Huo Jinyan sighed softly. “Everyone dies eventually and it really can’t be helped.”
“Sigh.” Song Ning wiped the corner of her eye.
Huo Jinyan raised his hand and patted his wife on the shoulder. He paused and said, “Oh yes. I think I saw Xiaxia at the airport.”
The moment her husband brought up Lu Xia, Song Ning was caught by surprise. She raised her head and asked him. “Are you sure?”
Huo Jinyan nodded. “I doubt I would’ve made a mistake. After all, we’ve lived together for years as a family.”
“What’s she doing at the airport? Did she realize we’re in town?” Song Ning felt puzzled. Since Lu Xia was Old Madam Yang’s eldest granddaughter, she probably had to continue mourning for her grandmother for seven days according to culture.
Huo Jinyan pondered briefly before he replied. “It didn’t look like it.”
Song Ning could not help feeling annoyed just thinking about Lu Xia’s past deeds, so she did not like talking about her. “I don’t care where she is. As long as she stops bothering us, I don’t care what she’s up to.”
“Uh huh,” Huo Jinyan nodded and dropped the subject.

Shortly after Huo Yao got back to Min Yu’s room, Zhuo Yun came back.
“Miss Huo, the kid was sent home safely,” said Zhuo Yun hurriedly.
Huo Yao nodded and thanked Zhuo Yun. She looked at Min Yu. “Do you have her medical records?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu as he handed her a document folder. “Here you go.”
“I asked her doctor and he said Old Madam Yang passed away from heart problems and did not mention any other complications,” said Zhuo Yun as Huo Yao checked out the patient’s medical history.
A serious look emerged on Huo Yao’s face as she read the file, but she said nothing. After reading the medical records swiftly, she retrieved the patient’s test reports. The numbers shown on the test reports corroborated the diagnosis.
The only problem she spotted was with the blood test.
Huo Yao pulled up the blood test results.
“Is something wrong?” asked Min Yu when he saw Huo Yao studying the blood test report.
“Her blood viscosity levels don’t look right. I suspect someone changed the meds I gave her,” explained Huo Yao slowly.
When she went to Old Madam Yang’s funeral, she checked out the box containing her grandmother’s medication. She had been down to her last few pills. On the surface, it seemed completely normal, but she knew how many pills she had given her grandmother. It seemed strange for half the stash to disappear out of the blue.
Even without her medicine, Old Madam Yang could have easily lived for ten more years.
Since she was a physician and knew her grandmother’s condition well, she could not help feeling that there was more to her death.
From the looks of it, she was right.
The moment Zhuo Yun heard what Huo Yao mentioned, he exclaimed in pure shock. “Who could have done that? How could they do that to a nice old lady?”
Min Yu went quiet briefly before he said, “Unfortunately, your grandmother wasn’t quite there when I got to the hospital, so she wasn’t able to tell me more.”
Huo Yao suppressed the sadness inside. “If someone was determined to kill her, she wouldn’t have known better even if she was completely conscious.”
Even if she knew the truth, she probably would not say anything about it.
“Since the culprit was able to change the meds without detection, it was probably someone close to Old Madam Yang, right?” remarked Zhuo Yun.
If someone close to Old Madam Yang had done this to her, then Old Madam Yang had come to a pitiful end.
Zhuo Yun recalled something and added. “Oh yes. I heard that He Xiaoman had been helping to take care of Old Madam Yang. The neighbors often overheard them fighting.”
