Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 207 Sad Moments

In the morning, Tang Xiaqing was concentrating on a meeting in the company's conference room as usual. In the conference room, the light from the projector illuminated the white screen, which was filled with various project data and charts.

At this moment, Tang Xiaqing's phone on the table suddenly vibrated. She subconsciously glanced at the screen and saw that it was her mother calling, and a trace of uneasiness surged in her heart.

Normally, her mother wouldn't call her while she was at work. Even if she had something to say, she would send a message.

She gestured to her colleagues to wait for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the meeting room, closing the door gently.

As soon as the phone was connected, the mother's tearful voice came over: "Daughter, your father fell at home and had a heart attack. He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment..."

Upon hearing the news, Tang Xiaqing felt a buzzing in her head, and she froze for a moment. The hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

She tried to calm herself down and asked anxiously, "Mom, how is Dad now? Which hospital is he in?" Her mother was crying on the other end of the phone and told her the address of the hospital in a halting manner.

Tang Xiaqing didn't have time to think about it. She hurried back to the meeting room, told her secretary to continue presiding over the meeting, grabbed her coat and bag, and rushed to the elevator in a hurry.

As the elevator descended, her heart seemed to be hanging in the air. Her father's figure kept appearing in her mind, and she prayed that her father would be safe.

After arriving at the hospital, Tang Xiaqing trotted all the way to the emergency room. From a distance, she saw her mother sitting on a chair outside the emergency room, her expression distraught.

Seeing Tang Xiaqing coming, her mother stood up, threw herself into her arms and burst into tears: "Daughter, your father couldn't be saved..." Tang Xiaqing felt that her legs instantly lost strength and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She couldn't believe this cruel fact. She stared blankly at the closed door of the emergency room, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to stop turning, the noise and footsteps of the people around gradually faded away, and only endless grief remained in Tang Xiaqing's heart.

When her father was discharged from the hospital last month, the doctor said he had recovered well. How could he leave like this suddenly... She could not accept this reality. Standing in the hospital corridor, tears kept flowing and her body couldn't stop shaking.

After learning the news of Tang Xiaqing's father's death, Dr. Huo immediately called Huo Chenjun.

After the phone rang a few times, Huo Chenjun's steady voice came from the other end: "Hello?"

Dr. Huo didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and hurriedly said, "Brother, do you know? My sister-in-law's father passed away! Where are you now? Do you want to come back for the funeral?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Huo Chenjun's voice came, his tone calm but with a hint of loneliness: "We have broken up, she is no longer your sister-in-law."

Doctor Huo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the two to have come to this point. He quickly asked, "Break up? How could that be...Brother, it's already this time, let's not talk about this for now. Tang Xiaqing must be extremely sad right now. Her father passed away so suddenly. Shouldn't we all..."

Huo Chenjun interrupted him, his voice a little hoarse: "It's over, and I'm in Germany right now. I have an important project and I really can't get away."

Doctor Huo was a little anxious and raised his voice, "Brother, which is more important, the project or the favor? Tang Xiaqing was so good to you before. Even though you broke up, she's going through such a big thing now, and you have the heart to ignore her?"

Huo Chenjun sighed. "If I go back now, it will only make things awkward. Besides, I'm not sure if she'd still like to see me. But, you and Yun Zheng go over there and see if there's anything I can help with. Feel free to call me if you need any help."

Doctor Huo sighed helplessly, knowing that once his brother made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, so he said, "Okay, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Huo shook his head, feeling deeply moved. He knew that his eldest brother, despite appearing strong on the outside, actually had a soft side. He just didn't know whether his eldest brother's insistence was right or wrong this time.

Huo Chenjun, who was far away in Germany, hung up the phone and looked out the window at the bustling street scene. A trace of loneliness and melancholy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it and threw himself back into his busy work.

Upon hearing the news of Tang's father's death, his heart suddenly tightened. For a moment, he almost wanted to drop everything and fly back to China.

However, when he thought of Tang Xiaqing's resolute look when she proposed to break up, the word "break up" seemed to still echo in his ears, and his heart sank again.

Besides, the project here is at a critical stage, and many matters require his personal control, so he cannot be away.

After hesitating for a long time, reason finally overcame emotion. He told himself that since Tang Xiaqing had already made her choice, there was no reason for him to disturb her anymore.
