Lu Xia's eyes subconsciously froze when she heard Huo Yao's name. She asked casually. "She knew Grandma was hospitalized. Why did she go to the apartment? Did she go to get something? "
He Xiaoman shook her head. "She didn't go to get anything. The nanny said that she only asked if your grandma was home and left when she heard that she wasn't."
When Lu Xia heard this, a puzzled look appeared on her face. "Then what is her intention?"
Lu Xia contemplated for a few seconds before she said, "Mom, I think something is amiss. Why don't we call Grandma and ask her about it?"
"You're right." He Xiaoman nodded. She searched for the old lady's number on her phone and dialed it.
He Xiaoman frowned and hung up the phone. "Her phone is off."
"Uh... off? Did something happen? "asked Lu Xia worriedly all of a sudden.
He Xiaoman's eyelids twitched. She stood up and said, "Let me ask the hospital."
As she spoke, she walked to the locker and took out a doctor's business card. Without any hesitation, she called the doctor.
"Hello... What? My mother has been discharged from the hospital? "He Xiaoman held the phone, her face full of shock.
Lu Xia walked up to He Xiaoman and saw that she had hung up the phone. She could not help asking. "Grandma was discharged? Didn't she tell you? "
He Xiaoman's head was still buzzing. "No. I was so mad at her last night that I didn't even go to the hospital today."
Hearing this, Lu Xia's expression became very serious. "How could Grandma be discharged from the hospital without saying a word? She's an old lady and doesn't know anything. She didn't even go back to the apartment. Where could she have gone? "
He Xiaoman pressed her swollen temples. A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and her face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're right. Your grandma doesn't know anything. Why would she leave the hospital if no one messed things up?"
She paused for two seconds. "Huo Yao must have taken your grandma away. There's no one else!" said He Xiaoman confidently.
Lu Xia lowered her eyes. She shook her head and said, "I don't think it was her. Didn't you say that the nanny was looking for Grandma too?"
He Xiaoman sneered, "Do you really believe in the trick of the thief calling out the thief?"
"But …" Lu Xia wanted to say something but was interrupted by He Xiaoman. "Alright, don't be silly. I don't want to hear my daughter defending an outsider."
The moment He Xiaoman finished speaking, she dug out Huo Yao's number angrily and called her.

After Huo Yao went downstairs, she did not leave the estate immediately. Instead, she sat on a public bench in the estate's garden.
The old lady's phone was still unreachable.
The nanny's reaction wasn't fake. Based on her understanding of He Xiaoman, it was unlikely that He Xiaoman would take the old lady away. The only thing she could be sure of was that the old lady left on her own.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. She held her phone and contemplated for a long time before she tapped on an app with an unknown icon. Just as she was about to log in, she received a call from an unknown number.
Huo Yao's hand paused for a moment before she answered the call.
"Hello … Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes. Thank you."
Huo Yao stood up after hanging up. Her phone rang again. She lowered her eyes to look at it before she hung up without any hesitation.
