After the old lady regained consciousness, Huo Yao went back to the Huo residence.
By the ti she arrived, it was 8:00 in the morning. Although Huo Yao turned up slightly later than usual from her run, Song Ning did not suspect that she had been out all night. She rely presud Huo Yao ran for a longer ti today.
Huo Yao did not tell Song Ning about it either. After going back to her room for a quick shower, she changed and took out a box from her wardrobe. She opened it to reveal dozens of bottles and removed a light blue porcelain one from the box.
Huo Yao placed the bottle in her bag and went downstairs imdiately. She told Song Ning briefly about her grandmother’s situation and rejected their offer to visit her. Then she headed out in a hurry without even eating her breakfast.
Huo Yao arrived back at the hospital 20 minutes later.
But she caught sight of He Xiaoman, Lu Xia, and an approximately 15 year old boy standing inside the ward’s door. She instinctively halted in her steps looking at them.
“Mom, why didn’t you tell us about your relapse? If the nanny didn’t call to tell , I wouldn’t have found out about it,” said He Xiaoman as she rubbed her forehead.
She was really upset but did not dare to speak harshly to her mother, considering her condition.
Yang Qiuhua sat on the bed with barely any color on her face. She seed to dislike the people in the room and kept up an indifferent expression.
“I’m okay. I don’t need you since there are doctors and nurses here to take care of . Carry on.”
Yang Qiuhua did not know when Huo Yao would co back. She was worried that if she bumped into these people, she would end up getting bullied again.
When He Xiaoman heard her mother talking like this, she beca annoyed and said, “Xiaxia and Ziming ca to visit you with the mont we found out you were hospitalized. Do you have to be so unreasonable towards all of us?”
Yang Qiuhua only looked out of the window without uttering a word.
He Xiaoman felt helpless. She found it unfathomable why her mother kept going against her.
“Mom, calm down. Grandma can’t get upset,” said Lu Xia as she walked up to He Xiaoman and shook her head.
Lu Xia turned to look at her grandmother before pulling up a chair nearby to sit by her bedside. Then she held the old lady’s hand and said gently, “Grandma, don’t get upset with Mom. She’s just very concerned about you.”
Lu Xia’s words helped He Xiaoman calm down a little. Moreover, she was Yang Qiuhua’s biological granddaughter, so Yang Qiuhua was clearly no longer as stiff when she turned to look at Lu Xia but she still remained indifferent.
“I’m fine. Take your mother and brother with you and leave,” said Yang Qiuhua as she subtly pulled her hand out from her grasp.
Lu Xia withdrew her hand but continued persuading Yang Qiuhua gently. “How can doctors and nurses do a better job of caring for you than your family?”
Yang Qiuhua beca instinctively agitated the mont she heard Lu Xia, so she retorted. “But I don’t need it. I have Yao...” She realized midway that she had almost slipped up and swiftly held her tongue.
Unfortunately, He Xiaoman already caught on and asked her furiously. “Are you hoping that Huo Yao will co?”
Yang Qiuhua looked elsewhere and replied in a casual manner. “So what if I do? You were such a bully towards her the last ti!”
He Xiaoman angrily laughed as she said, “? A bully? Don’t you know why I chased her away?”
But right after, she changed the subject and continued. “Fine. Since you’re so protective of her, then tell does she know you’re sick? Did she co to the hospital to take care of you?”
He Xiaoman pointed at Lu Xia and said, “No, she didn’t. Take a close look. Xiaxia is the one visiting you and taking care of you. She’s your real granddaughter!”
