Scared Girl

Chapter 7 Scared Girl

"Mama!" the girl was the first to react when she saw her mother fall.

She immediately ran towards her, kneeling, and cried while shaking Seline's body.

Despite having a young age, Stella understood instantly that her mother was suffering.

The crowd nearby was shocked by the sudden scream.

They were wondering what was happening to the woman. Some people even thought the sudden light had injured her.

But they quickly denied it since only the woman alone was in pain.

Everyone was still stunned and unable to react. They watched her struggling on the ground, trying to shake off the pain.

The incident happened too suddenly. Previously, they still had not yet recovered from blinding light confusion. When suddenly a scream was heard, they were petrified and unable to think through for a while.

"Mama...sob....mama...what happened?...sob....does it hurt?....grandma, uncle, please help my mama." the little girl's sobbing voice awakened all nearby people.

They quickly reacted and tried to help the mother of the child.

"It's okay. It's alright. Let Uncle check your Mama first. Don't cry, okay?" the old lady quickly hugs her and tries to coax the struggling girl.

She repeatedly assured the little girl while letting her son check Seline's condition.

She was also confused. She only reacted after hearing the girl's crying.

Two middle-aged women sitting nearby tried to help the mother, assisting the old lady's son. In this situation, it is necessary to keep the patient under control and prevent her from struggling frantically to avoid accidentally injuring herself.

Sometimes, people in intense pain could unconsciously injure or scratch themselves to divert the body and mind from the pain. Some could accidentally bite their tongue when enduring the pain.

Should this happen, it would not alleviate the injury but aggravate the situation.

So the three of them carefully controlled the mother and put a tree branch they found in her mouth while other people started to take action.

A person immediately called the ambulance, while some hurried inside to call for help, while others were standing by to assist at any time if needed. Some girls came to the Granma Ann and helped her coax the little girl.

Soon, a doctor and a nurse came hurriedly to the location.

They are part of a group of doctors and nurses hired by the community to stand by in case of emergency.

As a first-class community, there were always doctors or physicians standing by. In ordinary times, they attended the community's health center and provided clinical service. But when the need arises, they can be called immediately.

After tossing for a while, Seline finally fainted from the pain.

In the moment before losing consciousness, she kept worrying about what would happen to Stella if she was gone. Even before falling into darkness, she kept forcing herself to remain conscious, thinking of taking Stella to a safe place.

Seeing the woman fainted, the surroundings became turmoiled.

Fortunately, the health center was not far away, located in the southern region of the shopping complex.

Occupying the first and second floors, it has both an emergency ward and an outpatient ward. Strategically located near the exit, the elevator, the escalator, and the emergency staircase, the health center was easily accessible from everywhere in the building.

The doctor on duty came over to check the mother's situation. After confirming that there was no immediate danger to her life, he quickly assured the crowd and asked them to take the patient to the health center first.

"It's okay. Don't worry. She just fainted. Let's take her to the emergency ward first for a checkup. After the ambulance comes, we will send her to the hospital for a more comprehensive diagnosis," the doctor tries to calm the crowd and the crying girl.

With the help of a stretcher that the nurse brought together, he asked two strong men to help and bring Seline to the ward, waiting for the ambulance.

While the infirmary was equipped for emergency treatment, it does not compare to the hospital. It was imperative to send her to the hospital for a follow-up checkup.

Moreover, after an initial inspection, the doctor determined no external injuries could be found. He suspected her pain and fainting were probably due to internal injury or concussion when falling to the ground.

However, this diagnosis was just his preliminary conjecture based on similar symptoms he observed.

Without the proper equipment to test and scan her body condition, there was limited thing he could do to help. It is better to send her to the hospital, where she could receive a better treatment plan.

"Sob...sob...I want my Papa. Grandma, Mama is sick. I'm scared. I want my Papa," at this moment, the little girl is making a scene, crying for her father, Lu Yang.

