to Huo Shuixian.
Huo Shuixian stood aside, her little face flushed red, her eyes wide open, as if two flames of anger were burning in them, her hands clenched into fists, her body trembling slightly with anger.
Along the way, she saw and remembered how Murong Ling'er took care of Chu Lingfeng tirelessly and how she took care of their Chu family with all her heart.
In her heart, Murong Ling'er was no longer the sister who once resented her, but the benefactor of her Huo family, the family member she wanted to protect and be close to.
But now, this Chu Lingfeng almost caused her father to lose his life for a fake who appeared out of nowhere. How could she swallow this?
"Dad, big sister, why don't you blame him?"
Huo Shuixian took a sudden step forward, her voice sharp with anger, "It's all because of him, otherwise you wouldn't be lying here, suffering so much!"
Her eyes were filled with tears, a mixture of anger and grievance. "And that bitch, why didn't those bandits kill her? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have suffered this unforeseen disaster."
Huo Shuixian became more and more excited as she spoke, her chest heaving violently. "You guys don't care, but I can't. I won't let her go!"
Huo Jianjie didn't hear all of this. He had just woken up from a coma caused by a serious injury, and his body was still extremely weak and his mind was a little dazed. He only vaguely heard the younger daughter call the older daughter for the first time, and her attitude today was completely different from before.
He rolled his eyes with great effort, his eyes full of confusion, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he almost lost his life this time and scared her, so that her temperament changed drastically, and she became so well-behaved and sensible, and even changed her attitude towards her sister?
Facing Huo Jianjie's inquiring gaze, Huo Shuixian did not retreat at all. Instead, she straightened her back, as if she had made some kind of decision.
She took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, and walked two or three steps straight to Murong Ling'er. Her eyes showed a determination she had never had before, and she said, "Sister, I have something to say to you alone."
Murong Ling'er was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Huo Shuixian to make such a request at this time. She looked at Huo Shuixian up and down with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and secretly wondered in her heart, this girl usually avoids her, so why did she act like this today? Is there something wrong with her brain?
Before Murong Ling'er could open her mouth to refuse, Huo Jianjie said with great relief, "Go ahead! You two sisters can have a good chat. I don't need anyone to watch over me here."
Just then, Deng Lihua pushed the door open carrying a bowl of steaming porridge.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw the two sisters standing inside. She was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face.
But soon, her attention was drawn to her husband who woke up in bed, and she almost dropped the bowl of porridge in her hand.
She hurried to the bedside and shouted excitedly, "Master! You're finally awake." Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Seeing this, Murong Ling'er pursed her lips slightly, stood up silently, tidied her clothes, and walked out, giving the seat by the bed to the couple who had been reunited after a long separation.
When Huo Shuixian saw Murong Ling'er leave, she hurriedly followed her without even saying hello to Deng Lihua, as if there was something extremely important waiting for her to do.
The two sisters walked in silence all the way to a secluded place in the backyard.
It was so quiet here that it was a little eerie. There were overgrown weeds all around, and only a few dead trees shivering in the cold wind. The occasional cries of unknown birds added a bit of desolation.
Murong Ling'er stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Huo Shuixian coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes, and said lightly: "Tell me! What do you want?" The tone seemed to be filled with a layer of frost, keeping people away from her.
Huo Shuixian was not scared off by Murong Ling'er's indifference. She bit her lip, as if trying to organize her words.
