The medical team swiftly wheeled a stretcher over, gently hoisting Ruan Xueling into the awaiting ambulance.
Gu Yang and the others trailed behind, their hearts heavy with concern.
Though Ruan Xueling had regained consciousness, her mind still seemed clouded. She murmured, “Jin, Yangyang, Jue, you mustn’t miss the college entrance exam. Go, take the test…”
Gu Jin’s demeanor turned stern as she moved to follow the ambulance. “Your condition is critical right now.”
“Miss Gu.”
Xiao Yize hurried over, seizing her wrist and guiding her to a halt. He lowered his voice, adamant, “Listen to me. You all go ahead and take the exam. Leave this to me. I promise nothing will go wrong.”
With resolve, he closed the ambulance door and signaled for it to depart.
Gu Jin’s brow furrowed in hesitation, but she understood the urgency of the situation. Xiao Yize had made the right call; immediate medical attention was paramount.
As Ruan Xueling was loaded into the ambulance, Gu Zhaoming’s heart remained lodged in his throat. Yet, he recognized the gravity of the situation and prioritized the children’s college entrance exam. With a solemn tone, he instructed Gu Yang and the others, “Focus solely on the exam. Listen to your mother’s guidance. I’ll handle everything else.”
With that, he drove Gu Pei swiftly to the hospital.
A sudden surge of fury rippled through Gu Jin as she cast a chilling glare at the driver before launching herself forward, delivering a swift kick that sent him sprawling.
Her movement was so swift that the surrounding police officers barely had time to react.
The driver, a middle-aged man, crumpled to the ground, writhing in agony.
While the officers were taken aback by Gu Jin’s display of speed and strength, they understood the underlying emotions fuelling her actions. Though such behavior was not condoned, witnessing the events leading up to her outburst provided context.
Nonetheless, they felt compelled to intervene.
“Student, please refrain from acting impulsively.”
“The English Department requires candidates to enter the venue thirty minutes prior to the exam. You won’t be permitted to enter fifteen minutes before the test begins. Time is of the essence. Hurry and make your way to the examination hall.”
Sympathy reflected in the officers’ eyes as they observed the plight of this family with three college entrance exam candidates. Though facing such adversity before the exam was undoubtedly challenging, persevering through the test remained their best course of action.
In that moment, Lin Ran approached, brandishing his ID to negotiate with the police. Then, he turned to Gu Yang and the others. “Young Master Xiao entrusted me with this. You all focus on the exam.”
Gu Yang stepped forward, gently tugging at Gu Jin’s sleeve. “Sis, let’s head to the exam hall. We can see Mom afterward.”
Her words penetrated Gu Jin’s anger-clouded mind, prompting a somber response.
Observing the worry etched in Gu Yang’s features, Gu Jin’s demeanor softened. She reached out, ruffling her sister’s hair tenderly, her voice carrying reassurance. “Don’t worry, Mom will pull through.”
Though Ruan Xueling’s condition remained precarious, immediate medical attention would stabilize her for the time being.
With Gu Jin’s words offering solace, Gu Yang found a measure of comfort.
Feng Jue retrieved the document bag they had left behind, tossing a packet of tissues to Gu Jin. “Dry your tears.”
Meanwhile, he gently wiped away Gu Yang’s tears, offering quiet words of comfort as they made their way to the examination hall.
Despite the time constraint, the trio managed to reach the examination hall punctually.
With their impressive English proficiency and extensive vocabulary, the English college entrance exam posed little challenge to Gu Yang and her companions.
Swiftly navigating through the test, Gu Yang and the others completed their papers an hour ahead of schedule.
In previous exams, they had refrained from handing in their papers early to avoid unsettling their fellow examinees. However, consumed by worry, they disregarded this consideration.
The invigilator, after several confirmations, grasped the situation: these were the three unfortunate candidates involved in the recent car accident.
Initially taken aback, their fellow examinees soon regarded them with empathy, their expressions reflecting solidarity in the face of adversity.
