It was not very crowded in the hospital since it was evening.
The nurse went all the way down and searched for Huo Yao in the hospital lobby but to no avail. She hurried to the hospital entrance, yet there was still no sign of Huo Yao. After standing at the entrance for a while, she walked back upstairs with her shoulders slumped.

Huo Yao had already gotten onto a taxi and was heading towards her grandmother's apartment.
She was gazing out of the car's window. Her usually calm and expressionless face had disappeared and was replaced by a mature look beyond her tender age.
Huo Yao took out her phone and called her grandmother's phone again, but all she got was the same cold automated reply that her phone was off.
She should have noticed that something was amiss with her grandmother yesterday.
Huo Yao's expression turned even darker as she rubbed her fingers against her forehead.
