Chapter 84: Isn’t Min Yu Your Tutor?

After they left, the old lady quickly looked at Huo Yao and explained. “Yaoyao, I didn’t tell them that you visited me at first because...”

Huo Yao handed over the glass of water to Yang Qiuhua and interrupted her calmly. “I get it. I’m not angry. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Yang Qiuhua instantly felt relieved. She took a sip of water and realized that it was her usual medication. She could not help looking up at Huo Yao in surprise. “Did you go back to get my medicine?”

Huo Yao replied nonchalantly. “Mhm.”

She pulled a chair over with her foot and sat down lazily before she continued. “Why haven’t you been taking the medicine which I gave you?”

Yang Qiuhua tightened her grip on the glass subconsciously. Her eyes wandered around the ward without daring to look straight at Huo Yao as she replied. “I did take them...”

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously looking at Yang Qiuhua without saying a word.

This smile of Huo Yao’s terrified Yang Qiuhua the most. Although she had already come up with an excuse, she could not bring herself to say it and was defeated by Huo Yao’s imposing presence. She sighed and continued softly. “I didn’t purposely skip the medicine. The pills disappeared.”

Huo Yao tapped on the armrest with a look of languor in her eyes. A few seconds later, she said indifferently, “The Lu family must have taken them.”

Yang Qiuhua nodded after a long time. She knew it was impossible to hide anything from Huo Yao.

“Fine, forget about it. Let’s talk about why you suddenly suffered a relapse last night,” said Huo Yao softly. It sounded as though she was talking about something mundane.

But Yang Qiuhua knew this nonchalance was a sign that Huo Yao was already very angry. Yang Qiuhua went quiet for a while before she smiled bitterly and said, “I called up Xiaoman because the pills had gone missing. Other than the nanny and me, she was the only other person who might have known about their whereabouts.”

Despite her vague response, it was evident what had transpired. Huo Yao rubbed her forehead. She sighed helplessly and said, “You can call me directly when you run out of the medicine the next time.”

Yang Qiuhua hung her head and concealed the sadness in her eyes.

Huo Yao did not badger her any longer. Instead, she changed the subject and asked her in confusion. “What’s up with Min Yu? Why did he end up sending you to the hospital last night?”

Yang Qiuhua was surprised by how Huo Yao addressed him. But she replied with a nod. “I might have accidentally dialed his number when I had a relapse. Little Mr. Min is such a kind man. You must give him my thanks.”

She mentioned nothing about how lonely she felt in this unfamiliar city. She could not rely on her daughter, and her dearest granddaughter now had a family of her own. Min Yu was the only other person she knew here, the only person she could call.

“Little Mr. Min?” Huo Yao asked as she tilted her head with a look of befuddlement. “Why are you referring to him as a teacher?”

“Erm... Isn’t he your tutor?” Yang Qiuhua asked her in surprise.

Huo Yao blinked. Although she was unaware of why Yang Qiuhua misunderstood their relationship, it saved her a lot of explaining, so she acknowledged it. “Yes, he’s my tutor.”

When Yang Qiuhua heard Huo Yao, she unsuspectingly sighed and said, “He’s a pretty good tutor. You used to be at the bottom rung in school all the time, but he turned your grades around drastically. Yaoyao, you must invite him over for dinner so that we can thank him properly.”

Huo Yao, “...”
