After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

The hospital corridor was filled with the mixed smell of disinfectant. The air conditioning was just right, but it made An Ning shiver all over, with waves of coldness washing over her.

The operating room doors were closed, but the lights were on, and a resuscitation operation was underway inside.

Just twenty minutes earlier, Anning received a call saying that Li Chunfang had been in an accident and was being treated at the hospital.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and before she could think of anything, she got in the car and changed her destination to the hospital.

As soon as we entered the hospital entrance, the little hand that was tightly clenched in hers twitched, and she asked, "Mommy, weren't we going to find Daddy? Why are we at the hospital?"

Anning's voice grew heavy as she said, "Grandma is sick, we've come to see her."

"Does Grandma have a cold and fever? Does she need medicine or injections?" Xiao Anxian asked her anxiously as she was taken into the hospital.

"Yes, Grandma has a fever and needs an injection now." Anning's voice trembled as she said this.

She was still in a panic when she stood in front of the operating room door.

Little Anxian pointed to the closed operating room door, "Mommy, is Grandma inside?"

An Ning had no idea what the operating room looked like at that moment. She still had to pay the fees and find out what was going on, so she didn't have the energy to think about An Xuan.

She called Zhao Li and asked her to take An Xian back.

Before leaving, Anxian stared at the closed operating room doors and asked her, "Mom, when will Grandma be better?"

"It will be alright soon." An Ning tried to keep her voice steady, comforting him and herself.

"Can we still celebrate Dad's birthday today?" Xiao Anxian pursed his lips, wanting to ask if he would ever see his father again.

An Ning was suddenly startled. Yes, today is Lu Xiyan's birthday.

We had agreed to have dinner together.

We agreed to meet each other's parents.

She looked at the closed operating room door, her eyes slightly moist.

"Xianxian, let's celebrate Daddy's birthday another day." She reached out and ruffled Xiao Anxian's hair. Her mind was in turmoil, a complete mess.

It wasn't until An Xian was picked up by Zhao Li and sat down on a cold chair in the corridor that she came back to her senses.

Li Chunfang was in a car accident and is still in the hospital receiving emergency treatment.

The doctor said the situation was very dangerous.

She clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost breaking the skin between her thumb and forefinger.

How did the car accident happen?

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, growing louder as they approached.

She subconsciously looked up and instantly felt as if she had found a piece of driftwood in the deep sea; all her unease and fear surged up at the same time.

"peaceful."

Lu Xiyan walked over quickly and was hugged tightly by An Ning as she stood up.

"Western Banquet..."

Anning's anxiety finally found an outlet; her voice trembled, "My mother was in a car accident and is still in critical condition..."

She was terrified, afraid of losing it again.

Her biological mother didn't want her, and her parents from the Jiang family had also passed away, leaving her with only Li Chunfang as her mother.

She finally re-established her mother-daughter relationship with Li Chunfang, and she finally felt the joy of being loved by her mother again.

She wished this peaceful happiness could last forever.

She feared that even this small wish was a luxury.

Lu Xiyan's car was already on its way to Pangu Mansion, but after receiving her call, it immediately turned around and came to the hospital.

It wasn't until he held her in his arms and felt her trembling body that he realized how terrified she was.

"fine......"

He gently patted her back. "It'll be alright. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Don't be afraid, it will be alright." Lu Xiyan turned his head to kiss her hair, gently comforting her again and again, "The hospital will do everything they can to save her."

At that moment, several police officers appeared in the corridor.

"Are they family members?"

An Ning got out of Lu Xiyan's arms and looked over. There were police officers and traffic police.

She spoke up, "I am her daughter."

The police officers nodded slightly when they saw Lu Xiyan.

A traffic policeman stepped forward and said, "The accident happened on Jinyang Avenue near the suburbs. It's a newly built road, and currently only traffic lights have been installed. There haven't been any surveillance cameras yet. Many vehicles disregard traffic rules and run red lights. Your mother was hit by a car that ran a red light."

"According to our on-site investigation, the vehicle that caused the accident did not slow down when it saw the pedestrian, and knocked your mother more than ten meters away, where her head hit the guardrail."

An Ning nearly lost her balance upon hearing this.

She only knew that Li Chunfang was seriously injured, but she didn't expect that hearing the specific details would be so hard to accept, as if her heart was being scraped piece by piece.

Lu Xiyan put his arm around her shoulder to keep her from collapsing.

He asked in a low voice, "Has the driver who caused the accident been caught?"

"The driver who caused the accident has fled the scene, Mr. Lu. Don't worry, we have already joined forces with the police to track him down."

As soon as the traffic police finished speaking, a police officer standing nearby approached An Ning with a notebook in hand. "Ms. An, we have a few questions for you regarding your mother's car accident."

An Ning's face turned pale, and she nodded.

"Does your mother usually have any enemies?"

An Ning thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."

Li Chunfang has been living with her ever since she was discharged from the hospital after her surgery. Many people from the same village have moved away, and she doesn't have many friends. She basically stays at home taking care of Anxian, or going grocery shopping and taking walks.

Moreover, An Tianhua is dead, and An Ning had already paid off his gambling debts before, so no one was pressing him for repayment.

She suddenly looked at the police officer and said, "Do you think my mother's car accident wasn't an accident, but was intentional?"

As the officer took notes, he said, "This is just our preliminary deduction; it's too early to draw conclusions."

"Did you find anything?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"According to the information currently available in the investigation, the vehicle involved in the accident was an abandoned vehicle with no owner information and no fingerprints on it."

Anning understood what the police officer meant.

It was intentional!

The car accident was intentional!

Her legs were so weak she could barely stand.

Who is it? Who's messing with her mother?

"This is no longer a simple traffic accident." Lu Xiyan looked at the police officer in front of him with a cold expression, glanced at the officer's badge, and said, "Officer Li, please investigate this matter as soon as possible and catch the perpetrator."

The other person closed the laptop. "Mr. Lu, rest assured, this is our duty."

......

"Sister Cao, didn't you take the day off? Why are you back?"

Inside the Cheng Mansion, Cao Han had just entered the gate when she ran into Xiao Jiang, who was pruning the flowers and plants. She greeted her with a smile.

"Oh, I've finished something." Cao Han smiled and quickly went into the house.

Xiao Jiang shook her head in confusion, "How can there be someone who loves to work but doesn't like to take holidays? They never take a break or ask for leave, and now that they finally get a day off, they're back. If you didn't know better, you'd think this was their home."

Cao Han walked quickly through the lobby with his head down, then through the back garden. The servants' rooms were in another building next to the back garden.

In the backyard, Cheng Wanwan was playing frisbee with her pet dog.

She smiled sweetly when she saw Cao Han.

"Aunt Cao!"

She rushed over, smiling sweetly and obediently, "Aunt Cao, I missed you so much after not seeing you for a while."
