Chapter 515: Chapter 486: What More Can You Hope For?_1

He Tiantian arrived at the hospital and found Jiang Lifang lost in her silent sorrow.

"Aunt Jiang, please go back and rest. I’ll stay here with Brother Yingjie," He Tiantian said. "You’ve been tired these past few days and have lost so much weight. You must take care of your health!"

When Jiang Lifang saw He Tiantian come over, she asked, "Child, didn’t I tell you to rest at home? Why have you come back?"

In a soft voice, He Tiantian replied, "I couldn’t sleep at home, so after changing my clothes, I came. Uncle Huo, please take Aunt Jiang back to rest. Yingjie is so filial; if he wakes up and sees Aunt Jiang so frail, he will definitely be heartbroken."

"You girl," Jiang Lifang said, touched in her heart. Her future daughter-in-law was truly empathetic.

Huo Zhekun chuckled, "Since Tiantian has said so, let’s head back. Let Tiantian and Yingjie spend some time alone together. You know, this boy is really smitten with Tiantian. We shouldn’t disturb them."

"Alright, I’ll go back first," Jiang Lifang nodded. "Tiantian, if you need anything, just go find your sister-in-law."

"Mhm, I understand, Aunt Jiang," He Tiantian responded. Being at the hospital, of course, if there was any need, she would look for Zhao Huanhuan.

Huo Zhekun took his wife Jiang Lifang back to have a good rest—she had been through too much lately.

He Tiantian whispered to Huo Yingjie, muttering softly by his side.

From time to time, He Tiantian pinched Huo Yingjie’s nose and then his face.

When Zhao Huanhuan came in, she witnessed this tender scene.

It must be said that the future sister-in-law had a really good relationship with her younger brother-in-law.

Although her relationship with her husband Huo Yingjun was also very deep, they were both reserved people and did not engage in such affectionate behavior.

"Sister-in-law, you’ve worked hard," He Tiantian said softly, standing up to give Zhao Huanhuan room to check on Yingjie.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded, saying, "It’s not hard; this is my job. Since you’ve come, I’ve noticed that my brother-in-law is a bit better than yesterday. It seems he’s always had you on his mind."

He Tiantian’s face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, too embarrassed to respond.

Zhao Huanhuan also felt a bit embarrassed to say more, given He Tiantian was still an unmarried girl and would naturally feel shy about such blunt words.

"Alright, I’ll step out now. If you feel stuffy, you can go out for a walk," Zhao Huanhuan said. "The hospital isn’t very crowded; I can help watch things here."

He Tiantian had come to take care of Huo Yingjie, not to relieve boredom, so she shook her head, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I’ll just stay here."

"Well, then, I’ll leave you to it." Zhao Huanhuan’s impression of He Tiantian improved even more.

After Zhao Huanhuan left, He Tiantian began to feel sleepy. She took Huo Yingjie’s hand and fell asleep on the edge of his hospital bed.

At night, He Tiantian intended to stay up and watch over Yingjie, but Huo Zhekun insisted she go home.

How could he let a young girl like Tiantian, especially after traveling, exhaust herself with a night watch?

Under the family’s caring insistence, He Tiantian returned to the Huo Family Old Mansion to rest.

However, she found herself unable to sleep at night, worried about Huo Yingjie. So she called out to the Snake King: "Gurulu gurumi... Snake King, come out quickly."

"Are you sure you want me, the grand Snake King, to come out?" the Snake King said ominously. Although he was eager to emerge, he didn’t want to be accused of taking advantage of the situation.

It was night, and He Tiantian was in her pajamas, thinking that the Snake King had grown into a young man and it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to be alone together. She quickly added, "Snake King, better not come out. We can just talk in our minds."

"Alright, ask away," the Snake King said languidly, fiddling with two jade pendants in his hand.

Today, consumed with worry for Huo Yingjie, all He Tiantian did was cry, leaving her with many questions lingering. Now that she had time and couldn’t sleep anyway, she decided to ask for some clarity.

"Snake King, why did you take those two jade pendants?" He Tiantian asked. Her jade pendant had been taken by the Snake King, and he had also taken the one from Huo Yingjie.

This was their engagement ceremony.

The daytime visions only added to He Tiantian’s befuddlement.

"This is the Ancient Divine Jade," the Snake King said, "It is very helpful to me."

He Tiantian expressed her difficulty, "Snake King, if the jade pendant is useful to you, I don’t mind handing it over. However, Yingjie is currently unconscious, and I hope to heal him first. As long as Brother Yingjie wakes up, I am willing to give you both pieces of the jade."

He Tiantian worried that the Snake King, preoccupied with cultivation, wouldn’t heal Huo Yingjie!

"Humph!" The Snake King snorted, actually touched by He Tiantian’s insight into his thoughts. Indeed, he was hesitating whether to seize the jade pendant for himself.

"Snake King, you are the omnipotent Snake King," He Tiantian said, "Please save Brother Yingjie!"

"I am already treating him. It’s just that right now, he lacks the ability to absorb more Spiritual Power, so I will continue tomorrow," the Snake King declared, knowing that if he didn’t agree, He Tiantian would keep pestering him.

Without her agreement, he wouldn’t be able to practice cultivation.

"Thank you, Snake King," He Tiantian said. "As long as you revive Brother Yingjie, with his abilities, he will surely find more Ancient Divine Jade for you to cultivate. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

Mutually beneficial?

The Snake King gave a wry smile. In He Tiantian’s heart, they were merely collaborators.

Ah, what was he still hoping for?

"Rest assured, I will save him," the Snake King said, then cut off the contact.

He Tiantian was annoyed. How could the Snake King be like this!

She had so many other questions!

Without finishing, he ran off again!

With deep resentment, He Tiantian fell asleep.

In her dream, He Tiantian interrogated the Snake King over and over. Finally, the Snake King, infuriated, beat her up.

He Tiantian felt very sad and by the time she woke up, it was the next day.

He Tiantian glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already six o’clock, time to get up.

After washing up, He Tiantian saw that breakfast was ready. Had it been delivered??

He Jingyu was also downstairs. After breakfast, he took over for He Tiantian.

At the hospital, He Jingyu and He Tiantian had the chance to be alone together.

He Jingyu was conflicted and hesitant about Huo Yingjie’s condition, which worried him.

Although he admired the boy Huo Yingjie, compared to his daughter’s lifelong happiness, it was not as significant.

"Tiantian, if Yingjie never wakes up, what will we do?" He Jingyu softly asked, concerned his daughter would hold on stubbornly and refuse to let go.

He Tiantian was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, "Dad, Brother Yingjie will definitely wake up."

"I said, what if!" He Jingyu emphasized.

"Then I will stay with him," He Tiantian replied, not on a whim, but after deep consideration.

The combined age from her past and present lives allowed He Tiantian to think more thoroughly.

As long as Huo Yingjie was not dead, she would wait for him.
