Chen Li thought Yu Wei hadn't heard clearly and repeated, "We were shopping with your mother, and she was hit by a car. She's on the way to the hospital now. Hurry over, Fudan University Affiliated Hospital." Chen Li's voice was choked with tears and anxiety.
Yu Wei's expression changed, and he shouted at his father, "Dad, Mom was in a car accident and is being taken to Fudan University Affiliated Hospital. We need to go quickly."
Today, Yu Zhaoyi and Yu Wei were entertaining Xia Lin here. Yu Wei's mother, having nothing else to do, had invited Chen Li and her mother to go shopping with her. Yu Wei and Chen Li were already at the stage of discussing marriage, but they hadn't yet moved beyond introductions. After all, they met through their parents, and their families had a good relationship, so there was no need to rush things. Liu Qin felt it was perfectly normal to invite her future daughter-in-law and her family to go shopping.
They had already reached the pedestrian street when Liu Qin suddenly remembered she had left her phone in the car. As she turned back to retrieve it, she was hit and thrown onto the sidewalk. Whether she was alive or dead at this point was unknown.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaoyi's expression changed. He and his wife had been married for decades, and their feelings for each other were deep. No matter how wealthy Yu Zhaoyi was now, he had never kept a mistress. He only hired male secretaries, fearing his wife's jealousy. He would occasionally go to clubs with clients, but even then, he just went through the motions, never truly indulging. In short, Yu Zhaoyi was an absolutely devoted husband. Hearing that his wife had been in a car accident, Yu Zhaoyi was stunned.
"Let's go," Yu Zhaoyi said, rushing out in a panic.
"Lin'er, you guys have fun," Yu Wei also called out, chasing after his father.
The others exchanged glances. What was there to have fun about now? If they could still enjoy themselves, they would have no conscience.
"Let's go take a look. We were just saying we'd give Yu Wei a big gift. If his mother is seriously injured, I'll give Yu Wei a pill," Xia Lin said, looking at Yu Wei, who had run off.
"Let's go, we need to hurry too. Did they say Fudan University Affiliated Hospital?" National Little Wang also looked anxious.
"Yes, it's that hospital," Liu Jingru confirmed. She had heard them clearly; Yu Wei and his father had mentioned that exact hospital.
The group left the clubhouse, and Qin Dou, walking behind, pulled the door shut and quickly drove after Yu Wei. Yu Wei, worried about his mother, had already disappeared from view.
Fudan University Affiliated Hospital.
By the time Liu Qin was rushed here, she was in critical condition. She was now in the ICU undergoing emergency treatment. Watching the red light of the ICU, Chen Li's eyes were red, and her mother, Wang Xiaoli, sat beside her, silent.
Chen Zhiyuan arrived first. Seeing his wife and daughter were safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and then urgently asked, "How is Sister-in-law?"
"I don't know. She just went into surgery. She might be in danger," Wang Xiaoli said, her face pale with worry. When she was brought in, the doctor had urged the driver to speed up because Liu Qin's pupils were dilated, and she was slowly losing her life signs.
Chen Zhiyuan's face also changed upon hearing this. This was not good news.
"Dad, what should we do? Yu Wei is going to hate me. I was the one who asked his mother to go shopping," Chen Li said, her face filled with anxiety. She hadn't expected that the "fatty" Yu Wei would actually capture Chen Li's heart, and she was already worried about whether Yu Wei would resent her.
"Don't worry, who could have predicted this?" Chen Zhiyuan comforted her, silently praying that everything would be alright.
"Okay," Chen Li nodded and sat silently, not speaking.
"What about the person who caused the accident? Have they been apprehended?" Chen Zhiyuan asked.
"The police took them away. They told us to rush Sister-in-law to the hospital for treatment, and they'll come to take statements later," Wang Xiaoli explained.
Chen Zhiyuan nodded and remained silent. The family waited in anxious silence.
A moment later, Yu Zhaoyi and Yu Wei arrived. Yu Wei urgently asked, "How is my mom?"
"Don't worry, your mother is in surgery. She'll be fine," Chen Zhiyuan said proactively to comfort him.
Yu Zhaoyi sat by the wall, not saying a word, his heart clutched tightly. His eyes were fixed on the red light of the ICU emergency room, as if awaiting a verdict. His heart pounded with an inexplicable fear that outsiders could not comprehend.
Xia Lin had already called Old Wang on the way, asking him to retrieve a pill from her room's cabinet. Old Wang, feeling a bit awkward entering Xia Lin's room, brought his own pill. Originally, they were taking Pu Buqi and Lao Tianhou out for a grand meal. The dishes had just been ordered, but before anyone could touch them, the group arrived at the hospital. Lao Tianhou and Pu Buqi, resisting the urge to drool, didn't even glance at the food and followed everyone out.
Xia Lin and the others were just a step behind Yu Wei. Chen Zhiyuan looked at the arriving group, somewhat bewildered. At the same time, he noticed the stunning beauty walking at the front, the "awesome with a lightning bolt" girl, Xia Lin, who was so beautiful that even the moon dared not show itself.
"Uncle Yu, don't worry. I've asked President Wang to send a miracle medicine over, and Auntie will be fine," Xia Lin said, first comforting Yu Zhaoyi upon her arrival.
Yu Zhaoyi had indeed heard about the miracle medicine. Old Wang and the others had been hyping it up, and everyone in their circle knew about it, but they had never had the opportunity to obtain it. Now that Xia Lin said she had asked Old Wang to send it, his face finally showed a relaxed smile. He looked at Xia Lin and said gratefully, "Lin'er, thank you." Yu Zhaoyi simply said "thank you," but his eyes conveyed immense gratitude. Any more flowery words of thanks at this moment would have seemed hollow and powerless.
"You're welcome, Uncle Yu," Xia Lin gestured for Yu Zhaoyi not to be so formal. Xia Lin could discern how Yu Zhaoyi and his son treated her.
Yu Wei looked at Xia Lin without speaking, tears welling up in his eyes, not knowing what to say. Only Chen Zhiyuan's family didn't understand. What miracle medicine? But they could see the relaxed expression on Yu Zhaoyi's face.
Before the miracle medicine arrived, the red light of the ICU suddenly turned green. Everyone stood up, anxiously watching the door of the ICU room. The electronic door slowly slid open from both sides, revealing several doctors in white coats, masks, and caps. Yu Zhaoyi and his son dared not ask anything, waiting for the doctors' verdict. While the miracle medicine was indeed powerful, no one knew if it could revive someone who had already died. They said resurrection from a death-like state, but that was only for those who were truly on the verge of death, still clinging to a breath. If someone was already in a box, with all bodily functions ceased, how could they be resurrected?
The leading doctor clasped his hands in front of him and bowed to those outside the door, saying, "I'm sorry, she had no vital signs when she was brought in."
