To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 243: Do Not Move Her

“Do not move her, I’m going to look her over.”

One of the most common fears in elderly people is being involved in some sort of collision. Any such crash might affect the person adversely.

Su Qingsang crouched down and spoke gently to Xiang Caiping, who was sitting on the ground. “Aunty, I’m a doctor. Can you let me know which part of your body was hit? Where do you feel pain? Are you able to move your hands and legs?”

Xiang Caiping stared at the young woman in front of her. The woman’s face confounded her for a moment.

There is a resemblance there, a real resemblance. Maybe it is not total resemblance, but she definitely looks like him. She does not take after me. Instead, she takes after him.

She almost certainly did not need to doubt herself or ask further questions. Once she looked at that face, what other proof did she need?

“Aunty?”

Huo Jinyao crouched down and, at the same time, he took out his cell phone to call for an ambulance.

Su Qingsang reached out her hand and waved it in front of Xiang Caiping. “Aunty, aunty can you hear me? Aunty…”

“You, you…” Xiang Caiping uttered twice. She could not seem to put what she wanted to say into words.

“Where do you feel pain? Please tell me.” Su Qingsang feared that the elderly woman had gotten seriously hurt. Su Qingsang, however, did not mention the possible severity of the situation.

She was in the front seat and knew that Huo Jinyao’s car did not collide into this elderly woman. The elderly woman was merely caught off guard and frightened by the sudden appearance of the car, resulting in a loss of balance and then a fall.

After continued coaxing, the elderly woman only grimaced. She did not reveal which part of her body was in pain.

A sudden look of suspicion crept onto Su Qingsang’s face. Could this elderly woman be trying to pull off a scam?

She could not help but look at Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao had finished making the call. The ambulance would be arriving shortly. Seeing the look of concern on Su Qingsang’s face, he was a little befuddled.

“What’s the matter, Qingsang?”

Qingsang? Yes, it is her. Xiang Caiping’s already misty eyes once again widened in revelation.

It’s really her.

“You…” As she was overwhelmed with emotions, Xiang Caiping reddened. She also started to slur her speech.

Other than the aunt who took care of her daily life, Xiang Caiping had not had many people to speak to for a long time. To her surprise, she was not able to think of words at this moment.

Sensing something amiss, the look of suspicion on Su Qingsang’s face gave way to unease.

“Aunty, are you alright?”

Aunty? How could she call me aunty?

“I…I am…” Xiang Caiping was about to make her identity known when a sudden pang of pain pierced her waist.

“Aunty, don’t move. You might have accidentally sprained your waist.”

As Su Qingsang spoke, she held Xiang Caiping down to prevent her from getting up.

Xiang Caiping wanted to speak but saw Huo Jinyao standing close by, so she could not utter a word.

Huo Jinyao also thought that this woman who had suddenly fallen was trying to scam them into compensating her. This sort of scam was prolific, especially occurring to people who drove luxurious cars like him.

If it was truly a scam, he was unfazed by it.

This lady, however, did not look like the archetypal scammer, as she had kept up with her pretense really well up until now. She also did not say anything about monetary compensation.

She also kept staring at Su Qingsang. What was she trying to do? Did she think that it would be easier to reason with a woman?

“Aunty, please bear with this a little longer. I’m going to check out your injury and perform first aid on you.”

Su Qingsang espied the look in the elderly woman’s eyes as they bore into her. They seemed guarded but they also reflected other subtleties. She said softly, in a gentle tone, “You don’t have to worry. I’m a doctor.”

Doctor? Her daughter was actually a doctor?

The pain in Xiang Caiping’s eyes deepened. After all these years, she had never been able to see her daughter. She did not even know that her daughter had become a doctor.

This is good, really good.

Su Qingsang was increasingly uncomfortable with the woman’s stare but she had long gotten used to the doubtful look that patients gave her because of her youth. She was not bothered by this.
