She could see her sad face through his eyes. “Chen, you are a fool!”
Thinking of the joy of finding a suitable cornea back then, Lu Zhaoyang now felt like a b*stard who built her happiness in expense of Huo Chen. Had she known that the cornea was his, she would rather go blind.
Huo Chen came up to her, bowed his head, and wiped her tears away. “Yang Yang, I just could not wait to see you regain your vision to see your child. So, do not feel sorry. I did everything out of my own free will.” Other than wanting Lu Zhaoyang to see her baby, there was another reason. He took her away from Huo Yunting to go abroad was to cure her eyes, and he did not want to disappoint her.
The more regretless Huo Chen was, the more guilt Lu Zhaoyang felt. No way she could repay his love. Shock, guilt, and distress seemed to have swallowed her.
Huo Chen could not bear to see her crying and tilted his head slightly away, but he continued to wipe away the tears on her face. “Stop feeling guilty. Otherwise, my sacrifice will go in vain. Do you understand?”
“You are such a fool!” For a long time, Lu Zhaoyang could only manage these words. How could he be so foolish to hurt himself?
Gently patting on her head, Huo Chen let out a gentle smile. “Being foolish at the right time is actually a kind of cleverness.”
But Lu Zhaoyang could not comprehend Huo Chen’s conviction. He still chose to love her, although he knew that they could not possibly be together. Huo Chen took care of her and loved her in his own way. Lu Zhaoyang could not hold back her emotions and plunge into Huo Chen’s arms; his shirt drenched in her tears.
Huo Chen hugged her, patting her on her back.
“I am sorry…”
“It doesn’t matter. You are so worth it,” Huo Chen said.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” The only sound in the living room was the weeping voice of Lu Zhaoyang.
Granny Huo gazed in the direction of the two, shaking her head helplessly. The only army officer in the Huo family had chosen beauty over his future. What else could she say? It was most unfortunate.
Meanwhile, Huo Yunting learned that Lu Zhaoyang had returned to the Huo family alone and was worried about her. He rushed back at once. But little did he expect to see his woman was in the arms of his uncle—in front of everyone’s eyes. His lazy footsteps became heavy, and he could vaguely hear the mumble of Lu Zhaoyang in Huo Chen’s arms. Huo Yunting clenched his fists. How he wished he could punch his uncle in his face to wake him up as to whose wife he was hugging.
“Yunting, why are you here?” The granny’s voice was weak. She did not know what to say now, no matter how angry she was.
“Grandma.” Huo Yunting greeted her while choking back his fury. Instead of telling Huo Chen and Lu Zhaoyang to behave decently, Huo Yunting groaned inwardly as he walked past them and went upstairs. He was aware of his situation; he was not in a position to compete with Huo Chen. The marriage certificate was the only thing that was left of them.
Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen’s heart missed a beat when they saw Huo Hunting. She pulled herself out of Huo Chen’s arms. “I’m sorry, I just got a little emotional.” She knew she had made a blunder.
