"Mom, why hasn't that old woman Sofia Yue been kicked out yet?"
Downstairs at the hospital, Emma Xia and Mia Zhao had been waiting for half an hour, their brows furrowing with impatience.
Mia Zhao's eyes narrowed, "Don't worry, let's wait a bit longer. That foolish Mrs. Liu only knows how to pamper her delicate daughter. Once she learns about this, she'll definitely cause a scene. Maybe that annoying Olivia Xia is involved, causing a delay."
Emma Xia snorted, "That Olivia Xia, after coming back to the country this time, seems to have changed a lot, and it's really disgusting."
Mia Zhao patted her hand, "Don't worry, I can get her mother into the hospital. Why would we be afraid of a little brat like her?"
Emma Xia smirked, "Exactly, without the protection of Steven and her father, she's nothing. Let's just wait to see her crying and begging in front of us for her mother's medical expenses."
Mia Zhao lifted her chin slightly, wearing a smug smile.
They came to the hospital today not only to provoke Sofia Yue but also to visit Chole Liu and take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Tim Si's aunt.
Speaking of which, Emma Xia and Chole Liu happened to be classmates. One time, when Chole Liu mentioned that she was Tim Si's cousin, Emma Xia remembered it.
So, when they heard that Chole Liu was injured and staying in the same hospital as Sofia Yue, they brought gifts.
They also took the opportunity to provoke Sofia Yue and try to make Olivia Xia compromise.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Chole Liu's ward, they heard her complaining and demanding to be moved to a VIP room.
Considering that Sofia Yue hadn't paid for three months, they casually mentioned this to Mrs. Liu and Chole Liu.
With the fiery temper of Mrs. Liu and Chole Liu, they were sure to cause a scene.
As for them, they were waiting for Sofia Yue and Olivia Xia to be kicked out of the hospital. Then they would mock and threaten them, telling Olivia Xia that if she wanted to continue treating her mother, she should immediately divorce and marry Tim Si.
But it had been nearly an hour now...
"Mom, should we go up and see?" Emma Xia was growing impatient.
Mia Zhao, who was initially composed, also furrowed her brow and said, "Maybe we should."
Just as they turned around, two security guards in uniform approached them.
The tall, middle-aged security guard who led the group showed them his credentials. "Ladies, I'm Olaf Wang, the head of the hospital's security team. There has just been a serious disturbance at the hospital, and we suspect it may be related to the two of you. Please accompany us to the hospital's legal office. Thank you."
Emma Xia was frightened and hid behind Mia Zhao. "What... What did you say?"
Mia Zhao pretended to be calm and smiled, "Mr. Wang, have you made a mistake? We came to the hospital to visit a patient."
"Whether there's a mistake or not, you'll find out once you come with us. Please." The security team leader gestured for them to follow, but his attitude was firm and even carried a hint of threat.
Emma Xia was flustered. "Mom, this..."
Mia Zhao gave Emma Xia a glance, indicating that she should remain calm. Then she raised her hand gracefully. "A hospital is a sacred place for saving lives. It's everyone's duty to maintain order in the hospital. Although we don't know what happened just now, since we happen to be here, we have an obligation and responsibility to accompany the team leader. However..."
Mia Zhao squinted her eyes slightly, and her voice became sharper. "If this matter has nothing to do with us, we hope the hospital can give us an explanation."
Mia Zhao's assertive demeanor actually made the security team leader more polite. "Mrs. Xia, please rest assured."
On the other side, Mrs. Liu and Chole Liu were also called to the legal office.
Director Zhao had quickly investigated the cause and effect of the incident in less than half an hour, while the police were waiting in the legal office. After a confrontation, the truth became clear.
In the end, Mia Zhao and her daughter were educated by the police for leaking a patient's privacy.
Mrs. Liu and Chole Liu were supposed to be detained for causing a disturbance, but Director Zhao indicated that this matter could be forgiven. All they needed to do was apologize to Olivia Xia and Sofia Yue.
However, Chole Liu refused, "I lost my temper because I was provoked. If anyone should apologize, it's the person who provoked us. Why should we apologize?"
So, at the request of the police and Director Zhao, the four of them had to apologize to Olivia Xia and Sofia Yue.
Though they were unwilling, to avoid any legal consequences, the four of them, accompanied by Director Zhao, reluctantly arrived at the door of Sofia Yue's hospital room.
At this time, Xavier Si had already been sent away by Sofia Yue, using the excuse that Olivia Xia hadn't had lunch and must be hungry, to buy some food for her.
"Olivia Xia, you must honestly tell Mom, who is this man?"
Olivia Xia knew her mom had a weak heart and didn't dare to tell her directly that she had gotten married.
She could only comfort her by patting her back. "Mom, he's really just a suitor of mine, someone I quite like, but we haven't established a relationship yet."
"He doesn't look like an ordinary person," Sofia Yue frowned.
"He's not an ordinary person, indeed..." Olivia Xia smiled. "People who work at the First Hotel are all pretty accomplished."
"Is he the hotel manager or a staff member?"
"Just a regular staff member, but he's on the fast track to promotion."
"He's too good-looking, and he speaks so nicely. He doesn't seem like a good man. Darling, you're still too young. Don't be deceived by someone's words and charm like I was when I was young..."
Olivia Xia sighed lightly, "Mom, don't worry. I've been living alone abroad for years, and I'm no longer the naive little girl I used to be. I know about all the dangers and how to protect myself. If Xavier Si dares to deceive me, I won't let him get away with it."
Seeing that her daughter couldn't be persuaded, Sofia Yue gave a sigh. "As long as you know. I won't interfere too much, but if I find anything wrong with him, I won't let you jump into a pit."
Olivia Xia hugged Sofia Yue. "Mom is the best."
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Olivia Xia thought Xavier Si was returning, so she said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and four people entered one after the other, bowing solemnly to Olivia Xia and Sofia Yue. "We're sorry, Mrs. Yue, Miss Xia. We were wrong."
After saying that, the four of them, with dark faces, quickly left.
Upon witnessing this scene, Director Zhao furrowed his brow, shook his head, and approached Olivia Xia and Sofia Yue. "I apologize, Miss Xia, Mrs. Yue. Due to the negligence of our hospital, you have experienced many inconveniences. We will strengthen our management to prevent similar incidents in the future."
He glanced at Sofia Yue on the hospital bed. "In addition, we have already contacted the best foreign experts to come and examine Mrs. Yue. We will also do everything in our power to reach out to Dr. Zoey Xue, the renowned physician, in an effort to expedite Mrs. Yue’s recovery."
Director Zhao's sincerity was apparent, and Olivia Xia and Sofia Yue nodded. "Thank you for your efforts, Director Zhao."
