Chapter 507 Inform!

The Gong and Xiao families were gathered in the courtyard of the Gong family.

Many villagers knew that Xiao Lingyu had given birth, so they came to congratulate the two families.

“Congratulations on a new grandson!”

“Congratulations!”

“I heard that the child is very beautiful from birth, right?”

Grandma Xiao smiled and said, “Yes, he’s very handsome!” Grandma Xiao was not stingy with her praise for her great-grandson.

Many villagers stayed at the Gong Residence because they wanted to see the child.

At this moment, Xiao Wang walked over with a solemn expression. He looked at the people present but could only report, “Old Master, something has happened!”

Old Master Gong frowned.

When the people present heard that, they quieted down.

Xiao Wang reported truthfully, “Xie Zhenzhong called just now and said that young master and Madam were in a car accident. Young master is seriously injured. Mr. Situ is on his way there.”

Situ Xing was a doctor and one of the top doctors in the world. The moment he heard that Gong Tianhao was in a car accident, he rushed over immediately.

“What?” Everyone stood up in shock. They could not believe what had happened.

Grandma Xiao pulled on Xiao Wang’s sleeve and asked anxiously, “Xiao Wang, that can’t be true, right?”

Xiao Wang pursed his lips tightly and said with a serious expression, “Grandma Xiao, this is true. A huge truck lost control and suddenly rushed over and crashed into the eldest young master and Young Madam’s car.

So…”

“No, I don’t believe it!” Grandma Xiao’s emotions became agitated. She could not accept it and faint.

“Grandma Xiao!” Xiao Wang and the people around her immediately cried out in worry. They moved to shield her from falling.

The other members of the Xiao Family were stunned too.

“Xiao Wang, where did Tianhao and the others get into the car accident?” Eldest Uncle Xiao asked anxiously.

Xiao Wang said, “At the intersection between the county and the town.”

As soon as Xiao Wang finished speaking, the members of the Xiao family quickly ran out, their expressions anxious and worried.

Xiao Wang said, “Uncle Xiao, they have already been sent to the People’s Hospital.”

Grandma Xiao woke up, and she said, “I want to go too!”

Moments ago, they were celebrating the arrival of a newborn in the family. But now, they received the news of a car accident. They simply couldn’t believe it.

All of the Xiao family members left at once. Some of the villagers followed because they were worried. Others stayed with the Gong Family, wondering if they needed any help.

Old Master Gong leaned on his walking stick. Ever since Xiao Wang had reported this matter to him, his expression was solemn and calm. He didn’t say a word.

Xiao Wang called out worriedly, “Old Master…”

Old Master Gong said, “Hao… Hao ‘Er… how are the others? And the children. How are the children?”

Xiao Wang said, “Initially, there were two cars that went to the hospital. However, young master called an extra car because he wanted to be alone with young madam. So there were three cars when they left. The truck only crashed into young master’s car. The rest of them are fine.

“The junior young master is in another car, and the young madam was shielded by young master. Other than being slightly injured, she is also safe and sound. Only… only young master’s condition is unknown.” Xiao Wang knew this news was hard to accept, but Old Master Gong was the head of the Gong Family. He had to report the truth.

“Mr. Situ has already rushed over to the site,” Xiao Wang added, “Old Master, you don’t have to worry. Young master will definitely be fine.”

Old Master Gong straightened his shoulders and said loudly, “The descendants of the Gong family have always been strong people. No matter how great the difficulties and setbacks are, they will definitely survive.” Then, Old Master Gong asked, “Why is there a sudden car accident?”

Xiao Wang said, “According to the investigation, the truck suddenly malfunctioned, and the driver of the truck died on the spot! According to the preliminary investigation, it was an accident!”

Old Master Gong pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. After some time, Old Master Gong slammed his cane heavily on the ground and said coldly, “Investigate further!”

