The moment He Xiaoman heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief. She stuttered as she said, "H-how is that possible? Her medicine … I even brought her medicine to the doctor. Even the doctor said that the medicine was … "
Before she could finish her sentence, the hospital director interrupted her once again.
"Which doctor did you take it to? Was he from our hospital? If he really was from our hospital, I would have fired him right away! Or do you think that I'm just an empty shell who doesn't know anything about medicine? "
The hospital director shook his head speechlessly. Not only could one's EQ be seen through one's words, but they could also expose one's intellect.
Some people might seem smart, but in reality, they were not.
He Xiaoman's face turned pale. She felt embarrassed, especially when she heard the hospital director's last two sentences. It was obvious that he was being sarcastic.
He Xiaoman opened her mouth, but she knew she was in the wrong. She lowered her voice and explained sheepishly. "You misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. It's just... My foster daughter doesn't know anything. She grew up in the countryside. Where could she possibly get good medicine for me?"
The hospital director's lips twitched slightly. Without saying a word, he strode out of the ward.
The attending doctor smiled at He Xiaoman indecipherable before he followed the hospital director out.
How could someone with such precious medicine be a country bumpkin who knew nothing about medicine?
Even if she did not know anything about medicine, it was not easy for her to get her hands on the medicine.
He Xiaoman looked in the direction the hospital director and the attending doctor had left with an ugly and awkward look on her face. She stood rooted to the ground like a comical clown.
A moment later, He Xiaoman pondered over what the hospital director had said. She suddenly turned her head and her eyes landed on Huo Yao's face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Are you happy that I embarrassed myself in front of the hospital director? Are you happy now? "
Huo Yao's lips curved into a faint smile. "Didn't I tell you how much my medicine is worth?"
The moment He Xiaoman heard this, she instantly recalled her foster daughter asking her how much her medicine was worth a few days ago. Her face instantly turned even uglier.
"Were you telling me how much your medicine was worth?" He Xiaoman let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Do you feel proud and accomplished now? Do you think everyone is a fool that you can fool around with? "
"Xiaoman, shut up. You're the one who misunderstood. Why are you blaming Yaoyao? You're becoming more and more unreasonable." Yang Qiuhua could no longer hold it in and said bitterly.
He Xiaoman was so angry that she laughed. "Heh, I'm unreasonable? Mom, who is your real family, huh? "
She paused before she glanced at Huo Yao and said sarcastically, "Fine. I'm just an eyesore to you and your granddaughter. You should focus on nurturing your so-called kinship."
After that, He Xiaoman flicked her sleeves and walked out of the ward.
Yang Qiuhua gazed at the door for some time before she veered her eyes bitterly. She turned to hold Huo Yao's hand and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to come today."
Huo Yao squeezed the old lady's hand and said, "I didn't take it to heart. Don't blame yourself."
Hearing this, Yang Qiuhua felt even worse. This kid was too kind. Every time Xiao Man misunderstood and blamed him, he would never defend himself because he cared about Xiao Man's feelings. No matter how wronged he was, he was always calm.
