Huo Yao hung up the phone with a solemn look on her face after a short conversation.
Song Ning turned to glance at her daughter while she was driving. "Who called you so late at night? Is it urgent? "
Huo Yao placed her phone back in her pocket and replied absentmindedly. "Uh huh. Just a friend."
Song Ning noticed that her daughter was clearly distracted, so she did not probe further. Before long, they arrived at the villa.
Zhuo Yun had been waiting outside the villa the moment Huo Yao got out of the car. He looked worried. "Miss Huo."
Huo Yao nodded at him unhurriedly. She turned to look at her mother, who had yet to drive to the garage, and said, "Mom, I'm going next door."
Zhuo Yun was not afraid of being recognized, so he greeted Song Ning politely.
Song Ning was stunned. She looked at her daughter and asked her. "Do you want me to go with you?"
Huo Yao shook her head. "It's fine. I'll be back soon."
Song Ning glanced at Zhuo Yun. She knew that he was the one who wanted to buy their villa. She went quiet before she said softly, "Call me if you need anything."
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yao.
Before long, Huo Yao and Zhuo Yun went to the villa next door.
Song Ning averted her eyes and picked up her phone from the box beside her. The moment she tapped on the screen to check the time, she noticed a missed call from her foster daughter.
She had called more than an hour ago.
Song Ning frowned. Her fingers paused on the screen for two seconds before she called her foster daughter back.

Meanwhile.
In Min Yu's bedroom.
Old Mr. Pei, who was standing by Min Yu's bedside, looked at Huo Yao with hope. "Huo Yao, you're finally here."
Yang Yi's eyes landed squarely on Huo Yao.
Huo Yao nodded and walked over to the bedside.
Min Yu's face was ghastly pale and his forehead was drenched in sweat. He looked as though he was in great pain. His eyes landed on Huo Yao with a deep gaze. Even though he was in great discomfort, he did not seem to be in a sorry state.
"Sorry for calling you so late," said Min Yu softly in a hoarse voice.
Huo Yao frowned slightly. She did not say a word. Instead, she reached out to feel his pulse.
Two minutes later, she withdrew her hand.
Zhuo Yun hurriedly asked. "Miss Huo, what's wrong with Yu?"
Old Mr. Pei looked at her. "I just checked Young Master Min's pulse. Is it neuralgia?"
Old Pei didn't get his title as a National Healer for nothing. Aside from not being an alchemist, he had high attainments in his medical skills.
Huo Yao nodded. "That's right. It is indeed pervasive neuralgia."
Neuralgia was completely different from the pain in other parts of the body. The nerves were all over the body, and the pain was like being pricked by needles. It was worse than death.
Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu again. She was impressed by him for being able to remain so calm under such circumstances. It was impossible for her not to be surprised by his extraordinary endurance.
"Where did this neuralgia come from? Brother Yu has never done it before, "Zhuo Yun said solemnly.
He had just recovered from his old illness, and now he was suffering from neuralgia. Just from the sound of it, he could tell that the illness was a little serious. If these two things were added together … wouldn't it be killing him?
