Chapter 118 Didn't Go Home
Because it was evening, there weren't many people in the hospital at this time.
The nurse got off the elevator and looked around the inpatient lobby, but didn't find anyone. She then hurried to the hospital gate, but still didn't find Huo Yao. She stood at the door for a long time before she walked back with her shoulders drooped.

At this time, Huo Yao had already got on a taxi and headed for the apartment complex where the old lady lived.
She looked at the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window, her eyes flickering, and her expressionless face no longer had her usual indifference, but a coldness that did not belong to her age.
She took out her cell phone and called the old lady again, but the response she got was still the cold "the phone is turned off".
She should have noticed something strange about the old lady yesterday.
Pressing his brows, Huo Yao's expression became even darker.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the gate of the community. Huo Yao paid the fare and walked quickly into the community. After going upstairs, she rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened and a strange woman's face appeared.
"Who are you looking for?" the middle-aged woman looked at Huo Yao and asked puzzledly.
She was the nanny hired by He Xiaoman to take care of the old lady, and had never met Huo Yao before.
Huo Yao frowned, "The old lady is not at home?"
The nanny heard this and immediately reacted, "Are you looking for Madam Yang?"
"Yes, is she at home?" Huo Yao asked patiently.
The nanny observed Huo Yao again. Although she didn't know who she was, she still politely replied, "The old lady was sick and hospitalized some time ago, but... who are you? What do you want to see the old lady for?"
Huo Yao did not answer her, but asked again and again: "Is she really not at home?"
"Uh...why would I lie to you? I told you that the old lady was sick and in the hospital, otherwise you could have called her yourself." The nanny looked puzzled.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be hiding something, Huo Yao felt a little depressed. He turned around and left without saying anything else.
The nanny was stunned when she saw this. Only when she saw Huo Yao disappear in the elevator did she come to her senses. As she closed the door, she muttered to herself, "Who is this?"
The nanny was puzzled for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She hurried to the living room, picked up the landline phone, and made a call.
At the Lu family villa.
He Xiaoman just answered the nanny's phone call, "You said there's a young girl coming to see my mom?"
"Yes, she refused to tell me her name when I asked her. She looked a little anxious. I wonder if something happened." The nanny recounted the whole story.
He Xiaoman frowned when she heard that, and then asked, "Isn't that girl very tall and pretty? She looks like a student?"
"Yes ma'am."
He Xiaoman narrowed her eyes slightly, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, He Xiaoman crossed her arms over her chest, looking thoughtful.
She was sure that the person the nanny had just called to describe must be Huo Yao, but the question was, why would she suddenly go to the apartment and ask whether the old lady was at home?
Didn't she clearly know that the old lady was still in hospital?
Lu Xia, who had just returned home and changed into home clothes and went downstairs, saw that her mother had a strange expression on her face. She walked over and sat down beside her, asking in a gentle voice, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
He Xiaoman came back to her senses and said without hiding anything: "The nanny who takes care of your grandmother just called and said that Huo Yao went to the apartment where your grandmother lives."
