Ye Qingqing quickly called a taxi. For the first time ever, the old lady didn't ask the price. Instead, she helped Ye Zhiguo help Shen Yanhong into the car. When the driver saw that she was about to die, he immediately told them to get out of the car.
"Get out, get out! This is so unlucky! If someone dies in my car, my car will be totaled! Get out now!"
Ye Zhiguo was just about to agree and was about to take Shen Yanhong out of the car when the old lady quickly pleaded, speaking in a humble voice, "Master, please help us. We'll pay more. Saving a life will bring you good fortune. Master, you'll definitely have abundant wealth and good health in the future..."
Ye Qingqing also spoke up for her, saying that Shen Yanhong couldn't take any more time; if she didn't go to the hospital by car, she would definitely die on the way.
Seeing that the old lady was quite old and Ye Qingqing was a pretty young girl, the driver softened his heart. "Never mind, never mind, who asked me to be soft-hearted? But you have to pay extra. The car is dirty, and I have to go to the temple to pray to Buddha to get rid of bad luck. At least a hundred yuan!"
"You might as well rob a hundred yuan!" Ye Zhiguo immediately snapped, his face darkening as he demanded to get off the bus.
The old lady felt as if her heart was being stabbed, but after weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a brand-new hundred-yuan bill from her pocket, which she had just confiscated from Ye Lan, and stuffed it into the driver's hand.
"One hundred yuan it is, driver, hurry up, or I'll really die in your car!" the old lady urged repeatedly.
The driver turned his head and glanced at the car. Startled, he quickly started the engine. It was nighttime and there weren't many cars on the road. He floored the gas pedal and sped towards the hospital like the wind. The ten-minute drive was completed in just five minutes.
"Go quickly, oh dear... my chair is all dirty, what bad luck! I'll go burn incense and pray to Buddha tomorrow!"
Upon seeing the bloodstains on the back seat, the driver's face darkened, and he sighed inwardly at his bad luck.
The old lady told Ye Zhiguo to quickly carry Shen Yanhong on his back and rushed towards the emergency room. Ye Qingqing ran very fast, reaching the emergency room first and shouting, "Doctor, help! She's outside, we need a stretcher..."
The doctors and nurses were very helpful. They quickly carried out a stretcher, placed Shen Yanhong on it, and immediately began resuscitation efforts.
The old lady and Ye Zhiguo sat in the corridor waiting. The old lady looked panicked and kept glancing inside, but the emergency room door was tightly closed and she couldn't see anything.
Ye Zhiguo, however, remained calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
Time ticked by, but Shen Yanhong still hadn't come out. Ye Qingqing checked her watch several times; she'd been inside for almost half an hour. Could it be that she hadn't been saved?
"Grandma, will she die?"
Ye Qingqing pointed towards the emergency room and asked cautiously.
"Pah, pah, pah! Children say the darndest things. Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva protect you..."
The old lady glared fiercely, clasped her hands together, bowed to the sky several times, and muttered incantations.
Nurses kept running out, always in a hurry, carrying blood bags, probably giving Shen Yanhong a blood transfusion. Ye Qingqing was on tenterhooks, hoping she wouldn't die. She hoped she could find out the cause of her mother's death before she died herself!
Nearly an hour later, which felt like an eternity, the door to the emergency room finally opened, and a doctor wearing a white mask came out. The old lady and Ye Qingqing rushed to greet him, looking at the doctor with eager eyes.
"The patient is out of danger for now, but needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. Go and complete the admission procedures!" the doctor instructed, secretly marveling at Shen Yanhong's incredible luck. She had lost so much blood, yet she was still clinging to life; anyone else would have died long ago!
The doctor's words immediately put the old lady and Ye Qingqing at ease.
