Chapter 42: It’s too late

“Sister Bei comes to see Xiao Xin every Wednesdays, right?”

“Yes! Sister, how do you know? You two are friends?! Xiao Xin is truly...Xiao Xin is truly….” The child seemed extremely stimulated. But suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off the swings.

I caught him, but his fingertips were ice cold. His eyes were tightly shut and he didn’t move at all in my embrace.

“Xiao Xin! Xiao Xin! What’s going on?” I sat down paralyzed on the ground. I was completely at my wits’ end. My screaming attracted the attention of those inside the orphanage, and the woman whom I was following came out.

“This child….” I wanted to explain what happened because I was afraid she thought I did something to him. But the middle aged woman totally disregarded my existence and directly took Xiao Xin from my arms and rushed to stop a taxi. They departed immediately.

Were they going to the hospital? They must be, right? I touched my face and saw some of Xiao Xin’s blood on my fingertips; it made me feel a bit dizzy.

The child’s blood...that child…

I forced myself up and stopped another taxi and told the driver to take me to the nearest hospital.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the hospital’s parking lot. I happened to see a bunch of doctors and nurses gathered around Xiao Xin as they pushed his bed into the hospital. The middle aged woman was running frantically from behind. I also ran after them. We were all waiting anxiously outside of the emergency room.

The middle aged woman was sobbing and making a phone call at the same time. Her voice was raspy and shaky as she cried, “Xiao Xin. Xiao Xin is in the emergency room again. I’m afraid...I’m afraid….” She was unable to finish her sentence because she broke down in hysterical tears.

I wanted to go up to comfort her, but it didn’t seem appropriate. So, I only stood far away as I watched her weep.

After a long time, Xiao Xin still hadn’t been released. It was not a good sign. Time continued to pass minute by minute and Xiao Xin remained in the emergency room.

*thump thump* Then, the sounds of a pair of high heels approached us. The owner of the black high heels was a woman who had concern written all over her face -Xiao Xin’s sister Bei.

“How is Xiao Xin?” The fake Xu Weishan went passed me and ran towards the middle aged woman who looked like she was about to collapse from her sorrows. She failed to notice me as her attention was completely on Xiao Xin.
