She then turned to look at Luo Huian who raised a brow at her. Seeing the unrepentant expression on her face, Luo Yeqing said to her mother, "I know how to teach my daughter. I don't need you to tell me, mother."
When Grandma Luo heard Luo Yeqing's words, she knew that somewhere Luo Yeqing was blaming her for raising Luo Huian like this. But what was she supposed to do? After letting off her position and getting a grandchild, Grandma Luo just wanted to pour all her love into Luo Huian and Luo Qingling.
But when she saw how Luo Qingling was being treated affectionately by Luo Yeqing, while Luo Huian was left behind… she could only give more attention to her youngest granddaughter.
'It's a great thing that the previous Luo Huian is dead and gone. If she was here, she would have died of high blood pressure,' Luo Huian thought bluntly.
"Are you listening to a thing I am saying?" Luo Yeqing asked Luo Huian sternly, feeling annoyed when she saw that Luo Huian was not even looking at her.
"I am, and I did hear what you said," Luo Huian replied coldly, as she studied her nails. Eww, what a cheap colour, she scrunched up her nose and then turned to look at the mer nurse. She smiled at him with an angelic expression and questioned, "Did the driver who crashed into me pay any sort of compensation?"
If she was not wrong, there should be some sort of compensation even in her immortal world, those who injured someone unjustly had to pay compensation. After all, even if this woman was useless good for nothing, she was still Luo Yeqing's daughter in name.
The mer nurse who was wishing to disappear from the ward after getting involved in a sudden family drama, felt his heart lurch into his throat when he heard Luo Huian mention him. He wanted to escape ——
However, when everyone in the ward turned to look at him, the mer nurse could not run away. He could only sob inwardly in his heart and scold Luo Huian for calling him out all of a sudden. But when he looked at that beautiful and angelic smile, he couldn't even summon his anger at Luo Huian.
"Yes. She did," the mer nurse thought about the payment that the driver made after crashing into Luo Huian and explained, "She was the one who brought you here and she was also the one who paid for your surgery. While the company for which she worked was the one who paid for your month's stay here."
Of course, they did it because Luo Huian was Luo Yeqing's daughter, even if all the tendons were to snap… in the end blood relations stayed.
"And how long I have been staying here?" Luo Huian questioned causing Luo Yeqing and the rest of the Luo family members to frown. Even the three mers who stood behind the Luo family were staring at her with confusion in their eyes but they did not say anything.
The mer nurse peeked at Luo Yeqing when he saw that she was not saying anything, he replied, "You have been unconscious for twenty-seven days, Miss Huian. You still have three days left——"
"I see, so does this mean that if I were to stay past those three days, I would have to pay the bill on my own?" Luo Huian questioned the mer nurse once more, who seemed a bit bewildered by her questions but he nodded nonetheless.
"That's right," he answered with a politely bemused expression.
"Oh," Luo Huian only muttered one syllable which caused everyone to look at her blankly.
That was it? She asked so many questions just for an 'Oh'?
Luo Yeqing trembled in rage, she thought that Luo Huian was treating her threat lightly. Maybe her daughter thought that she would not be able to ignore her since she was her blood and flesh but if that was the case then Luo Huian was in for a rude awakening.
Because Luo Yeqing was bent on teaching her a lesson this time around for causing all that trouble.
"Huian, you——"
SNAP.
The second Luo Yeqing opened her mouth, Luo Huian ripped off the needle that was connected to the back of her hand. Because she did not know how to handle that thing, Luo Huian ended up tearing her skin rather badly.
Blood dripped down from her wound as she looked down at the skin that was ripped because of her movement.
'Ah it stings,' Luo Huian thought with a twitch of her eyebrows. She then thought of the man who jumped from the thirteenth floor and suddenly a thought occurred to her ——
'Just how painful that fall would have been for that man?'
However, that thought vanished just as soon as it flashed in her head. She then slid down the bed and onto her unstable feet.
"Huian, why did you do that?" Ye Shun's heart ached when he saw blood dripping down his daughter's hand. He looked at the blood drops on the floor, and his resentment and sadness turned into rage.
Luo Huian looked at the change in his emotions and her eyes flashed. She simply smiled at him and said, "It doesn't hurt." She then turned to look at the mer nurse and requested, "Can you bring the documents that will discharge me from this hospital?"
She had already asked this mer how to get out of this hospital as she did not think that anyone from the Luo family would bother to show up. Though they did show up, nothing much changed.
Luo Yeqing's eyes turned a deadly red as she questioned Luo Huian angrily, "What do you think you are doing?" Was this another way of rebellion? Was this why Luo Huian was doing this?
However, when Luo Huian turned to look at her Luo Yeqing felt a shift in her eyes as she couldn't find any sign of admiration or recognition that her daughter once held for her.
"I am trying to escape getting into debt. What stupid thing to ask."
