Chapter 392 - 392 Xiao Ming's Death
392 Xiao Ming’s Death
That was the detoxification medical plan that Huo Xiaoran had made for Xiao Ming. However, the entire record was for Xiao Ming to take medicine and undergo self-recovery training. It was no different from letting him fight against his illness.
Qiao An did not understand Huo Xiaoran’s intentions, until the next day when the bad news of Xiao Ming’s illness came from the hospital. Qiao An rushed to the hospital with Huo Xiaoran.
Xiao Ming had already been pushed to the emergency center. The Xiao family and Old Master Huo came to visit Xiao Ming. Lu Qianqian leaned into Mrs. Lu’s arms with a sad expression. Mrs. Lu looked worried and kept comforting Lu Qianqian.
“It’s okay. Xiao Ming is lucky. He’ll be fine.”
But soon, the doctor walked out of the emergency room and shook his head at Mr. Xiao helplessly. “I’m sorry. We tried our best. His internal organs are failing. There’s nothing we can do.”
Everyone found this sad news unbelievable.
Mr. Xiao hated Xiao Ming for being useless, but at this moment, tears streamed down his face. “How did this happen? Didn’t you say yesterday that his condition stabilized?”
Lu Qianqian said, “I know Xiao Ming’s physique the best. If there wasn’t an emergency, he definitely wouldn’t have died. I request to investigate Xiao Ming’s death.”
The doctor said, “He was poisoned with thallium. You should know that this is a poison that modern medicine can’t cure.”
Lu Qianqian roared, “His dosage isn’t fatal.”
Huo Xiaoran frowned and looked at Lu Qianqian. “How do you know that his dosage is not fatal?”
Lu Qianqian was speechless. Then, she hesitated for a moment and said, “If the dosage of his poison was very high, his condition wouldn’t have been so good a few days ago. That’s why I concluded that it was a medical accident caused by the hospital’s improper treatment.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “You’re not a doctor, so you probably don’t know that every poison has its own attack cycle.”
Lu Qianqian stopped talking.
Not long after, Xiao Ming was pushed out. His face was already covered with a white cloth. Lu Qianqian collapsed and pounced on him. “Xiao Ming, you lied to me. You won’t abandon me, right?” she cried.
She lifted Xiao Ming’s white cloth, but when she saw his bruised face, she staggered back in fear.
Old Madam Xiao doted on this grandson the most and almost fainted at the door of the ward. “My grandson! How can you be so heartless as to let me send you off.”
Old Master Xiao endured his huge sorrow and still wanted to comfort his wife. “Madam, don’t be like this. Let Xiao Ming leave well.”
The old lady punched the old man. “I regret marrying you. In this life, not only have I lived in fear every day, but I also have to experience the pain of losing my descendant every time. Why, why did I meet you?”
Qiao An felt the old lady’s sorrow and her eyes instantly turned red. She held Huo Xiaoran tightly and endured the torture in her heart.
Huo Xiaoran pulled her into his arms and stroked her forehead affectionately with his chin, feeling her trembling body.
Everyone was immersed in grief. Huo Xiaoran said to the staff helplessly, “Send him to the morgue.”
Lu Qianqian forced herself to pull herself together and said sadly, “Let me send him over.
She pushed Xiao Ming’s cart toward the morgue.
The staff led the way to a very sinister and terrifying place. The staff said, “This will do.”
Lu Qianqian said sadly, “Go ahead. I want to talk to him.”
The staff left.
Lu Qianqian lifted the white cloth and looked at Xiao Ming steadily. She muttered to herself, “Xiao Ming, you shouldn’t have died. This small amount of shit shouldn’t have killed you. You must not have died, right? This must be your scheme to escape, right?”
“Hmph, since you want to play dead, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
A ruthless glint flashed across Lu Qianqian’s eyes as a sharp knife slid out of her sleeve. Just as she was about to stab Xiao Ming’s heart, an ice needle shot out from the corner and pierced her neck accurately.
A cold liquid entered her veins.
Lu Qianqian was so shocked that she quickly turned around. The sharp knife in her hand flew out and landed in the corner with a clang.
Soon, Lu Qianqian fell on Xiao Ming’s corpse because of the poison.
The shadow in the corner retreated quickly.
Xiao Ming’s death sank the Xiao family into great sorrow.
In order to help her sister share her burden, Old Madam Huo took the initiative to suggest, “Why don’t I preside over Xiao Ming’s funeral?”
Mr. Xiao said sadly, “He made so many mistakes when he was alive. It’s not a glorious funeral. Find a time to cremate him at the funeral parlor.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou and said, “Zhou Zhou, look at how sad Uncle and the others are after seeing their children die. I’ll leave Xiao Ming’s cremation to you.”
Huo Zhou said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it.”
At this moment, Huo Zhou realized that Lu Qianqian had disappeared and was very worried. “Where did Qianqian go?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I didn’t see her again after sending Xiao Ming to the morgue. Could she still be in the morgue?”
Huo Zhou was worried about Qianqian’s safety and immediately went to the hospital morgue. As expected, Qianqian fainted on Xiao Ming’s corpse.
Huo Zhou sighed in his heart. He felt that Qianqian was deeply in love with Xiao Ming. That was why Qianqian was so sad after Xiao Ming died. She must have fainted from grief.
This made Huo Zhou determined that he would arrange for Xiao Ming to be cremated as soon as possible. Only then might the pain of the living be alleviated.
In the dark morgue, Huo Zhou covered Xiao Ming with a white cloth. Then, he informed the funeral parlor to come over and quickly pull Xiao Ming to the funeral parlor.
Because the Xiao family calmly dealt with Xiao Ming’s funeral, there were no relatives or friends to send him off. Only Huo Xiaoran, Qiao An, Xiao Yue, and Huo Zhou held a simple farewell ceremony for him before Xiao Ming’s corpse was dragged away.
Xiao Yue suddenly cried bitterly. “Brother…”
Qiao An hugged her as Xiao Yue cried her heart out. “Sister Qiao An, my brother is so pitiful. He left so pitifully…”
Qiao An’s eyes were red. Yes, Xiao Ming had left so pitifully.
Because he had taken drugs, this was an unforgivable mistake to the Xiao family.
Because the Xiao family was a respected family, how could they tolerate their children getting addicted to drugs? But they did not know that they had misinterpreted Xiao Ming’s heart.
Xiao Ming should have been honored with flowers and applause, but he left the world in an inglorious manner. Tears streamed down Qiao An’s face as she thought about this.
Xiao Ran walked over and patted her back gently.
Qiao An looked at him with tears in her eyes but suddenly realized that his shirt was stained red with blood.
