Hello, Heir

A ray of golden light flashed before her eyes, causing her to lose her balance, move backwards for a few steps, and fall on the sofa.

The feeling was indescribable. Zhuang Nainai felt like she was dazed, confused, and going crazy.

However, her mother’s teaching made her calm down quickly.

At this moment, she was even calmer than just now. “Which ward is she in? How is my mother’s injury? Is the injury life-threatening? How much is the surgical fee? Has the culprit been caught?”

Even the police officer on the other end was taken aback by her calm voice and was only able to answer her moments later. “Your mother is still in the surgical room at the ER. The doctor will inform you about her specific condition. The culprit has escaped, but we have obtained the recording, so we will be able to arrest the culprit soon. You will have to pay for the surgical fee for now.”

“Okay, I will head over now.”

After Zhuang Nainai hung up the call, she took all the money at home and the ATM card and ran to the hospital.

In those moments, she was very anxious.

She did not bother to save the transportation fee and simply hailed a cab to the hospital.

The lights at the ER was flashing incessantly. When Zhuang Nainai reached the hospital, there were two police officers standing outside. Doctors were walking in and out. As she approached, she witnessed a few more doctors rushing into the ER.

Next, a nurse dashed out. “Where is the family member of the patient? The patient is in urgent need of a blood transfusion and some costs will be incurred, so we need the signature of a family member!”

The compassionate police officers were panicking as well. Just when they were about to take out theirs phones to call Zhuang Nainai again, Zhuang Nainai rushed forward. “I’m her daughter!”

The nurse glanced at Zhuang Nainai. “Where is her husband?”

Zhuang Nainai choked. “I don’t have a father.”

The nurse furrowed her brows again. “What about her parents?”

Zhuang Nainai shook her head again. “She doesn’t have parents. I’m her only kin. Can’t I sign the papers?”

The nurse examined her. “You are still underage, aren’t you?”

Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief instantly as she whipped out her identification card from her pocket hurriedly. “I’m of legal age. I just turned 18 years old a month ago.”

After Zhuang Nainai signed the papers, the nurse entered the surgical room again.

As Zhuang Nainai stood by the surgical room door, she stared at the flashing lights lifelessly. Her mind was completely blank and she could no longer think.

After a full six hours, the lights of the ER were finally turned off.

A doctor opened the surgical room door and walked out.

Zhuang Nainai was extremely tensed at that moment; even her breathing was held. She was so nervous, she could not utter a single word.

In this world, her only kin was her mother. She just hoped that God would save her mother’s life.

The police officer asked, “Doctor, how is the patient?”

The doctor removed his mask and replied, “Her life is no longer at risk.”

As soon as those words got out of his mouth, Zhuang Nainai’s legs turned to jelly. However, the doctor continued, “But the patient experienced head collision, and this has caused intracerebral hemorrhage and constriction of her nerves. The blood clot is too big, so we don’t recommend a craniotomy as it incurs a certain level of risk.”

Zhuang Nainai felt slightly like she could not comprehend the information. She looked at the doctor blankly and asked, “Then, is Mother going to die?”

The doctor shook his head. “No, she won’t. The small blood clot under her skull does not pose any danger to her life.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Then, will there be any residual effects?”

The doctor said, “We can’t say for sure right now. Many people only experience mild concussion and they would be fine after some rest. But some people… ahem. We can only know the specific condition of the patient after she wakes up.”
