Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Ning Tingbei kept calling, urging Huo Chenjun to go home and accompany her, so Huo Chenjun drove back.

The moment Huo Chenjun stepped into the house, the air was almost smoky. Ning Tingbei crossed his arms, discontent written across his face, his tone slightly sharp: "Why are you back so late? Don't you know I'm waiting for you?"

"My mother was in a serious car accident and has been in surgery. She just came out of the operating room when I came back." Huo Chenjun explained.

"Your brother is a doctor. With him here and so many other doctors in the hospital, can't you come back earlier to accompany me? I'm pregnant now, and an elderly mother at that." Ning Tingbei was very unhappy.

Facing Ning Tingbei's questioning, Huo Chenjun tried his best to remain calm and explained patiently: "I am also concerned about your situation. If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately, okay?" Ning Tingbei was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Her brows frowned even tighter and her voice rose a few degrees: "You always have an excuse! When you knew how much I needed you, you should have appeared here the first time!" Her words were full of blame.

Huo Chenjun shook his head helplessly.

Ning Tingbei's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Huo Chenjun's heart.

He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, even though his heart was churning. "I don't want to be in this situation today." His voice was a little tired, but still sincere.

Ning Tingbei's temper had worsened since she became pregnant, but Huo Chenjun endured it again and again for the sake of the child.

Huo Chenjun returned to the study and sighed. Today in the hospital, he could see that Ning Tingnan still had feelings for Huo Chenyuan. If it weren't for her sister Ning Tingbei, they might have been married by now, but now it can only be a regret. Although her sister regretted it later and had been trying to make up for it over the years, it was too late.

Seeing Huo Chenyuan still staying in the ward, Ning Tingnan refused to leave.

The two former lovers were now sitting on the sofa in the ward.

In the dead of night, the breathing sounds in the ward and the occasional light footsteps outside intertwined together, forming a late-night lullaby.

Ning Tingnan's heart was in turmoil. She looked at Huo Chenyuan who was concentrating on taking care of Huo's mother, and the familiar and complex emotion quietly surged in her heart.

Once upon a time, in Canada, a foreign country, when Ning Tingnan was sick, Huo Chenyuan also took care of her patiently in the same way.

After Huo's mother fell asleep, Ning Tingnan pulled Huo Chenyuan to the corridor.

Ning Tingnan mustered up her courage and spoke softly, "Chenyuan, actually..." She paused before she finished, her eyes wandering, as if weighing how to proceed. Finally, she mustered her courage again, "I know you're not someone I should bother, since you already have a family. But I have to admit, my feelings for you haven't changed over the years."

Huo Chenyuan turned around and met Ning Tingnan's gaze. "Tingnan, I understand how you feel, but you also know that we can't go back, right?"

Hearing the words "We can't go back", Ning Tingnan couldn't stop crying anymore.

Ning Tingnan's eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks like beads with broken strings. She tried hard to control her breathing and tried to suppress the surging tide of emotions in her heart, but the tears still slid down.

But Huo Chenyuan's words touched the softest part of her heart, where were hidden emotions that had not been fully released for many years.

Ning Tingnan sobbed, her voice small but heavy: "I know, I know everything... After so many years, I thought I could forget you."

Huo Chenyuan stood beside her without saying a word.

Ning Tingnan's voice trembled: "I thought that time would take away everything, even the unforgettable memories. But every time I see you, those images will come flooding back like a tide, making it impossible to resist."

She squeezed her eyes shut in a futile attempt to stop more tears from spilling out.

Huo Chenyuan stood quietly by the side, and felt deeply moved when he heard this.

He knew very well that even if he wanted to maintain the status quo and tell Ning Tingnan that he already had a family, seeing her so sad, his determination began to waver.

Huo Chenyuan once swore that he would never forgive Ning Tingnan.

Huo Chenyuan closed his eyes, and a series of long-forgotten past events emerged in his mind - memories that he had deliberately avoided.

He once vowed that he would never forgive Ning Tingnan because the breakdown of their relationship in the past hurt him so deeply that he still feels heartbroken when he thinks about it.

At that time, facing the fact of breaking up with Ning Tingnan, Huo Chenyuan's world seemed to collapse.

That deep feeling suddenly turned to dust, leaving behind only endless pain. Years passed, and on the surface, Huo Chenyuan had already learned to hide all the pain deep in his heart.

However, when he faced Ning Tingnan crying again, the resentment and stubbornness in his heart seemed to be replaced by an inexplicable tenderness.

He saw the regret and helplessness in her eyes, as well as the feelings that had not changed.

This wavered his resolve, and a crack appeared in the once solid wall of his heart. At that moment, Huo Chenyuan sighed softly, opened his eyes, and looked at Ning Tingnan gently, saying in a gentle tone, "What happened between us was complicated back then, but you can't be blamed entirely."

He realized that the kindness and compassion in human nature often lead people into an emotional vortex.

"Chenyuan," Ning Tingnan felt as if she could no longer suppress the turmoil in her heart, and tears poured out like a flood. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she buried her head deeply in Huo Chenyuan's chest. It was a long-lost sense of security that made her temporarily forget all her worries and pain.

Huo Chenyuan tried to push her away, but hesitated when he thought about the large amount of blood transfusion she had just given to Huo's mother.

"Chen Yuan..." Ning Tingnan's voice was trembling and weak, mixed with tears, "I...have never been able to get over it all these years, I don't know what to do..." Every word seemed to be squeezed out from a broken heart, carrying too much helplessness and fragility.

Before Huo Chenyuan could push her away, he was seen by Lin Yunzheng who had returned to get her cell phone.
