Chapter 83

Time slowly trickled away.

Li Jinwen, looking at Lin Mo’s state, didn’t dare to speak up and comfort him.

She knew Lin Mo too well, and she also knew that he was suffering a thousand times, even ten thousand times more than herself right now!

Father, mother, sister…

Those were his dearest kin!

All involved in a car accident, their lives hanging in the balance, such a blow is not something ordinary people can bear!

The more Li Jinwen thought about it, the worse she felt.

After so many years of being together, she had long since come to regard Lin Mo’s family as her own.

But she dared not cry, for she feared that once she started, Lin Mo would feel even more distraught and completely collapse!

Now she could only weep in silence.

Praying silently!

Praying for a miracle to occur, for no tragedy to unfold!

After more than ten minutes, Lin Xiaoxiao’s parents-in-law, accompanied by her cousin and her husband, rushed out of the elevator.

Seeing her parents and daughter,

Li Jinwen suddenly couldn’t hold it in any longer and, embracing her mother, burst into tears loudly.

Her mother’s eyes reddened immediately.

Seeing her mom cry, Lin Xiaoxiao also began sobbing, “Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt, you all have to be okay, wuwuwuwuwuwu, you can’t leave Xiaoxiao behind…”

The sensible girl had, on her way there, already roughly grasped the situation.

Lin Mo did not pay attention to anyone, standing motionless in front of the closed surgery room door, resembling a statue that had lost all signs of life.

Li Lingling, seeing this, was also moved. She wanted to walk over and comfort Lin Mo, but was stopped by her uncle.

Her uncle shook his head at her, gesturing with his eyes that she should not disturb Lin Mo at this point.

Li Lingling got the message and silently backed away.

Lin Mo’s father-in-law took a deep breath, stepped forward a few paces, and arrived at Lin Mo’s side.

“No matter what, you have to stay strong, you are a father, and a husband as well,” he said.

“This is not your fault,” he added solemnly.

Lin Mo was slightly moved, but still made no response.

Time continued to slip by.

Half an hour, an hour.

Two hours, four hours.

But no matter how time passed, the door of the surgery room remained as if welded shut, without the slightest sign of opening.

In contrast, the doors to the other operating rooms had been opened.

Finally,

after a full 7 hours of waiting, the surgery room door in front of Lin Mo was finally pushed open slowly.

Lin Mo, who had been as immobile as a sculpture, almost instantly walked over with red eyes.

But because he had been in the same position for too long, his body had stiffened. He stumbled just two steps out and almost fell at the entrance to the surgery room.

Fortunately, his father-in-law was close by and caught him.

At that moment,

a doctor in a white coat, accompanied by two nurses, emerged.

Lin Mo’s throat seemed to be blocked, he wanted to speak but could not make a sound.

It was the father-in-law who asked, “Doctor, how are the patients doing?”

The doctor sighed.

It was evident he too was exhausted.

After removing his mask, he said, “The surgery is still ongoing, but I wanted to let you know the situation because you’ve been waiting for so long. Currently, of the four patients, three have temporarily passed the danger to their lives, but the oldest male is still in a very critical condition. You need to prepare yourselves mentally!”

The oldest male…

Dad!

Lin Mo’s body softened once again, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Li Jinwen and the others had already come over, quickly supporting him.

“Doctor, no matter the cost, you must save our in-law!” exclaimed one.

“That’s right! You must save my father-in-law!” declared another.

“Please rest assured, we will do everything we can,” responded the doctor.

He helplessly shook his head, put on his mask again, and re-entered the surgery room.

In Huaxia, emergency treatment for car accidents is provided first, with the charges settled afterward, as hospitals don’t worry about nonpayment.

Even if the perpetrator of the accident runs away, the Road Traffic Accident Social Aid Fund will front the costs. Furthermore, one can apply for subrogation from the insurance company later on.

Money wasn’t the issue—the problem was that the doctors also had no confidence in waking up Lin Mo’s father.

His injuries were too severe, with seven or eight ribs broken, serious internal bleeding, and severe trauma to the brain.

Based on his experience, even if his life was saved in this condition, it was very likely that he would become vegetative.

