Chapter 971 - 788: Xingxing Falls Ill

"This matter isn’t urgent; let’s be cautious and go back for a while. We know the address and our child; they won’t disappear in a moment. Let’s head back now, pack our things, and head to the hospital as soon as we get home." Mr. Li Liang said, rushing back to pack.

Li Liang’s mother also thought what the boss said made sense. If they’re going back anyway, they might as well spend the New Year at home. It’s not too late to come back once the results are out.

The elderly couple packed up their things and took the earliest train directly back to S City.

...

As for Hua Hua, his head injury was no small matter, contrary to what Mr. Li Liang said. He hit a sharp stone, leaving a large wound and losing a lot of blood. Because his hair covered it, Mr. Li Liang didn’t see it clearly, and in his nervousness about the blood, he hurried away after a few comforting words.

In fact, the head wound was serious, and later he bled a lot. When he was sent home by the yard workers, Aunt Wu saw Hua Hua’s face covered in blood and was so scared her legs trembled. She quickly called the Mei Family members at the hospital.

The call was received by Mei Shuping and Xie Lingzhi because Mei Langchi and Ye Qing were already on their way back.

Once Mei Shuping and Xie Lingzhi heard that the child was in trouble, Xie Lingzhi immediately urged him to go back and take the child to the hospital.

Less than ten minutes after Aunt Wu’s call, Mei Langchi and Ye Qing came back. On the way, Ye Qing was thinking of many ways to distract her in-laws and Mei Langchi in the evening.

If it doesn’t work, she’ll have to use sleeping pills, but medicating is a crude way and easily detected.

One or two people won’t matter, but the whole family would be too conspicuous.

It’s also an undesirable method.

Ye Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, without a feasible plan.

If it doesn’t work out, she knew she could find a chance to notify the outside person to take action when the opportunity arose.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, they heard Hua Hua’s cries. Ye Qing’s thoughts immediately turned to Hua Hua.

When she saw Aunt Wu holding Hua Hua, whose face was full of blood, Ye Qing was nearly weak-kneed with fright.

She quickly ran to Aunt Wu, holding Hua Hua, "What happened? What is going on here?"

"Third Young Madam, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of the child and let him play outside alone. He accidentally fell and hit his head on a stone." Aunt Wu was now pale with fear; the young master got hurt under her watch, and she couldn’t explain it to the family.

"Never mind that now, just get in the car, we’re going to the hospital." Mei Langchi, seeing the blood on Hua Hua’s head, frowned and rushed outside to start the car.

Ye Qing regained her composure and quickly carried the child out.

Aunt Wu followed behind, saying, "I’ve already called the hospital, and the officers are on their way back."

"We can’t delay with the child. Aunt Wu, wait at home for my father. Tell him we’re taking the child to the hospital first." Ye Qing hastily instructed before getting into the car.

Aunt Wu wanted to go along, but Mei Shuping was still on his way back, so she had to stay at home.

While Ye Qing was worried about her son, she suddenly had an idea, thinking her son’s injury came at just the right time.

This time, no matter what, she was determined to keep her in-laws at home.

The two of them rushed to the hospital and went straight to the emergency room.

Xie Lingzhi had already been waiting at the hospital entrance. Seeing them approach, she hurriedly followed them to the emergency room with the child.

Seeing her grandson’s face covered in blood, Xie Lingzhi was nearly shocked speechless.

"How could Aunt Wu watch over the child and let him get hurt like this? Hua Hua, Hua Hua, dear grandson, don’t cry. You’ll be fine soon, don’t cry." Xie Lingzhi followed Ye Qing, comforting the child.

Hua Hua’s wound was quite deep and large, so after the doctor cleaned it, a suture surgery was needed along with anesthesia.

The news about the Mei family’s grandson hitting his head reached the two other families in Old Mrs. Mei’s hospital ward.

Everyone sighed that the Mei Family was facing tough times this year. Families rushed to the hospital.

The elderly and young alike. This incident certainly kept the Mei family’s two sons on their toes.

Mei Shuping, not finding the child at home, hurried to the hospital. By the time he arrived, Hua Hua had already been taken into the operating room.

"How is it?" Mei Shuping, seeing the child undergoing surgery, sensed the seriousness of the injury and felt worried.

"He hit his head, the wound is very deep and quite large; he needs a suture surgery. He just went in." Xie Lingzhi anxiously said from the side.
