Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xunzhou’s heart sank for no reason when he heard the term “terminal illness”.
“Does Wen Huan visit him often?”
“Mr. Wen is busy and doesn’t come here often, but he came quite frequently this month. He came once last week and left after staying for a while.”
“Can we go and see him?”
“Of course.”
The dean took them to meet Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin was lying on the bed. From the look of his emaciated body and haggard face, one could tell that he was suffering from illness.
The director stepped forward. “Mr. Qin, these two are Mr. Wen’s friends. They are also good people who came to help us. He said that he would stop by to meet you.”
“Mr. Wen…” Hearing Wen Huan’s name, Mr. Qin’s eyes brightened. Li MO asked the dean, “Can we have a moment with Mr. Qin?”
The dean looked at Mr. Qin for his opinion.
Mr. Qin nodded and easily accepted their request probably because he heard that they were friends with Wen Huan.
After the dean left, Li MO immediately closed the door.
Huo Xunzhou sat down in front of the bed and asked in a deep voice, “Sir, why did Wen Huan come to visit you a week ago?”
Mr. Qin’s reaction was a little slow. After a few seconds, he said slowly, “He just came to visit me.”
“Did he ask you for anything?” Huo Xunzhou felt that Wen Huan couldn’t have just sent Lin Shanchu some photos, as simple as that.
Old Qin hesitated for a moment before he said, “No.”
Li MO noticed that the hand next to Huo Xunzhou subconsciously repeated the clenching and loosening motions.
It was a sign of anxiety.
The old man in front of them was obviously lying, but he was a terminally ill patient. Anyone with a conscience would not threaten or bribe him.
He would become the villain.
“Something happened to Wen Huan.”
Li MO usually had a fierce look on his poker face, looking like the kind of person who was reliable in doing things and did not talk nonsense.
“What’s wrong with him?” Old Qin panicked upon hearing those words. Li MO said, “You have to ask yourself. What did he take from you on that day?” “It’s the morphine sustained-release tablets!” Mr. Qin said anxiously
Morphine sustained-release tablet were narcotic analgesics used to relieve cancer pain. They were controlled drugs that could only be obtained at the hospital with a prescription.
It was the reason why Wen Huan came to Mr. Qin to get the drug.
Li MO did not bother to explain to Mr. Qin. His expression changed drastically as he looked at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou grimaced even more than him.
He called out worriedly, “Big Brother…”
After two seconds, Huo Xunzhou reacted slowly and looked up at him.
“Explain to the old mister,” Huo Xunzhou said hoarsely and left.
Li MO stayed and explained to Mr. Qin, “Wen Huan took the drug from you and give it to my sister-in-law.”
Old Qin was stunned for a moment before sighing. “Didn’t you guys say something happened to him?”
Li MO bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, sir.”
“I’m glad that Mr. Wen is fine.” Mr. Qin waved his hand.
Li MO pushed the door open and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair, staring at something in a daze.
“Big Brother?”
“Have you explained to him clearly?”
Huo Xunzhou turned around with a calm gaze.
Li MO nodded, indicating that he had explained it clearly.
He thought Huo Xunzhou was about to leave.
In the end, Huo Xunzhou pushed the door open again and entered the room.
“Sir, how do you feel now?”
Mr. Qin looked up at him and sized him up with his lifeless eyes for a while before he slowly said, “What else can I feel? I have to endure it just to get through each day. It will be a relief for me if I die sooner.”
Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment. “Take care, sir.”
On the way back, Huo Xunzhou did not say anything.
Li MO did not dare to ask him any question.
When they arrived at the villa entrance, Huo Xunzhou opened the door and got out of the car, striding into the house.
Li MO looked at his back and sighed slightly.
Usually, Huo Xunzhou was very cautious. Even when he reached the villa entrance, he would not walk. Instead, Li MO would help him sit in the wheelchair.
After Li MO got out of the car, he looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he took out the wheelchair from the trunk and pushed it in. After Li MO went upstairs, he went straight to Huo Xunzhou’s study.
“Big Brother?” He pushed the door open and looked inside.
Huo Xunzhou sat in front of his desk looking at the bookshelf with his back facing the door.
Li MO could not see his face, but he could feel a hint of depression.
“I want to be alone for a while.” Huo Xunzhou did not turn around and lowered his voice.
Li MO did not say anything else. He silently closed the door and left.
After some time, the study door was opened again.
Li MO, who was guarding the door, immediately asked, “Big Brother, are you going out?”
Huo Xunzhou walked towards the elevator. “I’m going to visit the drama crew.”
Lin Shanchu had to shoot two scenes with Huo Chaosheng today.
Huo Chaosheng’s lousy acting skills had greatly delayed the progress of the crew.
However, Huo Chaosheng was famous and had a high status, so everyone showed him respect. The director couldn’t help but calmly explain the scene to him.
Fortunately, Huo Chaosheng’s attitude was not bad.
After the director finished speaking, he asked Lin Shanchu to rehearse with him.
After the rehearsal, Huo Chaosheng asked Lin Shanchu confidently, “Am I better than before?”
“Ha.” Lin Shanchu laughed coldly, trying to let Huo Chaosheng figure it out himself.
Huo Chaosheng revealed a rare guilty expression.
“I didn’t mind that you weren’t professional enough when we were doing the cover shoot. So, don’t mind me.”
“Ha!” Lin Shanchu’s cold laugh was even louder than before. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal after we get out.”
Huo Chaosheng coughed lightly and said tactfully, “Forget it then. I’ll treat you to a meal instead. How can I let the sister treat her brother to a meal?” Lin Shanchu’s expression softened a little. “What do you want to eat?” If he dared to say sashimi, he would be dead meat!
“You can eat whatever you want!” Huo Chaosheng smiled warmly and generously.
Lin Shanchu was in a better mood. “Let’s rehearse the scene again.” “Alright.”
Acting skills really depended on talent.
They both had the same surname.
Huo Xunzhou was the Best Actor.
Huo Chaosheng… there was no need to mention him.
Lin Shanchu was so angry that her cancer flared up again.
When Huo Chaosheng saw Lin Shanchu’s pale face, he asked tentatively, “You don’t have to be so angry…”
“I’m going to the restroom.” Lin Shanchu picked up her bag and left.
After entering the restroom, she took out a bottle from her bag, poured out a piece of painkiller and swallowed it.
The painkiller did not take effect quickly.
However, Lin Shanchu felt better probably due to psychological reasons.
She stayed in the restroom for quite a while. After making sure that her complexion had recovered a little, she turned around and left.
When she returned to the film set, she saw many staff members gathered together from afar.
He Xiang was looking around not far away. It seemed that she was looking for Lin Shanchu. “He Xiang.”
“Sister Lin!”
He Xiang immediately ran over..
