Chapter 1992: Unexpected Meeting with Parents

When Owen left the ward, he called Gao Yong and asked him to come up and help take care of Bai Tingxue after he and Shan Muyu finished the formalities. He went to buy her food.

When Owen came back after buying food, he just walked to the end of the corridor and saw a middle-aged man and woman standing at the door of the ward, as if they were about to open the door and go in.

Owen frowned and hurried forward to ask: "Hello, who are you?"

The two of them heard a foreign greeting unexpectedly, looked at the strange foreign man in front of them, looked at each other, and asked in confusion: "Then who are you..."

"Dad, Mom..." Bai Tingxue in the room seemed to have heard the conversation of several people outside the door and shouted.

Owen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looking at the two of them immediately became more respectful and gentle: "Let's go in and talk first."

Bai's father and mother had not yet woken up from the doubts about how their daughter could know a foreign man and how this foreign man could be here, and saw the man naturally opened the door of the ward and walked in.

Both of them had a hint of surprise in their eyes, but they quickly suppressed it and followed Owen into the door without making a sound.

Bai Tingxue thought that only her parents were outside the door, but she didn't expect that it was Owen who came in first, followed by her parents. She asked stiffly, "Mr. Owen, you're back."

After saying that, she realized that there was something wrong with this sentence. It sounded like a wife's greeting to her husband who had returned from a trip...

Realizing this, Bai Tingxue's face became even redder.

Fortunately, several people did not notice her abnormality. When Bai's mother came in and saw the bandage on her daughter's ankle, she came over with concern and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt? Why did you fall down for no reason? What did the doctor say just now? Is it serious?"

Bai Tingxue hurriedly held Bai's mother's hand and comforted her: "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I just slipped when I was going down the stairs. The doctor said that there was no bone injury and I will be fine after resting for a while. I'm sorry to worry you."

"You are too careless. You can slip when you go down the stairs. Fortunately, it's nothing. Otherwise, your father and I would be very worried." Bai's mother looked at her daughter's haggard face, glanced at the clock in the ward, frowned, and said, "It's this time. Have you eaten? I heard from Mu Yu that you have to stay in the hospital for observation for a night before you can go back. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you?"

"I..."

Before Bai Tingxue finished speaking, Owen had opened the porridge he bought and handed it to her.

"Time is limited, I bought it nearby, you can try it and see if it suits your appetite."

The porridge that Owen bought was packed in a special ceramic lunch box, clean and tidy, with a layer of crisp chopped green onions sprinkled on the porridge, steaming, and looked particularly appetizing.

Bai Tingxue saw Owen handing over the porridge, and hurriedly reached out to take it, accidentally touching his hand.

Bai Tingxue was startled, and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. If Owen hadn't taken his hand back, this bowl of porridge would have been scrapped.

After Bai Tingxue pulled her hand back, she realized that she had overreacted a little. While regretting it, she didn't dare to look at her parents' expressions at the moment.

They all saw what she did just now, what would they think? Would they think that she had a special relationship with Owen? Would they...

Owen looked at Bai Tingxue's evasive eyes, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and took the initiative to speak to help her out: "The bowl is still a little hot, don't move, I'll put it on the table for you."
