Luo Linyi's eyelids have been twitching since she learned that the old lady almost fainted on the plane. On the way to the hospital, she saw another traffic accident. The person who was knocked out of a motorcycle was like a puppet thrown in the air, unable to withstand gravity. It was shocking to watch. She touched her heart and felt that it was twitching abnormally like her eyelids. She couldn't help but ask her husband beside her anxiously: "Wenzhou, the old lady... is she okay?"

Wenzhou, who finally took time to spend time with his family after the Chinese New Year, was resting with his eyes closed. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, saying in a low voice: "Don't let your imagination run wild."

They were not a couple who fell in love freely, but they developed a deep relationship after marriage. For Luo Linyi, her daughter and husband were everything, and she was always the least important. Now, listening to his calm and powerful voice, she felt a little better.

But her heart would still beat wildly occasionally, making her feel very uncomfortable.

After arriving at the hospital and seeing the old lady, she felt relieved. However, the atmosphere in the hospital made her feel even more uncomfortable. She had the urge to leave while sitting there.

Logically speaking, she and the old lady were very close, and she should not have had such an unfilial impulse, but she had been uneasy since she left the house today, and her daughter did not follow her home from the hospital, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

None of the old lady's three sons called out, leaving only Jialuo behind. Luo Linyi suppressed her frown and secretly looked at the old and young couple. She had privately asked the old lady to ask Jialuo about this indirectly, and now she didn't know what she had learned, but it seemed like there was some secret that others hadn't discovered, only she had noticed it.

After leaving the hospital, Luo Linyi thought about calling her daughter later to avoid everyone, at least to find out whether the old lady's accident had anything to do with her. On the way, they passed a park in the city. There was a Guanyin Temple with a lot of incense in the park, and she had the idea of going there again. In fact, Wenzhou never allowed her to worship gods and Buddhas, including the old man, they were all atheists. But she wanted to go today, and the idea seemed imminent, so she found an excuse to get off the car halfway.

"I'll take you wherever you want to go." Wenzhou looked at her.

"No need." Luo Linyi smiled, "I just made an appointment earlier and will be back soon."

Wenzhou didn't say anything else, and the driver got out of the car and opened the door for her.

After watching the car drive away, Luo Linyi turned around and hailed a taxi. She went to the bank first. She didn't have much cash on her, so she had to show some appreciation later. The temple she was going to had a history of nearly a thousand years. It was one of the ancient monuments in the city. It was now protected in a park and was a piece of pure land among the high-rise buildings.

However, during the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar during festivals, there is a constant stream of people here, and it is inevitable that there will be some worldly noise.

After Luo Linyi entered the temple, she saw the Guanyin statue in the main hall holding a pure bottle in her hand, with a kind face and a feeling of looking down on all living things. She stuffed a thick stack of money into the merit box in front of Guanyin, and someone handed her three incense sticks.

With a quick glance, she saw that the person handing over the incense was a monk in plain clothes, with his head lowered. He only asked the female donor whether she wanted to draw lots later.

Luo Linyi was in a trance, feeling a little strange, but then she focused her mind, nodded, and prayed with all her heart.

There were some Buddha statues in several side halls that she couldn't recognize at all. It was said that she had to worship each one of them. So Luo Linyi straightened her appearance and worshipped each one.

She was drawing lots when she received a call that Wen Jialuo had been in a car accident.

As she was shaking the stick tube and making a rustling sound, her cell phone also started ringing, and then a stick fell to the ground, but she knew it was a bad stick without even looking at it as she listened to the phone call.

After losing the lottery tube, Luo Linyi almost jumped up with a pale face. The call was from Wenzhou, who said that his daughter had a car accident and went to the hospital immediately. She screamed in her heart, she knew that something would happen again today, women have a sixth sense, not to mention that mother and daughter are connected by heart, she had been uneasy because of this.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken my daughter home no matter what... I almost stumbled out of the temple. It was cloudy outside, and the oppression was so suffocating.

Wenzhou was the first to receive the call about the car accident. As soon as the accident happened, people living on the roadside found it and called the emergency number. No one dared to move the people in the car before the ambulance arrived. They just gathered around and watched and discussed. After the ambulance arrived, they got the people out of the car and found the cell phone in their pockets. Wen Jialuo's cell phone naturally had her father's phone number, and because it was just the word "Dad", it was quickly found.

Wenzhou had already returned home by then. The three brothers were sitting there talking about something. When he saw it was his daughter calling, he picked up the phone. Then his face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, knocking over the coffee table in front of him.

Wen Yu, who was trying to cheer up the old lady in front of the bed, was so surprised when he received a call from his father that he almost dropped the phone. But the caller only told him that the ambulance was already on its way to Lu General Hospital, but he was afraid not to tell the old lady yet, for fear that she would worry.

