He Xiaomans eyes opened wide when she heard the hospital presidents words. She had a look of disbelief on her face. She was so startled that she could not even speak straight as she retorted. How... how can that be? I even got a doctor to look at her... her meds. Even the doctor said...

But the hospital president interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Which doctor did you show it to? Is he one of our doctors? If he is really one of ours, I will fire him immediately! Or does Madam He think that Im a hospital president in name only and know nothing about medicine?

The hospital president shook his head speechlessly. People often gave away their emotional and intelligence quotients during heated conversations.

He Xiaoman was mortified and felt utterly embarrassed. The hospital president had been particularly sarcastic in his last two sentences.

He Xiaoman awkwardly parted her lips. Knowing she was in the wrong, she lowered her voice and explained sheepishly. You misunderstood. Thats not what I meant. I was just... My foster daughter grew up in the countryside and knows nothing. How could she get her hands on such good medicine for my mother?

The hospital president pursed his lips without saying a word and strode out of the room.

The attending physician smiled ambiguously at He Xiaoman before turning to follow the hospital president.

How could a person with such valuable medicine in hand be a clueless country bumpkin?

Even if Huo Yao knew nothing about medicine, just the fact she could obtain this, made her extraordinary.

He Xiaoman watched as the attending physician and hospital president left with angry looks on their face. She motionlessly stood there with awkwardness flitting across her eyes.

After He Xiaoman pondered over what the hospital president had said, she suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Yao.

She gnashed her teeth in frustration and said, Are you happy to see me embarrass myself in front of the hospital president? Are you happy now?

Huo Yaos lips curved into an enigmatic smile as she replied. Didnt I tell you how much my meds were worth?

He Xiaoman recalled her foster daughter mentioning these exact words a few days ago, and her face instantly turned darker.

Did you ever tell me what your meds were actually worth? sneered He Xiaoman.

Are you feeling proud now? Do you have a great sense of achievement now that you have managed to make a fool of me?

Xiaoman, just shut up. It was you who misunderstood, but youre blaming it on Yaoyao. You are getting more and more unreasonable, said Yang Qiuhua heartbrokenly.

She could no longer bear it.

He Xiaoman angrily laughed as she said, Heh, am I unreasonable? Mom, who is your real family here? Hmmm?

After a pause, she glanced at Huo Yao and mocked her. Enough. Since you two cant stand the sight of me, Ill make myself scarce while you enjoy your grandmother-granddaughter bonding.

He Xiaoman spun around and left the hospital ward angrily.

Yang Qiuhua gazed at the door for a while before she veered her eyes away. She reached out to hold Huo Yaos hand and said, It has been hard on you, my child. I shouldnt have asked you to come over today.

Huo Yao squeezed her grandmothers hand and replied. I didnt take it to heart, so you dont have to feel bad.

Yang Qiuhua felt even worse after she heard Huo Yao. This child was simply too kind. Each time He Xiaoman misunderstood and reprimanded Huo Yao, she never defended herself because she did not want to hurt Yang Qiuhuas feelings. Regardless of the grievance, Huo Yao accepted it calmly.

Yang Qiuhua sighed deeply before decisively determining in her heart.
