My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

By the time He Chang Min had took picture of what he needed and took the phone to his possession, he went out from Xie Hue Lin’s room as she didn’t came back after almost half an hour leaving him there.

When he opened the door, wind came toward him, and he saw some maids running in a hurry. Seeing more people running, He Chang Min stopped one of the people, "What’s wrong, where are they going?"

The maid was in a terrible hurry but upon seeing it was He Chang Min, she decide to tell what had took place in the shortest words, "The old madam fell from the stairs!"

He Chang Min’s eyes widened and he immediately ran from the place to where people had gathered. All maids were busy stopping the wound that started on Grandmother Xie’s forehead. Coming there, He Chang Min check the grandmother’s breathings which was faint and irregular, "Have you called for the ambulance?"

"It is on it’s way!" replied one of the maid.

"We need to bring mother to a better place," suggested Mrs. Xie who stood from the far that He Chang Min didn’t notice. The maid quickly went to do what Mrs. Xie ordered but He Chang Min extended his hand to stop them

"Don’t move her until the ambulance come, we won’t know what we do is going to worsen the situation or not," He continue to check Mrs. Xie’s pulse. In the entire house, the only ally to Li Lian was Grandmother Xie. Knowing this and knowing how well grandmother Xie had treated him, He Chang Min frowned in worry. He looked up at the stairs where the old woman could have fall then looked away toward Mrs. Xie, only noticing Xie Hue Lin after a while. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xie Hue Lin was struck silence, as if in shock and fear. Seeing her expression which was different than how most people would react He Chang Min frowned, narrowing his eyes.

"What happened here?" he asked, the question was directed to Xie Hue Lin who stood not too far from him. Xie Hue Lin felt her skin jump over He Chang Min’s question.

"It’s because that good for nothing!" interrupted Mrs. Xie, her voice was loud to bring all attention divided between Grandmother Xie and her.

He Chang Min raised his brows, his furrowed brows tightened, "What does Li Lian have to do with this now?"

"This," Mrs. Xie shoved the letter toward He Chang Min for him to read. He Chang Min didn’t know what the letter was and he pulled it for read. The content was far from making sense, he knew it wasn’t Li Lian, yet the writing was hers. "I should have never brought her back to this family!" shouted Mrs. Xie, reciting the words she had always said when meeting Li Lian aloud in anger.

Not wanting to hear it, He Chang Min interrupted her words, "Who saw grandmother the last time?"

Everyone looked at each other, Mr. Xie had left to work therefore only Xie Hue Lin and her mother was present. It goes without the need of evidence who was the one that had pushed grandmother Xie, and He Chang Min sharply look at Xie Hue Lin who became conscious of his gaze.

"It was me," the maid raised her hand hesitatingly, "I saw Old Madam in her room, she asked me to brew her tea. I think it was around half an hour ago, but she wasn’t in her room."

"Are you thinking someone had pushed grandmother?" Mrs. Xie asked He Chang Min as he was about to investigate the people inside the house.

He Chang Min was more than ready to point his finger to Xie Hue Lin, who he knew had done something that lead to Grandmother falling from the stairs. He was well acquainted with Madam Xie, and knows how wise she was. She would not read a letter while descending down the stairs, knowing how old she was and how dangerous it was to walk while reading something.

"I was only questioning to know whether there was anyone who saw grandmother slipping, because it would have been dangerous," He Chang Min clenched his hand, deciding to stay neutral so he would be able to find the root of this accident. "Who found grandmother?"

Xie Hue Lin’s hand clutched tighter, and Mrs. Xie aloud, "Me."

"The ambulance is here!" the maid suddenly came breaking the silence, and people quickly forget what happened as they needed to move Madam Xie to the hospital as soon as possible.

While all people quickly vacate from the place and Mrs. Xie went to follow grandmother Xie in the ambulance, Xie Hue Lin fell left behind, and she followed for He Chang Min to stop her.

Xie Hue Lin was too in shock that he almost forgot about how He Chang Min had betrayed her. Her emotions were all out of place, and she looked at him in fear. All this time he had stared her while bombarding question as if he knows something.

"I need to go," Xie Hue Lin said hastily but He Chang Min’s hands on her instead tightened.

"Don’t you have anything to say to me?" he asked with his face facing beyond Xie Hue Lin’s back as they were walking the opposite way.

Xie Hue Lin casted her eyes slowly to the corner of her eyes to meet He Chang Min’s eyes. It took her a great pause to say, "What do I have to say?"

He Chang Min didn’t hide his disappointment, "Okay," he said, letting her go. Xie Hue Lin left and walk but occasionally turn her head to look at He Chang Min, feeling her heart growing heavier as she took more steps to leave.

Deciding to also leave, He Chang Min turned his back, walking toward the entrance but his phone rang, taking it out from his pocket, his frown only got tighter when he saw it was a call from his mother, telling him to go back home, leaving everything even the condition of Madam Xie.