She was too scared when she saw her mother suddenly scream and collapse. Seeing her mother in pain, no one knows how panicky she was.

"Okay. Don't worry. Isn't Grandma Ann here? I'll let them call Papa immediately, okay? Don't worry," Grandma Ann kept hugging and coaxing her.

She felt heartache when she saw how miserable the little girl was crying. Seeing such a sensible and active girl, who had always cheerfully called her grandma with a smile, crying so sadly, she couldn't help but feel distressed for her.

How could she leave Stella alone at this time? She immediately accompanied her to the health center while asking the nurse for help to call the girl's father.

As an elderly, Grandma Ann is quite well-known among the people there. Her gentle and temperate attitude earned her respect and awe from the younger generation. So, the nurse quickly recognized her.

The old lady seemed somewhat familiar with the mother and daughter's family. Because of this, the nurse was more polite and quickly looked up the girl's contact information.

Using the residential information given by the old lady, she skillfully found the girl's family information from the saved database.

As part of the community's administrative and management group, the health center has access to the Astra RC management server. This is to facilitate the doctors and nurses there to quickly provide a timely response and care whenever an emergency arises.

After obtaining the relevant information, the nurse quickly contacted Stella's father.

-

In a business district not far from the Astra RC, high-rise office buildings neatly built could be seen everywhere. As a business district, it accommodates various offices and headquarters from companies across the region.

Several modern-looking towers near the district's center greatly reflected its owners' and tenants' corporate image and proud identity. These were home to the regional headquarters of several multinational companies.

Thanks to the city's strategic location and preferential policy from the provincial government, these companies used the city as their base to enter the region's market.

At this moment, in one of the towers, Lu Yang had been attending a meeting with the client since early morning. It was an unplanned meeting due to the clients' sudden schedule change.

Because of this, Lu Yang had to break his promise to his daughter. He had promised to take her to the nearby lake park to see the fish and the swan.

The meeting had been going on for several hours. After taking a tea break in between, the meeting was expected to continue until evening. It is an important meeting to discuss the client's project requirements and demands.

Sometimes, these types of meetings could even take several days or weeks before finalizing. Along with the fact that the client this time was a prominent company from outside the city, any chance to meet was precious as they needed to accommodate the client's strict schedule for appointments otherwise.

That's why Lu Yang could not avoid this meeting.

During the meeting, when the time was nearing noon, a sudden bright and blinding light appeared out of nowhere. The intense light was so sudden that those in the meeting room thought it was an explosion.

Fortunately, it was not.

After recovering from the surprise, they looked at each other. At that moment, they heard Lu Yang scream in pain!

His colleague beside him quickly responded to help Lu Yang, while his boss immediately called the security personnel while his secretary called for an ambulance.

After seeing their young master's hint, several assistants from the client delegacy quickly volunteered to check Lu Yang's condition. As a bodyguard, he was trained in emergency aid and treatment.

For this meeting, the client's delegation was represented by their young master. Thus, among his entourage, his bodyguards and secretaries, trained in various fields, also followed along.

However, after checking Lu Yang for a while, they could not find out why Lu Yang was in pain.

Lu Yang was sitting on his chair when he screamed in pain. He only fell after being unable to bear the pain in his head. Thus, preliminary assumption injury due to concussion could be ruled out.

A situation where a healthy person, sitting and talking like any other, bewilderedly suffering from headaches and pains, was weird. Without receiving any external stimulus, catalyst, or injury, it could not explain the cause of his ache.

The only possibility that came to mind was being stimulated by the blinding light just now. However, only Lu Yang was wriggling in pain, which should not be justified.

Regardless, Lu Yang needed to be brought to the hospital immediately for an emergency checkup.

Amid the chaos, none of them had noticed that Lu Yang, who was in pain and struggling to remain conscious, had bright eyes shining with joy. It was as if the one in pain was not him!

And his mouth keeps mumbling in whispers, inaudible to anyone around, "I'm back! I'm back! Sob...sob...I'm back!"
