Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 553 - 551 Who Says You Staying is Useless

She reflexively struggled for a moment, then immediately sensed the sweat in the man’s palm.

He seemed to be in desperate need of encouragement and support right now.

Moved by this thought, she stopped struggling and instead curled her slender fingers, letting his large hand hold hers tightly.

——

Renxin Private Hospital.

The red light outside the operating room was on.

Down the hallway, the lights were harsh, bleak, and desolate.

Several bodyguards waited anxiously outside.

Su Yan sat on the bench, holding her head in her hands, her eyes swollen from crying.

Just then, footsteps could be heard from down the corridor—

With tears blurring her vision, Su Yan looked up to see Huo Zhenyang approaching with a group of people. Overwhelmed by fear and concern, she rushed up, "Mr. Huo!"

As she spoke, she burst into tears and threw her arms around the man’s sturdy waist!

Huo Zhenyang coldly pushed Su Yan away, appearing like a cold, unfeeling statue, and glanced at the light outside the operating room, "How is it?"

Pushed off balance, Su Yan nearly stumbled, but luckily the butler, Ade, supported her. Her heart felt a chill, but she quickly pulled herself together, wiped away her tears, and stammered, "The doctor said the old master has had a cerebral hemorrhage and is currently in surgery. The surgery isn’t over yet."

"How could he have fallen like that? With so many of you following him, are you all blind?" Ade asked anxiously.

Su Yan, sobbing, exchanged a glance with the butler, Ade, and said helplessly, "After the old master finished meeting with some old friends at the resort, the butler and I were preparing to take him back to Disheng. But the old master said he hadn’t been out in a long time and wanted to stroll along the wooded path near the resort. I didn’t feel comfortable letting him go alone, so I accompanied him. Then... then the old master tripped on a slope, his cane hit a stone, and he fell. I couldn’t catch him! It’s all my fault. If only I had stopped the old master from going out for a walk, none of this would have happened!" Saying this, she cried out loud again.

Huo Zhenyang glanced at the butler, Ade.

The butler, Ade, also nodded, his face mournful, "That’s right, before we left, the old master wanted to take a walk. Su Miss and I saw that it was still early and we weren’t in a hurry, so thinking that it was rare for the old master to come out and that the scenery and air around the resort were good, we agreed. Who would have known that this would happen..."

At that moment, Su Yan became agitated and suddenly knelt down, slapping herself hard:

"It’s all me! I failed to take proper care of the old master! It’s my fault! My fault!"

The sound of slaps, unrelenting, was shockingly intense in the hallway!

"Miss Su, you can’t blame yourself entirely, it was an accident..." said the butler, Ade.

"How can I not blame myself? I was supposed to take care of the old master, yet I couldn’t even manage that!" Su Yan said bitterly as her fair face was now covered in red handprints.

Huo Zhenyang, visibly annoyed, rebuked her, "Enough! Get out of here. I don’t have time to settle accounts with you right now."

At that moment, the red light outside the operating room flickered and then went out.

The head surgeon, still wearing a mask, came out of the operating room with nurses.

Behind them, Huo Tianpei was wheeled out by a nurse, wearing surgical attire, looking haggard, but his breathing seemed even and his vital signs relatively stable.

"How is it, doctor—" Su Yan and the butler Ade rushed over.

The doctor said, "The patient already had hypertension. The fall caused an acute cerebral hemorrhage. Don’t worry, the surgery went reasonably well. However, he is still unconscious, but he should come to by tomorrow. Besides—"

"What else?" the butler Ade asked anxously.

"Once the patient regains consciousness, he might suffer a stroke, which could result in hemiplegia and paralysis. Prepare yourselves mentally. However, it’s already fortunate that he survived an acute cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Huo, you should look on the bright side."

After the doctor finished, several nurses wheeled Huo Tianpei into the adjacent intensive care unit.

Watching the old master being pushed into the ward, Su Yan said through tears, "Mr. Huo, I want to stay in the ICU to look after the old master. I really can’t bear to leave him."

The doctor also said, "Yes, Mr. Huo, it would be best to have a few people familiar with the old master’s usual condition stay by his side to take care of him."

"Young Master, over the past few years in America, it was Miss Su who made sure the old master rested and took his medicine. Now in China, no one knows his body better than she does. Please let her stay," Butler Ou pleaded.

Huo Zhenyang frowned without a word, then issued a low order, "Watch the old master closely tonight!"

Butler Ou understood the young master’s intention, "Yes!" Saying so, he and Su Yan went to wait outside the intensive care unit.

The old master’s personal bodyguards and Ade also followed them there.

Everyone dispersed.

The corridor was silent.

Huo Zhenyang sat on the bench, his extraordinarily handsome face seemingly covered with a layer of faint weariness, like a cold, bloodless piece of uncarved jade.

Jiayi knew he would stay at Renxin tonight and not leave until the old master woke up the next day. She couldn’t help but approach him, "The doctor said the old master is fine now. You can rest assured."

He suddenly smiled. On his slightly tired face, that smile seemed somewhat sinister, "What, are you comforting me to brush me off because you want to leave?"

How on earth was she brushing him off? This man was so difficult to deal with!

Neither reprimands nor kind words worked.

Even if she did not want anything to do with the Huo family, she would never say anything weird or mocking when old Master Huo’s life was at stake!

Seeing his complexion improve, knowing the old master’s life was not in danger, and that he should be reassured, she gathered her courage and followed his words, "Since everything is alright, there’s no point in me staying—"

Before she could finish speaking, her arm was grasped, and with great force, she was pulled into an embrace, ending up sitting in his lap!

He pressed her into his embrace, murmuring low, "Who said you’re useless if you stay? Stay with me."

Having said that, he wrapped a large hand around her slender waist, holding her tight.

In the narrow corridor outside the operating room, apart from the two of them, there was no one else.

The white walls and the specific surgical lamps outside the operating room left her feeling somewhat ashamed.

This is a hospital, a place for healing and saving lives, and he didn’t seem to have any scruples at all.

"So many people are accompanying you, do you still need me? You think you’re Zaizai, just three years old?" She attempted to stand up, pushing him away, but she also didn’t dare to make too much noise.

But he wrapped his arms around her waist stubbornly, not letting go, while his other hand pressed the back of her head close to his chest.

She could hear his long breathing and rapid heartbeat. Somehow, she stopped resisting.

Forget it.

Today was an exceptional case...

Old Master Huo nearly didn’t make it.

It seemed a bit wrong to leave him at this time, right?

Just indulge him this once.

She never thought she would be so compliantly nestling against his chest, like a little kitten that had finally tamed down, leaning into her master’s embrace.

For a moment, she even felt that this invincible man truly needed her tonight.

Until she remembered something, and murmured in his embrace, "I want to go make a call to Zaizai."

They had rushed out of the villa so suddenly that they hadn’t even had time to alert Zaizai, and they probably wouldn’t return that evening. Even if there were servants in the villa, she still didn’t feel completely at ease.
