Chapter 32 - Accident.
After a while, the driver came and knocked on the car window. Liwei pulled down the window. Then the driver explained, " Sir, there is an accident in front. A car ran off after hitting a woman in the '40s. People had called the ambulance. But the condition of the woman seems serious".
Then Liwei said, " Call the police and turn back the car." he said with a straight face.
The driver nodded.
After listening to the driver Ming started feeling uncomfortable. She was the daughter of a doctor. His father has invented many ways and medicines to treat patients. And she inherited those skills and the compassion for sick from him. If she hadn't married to Ji cheng, she would have joined his father.
Thinking this she went to open the door but Liwei stopped her, " where are you going?"
Ming replied, " I am going to check on the patient." she said with a straight face.
Liwei said, " And what will you do. Ming, we had done what we can do. The ambulance is on the way, we called the police and there are already so many people to look for the victim and now there is nothing to do for us. Let's just go home. Okay?"
Ming replied, " Liwei, other people can't do anything but I can do. It's about someone's life and we can't just turn a blind eye to this. "
After saying this she dashed out the car without waiting for his reply.
Liwei also reluctantly followed her. When they went through the crowd, they saw a woman in her 40's covered in blood and her body has scratches over it. Her clothes were torn off. And people around her was taking pictures and video of her. She was wailing in pain and nobody came near to her to help her. They are waiting for the ambulance, all they can do is wait. Because they don't want to touch her, because it will dirty their clothes. That's what people do, they make videos and post it on the internet raising questions on government and criticizing the society, but they won't help when that person needs help. Instead, they stand there like a mannequin and take videos.
Ming ordered, Liwei to get off his coat, as it's summer and she is not wearing extra clothing. Hearing her ordering like this, Liwei was surprised but get off the coat and gave it to her.
Ming covered the woman with the coat. Then she sat beside her, as she was going to touch her,
Liwei stopped her. He said, " Ming don't touch her. She may have fractures and if you touch her you will worsen the situation." he said worriedly.
"I know what I am doing Liwei. Relax." as she said and patted the back of his hand. And then turned to the woman.
Ming checked her pulse, then her eyes. People were looking at her with questionable eyes. They were wondering, " Is she a doctor?"
Ignoring other people, Ming continued to check her.
The woman's condition was critical. She indeed had multiple fractures. But it's not the main problem. The main problem is.... she was pregnant. In previous times, she can recognize one's condition just by checking their pulse. Though it's a case for geniuses only. In her time, she learned from his father about medicines but she was itself very knowledgable in this field. She had even invented many medicines and techniques to treat different diseases.
At this founding, Ming's eyes widened in shock. She was one month pregnant and it seems the case of late pregnancy. And this accident could harm her child.
She wanted to ask the woman itself that is aware of her pregnancy, but she was not in a state of answering.
Then she thought for a while, and opened her clutch and took out the jewelry box that Mother Jin has given her. Liwei was looking at her with a confused yet surprised expression.
Then Ming took out the hairpin. Everyone gasped at this beautiful hairpin. But they were confused 'what this woman wants to do' . Even Liwei was staring at her. " What is going to do with a hairpin?"
