Chapter 216 - : The Medicine Is Gone

After returning to the Huo family, Mo Zhu followed Huo Xuan into the house. Just as she entered, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She skillfully took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. She frowned slightly before answering the call.

She placed the receiver beside her ear. A few seconds later, she heard something and Mo Zhu’s expression darkened. She asked coldly, “What did you say? Repeat it!”

When Huo Xuan heard this voice, he stopped in surprise and turned to look at Mo Zhu.

“Ms. Mo, your grandmother suddenly fell ill just now. The special medicine in the hospital has just been used up. I called the Acupuncture Research Center just now and they said that it was just yesterday when someone bought all the suitable special medicine. Is Young Master Huo by your side? Can you ask him to help think of a way to transfer some from another hospital…”

When Mo Zhu heard this, her eyes were as cold as ice. She stood quietly on the spot with her head lowered, and the aura around her instantly dropped a few degrees.

Huo Xuan acutely sensed that the girl’s mood was a little unstable. He turned around and quickly walked two steps to Mo Zhu’s side. He frowned and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Mo Zhu hung up the phone and looked up at Huo Xuan nervously. Her voice was low as she said, “The hospital called me to say that Grandma’s special medicine is gone. The rest of it in the research institute has been bought.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he understood that Mo Zhu was worried about her grandmother’s safety. He raised his hand and gently touched the girl’s hair before saying comfortingly, “Don’t worry too much. Grandma’s condition will definitely stabilize. I’ll call and ask if there is any special medicine left. I’ll get them to send them to Cloud City immediately!”

After saying this, Huo Xuan took out his phone and started contacting people one by one. Mo Zhu followed closely behind the man and stood a few meters away from Huo Xuan, staring nervously at his figure.

After a while, Huo Xuan hung up the last call and shook his head lightly. He was just about to turn around and go to the room to look for Mo Zhu when he saw the girl standing by the side waiting for him. Huo Xuan took two steps forward with a dark expression.

“Just now, my people found that most of the medicine in the hospital had been secretly changed by someone this morning. The rest of the special medicine had just been used up in the afternoon, that’s the reason why they didn’t have any medicine for her when Grandmother’s illness suddenly acted up.”

After a pause, he frowned and continued, “The remaining medicine in the research institute was deliberately purchased by some mysterious person yesterday. If my news is correct, all the special medicine in the country is controlled by someone now. They can’t be purchased through normal means in the market!”

At this moment, Huo Xuan was also in a very bad mood. Previously, in order to protect Zhang Fen better, he had specially arranged for quite a number of people to stay in the hospital and watch the movements in the hospital and wards day and night.

Ever since the special medicine was put into the market and used on Zhang Fen, he had arranged for someone to specially prepare a few more doses in the hospital every month. He was afraid that there would be a day when the medicine would be out of stock and his grandmother would suddenly fall ill. He did not expect that this time, he would be taken advantage of by someone with ill intentions.

When Mo Zhu heard Huo Xuan’s explanation, she lowered her eyes and pondered quietly for a moment before saying, “Alright, I understand. I’ll contact my friends to see if there’s any other way.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu stood up and entered the room. She took out her phone and quickly pressed a string of numbers, immediately making a video call.

A few seconds later, the call was picked up and Cheng Yi’s face suddenly appeared on the phone screen. He looked at the girl in front of him who was probably still underage and lowered his head to carefully confirm the number again. He asked in a daze, “K’s call? Why did a little girl suddenly appear?”

Mo Zhu did not have time to waste on him. She frowned and said bluntly, “You’re not wrong, I’m K..”

Mo Zhu's mother remarried after her father went missing, and she had lived in the countryside with her elderly grandmother ever since. The girl who had no parents wanted to protect herself. Therefore, to avoid getting bullied, she had turned wild since she was a child—she played truant, fought, and drank. There was nothing she did not know how to do. She was a problematic student in the eyes of her teachers, a big sister in the eyes of her classmates, and a hooligan in the eyes of her acquaintances. When she was eighteen, her birth mother retrieved her to live at her stepfather's house. Everyone in the village claimed that she was going to live a happy life in the city, that her mother had not forgotten that she had a daughter here. "Mo Zhu, the Huo family is one of the most powerful families in the country. It's your good fortune to replace your younger sister in marrying into the Huo family. You have to cherish this opportunity," explained her mother patiently as she held Mo Zhu's hand. Mo Zhu's eyes were filled with sorrow. At that instant, she knew why her mother thought of her. Inviting her over to the city to enjoy life was simply a figment of her imagination—she was simply an exploitable piece of trash that her mother could sacrifice. The Eldest Young Master of the Huo family fell severely ill recently. He did not just develop a twisted personality, but also became violent and cruel. His face had been completely ruined and he had only two years left to live. Mo Zhu's younger sister was supposed to be Eldest Young Master Huo's fiancée, but the ruined young master was no longer a suitable match. Fearing the Huo family's influences, her mother did not dare to cancel the marriage, thus she sent Mo Zhu under the bus to protect her younger sister. However, was Mo Zhu truly just a useless simpleton who knew how to smoke, drink, and fight? No! That was simply a disguise she used for self-defense since she was a girl without parents. After marrying into the Huo family, she stopped smoking, drinking, and fighting. She became the best daughter-in-law a mother-in-law could ever have; the best wife a husband could ever have. What never occurred to anyone was she no longer flunked in her studies. In fact, she transformed into a straight-A student. Half a year later, she enrolled in the best university in the country and majored in specialized medicine. Determined to become an excellent doctor, she cured her husband's illness completely in merely two years. That handsome and suave Eldest Young Master Huo returned. After Huo Xuan's recovery, he allocated a huge budget and held the biggest wedding of the century for Mo Zhu. During the grand wedding ceremony, Huo Xuan announced during his speech, "In this lifetime, there are two people I'm most grateful for other than my parents. One of them is my mother-in-law. Thank you for despising me after I fell ill and forcing my wife to marry me in her younger sister's stead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the most important person in my life! The second person must be my wife! She never despised me when I was at my lowest. Instead, she takes good care of me. She's an angel sent by God, and she has saved me with her forgiveness and kindness, granting me a second chance at life."
