Before they could finish speaking, both of them choked up and couldn't continue.
Seeing Song Xunying shake her head, Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan hadn't even had time to be happy yet.
Because of her next sentence, my mood instantly plummeted back to rock bottom.
“Your dad is fine, he’s doing well now. It’s your uncle who was in a car accident and he’s still in the hospital. His condition… isn’t very good.”
"The situation was urgent today, and I didn't have time to cook at home, so I bought some food outside."
No wonder they hadn't come home yet; something terrible had happened.
Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan then realized what was going on and couldn't stay at home any longer. They almost rushed to the hospital without thinking.
Fortunately, they remembered that Song Xunying had returned not only to inform them, but also to bring food to her uncle.
The two of them quickly stopped, calmed themselves down, and comforted each other.
“My uncle made so many contributions to the project. Such a good person shouldn’t have had an accident. I believe he will be blessed with good fortune.”
"Yes, Uncle will definitely wake up. Let's not panic. The most important thing is to take good care of him and prevent any further accidents."
Cheng Xiangling sniffed and forced a smile.
"Mom, the food you specially bought outside smells so good. It would be a loss for Uncle if he couldn't eat it. I believe he will wake up and eat as soon as we arrive."
"Good children, Mingqian will be very gratified to hear what you say. I really hope he can get better soon."
As Song Xunying spoke, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
The two daughters, who were only pretending to be strong, couldn't help but tear up when they saw their mother like this.
After calming herself down, Song Xunying took Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan's hands and gave them some instructions.
"Banxia is also in the hospital. When you two go over later, try to talk to her as much as possible and help her calm down. Otherwise, given her condition, I'm really worried that she won't be able to hold on."
Upon learning that their aunt was also there, Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan's emotions calmed down a little.
Hearing my mother's words, I immediately had a bad feeling.
"What happened to my aunt? Could it be that she was in the car when my uncle had the accident?"
Song Xunying shook her head and gave a bitter smile.
"Banxia wasn't in a car accident, but she's been very ill lately. Not only is she having heart problems, but she's also experiencing serious mental health issues."
“We haven’t had much contact over the years, and we didn’t even know her condition was so bad. I really feel guilty about it.”
Unexpectedly, their aunt also fell ill. The two girls were heartbroken and decided to set off immediately to visit their family in the hospital.
Song Xunying had just sat on the stool for a short while to rest her feet when she heard what they said, so she quickly stood up as well.
"Alright, let's get going."
Without needing to discuss it, Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan together helped their mother sit back down on the stool.
"No need, Mom. We'll just bring you food from the hospital. You should rest at home for a while."
Song Xunying wasn't too happy about it, but the two sisters knew she would definitely be staying at the hospital tonight, so they insisted that she get some sleep at home first.
"Mom, don't worry. Dad is here at the hospital. Besides, we're both adults and can take good care of Uncle and Aunt."
"You should rest well at home first, and come to the hospital tonight to relieve us once you've had enough rest."
Song Xunying couldn't refuse any longer, so she reluctantly sat back down on the bench, took a nitroglycerin pill, and tried to calm her tense nerves.
The two girls went to the kitchen and poured her a cup of calming tea. Seeing that her condition had stabilized, they picked up the thermos and went out to head to the hospital.
Before the two of them could even leave the courtyard, they bumped right into Shen Zhihuan, who was returning from her exams.
"Xiangling, Wanwan."
Shen Zhihuan called out their names, intending to chat for a bit.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that both sisters had red eyes, and I immediately became worried.
"Why are your eyes so red? You look like you've just been crying. Did something happen at home?"
"If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan appreciated her kindness, but neither wanted their own affairs to affect Shen Zhihuan.
With such a great debt of gratitude for saving her life, her family already owes Chen Zhihuan enough. If they were to cause her any more trouble or worry, it would be a terrible sin.
The two sisters wiped their eyes and quickly gave Chen Zhihuan a smile.
"How could I possibly cry? Today is our moving day, we're overjoyed!"
"Your eyes are red because there's a lot of dust in the house. I accidentally made them inflamed while cleaning. I'll use some eye drops later."
Cheng Wan estimated that it was getting late, and then smiled calmly and said:
"You must have had a tough exam today, so you should go home and rest early. Xiangling and I have some things to take care of and need to go out. We'll meet up another day."
Seeing how hurried the two sisters were, Shen Zhihuan didn't say much and nodded with a smile in agreement.
"Okay, then you should go quickly."
After watching the two walk out of the alley, she walked home while making plans in her mind.
Tomorrow is the last day of the exam, so she should go home early to rest and recharge so she can be in the best possible condition to take it on.
After the exams are over and she has nothing to do, she'll take a gift to the Cheng family to see if Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan, the two sisters, have really encountered any trouble.

Hospital.
Almost half a day has passed, and there is still no news of Song Mingqian and his driver, who were taken into the operating room.
I don't know when we'll see them come out.
Cheng Yuanfang was extremely worried, but dared not disturb the medical staff who were performing the surgery, and waited anxiously outside.
He could only sit on the bench outside the emergency room, praying silently over and over again.
This family has already gone through too many ups and downs; it really can't withstand another blow like this.
The Cheng family has always done good deeds over the years, and Cheng Yuanfang only hopes that God will open his eyes and leave a way out for Song Mingqian and Lin Banxia.
When Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan arrived at the hospital, they saw Cheng Yuanfang's exceptionally haggard back.
In just half an afternoon, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
The two sisters felt so sorry for him that they rushed over to ask him to switch shifts.
"Dad, my sister and I brought you and Uncle's dinner. You've been here all afternoon, so you should eat something and get some rest."
"The two of us can keep watch over the operating room."
