Qiu Xingyuan found the teacher and tried his best to describe the situation. “Teacher, can you help us call Mommy?”
The kindergarten teacher suddenly became nervous. She called Qiu Tong on the spot only to hear the cold automated female voice on the other end. “The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.” Qiu Xingyu stamped her feet anxiously. Her eyes were filled with tears as she tugged at Qiu Xingyuan’s hand. “Eldest Brother, what should we do?”
Qiu Xingyuan’s heart sank. He turned around and looked at the news footage. “The victim has been sent to Guang Ming Hospital for treatment.”
“Let’s go to the hospital to find Mommy!”
Qiu Xingqiao wanted to run out on impulse, but the kindergarten teacher blocked them. “Children, it’s too dangerous for you to go out now. I will think of a way to contact your mother. After we understand the situation, I will bring you to the hospital, okay?”
The kindergarten teacher was afraid that Qiu Xingyuan and the rest would secretly run out, so she left them in a room and closed the door from the outside.
Qiu Xingyu pursed her lips and looked at the news with a sobbing voice. “Eldest Brother, what should we do?”
“If it is really Mommy in the car accident, we have to go to the hospital quickly!”
Qiu Xingyuan took a deep breath and tried his best to placate his younger siblings. “Let’s wait for teacher…”
Outside the kindergarten, the teachers continued to try calling Qiu Tong but to no avail.
They wanted to contact Qiu Tong using the contact details in the school register, which Qiu Tong had provided when the children first enrolled as students. But they realized that the Qiu family had already moved from that address.
The kindergarten teacher whispered nervously, “Could it really be their mother?”
“Should we send the children to the hospital?”
However, according to the rules, they could not leave the kindergarten without permission. The teachers had no choice but to contact the hospital to inquire about the situation.
Five minutes later, the reporters had rushed to the hospital for a follow-up report.
The children looked at the doctors and nurses walking in and out of the room. Their expressions were especially serious. Under the questioning of the reporters, they hurriedly answered, “The patient’s injuries are very serious now. Her condition is at a very critical stage.”
“I hope the family of the patient will rush to the hospital to sign the paperwork if they see the news.”
When Qiu Xingyuan heard this, his face instantly turned pale. His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and he could not sit still.
Qiu Xingyuan looked at the glass window of the room and said in a tense voice, “Let’s open the window and run out from there!”
Qiu Xingqiao immediately moved a stool over. He was the first to step on the stool and climb to the window. He expertly leaped out and landed safely, before turning around and spreading his arms wide to catch Qiu Xingyuan.
Little Yu nervously climbed up to the window. She looked at the height and felt a little dizzy.
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao comforted her. “Little Yu, close your eyes and jump down. We will catch you!”
Qiu Xingyu was so nervous that she took a deep breath. Thinking that Qiu Tong might be critically ill, she propped herself up against the window and gritted her teeth as she jumped down.
Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao caught her firmly in their arms. The three children fell to the ground due to the impact. Ignoring the abrasions and pain on their arms, they dusted off the dirt and stood up, before rushing to the hospital.
At Guang Ming Hospital, the children found the floor where the emergency room was.
They followed the directions of the man who looked like a doctor and came to a certain ward. The door was locked. Qiu Xingyuan saw the tattoos on the arms of the men in the room and immediately understood that it was all a trap.
They had been tricked!
