Huo Yao walked into the living room.
Min Yu was talking on the phone when he saw Huo Yao coming in. The cold look on his face had already disappeared as he told the person on the phone indifferently. “Uh huh. That’s all.”
Min Yu put his phone away and looked at Huo Yao. An air of sophistication radiated from his striking face. “Hi.”
Huo Yao nodded and walked up to stand in front of him. She scrutinised him and nodded as she said, “Good. You are recovering well.”
Min Yu looked into her eyes and raised his brow slightly. “Do you treat every patient like this?”
“Huh?” Huo Yao looked puzzled.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes with a sad feeling in his heart. Then he shook his head and smiled. “Nothing.”
Min Yu gestured for her to take a seat on the couch. He went over to the refrigerator, retrieved a drink, and opened its cap before handing it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao did not take his gesture to heart as she accepted the drink from him.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi saw their boss’s action when they came in. The two of them halted in unison and looked at each other.
They could sense that something was amiss.
“I didn’t think we would end up being neighbors again.” Min Yu sat down on the couch next to Huo Yao and sounded a bit surprised.
Huo Yao took a sip before placing the bottle on the table. She looked up and replied lazily. “It’s some twisted destiny.”
Min Yu’s lips twitched.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi came upto them.
Huo Yao looked at Zhuo Yun.
“I thought you had something urgent to attend to?” asked Huo Yao quizzically.
Min Yu’s eyes landed on Zhuo Yun as well.
Zhuo Yun could not help coughing uneasily under their stares. He replied in a neutral tone. “I’m done now.”
There was no way Zhuo Yun was going to come clean with Huo Yao and admit that he was afraid to run into her father.
It was simply too embarrassing.
“That was fast,” replied Huo Yao thoughtfully as she leaned into the couch.
Zhuo Yun took the wooden box and passed it to Huo Yao. “Can you take a look at the medicine inside?”
Huo Yao looked at the box, and her temples started throbbing. She opened it and took out the porcelain bottle. She spotted the logo beneath it right away.
She opened the cap and put it back on after taking a whiff.
Zhuo Yun hurriedly asked, “Is this medicine good for Yu? Will it help cure his ailment?”
Huo Yao’s face relaxed and replaced the bottle inside the wooden box. “No, it’s useless.”
The shred of hope lingering on Zhuo Yun’s face instantly dissipated.
Huo Yao looked at him and asked him. “Where did you get this from?”
“We bought it through special channels. It is supposed to be good for curing all kinds of rare illnesses,” explained Yang Yi slowly.
Huo Yao looked a little disappointed. This medicine was genuinely excellent for many rare conditions. However, it could not cure Min Yu’s long-time ailment. She contemplated for two seconds before responding. “It’s good stuff for sure. But the effectiveness depends on the patients’ conditions.”
Huo Yao looked at Min Yu. “It can only serve as a supplement for you at best.”
Yang Yi was stunned to hear the outcome.
It was rumored that this medicine hailed from the Shangguan clan. Legend had it that their family possessed extraordinary medical prowess and could cure any illness on earth. However, no one knew where they resided. Hence, all the medicine made by their family was in high demand on the market.
The medicine has passed through a few hands before they finally got their hands on it.
However, Huo Yao said it was useless for curing Min Yu.
