The moment Lu Xia heard Huo Yao's name, her eyes subconsciously froze for a moment.
But without a change in her voice, she said, "Doesn't she know that Granny is hospitalized? Why would she turn up at the apartment? Did she go there to fetch something for Granny?"
He Xiaoman shook her head and replied with a frown. "She wasn't there to pick up anything. The nanny said Huo Yao asked her whether your grandmother was home. When the nanny told her that she wasn't there, Huo Yao left immediately."
A quizzical look surfaced on Lu Xia's face as well. "What is she up to?"
After contemplating for a few seconds, Lu Xia said, "Mom, it seems awfully strange. Why don't we call Granny and find out?"
"I was also thinking the same," said He Xiaoman with a nod. She retrieved her phone and quickly dialled the old lady's number.
But soon, He Xiaoman's confused expression changed into a frown as she hung up and said, "Her phone is off."
