Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Pay the Price_1 Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Pay the Price_1 Huo Beijiang’s steps were steady but swift, seemingly teleporting from the end of the hallway to where the three stood within a blink of an eye.
Facing his overwhelming presence, the three maintained an instinctive silence, unsure of what to say. However, before they could speak, Huo Linong stood up first.
“Bei Jiang!” Huo Linong croaked out, “Nan Fei has just been admitted to the Emergency Room, they’re trying to save her.”
Huo Beijiang stared straight at his father without speaking, using all of his self-control to suppress the torrent of rage coursing within him, a rage powerful enough to destroy everything.
Each breath he took caused a piercing pain in his chest.
The woman he cherished, the one he had cradled in his hand and carefully placed on the very edge of his heart, the woman he would cast away his pride as a man just to treat well, was now lying critically ill in the Emergency Room.
How was he supposed to accept such a reality?
Huo Linong apologized in guilt, “I’m sorry! I’ve failed as a father, I’m unfit to be a father, and unfit to be a husband.”
“Dad!” Huo Beijiang finally uttered, gently patting Huo Linong’s shoulder, speaking slowly and clearly, “This isn’t your fault!”
“But…” Huo Linong tried to say something, only to be interrupted by Huo Beijiang.
“I know everything, no need to explain!” he moved his gaze towards the Emergency Room, his voice devoid of any emotion: “Whoever is responsible will pay the proper price! All those involved will join me in hell.”
Huo Linong was shocked, “No! You…” He wanted to prevent any missteps, he wanted to explain, not wanting to watch his son make a mistake. However, Huo Beijiang didn’t give him a chance, already standing before the entrance to the Emergency Room, staring unwaveringly at the shut doors.
Huo Linong slumped back onto the chair, looking considerably older in an instant. Rather than hearing his son say ‘I don’t blame you’, he would have preferred a harsh scolding, anything was better than his current guilt.
He had figured it out! He Jinlan must have been responsible for the incident. Originally, Yuan Xueshan had recognized her mistakes and started to accept Nan Fei. But after He Jinlan returned the previous night, reciting some transparent lies, this incident happened.
He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, he should have been ruthless last night, no matter how pitiful He Jinlan appeared to be, he should have ignored her.
All his life, Huo Linong had never been foolish, and yet he repeatedly caused harm to his family and his son because of his soft-heartedness.
Bei Jiang had a habit of acting decisively since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to prevent him from making mistakes.
The tense atmosphere at the scene suffocated everyone, wondering how the rescue operation inside was progressing, hoping that Nan Fei would be okay.
As everyone watched Huo Beijiang’s silhouette, their hearts lurched with worry.
Jiang Linzhang made eye contact with the three men, instructing them to follow him out of the hospital building. Only after exiting did they dare to take deep breaths.
Huo Kewei patted his chest worryingly, “Uncle looked pretty scary, do you think he might kill in a rush?” He meant to say something to his uncle, but he forgot everything after a single glance from him.
They were all too scared to move a muscle.
“Is there even a need to ask?” Ying Jiuming said definitively, “I think he’s currently considering whether to kill one person, or go on a killing spree. If he chooses the latter, then whether to massacre a floor, or an entire city.”
Zuo Xinyao, the generally quiet one, unusually nodded in agreement.
