She suddenly found it hard to understand why some people could be so cruel, so vicious?
If this time it wasn’t just injuring someone, but accidentally killing someone, what were they planning to do?
When they went to all that trouble to set her up, had they considered this possibility? Did they?
As Shi Nuan was in a daze, Yao Ziwan came over and said, "Lady, I’ll arrange for someone to send this car to the 4S shop for repairs. Would you like to go to the hospital now?"
Shi Nuan blinked and said, "...Yes, let’s go now!"
The person hit by the car this time was a middle-aged man around thirty-five, divorced with no children, and not from a wealthy family.
Besides his parents and uncles, he had a brother, a sister, and a younger sister.
Perhaps Shi Yuanbo was worried that the incident would be known by the media, so he arranged for the hospital, one of the more private ones in T City—a private hospital called Shangming Hospital.
Shi Nuan was relieved to have Yao Ziwan accompany her; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been easy to see the patient and his family.
The two were led to the door of the ward by a nurse. The nurse had previously mentioned that most of the patient’s family members were not present today, leaving only his younger sister to care for him.
Shi Nuan felt very fortunate that those not pursuing responsibility belonged to the patient’s family, rather than the patient himself; if they were there, things would be harder to resolve.
The nurse left, Shi Nuan took a deep breath, and knocked on the door, while Yao Ziwan stood respectfully behind her.
Quickly, the ward door opened, and standing before Shi Nuan was a girl about her age, likely the patient’s younger sister.
She looked at Shi Nuan, finding her vaguely familiar but unable to recall where they might have met...
"May I ask who you are..." the girl asked.
Shi Nuan’s lips moved slightly, saying, "Hello, my name is Shi Nuan, the owner of the car that hit your brother..." fre.ewebnov el.com
Upon hearing this, Yao Ziwan’s face changed slightly with some concern, and the girl’s brows furrowed. Just as she was about to speak, a sound of dishes clattering to the floor came from inside the ward...
Followed by a man’s almost frantic roar: "Get out! I don’t want to see you! Everyone from the Shi family, get out... all of you get out..."
The girl turned her head and glanced inside, hurriedly saying to Shi Nuan: "You... you’d better leave, we don’t want to see you, and my brother certainly wouldn’t want to see you..."
With that, without waiting for Shi Nuan to respond, she closed the ward door with a "bang—".
Shi Nuan heard the girl’s voice calling "brother" from inside, the man’s continued shouting, and her curled eyelashes trembled...
Yao Ziwan glanced at Shi Nuan and, after hesitating, said: "Lady, since they don’t want to see us, we should just..."
But Shi Nuan shook her head: "If I retreat at the first closed door, where’s my sincerity in coming here?"
After speaking, she reached out again to knock on the door, knocking for a long time without any response.
Unwilling to give up, Shi Nuan continued knocking, likely annoying those inside, and finally, the door to the ward was opened.
Before the person inside could roar again, the girl quickly came out, closing the door behind her. She looked at Shi Nuan and said, "Miss Shi, whether you came to apologize or show sympathy, it holds no meaning for my brother because no amount of money or apologies can bring back his lost leg... just leave, my parents said they wouldn’t press charges, so we won’t, you really don’t need to come by again..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nuan frowned and asked, "I’m sorry... did you just say... the lost leg? Wasn’t it said to be just an injury?"
As soon as the girl heard this, tears streamed down her face as she said, "Injury? If it was just an injury, would my brother be ? My brother’s left leg has already been amputated..."
