Chapter 518: Chapter 489 Genius, Fool_1

Fearing the power of the Changling Supreme God was one aspect, but what made the Snake King give up so quickly was that He Tiantian had never shown him the slightest romantic interest from the beginning to the end; it had always been his unrequited love.

"You were indeed delusional!" the Changling Supreme God added insult to injury by rubbing salt into the Snake King’s fresh wounds.

"You..." Angered by being spoken to like this, the Snake King erupted!

He had already given up. What more did they want from him?

"Hand it over!" the Changling Supreme God demanded, extending his hand.

Not understanding, the Snake King asked, "What?"

"Those two pieces of jade," replied the Changling Supreme God. Those items belonged to him and Yunyun, not to this Spirit Snake.

Taken aback, the Snake King, though reluctant, knew the jade pendants weren’t his to keep any longer. He had no choice but to give them to the Changling Supreme God!

"You may go now," said the Changling Supreme God. "Don’t stay here; it displeases me!"

Feeling aggrieved, the Snake King could only transform into a wisp of shadow and drift out of the room.

Little Rotating Turtle looked up at his master admiringly and said, "Master, you’re so powerful!"

The Changling Supreme God glanced at Little Rotating Turtle and said, "It’s your turn to go in as well."

"Yes, Master!" Little Rotating Turtle entered the barrier, but the Changling Supreme God had tampered with it, leaving Little Rotating Turtle clueless about the outside world.

The Changling Supreme God placed both jade pendants in the pocket of the patient’s garment, then lay down beside He Tiantian, gently wrapping his arms around her as they both fell asleep.

He Tiantian slept soundly until the break of dawn.

When Zhao Huanhuan came to check on the room, she witnessed the man and woman asleep together.

Fortunately, they were still clothed. Otherwise, if she, as the sister-in-law, had seen such a scene, the inappropriate thoughts and embarrassment would have been too much to bear!

Upon waking and seeing Zhao Huanhuan, He Tiantian hurriedly got up and said, "Sister-in-law, you’re here."

He Tiantian, feeling awkward, busied herself straightening her clothes while making small talk.

"Hehe," Zhao Huanhuan chuckled, covering her mouth with a smile, "You must be exhausted from taking care of the Second Brother. It’s okay!"

Zhao Huanhuan was about to tease them some more, but then she saw Huo Yingjie yawn and rub his eyes, looking endearingly silly like a child just woken up.

"Second Brother, you’re awake?" Zhao Huanhuan exclaimed excitedly. "That’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Second Brother, I’ll examine you right now!"

Still groggy from sleep, Huo Yingjie suddenly saw a woman lunging at him, which made him quickly get out of bed and hide behind He Tiantian, saying, "Bad person... bad woman..."

Stunned, Zhao Huanhuan and He Tiantian exchanged bewildered glances!

"What... what happened to him?" Zhao Huanhuan furrowed her brows, feeling as if Huo Yingjie didn’t recognize her.

He Tiantian was also perplexed and took Huo Yingjie by the arm, saying, "Brother Yingjie, what’s wrong with you? You were fine last night, but now you’ve changed. Are you... are you joking with me?"

Huo Yingjie looked at He Tiantian intently and whispered softly, "Tiantian..."

Hearing Huo Yingjie call her name, He Tiantian felt a little relieved; at least he remembered her.

As long as he remembered her, that was all that mattered!

"Brother Yingjie, you’re so naughty, playing a joke on me like this," He Tiantian said with a laugh. "That’s the sister-in-law; she’s here to examine you."

"I don’t want to!" Huo Yingjie protested, continuing to evade.

"Brother Yingjie, you’re sick; you need an examination," He Tiantian said. "Come on, let me help you back to bed and sit down. Be good, okay?"

Zhao Huanhuan was filled with uncertainty. She hadn’t seen Huo Yingjie’s behavior the previous night, but as a doctor, she deduced from his current actions that he seemed to have grown foolish.

Retarded?

What a cruel thing that is!

For someone so intelligent to become a simpleton from a genius, that was even more shocking than Huo Yingjie’s death.

"Then you stay with me," Huo Yingjie clung to He Tiantian’s hand without letting go, like a child, deeply fearful of the outside world and its people.

He Tiantian was stunned and realized that Huo Yingjie had changed.

How did her Brother Yingjie become like a child?

And, and he didn’t even recognize his sister-in-law Zhao Huanhuan.

"Alright, I’ll stay with you," He Tiantian soothed the frightened Huo Yingjie, "Sister-in-law, please check on Brother Yingjie."

"Okay!" Zhao Huanhuan was also anxious, she couldn’t let her brother-in-law become an idiot!

Zhao Huanhuan knew from her husband that it was the Huo Family’s foresight that had created its current situation. If Huo Yingjie was retarded, it would be a major loss for the Huo Family, especially at such a sensitive time!

Zhao Huanhuan examined Huo Yingjie, but he seemed very afraid, always dodging her movements and looking at He Tiantian with a pitiful gaze.

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?" He Tiantian anxiously asked, "Why is Brother Yingjie behaving like this?"

He Tiantian dared not utter the words "simpleton".

Zhao Huanhuan shook her head, "I don’t know, I’ll call the doctor to have a look and also notify the family to come to the hospital quickly."

Zhao Huanhuan went to find Doctor Zhang, and asked the bodyguards outside to send a message to the family.

Upon hearing Huo Yingjie had woken up, Doctor Zhang hastily came to examine him, and his conclusion was, "The brain has suffered a severe concussion, which may have damaged certain brain nerves..."

The explanation seemed plausible but also vague.

After all, there was no data to support it; they could only listen to Doctor Zhang’s guess.

Doctor Zhang, adept in Chinese medicine, felt Huo Yingjie’s pulse and found that his body was even healthier than average. But this still did not change the fact that his mind was not normal!

If possible, Doctor Zhang truly wanted to pry open Huo Yingjie’s head to see what was actually happening inside!

The Huo Family, receiving the news that Huo Yingjie had awakened, had all come to the hospital, old and young.

Old Madam Huo, Jiang Lifang, was wiping tears the entire way!

Zhao Huanhuan did not tell the bodyguards about Huo Yingjie’s condition, so the family was still unaware that Huo Yingjie had become a "simpleton".

Together, they entered the ward where Huo Yingjie was sitting on the hospital bed eating the meals He Tiantian had brought.

He Tiantian would feed him, and he’d take a bite; sometimes, if He Tiantian was slow, he would even grunt twice in protest.

"My son!" Jiang Lifang saw Huo Yingjie awake and burst into tears of joy, collapsing in front of his hospital bed.

Huo Yingjie, frightened, shivered and burrowed into the blanket, covering his head.

Jiang Lifang was startled and said, "Son, son, are you feeling unwell? Why are you hiding? Let mom have a look at you!"

"Won’t come out, just won’t come out," Huo Yingjie said repeatedly, kicking his two bare feet that were sticking out.

Old Madam Huo, terrified, stopped crying and looked towards the old master, saying, "Yingjie, could it be..."

"No, my son is fine," Jiang Lifang said loudly, she absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to call her son an idiot.

Her son was so outstanding, her son was a genius!

Huo Zhekun supported his wife, who was in immense shock, worried she couldn’t handle it and would collapse.

Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo couldn’t bear it and went outside, silently weeping.
