She mumbled as she hung up.
Huo Chen’s car drove past her, leaving a trail of smoke behind.
She noticed that his car windows were all open.
Wen He stepped on the brakes!
Really, I should just say these things to his face instead. It’s much better than him finding out... That was awkward!
His car soon gone down the road.
Wen He restarted her engine and went in the opposite direction.
She had already pushed Huo Chen further up the list. She figured that would visit the hospital to get more info. If the city cannot provide, she would search across the states, and then overseas if that failed too.

(Back in the city...)
Lu Zhaoyang had just left Huo Yunting’s office when she received a call from her mother.
Xue Yuming had been thinking. She reached to a conclusion that her daughter was not making any progress with Huo Yunting because of Huo Chen.
Thus, she hatched a plan.
Lu Zhaoyang took the call as she made her way to her office. “Mum, are you feeling better?”
“Much better, don’t worry. Yangyang, I miss Xuxu. Is he with you?”
Xue Yuming did not mention Huo Chen immediately. It would have been too obvious.
“He’s gone to cram school.”
She remembered Xuxu once said that he did not like his grandmother.
It would be difficult to change this first impression going forward.
“Oh, it’s good to have your son study more. We had guests last night, but you and Yunting were too busy at work to join us. It would have been a nice family gathering otherwise.”
Xue Yuming tried to sound casual.
“We are busy at that moment and couldn’t make it home.”
Lu Zhaoyang sat down and looked at the pile of documents awaiting her attention.
Besides, she did not really feel like going back to that “home”, the place that had left her with so many horrific memories.
Xue Yuming stumbled in her speech, for she was expecting Lu Zhaoyang to ask who the guests were.
“Work is important, but health is even more so. Don’t overwork yourself. Come visit with Yunting when you can to meet your second aunt.”
Xue Yuming made it very clear about who she was referring to.

Chen has a girlfriend?
She did not feel as terrible as she had anticipated. Despite all the mixed feelings, it ended up with her feeling relieved and happy for him.
It seemed that the trip back to their home country was a boon to him. Chen had finally found someone else and even brought her home.
It was good that he had finally let go.
She hoped that he would find his own happiness and overcome the burdens of the past.
Since they left the Huo residence, she had enquired many hospitals and left messages for them to call back if they found a suitable donor.
Nevertheless, he had to wait in line. There was only so much she could do for him.
“Yangyang?” Xue Yuming asked carefully, trying to gauge her thoughts.
I hope she’s not secretly mourning over losing Huo Chen!
She must use this opportunity to rid her of any last remnants of hope.
“She is very charming and mannerly. Grandma is quite keen about her and even asked her to call grandma ‘Mom’ instead. Huo Chen and her seem to get along very well. I even saw them putting food into each other’s plates during dinner. I am so happy for them!”
Xue Yuming said with affected enthusiasm and added, “Huo Chen must really like this girl to bring her home.”
