Since it was already evening, there were not many people in the hospital at this time.
The nurse went down the elevator and searched the lobby of the Inpatient Department. She did not find Huo Yao, so she hurried to the hospital entrance. She still could not find Huo Yao. She stood at the entrance for a long time before she walked back with her shoulders slumped.

Huo Yao had already boarded a taxi and was heading to the old lady's apartment complex.
Her eyes flickered as she looked out of the window at the rapidly retreating street. Her expressionless face was no longer as indifferent as usual. Instead, it was filled with a coldness that did not belong to her age.
She took out her phone and dialed the old lady's number again. However, all she got was a cold notification that the old lady's phone was turned off.
She should have sensed something was wrong with the old lady yesterday.
Huo Yao's expression darkened as she pressed her forehead.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the complex. Huo Yao paid the driver and walked briskly into the complex. She went upstairs and rang the doorbell.
Before long, the door opened to reveal an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.
"Who are you looking for?" asked the middle-aged woman quizzically as she looked at Huo Yao.
She was the nanny hired by He Xiaoman to take care of the old lady. She had never seen Huo Yao before.
Huo Yao frowned. "The old lady isn't home?"
The nanny immediately reacted. "Are you looking for Old Madam Yang?"
"Yes. Is she home?" asked Huo Yao patiently.
The nanny looked at Huo Yao. Although she did not know who she was, she replied politely. "The old lady was hospitalized a while ago. But... who are you? Why are you looking for the old lady? "
Huo Yao did not answer her. Instead, she asked again. "Is she really not home?"
"Erm... Why would I lie to you? I told you that the old lady is hospitalized. Why don't you call her yourself?" The nanny looked puzzled.
Huo Yao's heart sank when she saw that the nanny was not trying to hide anything. She turned to leave without saying a word.
The nanny was stunned. She only composed herself after Huo Yao disappeared into the elevator. She closed the door and muttered to herself. "Who is she?"
The nanny was puzzled. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. She hurriedly went to the living room and picked up the landline to make a call.
At the Lu villa.
He Xiaoman had just picked up the nanny's call. "You said a young girl came to see my mom?"
"Yes, I asked her name, but she didn't tell me. She seemed to be in a hurry. I don't know if something happened to her." The nanny told the situation in detail.
He Xiaoman frowned and said, "Is the girl very tall and pretty? Does she look like a student?"
"Yes, madam."
He Xiaoman narrowed her eyes. "Alright, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, He Xiaoman crossed her arms in front of her chest and pondered.
She was certain that the housekeeper was referring to Huo Yao. But why would she suddenly go to the apartment and ask if the old lady was at home?
Didn't she know that the old lady was still hospitalized?
Lu Xia, who had just changed into her home clothes and went downstairs, noticed that her mother's expression was a little strange. She could not help but walk over and sit beside her. She asked gently, "Mom, what's wrong?"
