Chapter 121 Will this child prodigy perish because of this?
In the evening, Xiao Ran and his friends arrived and saw that the little girl had her hair shaved off and her small body was covered with various monitoring instruments. Their eyes welled up with tears.
The two team members couldn't control themselves and started sobbing.
Everyone thought she was on the verge of death, otherwise why would she have so many medical devices attached to her?
Xiao Ran bowed to the Lin family members, "I'm sorry, it was our incompetence. If we could have put out the fire, she wouldn't be like this."
Lin Guiying waved her hand weakly, "It has nothing to do with you. I know my granddaughter's personality. She did it voluntarily."
"You saw it, didn't you? What did she do?" Lin Dayuan sat on the edge of the bed, calm and deep.
Although he was speaking to Xiao Ran, his eyes were fixed on Lin Xi without blinking.
Xiao Ran described what he had seen and stated that he would never tell anyone.
"Oh, thank you for coming to see her. As you can see, the doctor doesn't know when she'll wake up. You should go back now."
Lin Guojun actually harbored some resentment. This was their responsibility, so why was his granddaughter taking on it?
He knew he was taking his anger out on someone for no reason, but he couldn't control himself. He had nowhere to vent his worries and grievances, and for some reason, he didn't want to see these people.
After Xiao Ran left, Lin Guiying slumped her shoulders, her face full of worry. She had the same thoughts as Lin Guojun.
They don't need heroes or gods; they only hope their granddaughter is safe and healthy.
Even though their lives are much better thanks to divine protection, if they could start over, they would choose for themselves.
She will definitely choose to let her granddaughter live an ordinary life and grow up like an ordinary child.
That night, I couldn't sleep.
Maybe the child is simply tired and wants to rest; they might wake up the next morning.
But as the sun rose and golden sunlight streamed into the room, their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
When the doctor came to check on Lin Xi, he saw that she was still asleep, shook his head helplessly, checked the instrument data, found no problems, and then left.
Unfortunately, there's no way to treat this situation. We can only monitor the vital signs and see if there are any changes along the way.
Outside the city, Lin Xi's story has spread throughout Danbei City, and the footage of her and the firefighters rushing out of the fire has been broadcast on television again and again.
This fire was the largest fire accident in recent years. Even though there were no casualties, the firefighting process was thrilling and almost caused incalculable losses.
It all depends on luck.
At least that's what the leaders and ordinary people in Danbei think.
This was already a hot topic, and with relevant leaders requiring it to be broadcast repeatedly to strengthen people's fire prevention awareness, the story of the little hero Lin Xi spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The news report stated that Lin Xi volunteered to rush into the fire to help firefighters rescue people. With her intelligence and cheetah-like running speed, she successfully rescued an unconscious boy and later helped the firefighters rescue a couple.
Furthermore, the report highlighted that she was the child prodigy, the author of the bestselling book, and the national math Olympiad champion...
They also played a video of her past interview, in which she appeared radiant and charming, a stark contrast to her disheveled state amidst the flames.
This scene pierced everyone's hearts.
What's even more heartbreaking is that this child prodigy is now in a coma.
Early in the morning, reporters came to the hospital to interview her, and Lin Guiying almost lost her temper and kicked them out.
The doctors and nurses couldn't bear to watch either. The child was already in such a state, and you still wanted to interview them? It was like stabbing them in the heart.
They all volunteered to keep watch, chasing away anyone who came, and instructing the security guards not to let them in.
The reporters stood at the hospital entrance reporting, "Yesterday, young hero Lin Xi was carried onto an ambulance. He had no injuries at the time. We don't know why he fell unconscious, but..."
"According to sources within the hospital, the time it will take for young hero Lin Xi to wake up is uncertain..."
"Will this child prodigy fall from grace because of this?..."
The reports came in droves.
Wu Jingshu sat in front of the TV, her hand holding the remote control trembling. Then, without even changing her shoes, she stumbled out in her slippers and pajamas.
"Driver, to the Minghua Road Bookstore!"
Inside the bookstore, Fu Wenyuan was picking out books for his young apprentice when a staff member ran over. "Master Fu, someone is looking for you. They're in a real hurry."
Wu Jingshu rarely goes out and has never been to a bookstore before, so the staff naturally don't recognize her.
Fu Wenyuan thought his second apprentice was a disappointment, but then he saw his usually dignified and elegant wife running out in her pajamas and slippers, looking very anxious.
He sighed inwardly, "Oh no, something big must have happened!"
When Wu Jingshu saw him, she rushed up to him before he came downstairs, took out a heart medicine from her pocket, pried open Fu Wenyuan's mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Fu Wenyuan had never seen his wife so rude before, and he was completely taken aback.
"Wen Yuan, listen to me, Xiao Xi is in an accident, she's in the hospital and unconscious."
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, Fu Wenyuan's mind went completely blank.
The couple had no children, and Lin Xi would come to their home every weekend to study and eat. They had long developed a deep affection for her, treating her like their own granddaughter and showering her with love.
Wu Jingshu prepared a variety of delicious meals for her child, racking her brains and preparing for a whole week just for lunch.
Fu Wenyuan was like a completely different person. He used to be extremely strict, but now he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to the child and wished he could pluck the stars from the sky and send the moon to him.
Hearing this news now was like a bolt from the blue; the color drained from his face instantly, and his eyes were filled with panic.
He clutched his chest. "Let's go to the hospital!"
His voice trembled, his steps were unsteady, but his speed was not slow.
When I entered the ward and saw my little apprentice surrounded by various medical instruments, my heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
He walked shakily to the bedside, gently held those thin little hands, his eyes red-rimmed.
"My little disciple, your master has come to see you..."
The moment Wu Jingshu entered the ward, she burst into tears.
The little girl who used to always look at her with a smile and call her "Teacher's Wife, Teacher's Wife" in a sweet voice.
Now, lying lifelessly in the hospital bed, eyes closed, face pale and almost transparent, like a lifeless rag doll.
The day before yesterday, she said she wanted to eat homemade glutinous rice cakes and that she bought herself a hairpin that would suit her perfectly, and that she would bring it to her next week...
How could it have turned out like this in just two days?
Lin Guiying put her arm around Wu Jingshu's shoulder. She looked haggard and her hair was disheveled after staying up all night.
He said softly, "Xiao Xi is just asleep, she'll definitely wake up..."
The ward door opened, and a nurse pushed in a cart to give Lin Xi an IV drip. She couldn't eat anything right now and could only rely on injections.
The needle pierced the vein, but it seemed to pierce everyone's heart.
Fu Wenyuan pulled Lin Dayuan outside the door. "Dayuan, I know Xiaoxi is different from others. Did she... did she leave behind anything that could save her life, like flowers or grass...?"
