“All…” Gu Qingxin let out a soft gasp, the wounds on her wrist were much worse than the ones on her face.
Lin Yin’s face changed drastically. She immediately rolled up her daughter’s sleeves, revealing the ghastly wound on Gu Qingxin’s wrist.
Bai Jingqing had left her wrist wounds unbandaged, two vivid red gashes, like venomous serpents coiled around her pale wrist, strikingly harrowing to behold.
“This…” Lin Yin was thunderstruck. She reached to undress her daughter, revealing multiple kiss marks on her daughter’s neck.
Lin Yin, having been through much herself, immediately understood the gravity of what had transpired.
She had suspected the Gu Family harbored ill-intentions, but she never expected them to harm her daughter this quickly…
Imagining the violation her daughter might have suffered, Lin Yin felt a sudden darkness close in around her, her body swaying precariously…
Gu Qingxin was startled by her mother’s countenance, she rushed to support her, “Mother, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”
Lin Yin’s face turned deathly pale while Gu Qingxin helplessly watched her mother collapse before her…
“Mother!” Gu Qingxin hurriedly caught her mother’s falling body. Together they fell to the ground.
“Mother, somebody, please help us… Mother, wake up… Somebody help…”
It started raining suddenly, the cold rain fell upon the mother and daughter, they had no one but each other…
Gu Qingxin, trembling, pulled out Lin Yin’s phone and dialed 120…
“Mother, wake up. Please, I beg you, wake up, don’t sleep…”
Gu Qingxin held her mother tightly. She tried to shield her from the rain, but it was futile. She watched helplessly as the raindrops soaked her mother, and she… powerless…
Lin Yin was rushed into the emergency room, leaving Gu Qingxin standing forlornly in the rain-drenched hospital corridor…
For all these years, her mother had been her sole pillar of strength. The moment she saw her mother fall, her world collapsed…
Despite knowing that she couldn’t rely on the Gu Family, she had no choice but to call them for her mother’s sake.
However, the Gu Family remained conspicuously absent, even after the rescue was over.
She stood alone, outside the emergency room, all night.
Thanks to the doctors’ persistent efforts, Lin Yin’s condition eventually stabilized.
At dawn, Lin Yin was transferred to the intensive care unit…
Through the heavy glass, Gu Qingxin watched her mother lying helpless on a small bed, hooked up to an array of various machines.
One of the doctors emerged, he looked at the drenched girl in front of him, and asked, “Are you the patient’s relative?”
“Yes, I am. Doctor, how is my mother?” Gu Qingxin’s tears started falling once more.
“The situation is as follows, your mother has a large tumor in her brain, it’s already compressing her nerves. An urgent surgery is required, or her life could be at risk at any moment,” the doctor explained as he snapped shut the medical record.
“Doctor, please, you must save my mother. I’ve lost everything, my mother is all I have left. I can’t lose her. Please, save her,” Gu Qingxin sobbed, clutching the doctor’s arm.
“Young lady, calm down. Your mother’s surgery is quite complex. We can arrange for the procedure here at our hospital, but you need to arrange for the surgical costs as soon as possible.”
“How much will the surgery cost?”
