Chapter 688: The Price

Huo Yunque placed his large palm on her head and rubbed it heavily.

“You’re not sick, you’re very healthy.”

It was as if his heart was tied with a string, and the other end of the string was tied to the young girl’s body. It tugged with her every move, slowly spreading pain to his body.

“You lied to me!”

Song Yaoyao sniffed, her eyes red as she accused, “How can I not be sick? A normal person wouldn’t do that…”

Before she could finish, a report was handed to her.

“Take a look for yourself.”

Song Yaoyao took it in a daze. She had seen all the indicators on it clearly, and the final conclusion was: she was very healthy!

Very healthy!

Unlike her previous life, even her heart was fine this time.

“See? No problem, right?” Huo Yunque patted her head gently and comforted her in a low voice, “Even if there is a problem, in my eyes, it’s not a problem.”

No matter what she turned into, he could accept it.

Song Yaoyao flipped the report over and over again in disbelief. She then asked in a stuttering manner, “Gege, are you… working with Liu Yu to lie to me?”

Liu Yu’s medical skills were so amazing, yet he could not find anything wrong with her.

“Song Yaoyao.”

Huo Yunque held his forehead, his dark eyes fixed on her.

“I wouldn’t go so far as to lie to a child. Besides…” he tapped the tip of her nose. “I don’t agree with hiding an illness and avoiding treatment.”

If there was really a problem, Huo Yunque would not hide it from her.

He would face it with her, and not let her be kept in the dark and not know anything.

As for the trauma that Liu Yu mentioned…

Huo Yunque sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her back.

They would take their time…

Feng City also needed to be reorganized.

During these recent days, how many forces had gathered in this small territory?

…

“Baby! Oh, my poor child, Alice, how are you…”

As soon as Lady Celia entered the door, she hugged Alice tightly.

Her tears were like beads that had lost their thread, and she was going to drown this entire place with them.

Count Lancaster stood behind her helplessly.

“Mother, I’m fine.”

Alice’s small face was pale. Her skin had a sickly greenish-gray color, and she exuded a deathly aura from the inside out.

Anyone who was not blind could tell that her condition was terrible.

“How are you fine? Oh my god, I shouldn’t have let you come here alone, those damn guys!”

Lady Celia gritted her teeth and caressed Alice’s cheeks tenderly.

She seemed to have lost weight again, and her already large eyes were a little scary.

The IV was still on the back of her hand, and she smiled. “But mother, I’m very happy to see you again, and father…”

Her green eyes sparkled, like an innocent little girl who was acting coquettishly to her parents.

Count Lancaster pulled Lady Celia into his embrace. “Alice, I will investigate this matter for you.”

“There’s no need, Father.”

Alice smiled widely, a cold glint flashing across her clear eyes.

“I want to settle this myself and make those people pay the price they deserve!”

If Song Yaoyao and her bodyguards had not been present, Alice might have already been dismembered.

Those people were obviously coming for her. They didn’t want her alive. They really wanted her dead!

Her bodyguards died for her.
