When she asked for help, passersby avoided her like the plague.
Seeing this scene,
Zhou Ling inevitably fell into despair. She was afraid that if she didn't go to the hospital and continued to bleed, she might bleed to death. She didn't want to die. She was still young, she wanted to watch her son grow up, and she wanted to spend her life with Zhao Kun.
"Please, please help me..."
Zhou Ling stretched out her hand, looking pitiful and helpless.
Passersby gradually gathered around, but no one dared to step forward; they simply stood aside and watched the spectacle.
A middle-aged man wanted to help, but his wife stopped him, warning him to be careful not to scam people.
Not long ago, a child helped an elderly woman who had fallen. However, the woman's family suddenly appeared and accused the child of knocking her down. Because there was no surveillance footage and no witnesses, the child's family was extorted for a large sum of money, which sparked a lot of discussion.
No one dares to do good deeds easily, for fear of being labeled a bad person instead.
This is why, seeing Zhou Ling's current state, no one dared to approach her, fearing they might be extorted.
More and more people gathered around, but not a single person was willing to lend a helping hand.
Zhou Ling became increasingly desperate.
She had no choice but to painstakingly pull out her phone and dial 120 herself.
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Upon seeing the ambulance, Zhou Ling pointed at the crowd and denounced them for their indifference and heartlessness in not helping someone in distress. She also cursed these people, saying that no one would help them in the future if they encountered danger.
Everyone felt incredibly unlucky.
It's true they didn't help, but they didn't break the law. What law says they have to help?
Many people were glad they had done a good deed; otherwise, given Zhou Ling's character, she might have really tried to extort money from them. She was clearly a heavily pregnant woman, and knowing she was about to give birth, she still went out on the street and then blamed others—how shameless!
Nobody owes you anything!
Helping you is a matter of morality; not helping you is a matter of course.
"Ma'am, what is your family member's phone number?"
"We need to contact your family now; we need them to sign."
On the way to the hospital, the nurses kept asking me questions.
"Brother Kun...he...he is my husband."
Zhou Ling grimaced in pain, her face covered in cold sweat.
"Madam, we can't reach your husband by phone. Are you able to contact any other family members or friends?"
"family?"
Zhou Ling thought of Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, who were far away in Fanjia County, but they were too far away to help her in her immediate predicament.
By the way,
Zhou Ling suddenly thought of Zhou Na. Today was the first day of the college entrance examination, and Zhou Na was also in Fengcheng.
no!
She couldn't disturb Zhou Na's exam. Although the sisters had a falling out before, Zhou Ling still hoped that Zhou Na could get good grades and go to a good university.
Of the three siblings, Zhou Na has the highest chance of succeeding. She can't ruin Zhou Na's plans, after all, they are blood-related sisters.
"Madam, could you please provide me with the contact information for another family member or friend?"
"This is very important."
Faced with the nurse's urging, Zhou Ling forced herself to stay alert, but immediately swallowed back the words "Second Sister" that were about to slip out.
“Zhou Chen, he…he is my…brother…”
"Call him..."
Yes, contact Zhou Chen and have him come to the hospital so he won't be able to take the college entrance exam.
"Nurse, please, no matter what, you have to call him here. If he doesn't come, call the police and have Uncle Hat bring him here by force."
Seemingly thinking that she could ruin Zhou Chen's future, Zhou Ling spoke these words very fluently, and even smiled.
The nurse in the car looked suspicious upon hearing this, but before she could think any further, she immediately opened Zhou Ling's phone and looked for Zhou Chen's number.
at the same time,
Upon arriving at the examination venue, Zhou Chen, who was waiting, felt a vibration, took out his phone, and saw an unknown number calling.
"Hello."
"Are you Mr. Zhou Chen?"
"What's up?"
"It's like this, your sister is about to give birth, and we're on our way to the hospital. Could you please..."
"Sorry, you dialed the wrong number. I am not Zhou Chen."
Snap!
Zhou Chen hung up the phone. Zhou Ling was about to give birth; what did it have to do with him? Why was he calling her? Go find her man.
Thinking that the nurse would keep calling,
Zhou Chen decisively turned off his phone and handed it directly to Wu Yingjie for management.
With the college entrance exam just around the corner, asking him to go to the hospital and take care of that ungrateful Zhou Ling is a joke. His purpose in returning to school to repeat his studies is to make up for the regrets of his previous life. In his previous life, he voluntarily dropped out of school for the sake of three ungrateful people. In this life, he is giving up the college entrance exam for them as well.
Stop dreaming. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't stop him from taking the college entrance exam.
Zhou Ling knew perfectly well that her relationship with him was extremely bad, yet she still sent the nurse to call him. What was she planning?
Zhou Chen snorted, having roughly guessed what was going on.
You ruined my future! How could you, Zhou Ling, even think of such a thing? What does it matter to me whether you live or die?
"Brother Chen, we're allowed into the exam room now, let's go in quickly."
Li Kaile suddenly squeezed through the crowd and saw that a large number of candidates were already entering the school.
Zhou Chen snapped out of his thoughts, nodded, and then exchanged a glance with Wu Yingjie.
"come on."
Wu Yingjie smiled and offered encouragement.
On the other end,
"Madam, the phone number you gave me is incorrect. The person on the other end is not Zhou Chen."
"Impossible, it is him, I can't be mistaken."
"But if they really say he isn't, do you have any other relatives?"
“If you hit him again, he’s Zhou Chen. He did it on purpose. He didn’t want to come. Nurse, I need to call the police. Please call the police for me and have Uncle Hat arrest him.”
Goodness!
When the nurse heard Zhou Ling grit her teeth and say she was going to call the police to arrest her own brother, she was truly astonished. Was this really her sister?
"Madam, you want us to call the police to arrest him? We can't do that, and we don't have the right to."
"Give me the phone, I'll call myself."
Zhou Ling reached out, took the phone, and personally called Uncle Hat.
"I'm calling the police. I'm giving birth, and my brother isn't taking care of me. Please arrest him, okay?"
As soon as the call connected, Zhou Ling made the request.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, this is a family matter and not under our jurisdiction. You can contact the community for mediation of your family relationship."
"Then I will report him for breaking the law and committing a crime."
"Madam, if you made a malicious report, you will be punished by law and will go to jail."
"Then...then how exactly can you help me bring him here? I don't care, you have to do it. I'm a taxpayer, I pay a lot of taxes every year to support you, you can't just sit idly by."
Zhou Ling started acting like a rogue on the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Ling continued to explain patiently, but she became increasingly outrageous. The nurses in the car were dumbfounded; they had never seen such a 'righteous' person before.
"I'm not crazy, you're the crazy one, your whole family are crazy."
Zhou Ling suddenly exploded, yelling into the phone, "I'm telling you, I'm giving birth right now. If anything happens to my baby, you'll be responsible! How dare you hang up on me! I'm going to sue you..."
