Chapter 108: Where Did The Medicine Come From?
“Hello, Grandma... Okay, I’ll be right over.”
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao narrowed her eyes slightly before heading to the roadside to hail a cab to get to the hospital.
Suddenly, a black car came over and pulled up right in front of her. Huo Tingrui’s handsome and refined face emerged after he rolled the window down.
Huo Yao looked at the driver in surprise and said, “Brother Tingrui?” Then she glanced at the car logo on the steering wheel quizzically.
Previously, he had driven a BMW, this time it was a Mercedes-Benz.
All those rumors about her older brothers being laggards seemed to come crashing down, once again.
Huo Tingrui failed to detect the look of surprise in his little sister’s eyes. Instead, he raised his brow and said, “Get in. I’ll give you a ride back.”
But Huo Yao shook her head and turned him down. “I’m not going home yet. I have to head to the hospital.”
“The hospital?” said Huo Tingrui perplexedly.
“The granny, who raised me, was hospitalized a few days ago, so I’m going to visit her,” said Huo Yao without hiding anything.
A grave look appeared on Huo Tingrui’s face as he said, “I’ll send you there. I can take this opportunity to visit her as well.”
Huo Yao contemplated for a moment before taking him up on his offer. She opened the car door and got in. Settling in, she gave him the hospital address.
When Lu Xia walked out of the campus and spotted Huo Yao getting into the black Mercedes-Benz, she could not help narrowing her eyes and her expressions turned stiff for a few seconds. Recovering quickly, she walked towards the Lu family’s chauffeured car and opened the car door as well.
“Follow that black Mercedes-Benz,” said Lu Xia to the chauffeur from the backseat.

Huo Yao and Huo Tingrui arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later.
Huo Tingrui felt it was unbecoming to visit a person empty-handed, so he told Huo Yao to head up to the ward first while he went to the nearby supermarket to get some gifts.
Since he was persistent about this matter, Huo Yao let him go gift shopping while she quickly went upstairs.
Other than her grandmother, the attending physician and the hospital president were also present in the hospital room at this moment.
As soon as Huo Yao entered, a look of joy swept over Yang Qiuhua and she said, “Yaoyao, you’re here.”
Huo Yao had a gentle look in her bright eyes. She replied softly. “Mhm.”
She walked over to place her sling bag on the chair by the side while her eyes landed on the attending doctor and hospital president. She turned her gaze towards her grandmother and asked her in a slightly confused tone. “Why did you want to see me?”
The attending physician glanced at the hospital president. Then he got up and said politely, “The thing is, after we gave your grandmother a check-up, we discovered she was recovering very well. So we asked her for the reason and found out that she is taking some different medication.”
Huo Yao’s expression altered slightly. She had a rough idea of what they wanted to ask.
“I asked Old Madam Yang for some of that concoction in the afternoon. After studying it, I discovered that it was exceptionally good for the heart, so I wanted to ask Miss Huo where you bought it from.”
The attending doctor sounded hopeful when he put forward the request.
Huo Yao looked at him as she picked up the fruit knife and pared an apple unhurriedly. Then she calmly replied. “Sorry, a friend of mine made this medicine and isn’t keen on selling it.”
A look of disappointment swept across the attending physician and hospital president’s eyes when they heard her.
