Chapter 1210: Chapter 1210: A Century Later, We Finally Have a Day to Meet
Huo Yunjiao’s comfort seemed to be effective, as Qin Ruan’s crying gradually became weaker.
But the person in his arms no longer sobbed or trembled lightly, and when he looked down, he saw that she had fainted from crying.
Huo Yunjiao’s already pale face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Quickly, go fetch the doctor!"
"I’ll go!"
Huo Yao clambered out of bed and ran out of the bedroom with her bare little feet.
After that, the Huo Family was thrown into chaos, and everyone became active.
Huo Junxin had woken up, and the young Madam had fainted; the old Family Head was so excited upon hearing the news that he sat up in bed, insisting on visiting his grandson in the little building.
Huo Yunjiao’s father and second uncle, who were both out, immediately dropped everything to return home as soon as they could.
Huo Junxin, working in the Cabinet, and Huo Yirong, at HEA Company, upon receiving news that the third brother had woken up, also rushed back to the old house without delay.
Huo Yunjiao had woken up during the year’s first snowfall, and when the Huo Family learned of this news, their faces all burst into smiles.
Yet it was at this time that Qin Ruan fell ill.
As she lay in Huo Yunjiao’s arms on the bed, her body, which had been holding on for several months, finally relaxed, and having just given birth to the little Princess not long ago, she fell into a tired slumber amidst her emotional agitation.
Only Huo Yunjiao knew how long he had been in a coma and that Qin Ruan hadn’t had a full night’s sleep for just as long.
Whenever it approached deep into the night, she would be startled awake by nightmares during her shallow sleep and, upon waking, would hold him, recounting the recurring scene in her dreams where he was struck by lightning.
Even last night, Qin Ruan was awakened from her nightmares twice, only falling asleep near dawn and then waking again after a short while.
Conscious but unable to awaken his body, Huo Yunjiao would always listen to Qin Ruan’s fear and longing for him, and though it pained his heart, he could not embrace the stricken person in his arms to comfort her.
His body, which had been bombarded by lightning, needed a strong spiritual force to heal, for it was far too weak.
So weak that it might not last through the winter.
After Huo Yunjiao woke up, he saw all the members of the Huo Family; he looked no different from a normal person other than being overly pale.
The old Family Head had visibly aged much in the past few months due to fright and anxiety and was not nearly as spirited as before.
Now that his grandson had woken up, unable to sustain prolonged exhaustion, he was quickly helped away by the Huo Family’s Hidden Guard.
Huo Yunjiao’s father and the others did want to talk to him more, but knowing that his heart was with Qin Ruan still lying in the main bedroom, Huo Yunjiao only kept Huo Yirong with him and sent everyone else away.
Sitting in the living room, Huo Yirong’s handsome face quickly lost its smile as his uncle, father, and older brother left.
His expression turned solemn as he stared at Huo Yunjiao, who sat opposite him with a composed demeanor, and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, your complexion doesn’t look so good."
Remembering his cousin’s instructions before falling into a coma, he wasn’t as reassured as their grandfather and the others were, and instead, his heart was lifted with concern.
Huo Yunjiao pulled up the sleeve of his pajamas, revealing the split Earth Heaven Buddha Beads on his wrist.
All eighteen beads were covered in fine cracks.
His bloodless lips curled into a faint arc, and his low, slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of regret and helplessness, "Second brother, I don’t have much time left."
Seeing the Buddha Beads shattered, Huo Yirong’s posture tensed, and his pupils shook violently.
He clenched his jaw, his cheek muscles tightened, and his hand by his side instantly balled into a fist.
His reddened eyes conveyed how hard it was for him to accept this fact.
Huo Yirong’s handsome features nearly twisted in anguish as he glared at the calm-faced Huo Yunjiao and roared in a lowered voice, "How can Grandfather accept this? How can you bear to let uncle send off someone younger than himself to death?
During this time, our sister-in-law has been pushed to her limit. She was devastated by the news of your accident, looking as if her heart had died. Once something happens to you, it’s very likely she will follow you!"
The moment came too quickly, so quickly that he could not accept it!
The emotions of the second elder of the Huo Family, Huo Er, were ignited instantaneously, and he was extremely irritable. He was surrounded by suppressed pain, yet powerless to do anything.
Huo Yunjiao lifted his eyes, casting a mild and indifferent glance at Huo Yirong, "Second Brother, it was bound to happen sooner or later, I was always meant to leave."
It was just that his departure time had been moved up.
Fortunately, in this life, everything had come to a complete and satisfactory conclusion, and he had no regrets.
Huo Yirong suddenly stood up, his anger boiling over as he cursed, "Nonsense! Since you can predict your own death, and it’s the unknown world’s gift to our Huo Family, then go make a trade. The Huo Family doesn’t need any damn blessing, we just want you alive, alive to see out our years together!"
All these years, the reason he hadn’t coveted the position of Family Head of the Huo Family was not only because he was thoroughly convinced of Huo Yunjiao’s methods but also because he knew from their grandfather that his younger brother was no ordinary person.
He was not just the legitimate offspring of the Huo Family; he was also a gift from the heavens to the Huo Family.
As long as the third brother was alive, it would be the greatest fortune for the Huo Family.
But if this damn fortune required a human life in exchange, then the Huo Family would rather not have it.
Huo Yunjiao lifted his gaze to the person standing before him, his thin lips moving slightly, and his tone was light as a breeze, "I never truly belonged to the Huo Family. The Huo Family has thrived for a thousand years only because it was the power I chose to protect Aruan in the Human Realm.
Now that Aruan still has a life-and-death calamity to face, once she has avoided that calamity, I should return my spirit to its rightful place. After the members of the Huo Family pass away in a hundred years, we will have a day to meet again."
The concealed words needed to be carefully tasted to understand the immense amount of information they contained.
Huo Yirong’s face grew extremely somber, a cold aura spreading through his body.
Hearing Huo Yunjiao’s words, he furrowed his brows in deep thought, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don’t care who you are, you are my third brother, the blood sibling I grew up with since childhood!"
Huo Yunjiao, watching his uncontrollable anger and the volatile emotions he could not hide, bowed his head slightly and removed the Kun Tian Ming Buddha Beads from his wrist.
His cool, white fingertips touched the beads, and the eighteen beads instantly scattered.
He gathered them in the palm of his hand, selected one bead, and at the tip of his fingers holding the bead, a faint golden light spread swiftly.
The golden light flashed, and the several cracks on the bead vanished instantly.
Holding the bead, Huo Yunjiao offered it to Huo Yirong, his handsome and cold face revealing a faint smile, "If in the future, Second Brother misses me, use this bead as a medium to see me whenever you wish. This matter must remain between you and me, known by no third party, or it becomes void."
Huo Yirong’s face was still unpleasant, but he quickly snatched the Buddha Bead.
With a sullen expression and his chest heaving rapidly from emotional turmoil, he spat out harshly, "I know you’re going to leave me to clean up the mess again, and I refuse!
Since you can foresee the time of departure, you must have a way to survive this winter. I don’t care how you do it, but this Spring Festival, every member of the Huo Family must gather!"
Huo Yunjiao’s restrained and indifferent face showed a hint of difficulty as he gazed at Huo Yirong’s serious and resolute expression and sighed helplessly.
He compromised and nodded lightly, "Alright—"