Wen Yu had no choice but to avoid the old lady's sight and left the ward. When he ran downstairs to the hospital entrance, several directors were already waiting there, and Secretary Nie beside his uncle, who appeared out of nowhere, was quietly arranging matters.

Mengmeng, who came with him to visit the old lady, saw him running away, so she followed him out. When she went downstairs, she saw a taxi parked at the door. Wen Jialuo's mother rushed out of the car, her face pale and bloodless.

As soon as Luo Linyi got out of the car, she shouted to Secretary Nie, "Where's my daughter?"

"We're still on the way." Secretary Nie was a gentle man wearing glasses. He quickly made a face at Wen Yu, who stepped forward to support her: "Aunt, the ambulance will be here soon. I'm sure everything will be fine. Don't worry."

Meng Meng stood behind him in a daze and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her for a while.

The time spent waiting at the hospital entrance was like a race against death. Luo Linyi had no idea how the car accident happened, nor did she know how her daughter was injured. She was so panicked that she felt a little convulsive until someone put a cup of warm water in her hand.

Before the ambulance arrived, several brothers of the Wen family also arrived.

They came to this hospital twice today, and they all felt a little depressed.

The second son of the Wen family quietly asked his son if the old lady didn't know yet. Wen Yu shook his head with a strange expression. When asked why, he hesitantly said that Jia Luo drove away in the car he borrowed, and that car... was a bit old.

Hearing his son's hidden meaning, the second son of the Wen family slapped him on the head and angrily scolded him that if anything happened to Jialuo, he would just have to wait for his bones to be broken.

Wen Yu stood there feeling a little aggrieved. His good car was borrowed by a friend, and he was forced to borrow a random car to drive back today as he was in a hurry to come back. He was in a hurry to see the old lady, so he drove very fast, but he still drove to the hospital safely, and he didn't even hear Meng Meng, who was sitting in the car, say that she was not feeling well. After entering the hospital, Jia Luo looked at him in confusion, and then the old lady criticized him for everything. He didn't know what the old lady was angry about, so he had to make her laugh first, but he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen right after that.

Thinking that someone like Jialuo who deserved the award for the most focused driver in the world had a car accident, he wanted to smash the car that hit her to pieces.

His clenched hands were gently held by a soft hand. Wen Yu turned his head stiffly and saw Meng Meng standing beside him, whispering that it was okay.

Mengmeng has figured out the situation now, and her heart is also relieved.

I vaguely heard that it was quite serious, with three people injured and all in a coma. I didn't know who the third person was, but the second person seemed to be the woman who was sent by Wen Yu when she left the old lady's ward with Wen Jialuo.

The woman had a natural good voice. Some people's voices are only liked by a certain type of people, but that woman's voice was enjoyed even by her picky ears. While she was thinking this, the ambulance finally came roaring in, carrying down three stretchers one after another. Aunt Luo was the first to rush forward, followed by everyone surrounding her, and Wen Yu also shook off her hand. Meng Meng couldn't see the stretcher they were surrounding, so she walked back, and her heart skipped a beat.

The second stretcher was indeed the woman. Meng Meng saw blood under her neck, which made her face pale. She was startled and moved closer to find that the woman's neck seemed to have been treated urgently. Looking down, her chest was still moving. She patted her chest and saw from a distance that the woman looked like her carotid artery had been cut. She was motionless and looked like she was dead.

The stretcher was carried into the hospital and placed on the prepared cart. Meng Meng grabbed Wen Yu who was running with everyone and pointed at the cart behind: "Do you have the phone number of this woman's home?"

Wen Yu slapped his head suddenly, stamped his feet and called Wen Baohua.

Wen Baohua was kept in the dark just like the old lady at this time. She was talking to the old lady and was about to stand up and walk around when the phone rang.

Wen Yu spoke so urgently that Wen Baohua felt a little dizzy. It took him a long time to yell out, "What? They had a car accident?"

As soon as she yelled, Wen Yu knew something was wrong and hurriedly told her to keep her voice down so that the old lady wouldn't hear. When Wen Baohua turned around, it was too late. The old lady's eyes were as big as copper bells, forcing her mind to go blank and she didn't know what excuse to make to cover up her previous gaffe. But Wen Yu was urging her on the phone again, so she had to use her eyes to comfort the old lady, and then went out to call Xu Shiqi's store.

Coincidentally, Xu Zhongda and Wang Yuan were not in the store today, as they had both gone out to meet friends. Wen Baohua had no choice but to pass on the message and ask the employee who answered the phone in the store to convey it on his behalf, the sooner the better.

All in all, it was a very confusing time.

Several families will have their Spring Festival joy robbed by a car accident, whether it is Wen Jialuo who is treated like a treasure; Xu Shiqi who is only noticed by a strange girl; and the small truck driver whose name is not even known...

Perhaps the fate of a person is determined at the very beginning of their encounter. If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. Now God has given a bad lot, and the person who is forced to draw it will be sad and painful for it, or even doomed...
