109: I Didn't Want To Say It, But There's A Problem With The Meds

I Didn't Want To Say It, But There's A Problem With The Meds

Despite the disappointment, the attending physician and hospital president were keenly aware of how valuable the medicine was. 1

Apart from the formula, production time, as well as balance among herbs, all of these required a lot of accuracy. Also, since it was Chinese medicine, it was harder to make it than Western medication, which could be mass produced in factories.

Medicines like this, which demanded special techniques to produce them, were low in volume, and hence, priceless.

Since the attending physician and hospital president knew they would not be able to squeeze any more information out of Huo Yao, they got up to leave from there.

The room door opened at that time and He Xiaoman's expression instantly altered when she spotted the attending physician and hospital president in her mother's room.

Without bothering about Huo Yao's presence, she anxiously looked at them. "Is there something wrong with my mother again?"

The attending physician and hospital president were surprised momentarily. Then the hospital president gathered his thoughts and replied. "No, not at all."

He Xiaoman was instantly relieved to hear that. A small smile emerged on her well made-up face as she said, "I thought something awful happened to Mom, which demanded the hospital president's attention."

The hospital president straightened out the name tag hanging on his coat. He smiled and said, "We merely came to ask Old Madam Yang about the medicine which she takes. That's all."

He Xiaoman was struck by surprise and asked them. "The medicine which she takes? What medicine?"

But the moment He Xiaoman uttered those words, something came to her mind, and her eyes landed on Huo Yao. The courteous look on her face dissipated and she asked Huo Yao in a severe manner. "Did you give my mother that rural cure again?"

Huo Yao glanced at her calmly with no intention of talking to her.

Seeing such behaviour, He Xiaoman rubbed her brows angrily and said, "Huo Yao, didn't I tell you not to give Mom that medicine again? My mother raised you for 17 years, painstakingly. How can you endanger her life like this?"

"Xiaoman, that's nonsense. It's not what you think. Even the doctors said Yaoyao's meds are great!"

Yang Qiuhua genuinely felt that her daughter was muddle-headed. Whenever the matter was related to Huo Yao, He Xiaoman held severe preconceptions. She had turned into a mercenary ever since she married into a rich and powerful family.

He Xiaoman sneered and said, "I didn't want to tell you that there were problems with her meds, but you continue to make excuses for her so stubbornly…"

The hospital president looked at He Xiaoman inexplicably as he interrupted. "No, Madam He. Are you mistaken?"

He Xiaoman was really furious by now. Despite her annoyance, she dare not take it out on the hospital president. She composed herself for a moment before finding her voice after some time to say, "What do you mean by that?"

"There is nothing wrong with Miss Huo's medicine. If it weren't for this medicine, your mother wouldn't be in a regular ward, but the intensive care unit," replied the hospital president sternly in an impatient tone.

Since the hospital president was a worldly-wise man, he could tell from the way He Xiaoman spoke to Huo Yao that they were not close.

Although he was not interested in getting involved with their family matters, he simply could not stand the sight of He Xiaoman accusing Huo Yao for no reason.