“Yes!” This was too much of a coincidence! The main road there was flat. If the brakes of a large truck failed, the driver could have easily whirred off the side of the road. However, this truck drove into heavy traffic.

When the villagers saw the stern Old Master Gong, they felt fear. He was not as amiable as he usually was. Some of the more timid ones had a change in expression and immediately left the courtyard of the Gong family. The more courageous ones restrained their fear and stayed behind to see if the Gong family needed any help.

After Old Master Gong gave the order, Xiao Wang turned to order his people. Then, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang followed Old Master Gong to Xing Yin County People’s Hospital.

Outside the emergency room of People’s Hospital, Xiao Lingyu and the others were waiting anxiously.

Mother Xiao and the others felt as if the sky was about to fall.

They were supposed to be celebrating. However, a bolt of thunder shot down from the sky, and a calamity fell.

Mother Xiao hugged the child and cried until her eyes were red and swollen. The child in her arms seemed to feel the sad atmosphere and also cried non-stop.

This was the first time the child cried like this after he was born.

Mother Xiao endured her grief and coaxed the child, “Oh, baby, don’t cry. Your Daddy will be fine.” However, Mother Xiao couldn’t stop crying herself.

Xiao Lingyun was crying hard too. At this moment, no one could comfort anyone. They were all praying for Gong Tianhao’s safety.

Xiao Lingyu was covered in blood, and her eyes were red and swollen. She sat at the entrance of the emergency room in a daze.

She knew that Gong Tianhao would survive. However, when she thought about how Gong Tianhao had risked his life to save her, her heart could not help but ache. Gong Tianhao had fulfilled his promise and used his life to protect her. Father Xiao walked over with red eyes. He patted Xiao Lingyu’s shoulder and comforted her, “Yu ‘Er, Tianhao will be fine. He will definitely be fine.”

He was comforting Xiao Lingyu as well as himself.

“Yu ‘Er, you should look after your boy. He needs his mother. He can’t keep on crying in this cold weather.” Father Xiao sobbed. “It’ll damage his throat.”

Xiao Lingyu looked at Father Xiao blankly. Father Xiao sighed heavily and walked to Mother Xiao’s side to take the child.

He handed the child to Xiao Lingyu and said, “Give the child a sip of milk and comfort him. He has been crying ever since the car accident. He probably knows that something bad has happened.”

Seeing the fair and tender child in front of her, Xiao Lingyu’s tears fell like rain again. She had failed Xiao Tong again.

Xiao Lingyu reached out to hold the child. She whispered, “Baby, don’t cry. Daddy with be fine. I’ll feed you some milk so that you can grow up quickly!”

It was unclear if the baby understood her or not, but he did stop crying. Even after the baby was fed, he refused to sleep. He stared at his mother with his eyes wide open. He even turned his head, wanting to look in the direction of the emergency room.

However, he was still too young and did not know how to express himself.

His head twisted a few times, and his hands scratched the air. In the end, he could not hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep again. There were tears in the corner of his eyes.

Xiao Lingyu saw this and felt a small burst of joy. At the same time, she was envious.

It was so good to be a child. He would be carefree and did not need to know anything.

Mother Xiao carried the baby away after he fell asleep because she was worried about Xiao Lingyu’s mental condition. Someone had to take care of the child.

Not long after Mother Xiao carried the baby away, Grandmother Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, and the others came over.

As soon as Grandma Xiao came over, she asked Father Xiao anxiously, “Ol Two, how is the situation now? Has Tianhao awakened?”

Father Xiao shook his head and said, “Not yet. He’s still in the emergency room!”

Grandma Xiao said in disbelief, “How could this happen? He is a very good driver!”

No one could answer.

Grandpa Xiao asked with a cold expression, “What about the driver who hit him?”

Father Xiao said solemnly, “Dad, that driver died on the spot!”

Grandpa Xiao was stunned and didn’t say a word.

Grandma Xiao was also stunned. They were all kind and simple people from the countryside.

