"How is it? Where is Zhicheng?"
Xia Enruo's heart was in her throat.
Upon hearing that it was news about a child, everyone rushed over and surrounded them.
"Zhicheng is at Yongning Central Hospital right now. His condition is urgent. You need to come here immediately."
"Okay! Let's go right now!"
After Xia Enruo hung up the phone, Ge Qiuqin asked anxiously:
"Xia, have you heard anything from the boss and the others?"
"Yes, Sister Meixia said that Zhicheng told us to go to Yongning Central Hospital. Let's hurry up and head there."
The group drove to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the Central Hospital, Wu Meixia was already waiting at the hospital entrance.
"Sister Meixia, how is the baby?"
"Early this morning, someone reported to the police that a boy of about ten years old was found covered in injuries at a garbage recycling station in the east of the city."
When we went over to take a look, we found that it was the eldest brother, Zhang Zhicheng. His legs were bleeding, his clothes were all torn, and he was unconscious.
He is currently undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital's resuscitation room.
I thought I would find Zhang Yanni in the same place, but the detectives searched for a long time and found Lao Si nearby.
They're still searching outside. Let's check on the older child at the hospital first; maybe he'll know where his sister is once he wakes up.
A group of people followed Wu Meixia to the outside of the emergency room.
Looking at the bright lights above the doorway, Xia Enruo once again felt what it meant to be separated by life and death.
Last time it was Gu Shaoxuan, and this time it's actually Qiuqin's eldest son.
The bench outside the door was packed with people.
Ge Qiuqin's eyes were filled with tears, and her whole body began to tremble. She was terrified that something unexpected might happen.
Zhao Mingyan held her, speechless, her face extremely pale.
Xia Enruo led Wu Meixia aside and asked:
"Sister Meixia, what's the situation with Zhicheng?"
Wu Meixia shook her head and sighed.
"It all depends on his fate. When we got there, he was barely alive and completely unresponsive."
One leg was severely fractured, and the other leg was also in critical condition. There were tire marks on his body, indicating he had been run over by a car.
Xia Enruo's eyes widened; she could hardly imagine the scene of such a small child being run over by a car.
"This...this is too cruel."
"Who says otherwise? I really don't know which bastard did such a heinous thing."
"What about the fourth brother?"
Xia Enruo dared not voice her prediction.
"We don't know yet, but anything is possible until we find it, and we can't assume the worst."
Xia Enru nodded.
"I hope no one dies."
The nurse pushed open the door to the emergency room.
"Which one of you is Zhang Zhicheng's parent?"
Ge Qiuqin suddenly stood up.
"I am...I am...I am her mother."
"The child's condition is not optimistic. This is a critical condition notice. Please sign it."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Nurse, you mean my son? He... he's dying, isn't he?"
Ge Qiuqin was on the verge of collapse; she could barely stand. Fortunately, Zhao Mingyan was there to support her.
"The situation is very critical, and we need to inform the patient's family."
Ge Qiuqin's hands trembled so much that she couldn't even hold a pen, and the name she wrote looked like a dog's crawl, crooked and messy.
However, the hospital was understanding of her feelings and did not make any excessive demands.
Half a day later, Zhang Zhicheng was wheeled out of the emergency room and sent to the intensive care unit. His family members were not allowed to enter and could only wait outside the ward.
"Although the child has undergone surgery, his vital signs are weak. We need to observe him for three days to see how he is doing. If he pulls through, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, we've done our best."
The doctor followed and said.
"Doctor, what exactly did my child suffer?"
Xia Enruo then asked a question.
"He suffered a comminuted fracture of his right leg, a fracture of his left leg, a fracture of his chest cavity, extensive abrasions on his back, and varying degrees of soft tissue contusions all over his body."
It looks like it was run over and dragged by a car.
Ge Qiuqin completely broke down and fainted after hearing the doctor's words.
Xia Enruo brought dinner over at around 6 p.m.
She entered the ward, where Ge Qiuqin had already woken up.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?"
She put down her lunchbox and asked.
"Sister-in-law Qiuqin, I just drank some water and I feel much better."
Zhao Mingyan had been taking care of Ge Qiuqin all along, and she knew the situation best.
"Xia, do you think the fourth brother might have already been murdered?"
Ge Qiuqin grasped Xia Enruo's hand, her eyes vacant and lifeless.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. It's a good thing that the police haven't found her yet, which means Yanni wasn't killed. We'll find out what happened when Zhicheng wakes up and we can ask him."
Xia Enruo had Zhao Mingyan feed Ge Qiuqin a couple of bites of food.
After finishing her meal, Ge Qiuqin insisted on going to see Zhang Zhicheng.
Xia Enruo could only accompany her.
Because it was an intensive care unit, only one family member could go in to visit. After changing her clothes, Ge Qiuqin followed the nurse into the ward.
Xia Enruo and Zhao Mingyan were waiting for her outside.
Ge Qiuqin walked to the child's bedside and saw the tubes inserted into his mouth and nose. Tears streamed down her face.
The nurses watching were deeply moved.
"Judging from the current situation, the child's will to survive is particularly weak. Otherwise, you could talk to the child or sing a few of his favorite songs, which might help."
The nurse patted Ge Qiuqin on the shoulder and reminded her.
Following the nurse's instructions, Ge Qiuqin sang a nursery rhyme that she used to lull him to sleep when he was a child.
For several days in a row, Ge Qiuqin would go to Zhang Zhicheng's ward every day to talk to him and sing him nursery rhymes.
There has been no news about the fourth sister, Zhang Yanni.
Three days later, Zhang Zhicheng's monitoring data stabilized, and he was moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
Ge Qiuqin simply stayed at the hospital every day to be with her son.
To put her mind at ease, Xia Enruo covered all of Zhang Zhicheng's medical expenses and instructed the hospital to use the best medications.
About a week has passed.
That morning, Xia Enruo was talking to Ge Qiuqin in the ward when Zhao Mingyan, who was sitting by the bedside, suddenly exclaimed.
"Sister-in-law, Boss Xia, look! Zhicheng's hand is moving."
Upon hearing Zhao Mingyan's words, the two quickly huddled together.
“Sister-in-law, that’s right. Mingyan is right, the eldest brother’s finger moved. It really moved.”
Ge Qiuqin quickly grasped her eldest son's hand and said:
"Zhicheng, it's Mommy, it's Mommy. Open your eyes and look at Mommy, okay?"
Ge Qiuqin called out to him again and again.
Finally, Zhang Zhicheng's eyelids began to twitch, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, but he was extremely weak.
Upon seeing Ge Qiuqin and the others, two lines of tears welled up in Zhang Zhicheng's eyes.
"Mom, I'm still alive, right!"
