Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Did Mom Have a Car Accident?

The teacher from the early education institution dialed He Tong’s phone number several times, but still, no one answered.

"Teacher, do you have Bai Niangyu’s dad’s phone number?"

Xiao Fei asked.

However, the other person shook their head.

"At the time, we only kept Little Yu’s mom’s phone number and didn’t save her dad’s."

Seeing a group of adults discussing matters related to her, Bai Niangyu sensibly lifted her head and said to Xiao Fei, "Uncle, you can leave first, don’t worry about me. I can wait here for Mom by myself, it’s no problem."

Tang Yuxin squatted down in front of Bai Niangyu, patted her head, and smiled, "It’s okay, Uncle and Auntie really like Little Yu. It’s no trouble at all."

At that moment, the teacher’s phone suddenly rang.

"Is this Teacher Yang!?"

As soon as the call was answered, a hurried male voice came through.

"Yes, I am."

"I’m Bai Niangyu’s dad. Her mom was in an accident while picking up Little Yu earlier. She’s at the hospital now. Can I trouble you to help look after the child for a bit? I’ll come pick her up shortly..."

Standing nearby, Xiao Fei, being closer, faintly caught Bai Zheyan’s voice.

He spoke up suddenly, "Can you pass me the phone so I can speak to him for a moment?"

The teacher, already shaken upon hearing about Bai Niangyu’s mom’s accident, handed the phone to Xiao Fei without much thought.

"Brother Bai, it’s me, Xiao Fei."

"Xiao...Brother Xiao, you’re here too!?"

"Yeah, we brought the kids here for class today. Little Yu is with us now..."

He walked to one side, distancing himself from Bai Niangyu and the three other kids, then softly asked, "What happened to Little Yu’s mom?"

"She got hit by a car on the way to pick up our child. I don’t know how serious it is. The traffic police just notified me, saying she’s been sent to the hospital. I’m driving to the hospital right now to check things out before coming to pick up Little Yu."

Bai Zheyan’s words came out quickly, his anxiety evident.

"I see. How about we take care of Little Yu for now? By the way, which hospital is Little Yu’s mom in?"

"The People’s Hospital! Brother Xiao, thank you! I’ll leave Little Yu to you for now!"

"Don’t worry about it. Just inform the teacher about this."

Xiao Fei walked back to hand the phone to the teacher.

A while later, the teacher put down the phone and said to Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin:

"Since Little Yu’s dad agreed, we’ll allow you to take the child for now."

Aiming to hide any unease, she bent down to face Little Yu, held her hand, and smiled brightly, "Little Yu behaved so wonderfully today, you were absolutely amazing!"

Taking Little Yu with them, Xiao Fei drove toward their home.

Along the way, Little Yu’s mood remained subdued.

The babies babbled in an attempt to comfort her, and only when they arrived at Xiao Fei’s home did Little Yu seem slightly happier.

With the company of the babies, Little Yu gradually began to open up and play along.

However, unlike the carefree children, Tang Yuxin and Xiao Fei couldn’t stop thinking about Little Yu’s mom.

"Honey, do you think we should go check on her?"

In the kitchen, Tang Yuxin asked Xiao Fei, who was cooking.

"Let’s wait for now and see how things unfold."

Xiao Fei didn’t give a definitive answer right away.

Before leaving the early education center, Xiao Fei had asked the teacher for Bai Zheyan’s number and exchanged contact details with him.

A while later—

"Kids, it’s dinnertime!"

"Oooh~"

The four little ones scurried out of the room, each obediently running to wash their hands before sitting at the table.

"Uncle, Auntie, when are my mom and dad coming to pick me up?"

At the dinner table, Little Yu suddenly asked.

"Little Yu, just wait a bit longer. Your mom and dad will be back in no time."

"Mm~"

Upon hearing that, Little Yu obediently refrained from asking further questions.

After dinner, Xiao Fei received a call from Bai Zheyan.

"Brother Xiao, I might need to trouble you with something..."

"Go ahead, what is it?"

"It’s about Little Yu. Could I ask you to look after her for tonight? About her mom..."

"What happened to Little Yu’s mom?"

"It’s quite serious. She’s still in surgery; it hasn’t finished yet. I have to stay at the hospital to care for her tonight. I’ve already taken leave from work... Her mom..."

As Bai Zheyan spoke, his voice choked up.

Clearly, He Tong’s injuries seemed grave.

"Don’t worry, Brother Bai. Little Yu’s mom will surely be okay. You can trust us to take care of the child for as long as you need.

Our kids really love Little Yu.

Oh, about this situation..."

"Please don’t tell Little Yu yet. Just say her mom and I had something urgent come up."

"Alright..."

The two men spoke briefly before Bai Zheyan rushed to end the call.

Xiao Fei sighed softly, only to feel someone hugging him from behind.

"Honey..."

Tang Yuxin rested her face against Xiao Fei’s back, her tone melancholic.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing... Is He Tong’s situation bad?"

"According to Zheyan, it seems pretty grim."

Tang Yuxin sighed deeply.

Xiao Fei pulled her close into his arms, and Tang Yuxin naturally leaned against him.

"Honey, I suddenly feel that life is truly unpredictable. You never know when something might happen..."

"This was just an accident. Don’t worry, Little Yu’s mom will be fine."

Tang Yuxin’s mood remained low.

"Honey, do you think someday I might..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Fei kissed her directly, interrupting her.

Moments later, Xiao Fei released Tang Yuxin and said, "Don’t say such things. I’ll protect you, always. Nothing will ever happen to you."

Xiao Fei’s tone carried unprecedented resolve.

After a brief moment of intimacy, Xiao Fei turned and walked into the room.

At that moment, the babies were playing games with Little Yu.

Upon noticing Xiao Fei, Little Yu lifted her head first: "Uncle, have my mom and dad come to pick me up?"

Xiao Fei gave her a gentle smile and said, "Little Yu, your mom and dad have something urgent to take care of these next few days. You’ll stay at Uncle’s house and play for a while, okay?"

"Eh...?"

The little girl was visibly stunned by this news.

After a pause, her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Are Daddy... Mommy... abandoning me?"

As she spoke, tears began streaming down her face.

Xiao Fei quickly stepped forward, picked up Little Yu, and softly patted her back, saying, "Not at all. Your mom and dad love you very much. They’re preparing a surprise gift for you, which takes a few days. That’s why they’re letting you play at Uncle’s house for now."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Little Yu asked with a sob.

"Really..."

The little girl nodded, buried her head in Xiao Fei’s chest, and remained quiet.
