Chapter 897: Chapter 866: Accident, Rescue

Grandma Wang coaxed the three children to sleep before coming out to persuade He Tiantian to come inside.

Even if something happened, He Tiantian couldn’t afford to allow anything to happen to herself, otherwise, if both adults ran into trouble, what would become of the three little ones?

"Tiantian, don’t panic," Grandma Wang said. "Come inside first. Standing out here in the cold won’t help matters. Let’s just wait at home in peace."

He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Wang, you stay home and keep an eye on things. I’ll drive over and see what’s going on."

"Tiantian, it’s snowing so heavily outside, and the roads are slippery. You’d better stay at home," Grandma Wang urged. "You’re not in the right frame of mind right now; driving isn’t safe. What if Yingjie is fine but you have an accident first, throwing everything into disarray?"

He Tiantian looked out at the heavy snowflakes and the thick blanket of snow on the ground.

Yes, driving in her current state would be very dangerous!

She couldn’t let her emotions get the better of her!

He Tiantian kept reminding herself!

"Grandma Wang, I understand. I won’t go out; I’ll just wait at home," He Tiantian said, showing her worry but still maintaining her rationality.

She had already prepared for the worst. Even if something went wrong at home, with the elderly above and the young below, she couldn’t fall.

"That’s good," Grandma Wang nodded. "Go warm yourself inside. I’ll make some ginger soup to warm you up."

He Tiantian declined, "Grandma Wang, it’s late. You should go back to your room to rest. The kids are asleep, I can make the ginger soup myself. I’ll cook extra so they can have a bowl when they arrive, too."

"Alright then," Grandma Wang agreed, seeing that He Tiantian had something to do, and didn’t say more before returning to her room.

At her age, she couldn’t stay up all night.

As He Tiantian prepared the ginger soup, she watched the flurry of snow outside, her heart filled with unease······

"Madam, Madam······" Little Rotating Turtle returned. "There’s been an accident; the master was injured and has just regained consciousness. Zhou Yuanchao got seriously injured while saving the master and is undergoing emergency treatment. They need you to bring a few Life Revival Pills."

The ginger soup in He Tiantian’s hand spilled onto the ground, spreading everywhere.

On hearing the noise, Grandma Wang quickly came out and asked, "Tiantian, what happened?"

Since Grandma Wang couldn’t see Little Rotating Turtle, He Tiantian had to come up with another reason.

"Grandma Wang, go to my room and watch the kids for me. I must go out," He Tiantian said, ready to dash outside.

Grandma Wang replied with concern, "Even if you have to go out, put on something thick!"

"Oh, right!" He Tiantian found a thick down coat and put it on before heading out.

"Drive slowly and be careful!" Grandma Wang advised, her worry evident.

Knowing she couldn’t be of help with the situation outside, Grandma Wang’s only choice was to stay home and look after the children.

He Tiantian went to the garage to take the car, then asked, "The pills are all in the space near my ankle, but I don’t know which one is the Life Revival Pill?"

He Tiantian took out several bottles of medicine all at once, telling Little Rotating Turtle to start looking.

Little Rotating Turtle was somewhat speechless, but it was normal for the madam to not remember since she didn’t have the memories from Ancient Times.

"It’s in the green bottle, the green pills," Little Rotating Turtle explained. "Madam, don’t panic. The master has woken up and is out of danger, with his mind clear. Zhou Yuanchao is undergoing emergency treatment. Drive carefully; we are going straight to the hospital."

"Okay," He Tiantian took a few deep breaths to steady her emotions.

To get the medicine to the hospital as quickly as possible, He Tiantian drove faster than usual. Fortunately, with Little Rotating Turtle reminding her of the vehicles ahead, she had a navigator by her side.

It was quite convenient.

Upon arriving at the hospital, He Tiantian parked the car to one side, grabbed the pills, and ran inside.

Word spread that she was a family member of the lab accident victim, and a nurse came personally to take He Tiantian upstairs.

At the emergency room entrance, Huo Yingjie sat on a chair, leaning on crutches, while Wang Ying stood opposite him, weeping silently.

"How is it going?" He Tiantian ran over quickly, her voice laced with worry.

Upon seeing He Tiantian, Wang Ying hugged her tightly, crying loudly, but fearing her sobs were too loud, she could only bury her head on He Tiantian’s shoulder and weep.

In this way, her crying wasn’t so loud anymore.

He Tiantian slowly patted Wang Ying’s back, saying, "It’s going to be okay, Yuan Chao is a good person, and the heavens protect the kind. The gods will look after him."

Overwhelmed by emotion, Wang Ying’s sobbing grew more intense, to the point of nearly fainting.

Seeing this, Huo Yingjie tapped the back of Wang Ying’s neck, and she passed out.

Wang Ying was too emotionally charged, and being conscious might have been even worse for her.

"Tiantian, let her lie down flat on the bench," Huo Yingjie reminded her, his leg was fractured and in a cast.

"Okay!" He Tiantian set aside her concern for Huo Yingjie and hurriedly laid Wang Ying out on the bench.

"Did you bring the Life Revival Pill?" Huo Yingjie asked, "The doctor will be out soon, and I want to personally give it to Yuan Chao."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "I brought it, but your leg..."

"I’m fine, a month or two of rest and I’ll be recovered," Huo Yingjie said. "If we don’t give Yuan Chao the Life Revival Pill soon, he... he won’t make it..."

The resuscitation ended, and the doctor came out.

"Family can go in and say a few words..." The doctor’s face was filled with sorrow. Such a pity for a young researcher.

Huo Yingjie nodded, "Alright, we’ll go in now. Tiantian, you wake Wang Ying up quickly outside."

Zhang Ning and Xie Wu were not far away, ready to support Huo Yingjie.

"No need, you two help wake her up quickly outside," Huo Yingjie, leaning on his crutches, entered swiftly, agile despite his injury.

The medical staff stepped aside to let the family in to talk.

Once alone, Huo Yingjie quickly cast two spells, igniting the fire on Zhou Yuanchao’s shoulder, then hurriedly took out three Life Revival Pills, lifted Zhou Yuanchao’s chin, and placed the pills in his mouth. They dissolved instantly into water and flowed into Zhou Yuanchao’s stomach.

In just a few seconds, the lamp of life above Zhou Yuanchao’s head brightened.

A chill wind blew in, causing the three flames of life to flicker unsteadily.

Huo Yingjie couldn’t intervene anymore, for if he did, the Netherworld would know someone was forcefully prolonging a life, and Zhou Yuanchao would be marked. Sooner or later, an accidental death would occur.

Luckily, Tiantian had arrived early.

As long as they could ignite the flame of life before someone from the Netherworld arrived and keep it burning, Zhou Yuanchao could live a long life.

The flame grew smaller and weaker...

Huo Yingjie was anxious, but he dared not act.

With the help of He Tiantian, Wang Ying finally woke up after her pressure point was pinched and hurried over.

"Yuanchao, wake up, please," Wang Ying cried out loudly. "We have elders and children to care for; if you leave us like this, what are we supposed to do?"

"Yuanchao, hold on, my good brother," Huo Yingjie said in a grave tone.

"Yuanchao, wake up, we’re all waiting for you..." He Tiantian sobbed, thinking of how he was still full of life that morning, yet now lay motionless on the hospital bed.

Wang Ying cried as if her heart was breaking, and He Tiantian understood her pain.

If it had been Huo Yingjie, she too would have been inconsolable, even more grief-stricken than Wang Ying!
