Huo Yao got home after school to see people sitting in her living room. She was especially surprised to see Lin Shuwen there.

She noticed that something was amiss with her mother’s expression.

​

Huo Yao put her bag down quizzically and nodded to everyone.

Mrs. Fang stood up excitedly the moment she finally got home and walked over to her.

“Yaoyao, did you treat my son, Fang Chen?”

Huo Yao was stunned to hear this.

Fang Chen? Was Mrs. Fang Fang Chen’s mother?

Huo Yao snapped out of her thoughts and went quiet for two seconds before nodding.

She did not foresee Mrs. Fang’s visit at all. No one talked about treatment over dinner last night either.

Huo Yao glanced at Lin Shuwen.

The moment Lin Shuwen detected Huo Yao looking at him, he sensed a chill running down his spine.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly asked her. “What is he suffering from? Is he really completely cured now?”

Since Mrs. Fang was Huo Yao’s mother’s friend, she patiently explained the genetic disease he was suffering from in layman terms.

The moment Mrs. Fang heard it was a genetic disease, she finally believed Huo Yao had genuinely treated Fang Chen for his illness.

“…so this means he can’t be treated at the root and needs ongoing treatment?”

Huo Yao acknowledged softly.

She could not treat Fang Chen based on the current standards of medicine.

Although Mrs. Fang was briefly disappointed, she thought about her dead husband who passed away within half a month after the illness presented itself. Even though her son came down with the same illness, it was under control and he could survive with long-term treatment. The outcome was incredibly positive in comparison.

Mrs. Fang wiped tears from the corner of her eye before she said to Huo Yao, “Thank you so much for saving my son.”

“You’re welcome.” Huo Yao pursed her lips.

After all, she had taken Fang Chen’s money.

Mrs. Fang asked a few more questions before she left the Huo residence with Lin Shuwen.

After they left, Song Ning broke her silence and looked at her daughter with a complicated expression on her face. “Are… are you really a doctor?”

Huo Yao pressed her forehead. The moment Mrs. Fang asked about Fang Chen’s condition, she had seen this moment coming.

She sighed gently before she nodded and made an excuse. “Grandma is sick, so I learned some Chinese medicine from an old Chinese practitioner when I was in the countryside.”

Song Ning was aware of Old Madam Yang’s ill health. It was precisely the reason why her daughter delayed her return by a year when they discovered that Huo Yao and Lu Xia had been swapped at birth.

Was she able to treat a rare genetic disease just by learning some Chinese medicine in the countryside?

It sounded unconvincing somehow.

Song Ning narrowed her eyes. For the first time in her life, she suspected Huo Yao of lying to her.

Song Ning said, “Did you cure my migraine as well?”

Huo Yao went quiet for a second before nodding.

Even more complicated emotions arose in Song Ning’s heart. She was genuinely tempted to grab her daughter and give her a beating.

Huo Yao was able to treat her migraine at the root with just a few pills. How could she have done it after learning some Chinese medicine from an old Chinese physician for a short period of time?

This little liar! How could she go on lying to her with a straight face?

Huo Yao detected the faint murderous aura radiating from her mother.

She narrowed her eyes as she contemplated and picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

Then she changed the subject with a straight face. “Oh yes. Why haven’t our company accountants visited recently? I previously misunderstood and thought that they were debt collectors.”

Song Ning went quiet.
