On purpose?

That truck, it deliberately hit them?

Zhang Li’s hoarse and weak words struck Lin Mo like a thunderbolt!

What does that mean?

On purpose?

Lin Mo’s pupils shrank sharply, his mind in turmoil!

Seeing Zhang Li wake up and say something, everyone in the hospital room crowded closer.

The mother-in-law, who was closest, looked at Lin Mo, whose complexion had turned iron blue as if he had heard some shocking information, then at Zhang Li, who had fainted again, and couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “Mo, what did he just say?”

The father-in-law also asked, “Yes, what did he say? Who is Gu Yide? What does that mean?”

Li Lingling and her husband looked at Lin Mo with similar faces full of expectation and confusion.

Although they hadn’t heard clearly what Zhang Li had said.

But from the shock on Lin Mo’s face, it was clear that Zhang Li had definitely divulged some alarming information.

Could it be about the accident?

They couldn’t be sure, all they could do was look expectantly at Lin Mo, hoping he would provide an answer.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao at this moment had red-rimmed eyes as she looked up at Lin

Mo.

All of them wanted to know what Zhang Li had said to make Lin Mo’s face turn so deathly pale.

However, faced with the questions from his in-laws, Lin Mo gave no response.

He stood there as if frozen, motionless, his eyes narrowed to pinpoints, filled with shock.

The in-laws exchanged puzzled glances.

The cousin and her husband also turned to look at each other.

They all found Lin Mo’s reaction very strange.

“Mo?”

“Mo??”

“What’s wrong with you? What exactly did Zhang Li say??

The father-in-law gently shook Lin Mo.

Lin Mo jerked, coming back to his senses.

The lookhe gave his father-in-law was fierce and terrifying, startling the in­laws and cousin couple next to him.

But soon, Lin Mo suppressed that fierceness.

“Nothing…”

Lin Mo shook his head blankly, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, “I didn’t hear clearly what he said.”

Didn’t hear clearly?

Upon hearing this, whether it was the in-laws or the cousin couple, all were stunned.

How could he not have heard clearly?

The emotional shift Lin Mo had shown earlier was clearly because he had heard something very serious!

Was Lin Mo deliberately keeping it to himself?

Li Lingling and Liu Miao exchanged glances, sensing something was off.

The father-in-law was about to ask again to clarify the issue, but at that moment, a series of urgent footsteps came from outside the ward, and Li Jinwen entered swiftly with doctors and nurses.

There was no time to question Lin Mo further, as everyone hastily made way.

The doctor was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Among doctors, he wasn’t considered old.

He was just a regular on-duty doctor, not any kind of specialist.

Standing by the bed, he conducted a series of routine checks on Zhang Li and asked, “How long did the patient regain consciousness just now?”

Li Lingling was the first to interject, “About ten seconds or so, and he was quite agitated before he lost consciousness again.”

Liu Miao nudged Li Lingling gently with his elbow, frowning to signal his wife not to attract too much attention at this time and to keep quiet.

It was for Lin Mo and Li Jinwen themselves to answer any questions.

Li Lingling realized she was being meddlesome and quickly nodded, taking a step back.

She had just spoken out of anxiety and without thinking.

As the doctor continued to check the various monitors around, he asked, “Did

the patient say anything just now?”

Upon hearing this, everyone again looked at Lin Mo.

Zhang Li had spoken before, with great emotion, but his voice was very weak and hoarse. At the time, Lin Mo had been the closest to him and the most likely to have heard him clearly—only Lin Mo.

The others tactfully remained silent.

They were all waiting for Lin Mo to speak.

“He did speak—two sentences—but his voice was very faint and very hoarse, and I didn’t catch what he was saying,” Lin Mo still chose to hold back, not repeating what Zhang Li had said. Given the current uncertain situation, many things absolutely could not be revealed casually. Having answered the doctor’s question, he turned the question back, asking, “Doctor, how much longer will it take for them to fully regain consciousness?”

“That’s hard to say,” the doctor glanced at the patient condition log beside him and instructed the nurse to record the patient’s moment of regaining consciousness. He then spoke again, “For victims of car accidents like this, the brain is subject to varying degrees of trauma, which can cause all sorts of conditions. However, since he was able to wake up just now and even speak, this indicates that his brain damage is relatively mild, which is a good thing.

“But as for when he’ll fully come around, that will depend on the subsequent progression of his condition.”

Having said that,

the doctor took a deep breath, looked around at the people in the ward, and then turned his gaze back to Lin Mo, the leader here, asking, “What is your relationship to the patient?”

Lin Mo replied calmly, “I’m their elder brother. If there’s anything you need to say, please go ahead.”

The doctor nodded and suggested, “I understand you’re worried about the patient, but it would be best if there aren’t too many people in the ward at the same time for the near future. It’s not conducive to the patient’s recovery. They are extremely weak right now, need a lot of rest, and must avoid any viral infections. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded, indicating he understood.

He had actually been concerned about this issue beforehand, and now that the doctor mentioned it, he immediately asked, “Doctor, I’d like to apply for one of those special care wards. Don’t wait for the insurance; I’ll pay out of pocket.” According to Lin Mo, most hospitals in Rakshasa City had those special, upscale wards that weren’t public and were reserved for the use of the privileged.

After all, people of wealth, power, and influence, when ill, wouldn’t be expected to share spaces with the general population.

Money is for spending. As a son and as an elder brother, Lin Mo now desperately wished he could take the place of his parents and sister lying in the hospital bed suffering, but it simply wasn’t realistic. Therefore, he could only strive to secure better medical conditions to help his family recover.

“Also, I want the most authoritative experts in your hospital to take charge of my family’s treatment, no matter the cost,” Lin Mo spoke with great confidence.

He currently had about twenty million in cash on hand, and even if he spent it all on his parents and sister, he wouldn’t frown for a second.

But Lin Mo also knew that getting into a special ward at Rakshasa Public Hospital wasn’t just a matter of money. The reason he asked was to feel out the situation and then figure out a way.

“Yes, doctor! Don’t worry about the money; we just want our family to be safe!

Li Jinwen quickly spoke up as well.

Although she really wanted to buy a house and valued money, living frugally on a normal basis,

now was not the time to hesitate, even if it meant spending a lot of money.

If the five million saved for the house wasn’t enough, then they’d take out loans!

As long as the family was safe, money could be earned again!