Hearing that the driver died on the spot, out of respect for the deceased, they stopped blaming the departed.

The group of people just stood or sat in silence, waiting for the emergency room door to open. Everyone secretly prayed that Gong Tianhao would survive this disaster and be safe.

After a long period of time, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

Old Master Gong had arrived. Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang supported him.

His only grandson was still in the emergency room. No matter what the outcome was, he had to come and take a look.

When Xiao Lingyu saw Old Master Gong, her swollen eyes started to tear up again. She stood up and walked up to him as she cried out apologetically and guiltily, “Grandfather, I’m sorry. I’m the one who harmed Tianhao. If Tianhao didn’t do it to protect me, he… he wouldn’t…”

Old Master Gong endured his grief and patted Xiao Lingyu on the shoulder as he said in a trembling voice, “Yu ‘Er, it’s not your fault. It’s good that you’re fine. Hao ‘Er only did what a father and a husband should do. Don’t blame yourself.”

“Grandfather!” Xiao Lingyu cried out. She thought that Old Master Gong would blame her. However, Old Master Gong didn’t say a single harsh word. He even comforted her.

Xiao Lingyu suddenly hugged Old Master Gong and kept saying, “Grandfather, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Old Master Gong patted her back and comforted her, “Lass, don’t cry. You just gave birth yesterday. You need to recover too. Plus, if you keep on crying like this, the brat will die of heartache when he wakes up.”

The others sobbed hearing this. They knew that Xiao Lingyu had married into a good family, but they didn’t expect the family to be so sensible and magnanimous.

While they felt gratified for Xiao Lingyu, they were also deeply worried.

What if…

Under the comfort of Old Master Gong, Xiao Lingyu gradually stopped crying.

Then, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, “Grandfather, I have something to tell you in private!”

Xiao Lingyu knew that this was not the time to talk in private. However, she had to have this conversation. When Situ Xing came out, they would have to send Gong Tianhao back to the capital and someone had to feed Gong Tianhao the spring water every day. Old Master Gong was the only person she trusted to do that.

Old Master Gong was stunned. Why would his granddaughter-in-law actually ask to speak to him in private at that moment?

His heart couldn’t help but sink, but he still nodded. “Okay!”

Then, Xiao Lingyu and Old Master Gong moved to the director’s office.

Xiao Lingyu used her sharp eyes to scan the office. When she realized that there wasn’t any surveillance equipment, she quickly locked the door and closed the curtains.

Old Master Gong was shocked. ‘What on Earth is she doing?”

Xiao Lingyu quickly walked up to Old Master Gong and said seriously, “Grandfather, please close your eyes!”

Old Master Gong stared at Xiao Lingyu suspiciously for a moment. Xiao Lingyu’s entire body was tense, and she was very worried and nervous. She was very worried that Old Master Gong wouldn’t trust her. If that happened… she didn’t know what to do at all.

Fortunately, Old Master Gong eventually closed his eyes.

A moment later, Xiao Lingyu said, “Grandfather, please open your eyes!”

Old Master Gong opened his eyes. When he did, he was extremely shocked despite his experience.

Previously, they were clearly in the hospital director’s office, so how did he end up in a field with fruits and flowers?

“Lass… This…” Old Master Gong was so shocked that he didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Lingyu explained, “Grandfather, we don’t have much time, so I’ll make this short. This is my farming space, and this is the spirit spring.”

Xiao Lingyu picked up a scythe next to her and cut her palm.

“Girl, what are you doing?” Old Master Gong hurriedly stopped her. Then, he looked at the next scene with his mouth agape. “The wound… The wound has healed?!”

Xiao Lingyu took out her hand that she had dipped into the spring. “Grandfather, look.”

Old Master Gongsaid in shock, “Lass, what’s going on?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Grandfather, I need your trust and support before I can go further.”

Old Master Gong thought for a moment and replied seriously, “Alright!”
