“Yao, what are you doing at the hospital?”
Tong Yu was herel to ask his friend about the pill that Huo Yao gave Huo Xiang. He did not expect to bump into her at this place. Since it was the hospital and not some shopping center, he looked at Huo Yao and asked her worriedly. “Are you okay?”
Huo Yao nodded to Tong Yu politely and said, “Yes, I’m fine. My classmate’s father was hospitalized, so I came to visit him.”
“I see,” said Tong Yu with a smile.
“Are you going home now?”
“Yup.”
“I’m leaving too. Let me give you a lift,” said Tong Yu warmly.
Since she was such a beautiful girl, it was unsafe for her to go home alone.
“No, thanks. I can get a cab,” rejected Huo Yao politely.
A blatantly distant look emerged on her face as though they were not well acquainted, and she wanted him to stay out of her way.
Tong Yu touched his nose. They were certainly biological siblings. Even their expressions were similar.
Tong Yu coughed awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something else, his doctor friend suddenly came chasing after him with an anxious look on his face. He said anxiously, “Tong Yu, wait up. That medicine...”
The moment those words came out of his mouth, he noticed Huo Yao standing next to Tong Yu, so he automatically stopped and said, “...Oh, sorry. Did I interrupt you?”
Tong Yu shook his head and said, “No, you didn’t.”
But Tong Yu’s friend was referring to the medicine he had just shown him. Was there something wrong with it?
Tong Yu recalled that it was a gift from Huo Xiang’s little sister... so he cleared his throat and said, “Let’s talk in your office.”
The doctor nodded and agreed.
Tong Yu turned to look at Huo Yao. But before he could utter a word, Huo Yao said, “Carry on, please.”
She left the hospital and Tong Yu headed back to his friend’s office.
The doctor did not bring him to his cabin and led him to the hospital president’s office instead.
Although Tong Yu was perplexed, he did not say anything.
An old man with greying hair sat in the office along with the hospital president. The old man stood up when he saw Tong Yu and looked at him with his eyes burning brightly. He was holding the same pill in his hand.
“Excuse me, where did you get this medicine from?” The old man was none other than Old Mr. Pei, who had helped Min Yu check his incense sticks.
He was friends with the hospital president and happened to be visiting today when Tong Yu came to enquire about this pill.
Tong Yu’s eyes landed on the medicine in Old Mr. Pei’s hand. In a quiet voice, he said, “A friend gave it to me.”
Old Mr. Pei got excited and asked him. “Is your friend trained in pharmacology? Mind introducing us?”
The hospital president looked at Old Mr. Pei in surprise. After being acquainted for so many years, it was the first time he saw Old Mr. Pei getting so emotional. Then he looked at the pill in Old Mr. Pei’s hand again.
What medicine was this?
Tong Yu did not understand why this old man was so animated. However, he could tell from his eyes that he had studied Huo Yao’s medicine thoroughly.
“My friend doesn’t understand pharmacology. But what is this medicine for? Is it suitable for spinal injury? Does it have any side effects?” asked Tong Yu nonstop. This was all that he cared about.
Old Mr. Pei’s expression altered as he looked at Tong Yu the moment he asked him about side effects. If Tong Yu was his disciple, he would have probably hit him with a stick by now.
How could such rare medicine land in the hands of such a blind idiot?!
