After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me
Chapter 114 - 110: It’s Not Her

Chapter 114: Chapter 110: It’s Not Her

She answered on the second ring.

"Hello, what is it...."

Before she could finish, a man’s icy voice came from the other end, "Where are you?"

"Ah, I... I just got off work on Qingping Road, what’s up?"

"Come to the hospital immediately, my mother wants to see you. Tang Xi, we’re not divorced yet. No matter what, my mother has been good to you. How can you completely ignore her and not visit? Don’t you think you’re going too far!"

"I understand, I’ll head over now."

After saying this, Tang Xi felt a heavy block in her heart.

This man was indeed domineering and authoritarian, always commanding in tone. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to visit Aunt Qin; if she did go, he would say she was pretending to be pitiful in front of Aunt Qin...

Suddenly, there was a sharp screech of brakes.

Everyone on the bus was caught off guard and lurched forward.

Tang Xi’s phone fell to the ground.

From the other end came the man’s voice, "Hey, Tang Xi, speak!"

As she was about to bend down to pick it up, panicked voices from ahead cried out, "There’s been an accident, there’s been an accident!! Help, quickly call 120!"

Tang Xi was sitting at the back of the crowded rush-hour bus, not immediately aware of what had happened at the front. She stood on tiptoes for a better look and saw an accident involving two cars colliding in front. It was why the driver had braked, to avoid the accident ahead.

Forgetting everything else, she hastily got off the bus and saw the horrific scene upfront, two cars had slid forward about six or seven meters, injuring several innocent pedestrians.

Someone had already called 120, and a passing medical doctor, a middle-aged man, came to help. Tang Xi immediately approached him, "I’m a resident in thoracic surgery at the First Hospital, let me know how I can assist."

The male doctor glanced at Tang Xi, "This young girl and her mother are trapped in the car, the mother’s situation is critical, I’ll first pry open the car to get the girl out."

Several bystanders also came to help, and together, they finally managed to extract the girl.

The four- or five-year-old girl cried out for her mother while Tang Xi held the girl. Inside the car, the mother’s breath was faint, "Youyou... Youyou..."

At that moment, without any emergency medicine available, Tang Xi took off her coat to press against the woman’s injured head, but it was clear that the woman was not going to make it... Tang Xi said, "Your daughter is fine, hang in there, the ambulance will arrive soon."

Hearing that her daughter was alright, a faint light appeared in the woman’s eyes, "My husband he..."

Tang Xi glanced at the driver’s seat, where the man sitting there showed no signs of life.

The woman and her daughter were sitting in the back, and during the accident, the seats twisted trapping the woman’s legs; her daughter was tightly held in her arms, which is why she was unharmed.

The woman seemed to guess that her husband was no longer alive.

Finally, she took one last look at her crying daughter and slowly closed her eyes.

This wasn’t Tang Xi’s first close contact with death, but this time, hearing the cries of the girl calling for her mother, her heart felt especially torn.

She held the girl, who cried in her arms.

Until she cried herself unconscious.

The emergency care vehicle arrived, and took several injured patients aboard; Tang Xi also brought the girl into the hospital for a thorough examination.

-

Tang Xi’s phone was left under the bus seat.

Fu Tingzhou made several calls, but they all went unanswered.

Before the woman hung up the call, she faintly heard hurried noises inside, and someone shouting, "Car accident!"

He frowned and immediately drove towards Qingping Road.

From inside the car, a mechanical broadcast voice announced, "Breaking news: A car accident occurred on Qingping Road, resulting in two fatalities and several injuries. Currently, ambulances have arrived to provide treatment. We hope for their safety."

Fu Tingzhou’s pupils trembled.

His lips turned a few shades paler.

He floored the accelerator, arriving at Qingping Road. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Tang Xi’s number six or seven times, but couldn’t get through. His fingers trembled as he observed the horrific scene of the accident before him.

Two private cars had collided, traces of tire friction on the ground, traffic police and police had drawn a dividing line, overturned cars, blood scattered on the ground....

"So tragic, it’s said that a couple died before the doctor could arrive..."

"Those waiting for the bus at roadside are even more pitiful, several pedestrians got hit and were thrown several meters..."

"A young woman was directly thrown seven or eight meters away, landing face down, probably not going to make it...."

"That girl kept calling for her mom, but both her parents are gone, this car accident is really horrifying...."

Fu Tingzhou grabbed a passerby and roared, "Where are the people, where have they been taken?"

He knew that Tang Xi, that woman, usually wouldn’t spend money on taxis, always taking buses or subways, and right now it happened next to the bus station on Qingping Road. The blood on the ground made him feel dizzy.

Listening to a passerby, "They were all sent to the Second Hospital..."

He quickly reached the Second Hospital, asking several nurses.

"In the emergency room, all the accident victims were brought here."

The emergency room was overrun with people.

People were crying out their relatives’ names, some knelt on the ground praying to gods for blessings, with fresh blood dripping onto the white porcelain floor tiles, looking strikingly glaring.

Fu Tingzhou grabbed a nurse, even though his face appeared calm, his voice carried a tremble of fear not to be ignored, "Was there a young female brought in, long hair, very thin, about this tall... named Tang Xi...."

"So many patients have been brought in, there was a young female, I don’t know her name, she just passed away, a pitiable young girl, was waiting for a bus when she got hit and her neck was directly broken, she’s inside, family hasn’t been contacted yet, are you her relative? Hurry over."

Fu Tingzhou walked to the bedside, looking at the person covered with a white cloth.

Surrounded by noisy footsteps, this place, however, seemed exceptionally quiet, so quiet that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

So fast, he could hardly control himself at all.

The person lying on the bed seemed to have stopped, a layer of white cloth, stained with blood, no signs of breathing.

He stood in place, a surge of indescribable nausea rose in his throat, a prickling pain spread inside his chest, Fu Tingzhou stared at the blood on the white cloth, reached out his hand, wanted to pull back the cloth, but he found that he didn’t even have the strength to reach out.

Breathing started to become difficult.

Fu Tingzhou’s hand clenched into a fist, tightly, then released.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to control the emotions that threatened to crumble, and pulled back the layer of white cloth.

When he saw the person lying inside, at that instant—

His heart suddenly felt a great relief.

The whole person also staggered back two steps.

It wasn’t her.