However, the doctor still had great respect for the man Lin Changshui, because according to the medic who had accompanied the ambulance at the scene, Lin Changshui had firmly protected his wife with his own body at the moment of the car accident.

Therefore, the impact was more concentrated, and Xu Qin, who was in worse physical condition, turned out to be the one with the lightest injuries among the four.

Before long, several nurses came out pushing a stretcher bed—it was Lin Mo’s mother.

“Mom…”

Seeing his mother lying on the hospital bed, pale and with her eyes closed, not moving at all, Lin Mo, who had been tense for hours, finally couldn’t help crying.

“Sir, please try to calm down…”

“Sir, please try to calm down….”

Two male nurses skillfully stopped Lin Mo, while the other nurses pushed the bed into the nearby ICU critical care unit.

Although she was temporarily out of life-threatening danger, it didn’t mean there were no risks.

She still had to be admitted to the ICU critical care unit.

And visits were not allowed in the ICU.

In the end, Lin Mo could only watch through the thick glass as his mother lay in the ICU ward, her body wrapped in blood-stained bandages, an oxygen mask on her mouth and nose, monitored by numerous devices.

After a while,

his sister Lin Siyu and Zhang Li were also pushed out, and like Xu Qin, they were all in a comatose state.

The doctor told Lin Mo that for now, all three were out of life-threatening danger.

Although his mother had the lightest injuries, her situation was a bit troublesome because her body was weak to begin with, and now she suffered multiple fractures and internal organ involvement, so it might take some time for her to wake up.

As for his sister and Zhang Li, their conditions had already stabilized.

But his sister had sustained a severe brain injury, and how she would fare was yet to be observed.

Lin Changshui’s condition was still uncertain, waiting for the experts’ consultation to conclude before deciding on the next surgical method and process.

Lin Changshui was also the only patient among the four victims who had been issued a critical condition notice.

10 p.m.

In the special care ward.

Lin Mo sat beside Lin Siyu’s bed, waiting for her and Zhang Li to wake up.

His parents were now in the ICU ward, and he could not go in to accompany them.

Li Jinwen came to Lin Mo with a bowl of rice porridge, “Eat something; you haven’t eaten all day!”

Having calmed down throughout the entire day, Lin Mo’s emotions had gradually stabilized.

He shook his head, eyes fixed on Lin Siyu, who was wearing an oxygen mask, her face bruised and swollen almost beyond recognition, and softly refused his wife’s kindness, “I’m not hungry, you eat.”

Li Jinwen tried to persuade him a few more times.

But Lin Mo really had no appetite.

Li Jinwen nodded in understanding; she didn’t have an appetite either.

With something like this happening, who could eat?

Not just her—Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t eat either.

Lin Mo’s in-laws initially wanted to come and try to persuade him, but they were stopped by Li Jinwen.

And just then, from the adjacent bed, wrapped in bandages and with many grisly wounds on his face, as well as wearing an oxygen mask, Zhang Li suddenly spoke, very quietly and weakly, “Brother… Sister-in-law…”

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen were both startled and looked towards Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was an orphan with no family, so even with such a serious car accident, there was no one to visit him.

“You’re awake!”

Lin Mo immediately leaned in, “JinWen, quickly go call the doctor!”

“Okay!”

Li Jinwen nodded emphatically and ran out.

His father-in-law, mother-in-law, female cousin, and cousin-in-law, along with Lin Xiaoxiao, all gathered around too.

“Brother…”

“That truck… did it on purpose # ¥

Zhang Li looked at Lin Mo with reddened eyes, his emotions somewhat agitated, but because of his weakened state, his voice was as faint as a mosquito’s and very hoarse, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Seeing that Zhang Li had something to say, Lin Mo quickly got up and leaned closer, pressing his ear to him, “What did you say? Don’t rush, speak slowly…”

“Brother… that truck… did it on purpose… it hit us deliberately… I dodged… but…”

Before he could finish.

Zhang Li, who seemed to have had a momentary rally, once again lost strength and slipped back into unconsciousness.

But this time, Lin Mo heard his words loud and clear!
