Looking at Lin Mo’s tightly furrowed brows, Li Jinwen’s face also took on a less pleasant look at that moment.
“Could the car be in a tunnel with no signal?”
A tunnel?
Theoretically, since mom and dad had already entered North City District, and this wasn’t a suburban road, where would there be a tunnel?
Lin Mo frowned and kept a stern face, not saying a word.
Li Jinwen knew that his attempt at reassurance was baseless; he could only dial Lin Siyu’s number again while saying, “I’m calling again, don’t panic yet.”
The rain outside the window grew heavier, and Lin Mo’s heart inexplicably became more restless.
The few people chatting not far away soon noticed the anomaly by the window and gradually fell silent.
In the following minutes, the whole private room was silent.
Hum… hum hum…
Just as Lin Mo was about to call his father, his cell phone rang, displaying only three digits.
no.
This…
Lin Mo shuddered, almost instinctively, he picked up the call immediately. Before he could speak, he heard the voice on the other end ask, “Is this Mr. Lin Mo?”
“I… It’s me.” Lin Mo’s hands couldn’t stop trembling.
His father-in-law, mother-in-law, Li Lingling, and Liu Miao also got up and walked over. Even the lively Lin Xiaoxiao sensed the abnormal atmosphere and stared blankly at the circle of adults with troubled expressions.
The voice of the no operator came through again: “Mr. Lin Mo, is Lin Changshui your father?”
“Yes!”
Lin Mo almost subconsciously asked, “What happened to my dad? What’s wrong?”
The operator paused for a few seconds before speaking, “I’m very sorry to inform you that your father’s car was just involved in a serious traffic accident, and he is currently on his way to North City’s First City Hospital…”
A serious car accident?!
This…
Lin Mo’s brain buzzed.
But he still tried hard to remain calm, “How, how are they doing now?”
“I’m not very clear about that, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible, or contact the attending traffic officer immediately. I have sent the mobile number to your text messages.”
Lin Mo abruptly hung up the call.
His mind, at that moment, was a complete blank!
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness came over him, nearly causing Lin Mo to collapse to the floor.
Fortunately, Li Jinwen quickly supported him.
“..It won’t be anything serious, maybe it’s just a minor accident…” Li Jinwen had completely panicked, her eyes filled with tears, “Don’t rush, don’t, don’t rush, let’s hurry to the hospital, it won’t be anything serious… It definitely won’t!”
When people face extreme shock, they have no time for grief, not even an instinctive reaction.
Lin Mo’s subconscious told him that if it were a regular accident, it would be impossible for the entire family’s phones to be unreachable and for the operator to describe it as a serious accident.
But he now didn’t dare believe his own subconscious!
At this time, his father-in-law who came over also asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Mo had no mood to answer and just ran out.
“There’s been an accident! Dad, we need to go to the hospital quickly! You guys take Xiaoxiao!” Li Jinwen was too choked up to say more as she hurriedly chased after Lin Mo.
The others were stunned for a long time, but after reacting, they too ran out.
Li Jinwen didn’t let Lin Mo drive.
And Lin Mo knew that in his current state, he simply couldn’t drive!
His hands trembled continuously!
“Don’t panic!”
“Honey, don’t panic! Everything will be alright!”
Li Jinwen’s face was already covered in tears as large tear drops kept sliding down her cheeks.
She drove to the hospital as fast as she could.
Lin Mo was on the phone with the on-duty traffic police officer.
Once connected, Lin Mo asked with a shaking voice, “I am Lin Changshui’s son, how is my father’s condition?”
The on-duty traffic officer, evidently having seen many different car accidents and having dealt with similar situations, answered very calmly, “Don’t worry, we don’t knowyet. The accident was quite severe; all four people in the car were seriously injured. What you need to do now is hurry to the hospital; I’ll be waiting for you at the emergency entrance.”
All four people… all seriously injured?
Upon hearing this news, both Lin Mo and Li Jinwen’s faces turned completely pale in an instant.
Li Jinwen wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t. She just pressed the gas pedal even harder than before.
There were many cars in front of the hospital, making it unrealistic to drive straight in.
Li Jinwen didn’t bother to park the car properly.
She stopped the car haphazardly at the side and both of them rushed into the hospital.
The rain continued to fall, and by the time they reached the emergency hall’s entrance, they were both drenched.
Two traffic police officers, also soaked through, stood at the hospital entrance, wearing reflective vests.
Lin Mo rushed over and blurted out, “I… I… I am Lin Mo. Where are my family members… my family members?”
Li Jinwen was also very anxious, she followed Lin Mo and quickly added, “Officer, we just spoke on the phone, we’re Lin Changshui’s family!”
As a police officer, he had experienced many similar situations.
Having seen it often, he was less emotional.
“I know, don’t panic just now, panicking won’t help. It has already happened; try to calm down and come with me,” he said.
The two police officers turned and entered the hospital lobby; Lin Mo and Li Jinwen hastily followed.
The group of four took the elevator up to the 18th floor of the hospital, the dedicated surgery floor. Inside the elevator, the two police officers kept consoling Lin Mo and Li Jinwen, telling them that life is unpredictable and that panicking was useless; they needed to remain calm and handle the situation properly.
Soon, they arrived at the surgery hall on the 18th floor.
The officer pointed to the closed surgery room doors and said with a sympathetic look to Lin Mo and Li Jinwen, “The four people from the business van were just brought in not long ago. They should be currently undergoing emergency treatment. We won’t know the specifics of their injuries until the doctors come out.”
“This is the initial accident report.”
“At present, we preliminarily conclude that the accident was caused by the truck driver’s fatigue driving; the truck is fully responsible.”
The two police officers did not leave immediately; out of humanity, they stayed with Lin Mo and Li Jinwen for a while, doing a lot of counseling work.
After Lin Mo and Li Jinwen began to accept the reality of the car accident and had dealt with the hospital staff, the officers left.
For the police officers, it was just another day at work.
After leaving here, they would move on to deal with the next tragedy, in an endless cycle.
But no matter what, every time they saw a once whole family shattered, they couldn’t help feeling bitter inside.
And compared to them, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen felt an even deeper agony.
It was supposed to be a beautiful day, a day of family reunion, but who could have expected such an outcome!!
Li Jinwen had long been crying her eyes out.
But from beginning to end, Lin Mo did not shed a single tear; his face was just very pale, and since arriving at the surgery hall on the 18th floor of the hospital, his gaze had been firmly fixed on the firmly shut surgery room doors, not leaving them for even half a second.
