231 NEVER SEE HER AGAIN (2/2)

If they rejected her, she might not receive the care he hoped that she would receive.

Before he could answer, there was a soft knock on the door. The old man looked at Zhong Feng in a threatening manner before walking to check the door. He was surprised to see his daughter standing there, waiting for him.

”Why are you here at this hour of the night?” He asked.

”Zhong Feng called me. Hu Lei is my patient.” She smiled before entering the shop, passing her incredulous father.

Actually, Dr Huo had not been aware of her relationship with Hu Lei before the phone call from Zhong Feng earlier in the night. He had always felt like she looked a little familiar, and she felt close to her, but it had never occurred to her that they could be related.

With that phone call, she was more determined than ever to help Hu Lei, no matter what it took.

Elder Huo looked at her walking in, but he could say nothing. He had never been able to handle his daughter. Usually, she was a strict woman but inwardly warm person, but towards him, she behaved like he was an unfamiliar acquaintance. He knew that she blamed him for what happened to her brother, Ming.

Even though she understood his actions, she could never truly forgive him. It was the reason she had refused to be involved with any hospital or medical organisation linked to her family. Instead, she had her small private practice.

The two of them walked toward Zhong Feng and found him brushing Hu Lei's hair gently with his fingers. It was obvious how much his heart ached. Dr Huo's heart softened at the sight. Hu Lei never delved deep into her past or life with her, but she was not hesitant when talking about her husband.

Her eyes would sparkle brightly in a lively manner whenever she mentioned Ah-Feng which made her seem like a teenager.

Unfortunately, the old man was not as familiar with the couple. He could not bear to see his lovely granddaughter being taken advantage of while lying unconscious.

”Young man, you have still not explained what happened to my granddaughter. Do not think you are going to get away with anything. If I do not receive a satisfactory explanation, you will never see her again.” He threatened.

Zhong Feng looked at the man, his eyes cold and piercing. He could withstand anything, but the threat of never seeing his Hu Lei was unacceptable, even from the man who was her grandfather.

”How exactly do you plan to keep her from me?” His voice seemed to contained ice arrows.

The old man felt a little shiver from the young man. It was obvious that he could not be trifled with. But he was still the elder. He was not willing to be frightened by the young fox. He was ready to fight back when he was interrupted.

”Father, Zhong Feng is Hu Lei's husband. He is the only one with the rights to make decisions for her if she cannot do so herself.” Dr Huo spoke in her usual simple way.

The opposition from his daughter made the old man even angrier. He was the elder, but he still had to accommodate his daughter and his granddaughter's husband. How could he stand to be kept down and have no authority over his own family?

When he was ready to blow up, there was another knock on the door.
