Before Huo Yao left home in the morning, she had told Huo Tingrui about her plans to visit her grandmother at the hospital today and politely rejected his offer to pick her up from school.
Huo Yao hailed a cab for herself and headed to the hospital right after school.
But the moment she opened the hospital ward door, she found the room to be empty. Even the blankets were neatly folded on the bed. Her expression instantly altered.
Huo Yao was stunned. She recalled the old lady's odd behavior yesterday before she left and felt anxious. She quickly retrieved her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
[Sorry, the number you have dialed is unreachable…]
Huo Yao inhaled deeply. She hung up and put her phone away before walking out.
At the nurses' station.
"Excuse me. Where has Yang Qiuhua from room 503 gone?" asked Huo Yao as she looked at the nurse.
Huo Yao sounded calm and did not seem too anxious.
