Bao Ziqi gritted his teeth.
He felt she was going insane.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling the car brush against hers.
He bellowed, "Slow the car down and pull over to the curb."
But Su Qionglin was having an emotional breakdown.
Her car clung stubbornly to his.
Finally, Bao Ziqi’s car tires slipped, and with a loud bang, it crashed into a street lamp ahead.
The car was half-suspended, its wheels still spinning.
Su Qionglin stopped the car and ran over to open the door.
Bao Ziqi was sitting inside.
His head leaned back on the seat, and a crimson trickle of blood slowly flowed down his forehead...
Bao Jingyan received a call at four-thirty in the morning.
Su Ruanruan was in a daze as she heard him talk and then felt him getting out of bed to dress.
She sat up, "What happened?"
Bao Jingyan was fastening his belt, donning his overcoat.
He bent down to kiss her, "Ziqi had a car accident, I’m going to the hospital."
He tucked her in, "Get some more sleep, you can come tomorrow."
But she still got up to button up his coat for him.
"Drive slowly." Her hands stayed on the button, looking up at him.
Her look, her voice, all very gentle.
Very much like a wife.
Bao Jingyan could not help but kiss her again, "Go back to bed! I’ll text you when I get there."
"Tell me if anything happens to Ziqi," she said.
When Bao Jingyan arrived at the hospital, Bao Ziqi was already in the operating room.
His spleen was somewhat ruptured, and he had a concussion.
Zhou Zizhuo was performing the surgery himself.
In the middle of the night, the Bao Family members all rushed over.
Mrs. Bao covered her mouth, crying.
Bao Jingyuan was comforting her.
Even the elderly lady offered a few words of consolation.
Bao Jingyan asked Bao Mingyuan, "What happened?"
Bao Mingyuan suppressed his rage, "Ziqi was on his way home when Su Qionglin forcefully sideswiped his car, crashing it into a streetlight."
Bao Jingyan glanced at Su Qionglin.
Su Qionglin was squatting in a corner, muttering to herself, "I didn’t do it on purpose."
"If anything happens to Ziqi, I’ll fight you with my life," Mrs. Bao shouted at Su Qionglin fiercely.
At this moment, she wished she could flay Su Qionglin’s skin off.
Su Qionglin buried her head in her arms.
In the corridor, the sound of urgent footsteps arose.
It was Xia Minglan who had arrived.
Xia Minglan was very agitated.
She, just like Mrs. Bao, detested Su Qionglin to the extreme.
Su Qionglin retorted, "If Su Ruanruan had accepted Bao Ziqi back then, what would it have to do with you?"
Although the words were harsh, they were brutally honest.
In the hospital corridor, a deathly silence ensued.
Bao Mingyuan erupted in anger.
He said, "If you want to squabble, get out, all of you."
No one dared to speak any further.
A nurse brought over blankets to keep them warm.
For the parents there, how could they be in any mood!
Bao Mingyuan asked Bao Jingyan in a low voice, "Where’s Ruanruan?"
He subconsciously felt that as long as this child was there, his heart would be at peace.
Bao Jingyan said, "She’ll come in the morning!"
Bao Mingyuan thought it over and felt it really wasn’t appropriate for her to come under the circumstances.
Bao Jingyan sent Su Ruanruan a WeChat message.
The Bao Family continued to wait anxiously.
At seven in the early morning.
Zhou Zizhuo came out once.
He handed the surgical consent form to Bao Mingyuan to sign, casually mentioning as if an afterthought, "The spleen has been successfully repaired, but he still hasn’t woken up."
Suddenly, he patted Bao Jingyan on the shoulder, "He’s only called a few people’s names."
A jolt went through Bao Jingyan’s heart.
Bao Mingyuan also realized what this meant.
He cursed inwardly, "What a mess this all is!"
At ten in the morning.
The surgery was over, and Bao Ziqi was moved to the VIP ward.
The Bao Family members huddled around, eagerly looking on.
But Bao Ziqi showed no signs of waking up.
