Recalling that terrifying nightmare, she abruptly sat up on the bed. Without caring about the fact that the wound on her foot had yet to heal, she directly stepped on it and endured the pain as she walked out of the room.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw a female worker carrying a bottle of water to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
Seeing Huo Xiwen get off the bed, the female worker was somewhat surprised. "Miss Huo, why did you come down yourself?"
"What about Chen Yanzhuo? Is he still at the Manor? " she asked, her voice urgent.
"Mr. Chen left the manor before daybreak." "Yes," the woman replied.
Hearing this, Huo XIwen"s little heart was pulled.
Last night"s dream frightened her. She had an intuition that Chen would be in danger.
She turned around and went back to her room. She picked up her phone and dialed Chen Yanzhuo"s number, but the phone was turned off.
This made her feel even more uneasy.
She also didn"t know why she was so worried about him. Obviously, the relations.h.i.+p between them was only the most ordinary of friends.
If anything, he was her savior.
Was it because of this that she was so worried about him?
It should be.
She could only tell herself this.
Chen Yanzhuo"s phone couldn"t be reached. She couldn"t contact him personally, so she could only call Zhao Wei instead. It would be good if she could confirm that he was currently in the company.
Zhao Wei"s phone was picked up after a few rings. A familiar voice came from inside, "h.e.l.lo, Miss Huo."
"Zhao Wei, is Chen Yanzhuo here?"
"a.s.sistant Chen?" He called me last night and asked for leave. He didn"t come to the company today. "
"Didn"t he go to the company?"
"Yes, why? What business do you have with him? "
"I"m worried about him …" Huo Xiwen wanted to say something, but something seemed to have happened on Zhao Wei"s end. She said, "Miss Huo, I have something to attend to here. I"ll take care of it immediately. I"ll call you back later."
After saying that, he directly hung up the phone without waiting for Huo XIwen"s reply.
Huo XIwen put down his phone and sat on the edge of the bed with a blank look on his face.
Chen Yanzhuo didn"t go to work. Could it be that he didn"t go out in the morning and instead went to trade with a drug dealer?
Thinking of this, she found it increasingly difficult to sit still.
After was.h.i.+ng her face and rinsing her mouth, she asked the workers to help her remove the gauze and apply disinfectant to her feet. Then she was helped downstairs, sat in a wheelchair, and pushed to the dining room.
Because she was worried about Chen Yanzhuo, she didn"t have much appet.i.te. She just randomly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and wanted to go out to the yard. However, Old Li stopped her, telling her that it was going to rain soon.
Looking at the cloudy sky, she remembered her nightmare once again. Her heart was beating fast. She clenched her fists and prayed that everything would go smoothly for Chen Hang.
After sitting at the door for who knows how long, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning. It was very scary.
Huo XIwen did not like it when it rained, and he hated the days of thunder and rain even more. These days gave her an extremely depressed and insecure feeling.
Old Li saw her staring blankly outside, afraid that she would be in a bad mood, so she sent Little Du over to chat with her.
It was a pity that Little Du was a rash person and was not good with words. After a few words, she had nothing more to say.
Time seemed to have slowed down. After the heavy rain, it started to rain again. It was drizzling endlessly.
"Miss Huo, you have been sitting here for the whole morning. Lunch has already been prepared. Let me take you to the dining hall to eat something." Old Li asked worriedly when he saw that she had been sitting blankly at the door, looking up at the sky.
"Has it been an entire morning?" At this moment, Huo XIwen came back to his senses. He looked down at the time on his phone, it was already past 12.
"Miss Huo, are you waiting for you here?" Old Li could not help but ask at this moment.
"Old Li, can you contact him? I called his cell phone. He turned it off. " At this time, Huo XIwen only hoped that Li would have another way to get in touch with Chen.
Old Li shook her head. "I only know his cell phone number. Other than this, there"s no other way to contact him."
Hearing that, Huo XIwen"s expression looked dejected. Her head drooped down as she said in a light tone, "I"m not hungry. I won"t be eating lunch. I"ll go upstairs to rest for a while. If he comes back, send someone to my room to let me know. "
"You …" Old Li wanted to persuade her to eat something, but seeing that she had already stood up and was limping toward the stairs with her crutch in one hand, she couldn"t stop her and had to let her go.
After she went upstairs, Little Du walked in front of Old Li and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, what happened to Miss Huo today? "She seems to be in a bad mood and has been waiting for you."
Old Li looked at him, "You"re asking me?"
Little Du nodded.
"How should I know? "Let"s go eat first. It"s raining today, so everyone has nothing to do. In the afternoon, you should go to the supermarket in the city with A Xia and buy some things." Old Li instructed.
Little Du answered with an "oh" and headed off in the direction of the restaurant.
