chapter 13 Move out immediately

Olivia Xia always believed that after her mother fell ill, combined with Tyrone Xia's change of attitude and Mia Zhao's interference, her mother had turned into a resentful woman. At least, before she went abroad, her mother was truly in a state of collapse.

Now, how...

"What? In your eyes, should your mommy just be a puppet, endlessly collapsing because of that unfaithful man, a useless woman?" Seeing the shock in Olivia Xia's eyes, Sofia Yue sarcastically smiled. "Your expression, it's asking for a beating, you know?"

Olivia Xia excitedly hugged Sofia Yue and exclaimed, "Mommy, sob... it's so great, you're back to your old self."

Yes, Sofia Yue used to be a career-oriented woman, establishing her own company through her abilities and leading the company to success, transforming Tyrone Xia from being penniless to the current CEO. Who would have thought that six years ago, she suddenly fell ill, and after her collapse, Tyrone Xia not only brought Mia Zhao and Emma Xia, whom he kept outside, back home in less than half a year, but also subjected Sofia Yue to all kinds of ridicule and suppression. At that time, Sofia Yue almost went crazy. If it weren't for Olivia Xia, she might not have held on.

Before going abroad, Sofia Yue's condition had improved a lot, but Olivia Xia could see that she was forcing herself for her sake, and it was entirely different from her current lively self.

"Silly girl," Sofia Yue gently patted Olivia Xia's shoulder and sighed lightly. "My daughter is my only one. How can I watch you suffer for my sake, be bullied by others?"

Olivia Xia displayed a brilliant smile. "Mommy, you're the best."

"Tell me, where did you get those medicines?" Sofia Yue pinched Olivia Xia's cheek and asked with a smile. "I asked the doctors here, and they said these are special medicines not available in China, specifically designed for my illness."

Olivia Xia wanted to tell her mother that she had been studying medicine and drugs abroad for years, but she was afraid that revealing this would raise more questions.

She pursed her lips and said, "The medicine was developed by a fellow student with a dual degree brought by my school's mentor, and he happens to work at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute."

"Where did you get the money?" Sofia Yue frowned. "I don't believe Tyrone Xia would give you so much allowance."

Olivia Xia snuggled against Sofia Yue's arm and rubbed it. "Mommy, don't forget, I'm studying design abroad, specifically in professional fashion design. I also took elective courses in interior design and jewelry design. Do you think all these skills I've learned can't earn me money?"

Sofia Yue looked at Olivia Xia skeptically. "Can you earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions?"

"You underestimate your daughter too much," Olivia Xia raised the corners of her mouth. "Isn't that just a piece of cake?"

"To think you're the global chief designer of LM Fashion now. How much do you think this position is worth?" Sofia Yue's eyes widened. "Is it true?"

Olivia Xia nodded. "Of course!"

"You truly are my treasure. I knew it, my treasure is the best." Sofia Yue's eyes welled up with excitement.

Olivia Xia said, "Well, I did learn from the best, didn't I?"

"Ha-ha, shameless."

The mother and daughter sat in the hospital room and laughed for a long time. Sofia Yue's complexion improved significantly.

"Why did Steven Lu break up with you and end up with Emma Xia?" Suddenly, Sofia Yue remembered something and furrowed her brows as she asked.

"Isn't that a reason to be happy? Do I need to keep a man with no vision until the New Year?" Sofia Yue: ...

"They said you were fooling around with men abroad. What's that about?"

"Jealousy, I suppose," Olivia Xia shrugged. "Emma Xia's face has twisted in jealousy."

Sofia Yue playfully scolded, "You, this girl, are awfully confident."

"Righteous people are not afraid of slander. Didn't you teach me that from an early age, Mom? Since they like to talk, let them talk. If someone believes it, let them believe it. I couldn't clarify it while I was abroad, but now that I'm back, I'll use my actions to prove them wrong."

Satisfied, Sofia Yue nodded. "Good, my precious should be this confident and spirited."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, until the doctor came in to examine Sofia Yue. Olivia Xia waited in the corridor. However, as soon as she came out of the room, her smile faded.

She had known that her mother was seriously ill, so she had been studying medicine intensively ever since she went abroad. Over the years, she had been providing her mother with special medicines to maintain her health. But just now, when she checked her mother's condition, she realized that her mother's health had deteriorated more than she had imagined. Her medications had no problems, and the hospital's regular treatment would not have worsened her mother's condition. So, what had gone wrong?

"Asa, please help me investigate this hospital, especially my mother's attending physician and the hospital leadership."

"Sure."

The response from the other end was concise. Olivia Xia put away her phone and saw a familiar figure walking towards the elevator. She furrowed her brow and was about to approach for a closer look when the person had already entered the elevator.

"Miss Xia, hello, I am your mother's attending physician, Dr. Zhang."

A stranger's voice came from behind, and Olivia Xia turned to see a stranger with glasses.

She had heard that her mother's attending physician had been poached overseas, and shortly after she went abroad, her mother changed attending physicians. This was the first time she had met Dr. Zhang.

"Hello, Dr. Zhang," Olivia Xia greeted politely.

"Could we discuss your mother's case in my office?"

Dr. Zhang pushed his glasses up, his tone somewhat distant.

Olivia Xia nodded and followed him to his office.

Dr. Zhang got straight to the point, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, but your mother's hospitalization fees and medical expenses have not been paid for a quarter. If you don't settle the payment soon, I'm afraid... we won't be able to continue her treatment."

Olivia Xia was taken aback. "Not paid for a quarter?"

"Yes, I've contacted Mr. Xia a few days ago, and he promised to make the payment in a few days, but it has been three months, and Mr. Xia recently hasn't been answering our hospital's calls..."

Olivia Xia clenched her fist. "I understand. I will go and pay the fees right away."

Afterward, she took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Zhang, before that, I would like to talk to you about my mother's condition."

Dr. Zhang sighed lightly. "Your mother's condition is currently relatively stable, but her illness, unless she undergoes surgery, is a significant drain on her body. Each day takes a toll, and without intervention, it won't be long before her body gives out."

"But this surgery is so risky that apart from the miracle doctor Zoey Xue, there is likely no one else in the world who would dare to perform it. The chances of success are extremely low."

Olivia Xia gazed deeply into Dr. Zhang's eyes for a long moment before nodding. "Thank you, Dr. Zhang. I understand."

As she exited the office, she intended to return to her mother's room for a more thorough examination. However, just as she reached the room, she heard a commotion inside.

"This room has been overdue for three months. Do you realize that? If you can't afford the VIP ward, don't pretend to be strong. Do you know how many people are in more urgent need of this room than you?"

"Immediately move out. If you have no money, don't hog the resources. My daughter urgently needs to be admitted."
