Chapter 107: A Car Accident
Gu Zijin had a bad feeling suddenly. So he ran over with Qin Xiaobai in his arms. Then he found Qin Muxuan lying on the road and an old car parking at the place not far away from her.
A man walked out from the car in panic. After that, he pointed to Qin Muxuan and tried to pass the buck, “You… Don’t you know how to walk? Why did you run toward my car? Do you want to blackmail me?”
Qin Muxuan was already dizzy after being hit by the car. Her calves hurt badly, which made her unable to come back to her sense. Then she covered her head instinctively and couldn’t utter a single word for a long while.
As the man was about to say something else, he saw Gu Zijin running over. Then he explained right away, “It’s none of my business. This woman has jumped over all of a sudden.”
“Mother!”
Qin Xiaobai went cold all over in fear. He jumped down from Gu Zijin’s arms and shouted, “Mother, are you all right?!” Saying this, he ran over to Qin Xuxuan and checked her condition nervously.
While Qin Muxuan was gradually losing her consciousness, she heard Qin Xiaobai’s voice and woke up.
As she turned around, she saw Qin Xiaobai looking at her anxiously. Then she couldn’t help but cry out, “Xiaobai!”
She held Xiaobai in her arms and said in a trembling voice, “Xiaobai, you finally come back. Don’t ever scare me like this again!”
Her words got Qin Xiaobai choked up. He couldn’t help crying, “I’m sorry, mom!”
As Qin Muxuan finally got relieved, she gradually felt the sharp pain on her calves. With her forehead breaking into a cold sweat, she muttered, “It hurts a lot…”
Gu Zijin squatted down to observe her condition while using his cold finger to press her calves. When he checked the sticky fluid that he had got on his finger by the car light, he found that it was blood.
The driver was utterly stupefied. He was a new driver who had just got his driver’s license. Because he thought that there wouldn’t be anyone at this moment, he had decided to practice driving here. It never occurred to him that things would end up like this. Right now, his face was even paler than Qin Muxuan’s.
At first, he had thought that Qin Muxuan was only trying to blackmail him. However, seeing the blood on the ground, he was now completely dumbstruck and didn’t dare to question Qin Muxuan’s intention anymore.
“Call the police.”
Gu Zijin uttered that coldly. Only then did the driver realize what was going on and call the police and the ambulance.
“The ambulance will be here very soon.” Gu Zijin held Qin Muxuan’s hand. The latter felt the warmness going all the way from her palm to her heart.
She nodded but still couldn’t utter a word due to the pain with her lips turning pale.
“Mother, it won’t hurt.” Qin Xiaobai wept and imitated the ‘magic’ that Qin Muxuan had taught him when he was younger by waving his hand and saying, “The pains all go away!”
Seeing that, Qin Muxuan forced a smile despite the great pain and said softly, “Xiaobai, your method works. It doesn’t hurt now.”
Mrs. Gu who had got the message ran over in a hurry. Seeing Qin Muxuan being like this, Mrs. Gu covered her mouth with her hands and asked in a trembling voice,
“Zijin, what happened?”
Gu Zijin explained the whole thing in brief and then continued, “Mother, I’ll accompany Muxuan in the hospital, you should take Xiaobai home.”
“Fine.”
Mrs. Gu said that while staring at Qin Muxuan with a worried look in her eyes.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The driver was sent to the police car. In the meantime, Gu Zijin lifted Qin Muxuan to the stretcher and then followed the doctors to get into the ambulance. Qin Xiaobai also wanted to get in but was stopped by Gu Zijin.
“I want to go too!”
“No.” Gu Zijin pressed on the boy’s head and said seriously, “Stay at home. Tomorrow, grandma will bring you to the hospital.”
“But!”
Qin Xiaobai was anxious and tears welled up in his eyes.
Gu Zijin held Qin Xiaobai in his arms and comforted him in a calm and tender voice,
“Don’t worry, Dabai only fainted. If you go to the hospital now, she would worry about you. When her condition is stable tomorrow, you can come visit her, OK?”
His words convinced Qin Xiaobai. The boy nodded obediently and watched the ambulance going away. After that, he held Mrs. Gu’s hand and went back to the Gu’s house under the protection of the bodyguards.
“Xiaobai!”
Seeing Qin Xiaobai finally getting back, Elderly Lady Gu let out a sigh of relief. Then she hugged Qin Xiaobai at once and started to sob, “My dear great grandson, you really have freaked me out! Why did you run out in the middle of the night?”
Qin Xiaobai wanted to break away from Elderly Lady Gu’s arms, but he remembered his mother’s words and realized that he truly was part of the reason why the Gu’s family was in a mess right now. So, he only lowered his head and said, “Sorry, Great grandma.”
Qin Xiaobai acted obediently and apologized, which was rarely seen and made Elderly Lady Gu feel flattered.
Mrs. Gu then walked over to him and comforted him tenderly, “Xiaobai, good boy, let’s visit your mother in the hospital tomorrow.”
Elderly Lady Gu looked to the place behind Qin Xiaobai, finding that Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan not there. Then she asked confusedly, “Where are they?”
Mrs. Gu sighed and said, “Muxuan had a car accident. Zijin has accompanied her to the hospital. Luckily, only her calves were injured.”
Elderly Lady Gu felt that an injury on the calves wouldn’t endanger Qin Muxuan’s life. Then she began to babble, “She is an adult, why couldn’t she look out? How could she be hit by a car? Maybe she should get a pair of glasses.”
“Mother, stop.”
Mrs. Gu really didn’t know what to do with the old lady since she couldn’t stop Elderly Lady Gu. The old lady walked to Qin Xiaobai with her walking stick and said with a beaming smile, “Xiaobai, do you like Miss Yan? Your mother is not responsible to you at all. I think that Miss Yan could be a good mother, how does that sound?”
Qin Xiaobai wiped his tears with his sleeves and curled his lips without saying anything. Then he jumped into Mrs. Gu’s arms.
Mrs. Gu hugged the boy and sighed, “Mother, please don’t say that anymore. The boy is still not very stable right now.”
Seeing that Qin Xiaobai refused to talk, Elderly Lady Gu could only nod, “Fine, I won’t say anything then.”
‘There’s enough time. That can wait.’ Elderly Lady Gu thought.
