Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The chauffeur bent down and tried his best to coax him in a kind tone. “Little kid, were you the one who saved this sister just now? Are you injured? Uncle will get the doctor to bring you to the hospital for a checkup later, okay?”
The child’s face was tense as he slowly shook his head and said, “I’m not injured. I don’t have to go to the hospital. It will cost a lot of money to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
He was young and did not speak well, but the content of his words did not match his age at all.
The chauffeur was stunned for a mont before continuing with a gentle smile. “You don’t have to spend money. Uncle will pay for your dical expenses as well as those of this sister.”
Only then did the child raise his head and sized up the adult in front of him. His black and bright eyes were like a pair of grapes. He darted his eyes around cleverly. Then, he hesitated and pulled the chauffeur’s sleeve as if he was a little embarrassed to say it. “Uncle, 1 don’t need a checkup, but I want to give the opportunity to check my body to Mommy, okay?”
Gao Wen was originally stamring about her injuries. When she heard the little boy’s words, she actually forgot that she was still sitting on the ground. She frowned and glanced at him in confusion. “Why? What’s wrong with your mother’s body?”
“Mom’s back has been hurting a lot recently. I eavesdropped on her talking to Dad. Dad said Mom might need surgery, but the surgery costs a lot of money. Mom doesn’t want to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
The little boy spoke seriously. Although his words were intermittent, it was not difficult to hear what he ant.
Gao Wen was stunned for a mont before she got up from the ground and patted the gravel on her hand. “You saved my life today. I should repay you. Leave your mother to !”
“Really!” The little boy’s eyes lit up. He reached out excitedly to tug at her sleeve.
However, just as he raised his hand, he saw his dirty palm. He hurriedly put his hands behind his back in embarrassnt and smiled innocently. “Thank you, Sister. Then I’ll bring you to my mother now!”
“Not yet.” Gao Wen spread her hands helplessly and pointed across the street. “My wallet has just been stolen. We have to wait for them to bring it back.”
The little boy nodded as if he understood. From this, he ca to the conclusion that he could not bring his mother to the hospital yet. The light in his eyes dimd again.
Fortunately, the ambulance called by the driver arrived quickly. Gao Wen still had her cell phone. After calling the butler at ho to explain the situation, she had to bring the little boy to the hospital first.
Unexpectedly, the originally obedient and cute child suddenly struggled with all his might at this mont, causing the paradic to wonder if Gao Wen was human trafficking. He sized up her clothes suspiciously.
Gao Wen was usually the most impatient to coax people, especially when it was a half-grown child. As she pushed and shoved, her patience was completely exhausted. She pushed the child, who kept flapping his arms, away in frustration and shouted at him in a nasty tone, “Are you crazy?! Even if you don’t want to go to the hospital, I still have to go. If you continue to make a fuss, I’ll leave you here and not care about you!”
“I’m not going to the hospital!” The little boy took advantage of her pause to hug the small tree beside him tightly and refused to let go. He glared stubbornly with his round eyes.
Gao Wen was instantly furious. The hair on her temples was completely drenched in sweat. She was in such a sorry state that she felt embarrassed to be seen.
Annoyed, she crawled into the ambulance, not wanting to look at this insensible brat. She coldly ordered the dical staff to drive the ambulance away.
The mont the back door closed, Gao Wen lifted the hair in front of her eyes. She was caught off guard and looked at the child who was hugging the tree by the roadside and refusing to let go. His eyes were filled with grievance.
In a flash, a sudden thought entered her mind. She hurriedly grabbed the side of the door and stopped the car door from closing. She jumped out of the ambulance under the shocked gaze of the dical staff. Enduring the burning pain in her leg, she walked to the little boy step by step. Her voice was a little awkward. “Are you worried that if 1 take you to the hospital, you won’t be able to bring your mother?”
The little boy had an “as expected” expression on his face, and there was suddenly so hostility in his eyes, as if she was a female liar who didn’t keep her word.
Gao Wen was speechless. She held his arm patiently and pulled the little child in front of her. “If you don’t listen, I’ll go back on my word and not bring your mother to the hospital for a checkup!”
The little boy struggled at first, but he quickly understood what she ant. Hope rose in his dim eyes. “Sister, I’ll be obedient! Please bring Mommy!”
The sunlight shone into his eyes, but it made her heart burn.
It was rare for Gao Wen to soften her tone. She coaxed the child patiently, “Alright, follow to the hospital for a checkup first. 1’11 bring your mother to the hospital after I’m done with my wound.”
“Thank you, Sister!” The little boy smiled happily, his smile shining on the warm sumr day.
After this incident, Gao Wen did not go back on her word. She instructed soone to personally go to the little boy’s house to fetch her mother and provide her with the best treatnt..
