Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: She Can’t Be Agitated Anymore

Min Yu glanced at the dark expression on Huo Yao’s face. It seemed like she suddenly changed into a completely different person.

He tried to console her. “Your grandmother will be fine.”

Huo Yao replied with a small nod. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow over her eyes as she lowered them. She was calm and not anxious.

Very quickly, the hospital ward door opened.

Huo Yao looked up and entered the place quietly.

The doctor removed his mask and looked at Huo Yao and Min Yu sternly. He reprimanded them in a severe voice. “She’s okay for now but can’t you youngsters watch your temper when she’s around? Her heart is weak, and she can’t afford to get agitated again and again.”

Huo Yao’s eyes glinted for a second but she replied with both humility and modesty. “I understand. We will be more careful.”

Perhaps due to her politeness in response to his suggestion, the doctor stopped scolding her. Instead, he said, “Go in and sit with her. Don’t unnerve her again!”

“Okay,” replied Huo Yao as she bowed slightly. After the doctor and nurse left, she went into the ward.

The old lady was yet to regain consciousness. Her mouth was covered with an oxygen mask and she lay in bed quietly while the data on the apparatus next to her pulsed steadily.

Huo Yao glanced calmly at the apparatus. Then she turned to pull up a chair and sat next to the bed.

Huo Yao reached out to gently tuck the old lady in after gazing at her for a while. She subtly held the old lady’s wrist by the side of the bed.

Min Yu sat down next to her as well. He could only see Huo Yao’s profile and failed to detect her tiny actions.

Min Yu’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He veered his eyes away and pulled out his phone. He glanced at the screen before putting the phone back into his pocket.

Approximately two minutes later, his phone vibrated once again. This time it was not a notification but a call.

Min Yu frowned. He glanced at Huo Yao before getting up to leave the room.

He walked out softly without making a sound. Huo Yao turned to look towards the door after it clicked shut. She looked thoughtfully for a second and swung her eyes towards the old lady again.

Min Yu came back into the room before long. Huo Yao slowly placed the old lady’s hand back under the blanket. She turned to raise her head and said to Min Yu, “Thanks for your help tonight. It’s getting late, you should head back to rest. I can stay with her by myself.”

Min Yu raised his brow and said, “No need to be so formal.”

Huo Yao leaned back into the chair lazily. Her exquisite face was not as tense as when she first got to the hospital. She continued to speak in a languid manner. “I’m not trying to be polite. Aren’t you busy though?”

She glanced calmly at his phone, which he had yet to place back into his pocket.

Min Yu was rather surprised by Huo Yao’s keen sense of observation, but she was right, so he paused before saying, “I might be out of the city for a few days. Call me if you need me.”

“Sure,” replied Huo Yao promptly as she waved him away. She clearly did not take the matter to heart.

Min Yu smiled and said, “See you.”

Very quickly, only Huo Yao and the old lady were left in the hospital ward. After the nurse on duty came to check on the patient one last time, Huo Yao lay prone on the bed and rested her head next to the old lady.
