“It’s fine. That’ll be a waste of time.” Huo Yao turned down Fu Cheng’s offer and added. “Oh yes. Remember to have my fees ready.”
The moment Fu Cheng heard what she said, he was stunned briefly. After snapping out of his shock, he quickly acknowledged her. Before he was able to say more, Huo Yao hung up on him.
Fu Cheng held his phone powerlessly. From the looks of it, he could only see her at the hospital.
Fu Cheng quickly called Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was at the Song residence. He looked miserable as he rubbed his forehead anxiously. He had sat on the couch for a long time without saying a word.
Butler Wang sighed in his heart. He poured another cup of tea and handed it to Song Zhi. “Young Master Zhi, don’t worry. I am sure your father will make it.”
Song Zhi shook his head without saying a word.
The butler promptly consoled Song Zhi. “Mr. Fu from the Apothecaries’ Association is going to ask his master for help. Since his master is the deputy chairman, I am sure he can save your father.”
Song Zhi was so anxious from waiting for Fu Cheng to call back. A few hours had already passed since he last spoke to Fu Cheng. If there was anything Fu Cheng could do, he would have called back by now.
Song Zhi exhaled deeply. He put down his hand, picked up the teacup, and finished its contents. However, he remained quiet.
Song Zhi’s phone suddenly rang. His hand froze while holding the teacup. Then, he put it down to retrieve his phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, his eyes almost lit up and he quickly answered the phone.
The butler automatically held his breath as he looked at Song Zhi.
“Uh huh. Thanks. I am coming over immediately. Thank you, Mr. Fu.” Song Zhi sounded excited as he hung up the phone. He stood up, took his coat, and said, “Uncle Wang, I am heading to the hospital. Mr. Fu just got a peerless doctor to help us.”
Butler Wang looked delighted upon hearing this. “I just knew it. I knew Mr. Fu could find a way to save Old Master Song. I will come along to the hospital with you.”
Song Zhi nodded as he took out his phone and called Song Qi.
Song Qi was still at the hospital, so Song Zhi told her to welcome the peerless doctor at the hospital entrance.

After Huo Yao got into the car, she said to Min Yu as he sat in the driver’s seat, “I can’t go home yet. I need to go to the First People’s Hospital.”
“Who’s sick?” asked Min Yu in surprise.
Huo Yao was in a pretty good mood. She tapped her fingers on her knee and replied airily. “It’s work.”
Min Yu’s lips twitched. No wonder she was smiling so happily.
He shook his head and laughed uncontrollably before driving towards the First People’s Hospital.
The university campus was rather close to the hospital, so they arrived in approximately 20 minutes.
Min Yu parked the car in the hospital’s parking lot. Before Huo Yao got off the car, she turned to look at Min Yu. “It should be fast. Why don’t you wait for me in the car?”
If he went with her, she might have trouble collecting the doctor’s fees later.
Min Yu pondered with his hands on the steering wheel. He nodded and said, “Sure.”
“Okay,” acknowledged Huo Yao. She undid her seat belt and opened the car door to get off.
As she walked over to the hospital entrance, she called Fu Cheng to ask where the patient was.
Fu Cheng was still on his way to the hospital. He told Huo Yao to head straight to the main entrance since the patient’s family members were expecting her there.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao walked over to the building unhurriedly.

After Song Qi received the call from Song Zhi, she came downstairs to personally receive the doctor with Zhu standing beside her.
The two of them had been waiting at the door for over ten minutes.
