Wen Ran’s pupils suddenly widened–

Her first reaction was to get Bai Xiaoxiao out of the way.

She cried out, “Xiaoxiao, quickly…”

Before she could say the word ‘run’, she was suddenly pushed aside by a strong force, falling on the cold, hard road, while the SUV was heading straight for the defenseless Bai Xiaoxiao.

What Wen Ran saw next was Bai Xiaoxiao being hit and sent flying. Her slender body drew a beautiful arc in the air before falling heavily. The bag she had been holding crashed onto the road, breaking into pieces.

“Xiaoxiao!”

The sound that Wen Ran cried didn’t even sound like herself.

As she watched Bai Xiaoxiao fall from mid-air, her mind went blank, and the sound that burst from her mouth was purely instinctive.

“There’s been a car accident, there’s been a car accident!”

People from afar began to gather. Some kind-hearted individuals immediately dialed emergency services.

Wen Ran rushed to Bai Xiaoxiao’s side, her blurred vision capturing the sight of blood overflowing from the corners of Bai Xiaoxiao’s mouth. Blood was also flowing from her head…

Overwhelmed with fear, tears streamed down her face continuously. She took out her mobile phone to make a call while yelling, “Xiaoxiao, wake up, Xiaoxiao….”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Young lady, your friend is seriously injured, she needs to be sent to the hospital immediately.”

“We can’t move her carelessly right now, let’s wait for the ambulance!”

Various murmurs could be heard in the surrounding crowd.

After two rings, the call connected. On the other end of the line was Gu Kai. Wen Ran shouted anxiously into the phone, “Older Brother Gu, Xiaoxiao was in a car accident. You need to come quickly…”

“Ranran, don’t panic. Firstly, where are you?”

“…in the city center…”

Seeing she had a hard time forming her words,

a good Samaritan nearby volunteered their location. Gu Kai’s comforting voice immediately returned to her ear, “Ranran, listen to me. I’m rushing over right now. Don’t be afraid, Bai Xiaoxiao is going to be fine.”

“Okay!”

Wen Ran nodded heavily.

She took a piece of paper from her pocket to wipe the blood from Bai Xiaoxiao’s mouth, then raised her head to ask the surrounding crowd if they had any items to stop the bleeding. She wanted to stop Bai Xiaoxiao’s bleeding with them.

“Miss, I’ll go get it for you.”

The man speaking was the owner of a nearby pharmacy. Within two minutes, he returned with hemostatic drugs and bandages.

Wen Ran took deep breaths as she watched the crimson blood continuously spill from Bai Xiaoxiao. Her fear was like a black hole that kept growing, consuming her whole. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the man who had given her the hemostatic drugs and asked with a sob, “Brother, can you help me get my friend to the hospital?”

“Well…”

“The ambulance might be a while. Brother, can you help me? My friend is seriously injured. If we’re any later, I’m afraid…”

“Alright, let’s hurry up. I’ll get you to the hospital, and we can transfer to the ambulance if we meet it on the way.”

The man was kind-hearted and seeing Wen Ran crying so tragically moved him, so he agreed to take them.

“Here comes the ambulance.”

As the man reversed his car to leave, an ambulance was already making its way from the distance. The hospital closest to their location wasn’t Gu Kai’s Kangning Hospital, but the People’s Hospital.

Perhaps someone had called for emergency services earlier, and the ambulance rushed over at the soonest.

Bai Xiaoxiao was lifted onto the ambulance, and Wen Ran hopped on too. Medical staff immediately began bleeding control and first aid for Bai Xiaoxiao.

A few minutes later, Wen Ran’s phone rang. It was Gu Kai calling. Wen Ran informed him that they were on their way to the People’s Hospital.

Gu Kai told her not to worry, and that he would rush there immediately.

Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen arrived together. Following behind them were Bai Xiaoxiao’s parents. When Wen Ran called Mother Bai, Mr. Bai had just returned home.

Mo Xiuchen was the first to rush up to Wen Ran. His deep gaze quickly took in her condition. When his eyes fell on the abrasion on her left cheek, he called out with concern, “Ranran!”

“Ranran, what happened? How did Xiaoxiao get in a car accident?”

Mother Bai’s eyes were already red from crying, and she looked at Wen Ran questioningly.

“President Bai, Mrs. Bai, I called the police immediately. The police will be arriving soon. Right now, it’s not about investigating what happened, but Miss Bai’s well-being. I’m going to check on her in the operating room. You two, please calm down.”

Gu Kai spoke calmly. After finishing, his worried gaze fell on Wen Ran, and he exchanged a glance with Mo Xiuchen before following a nurse into the operating room.

“Doctor Gu is right. Don’t worry yet. Ranran isn’t in a position to explain everything right now. Once the police arrive, we’ll know the details.”

Mr. Bai was ultimately a businessman and, despite being equally anxious inside, he calmly comforted his wife.

Mother Bai wiped away her tears and looked at Wen Ran. She said to Mo Xiuchen, “Mo General, Ranran’s face is injured. Take her to get it sterilized first. Xiaoxiao’s surgery won’t be over anytime soon….”

“Okay!”

Mo Xiuchen nodded at President Bai and Mrs. Bai and then took Wen Ran downstairs to another room to sterilize her wound.

Even though her hand was tightly wrapped in his large palm, Wen Ran’s hand was still icy and cold.

Her face was so pale it was colorless, and her eyes were somewhat dazed. Seeing her in such a state caused Mo Xiuchen’s heart to ache.

He settled Wen Ran into a sofa and crouched in front of her, holding her icy hands in his, his gaze tender as he looked into her swollen, tearful eyes.

“Ranran, don’t be afraid. With Ah Kai here, Bai Xiaoxiao will be all right.”

Just as he said this, tears began to flow from Wen Ran’s eyes again, and her body began to tremble slightly. She stuttered, “It’s because of me. If Xiaoxiao hadn’t pushed me away, she wouldn’t have been hit.”

Just three months ago, she had experienced a horrific car accident where she had watched as her parents were engulfed in flames along with the car…

She was hypersensitive to car accidents compared to ordinary people, but just half an hour ago, she had experienced yet another one.

She would rather have been the one who was hit, not her best friend. How she wished Xiaoxiao had been a bit more selfish and run away instead of choosing to push her aside.

If anything happened to Xiaoxiao, she would never forgive herself.

Mo Xiuchen paused, not expecting that Bai Xiaoxiao had pushed Wen Ran away and that was why she had been hit.

The grip he had on Wen Ran’s hand tightened slightly. He raised his other hand to wipe her tears, repeating over and over, “Ranran, you can’t blame yourself. Bai Xiaoxiao is your best friend. Her pushing you away in a crisis was a natural reaction. If it had been you, you would have done the same thing.”

Wen Ran shook her head vehemently, “But I wasn’t fast enough. Xiaoxiao was hurt because of me.”

She had wanted to pull Bai Xiaoxiao and run away at the first possible moment.

But she didn’t have the time. She couldn’t even turn around in time. All she could do was cry out “Xiaoxiao, run,” before Xiaoxiao pushed her away.

Xiaoxiao had no enemies. The car had targeted her!
