BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101 - A Small Accident
She ran to the closet and clad herself into leather pants and a black jersey top with a brown leather jacket. She picked up her gloves and keys. She headed to the garage and put on her helmet before getting on her bike.
In the middle of the night, without any destination in mind, she drove away from home. The roads were mostly empty at this time of the night. She was driving aimlessly ignoring the surroundings. While her focus was lost, a small child suddenly appeared in front of her bike on the road.
Due to the high speed and a sudden shock of seeing the baby, Xu Mey had to swivel her bike to avoid hitting the small girl in her tutu. She lost control of the bike and fell down on the road.
She felt pain in her muscles but didn’t think much about it. She looked at her bike and realized that it had a few scratches and some dents on its beautiful sleek body. Before she could aggrieve about her loss, she heard the girl crying and a man’s voice. "Baby Princess, why did you leave daddy’s hand?" The man ran from the side of the road towards the scared little girl and held her in his arms.
"Are you okay, baby? Are you hurt anywhere?" He was asking while touching his daughter to see whether she hurt herself anywhere or not. "Don’t leave daddy’s hand ever again, daddy’s princess." The man chided his girl lightly while patting her lovingly. He looked anxious, worried and completely lost.
While she was observing a father’s love and concern for his daughter, she didn’t realize that a tall figure had walked up beside her. He crouched down and looked at her bleeding ankle and dazed expression. "Are you okay, Xu Mey?" The familiar voice made her raise her head to see a very familiar looking face.
"Is it true that daughters are always their fathers’ princesses, doc?" Dr. Zhu looked at her tenderly and stroked her hair.
"It’s very true. Daughters are not just a child for a father. They are a part of them. A part of their heart and soul. A daughter always stays as a father’s pride." He said with a sad smile. "Get up, you’re hurt."
Xu Mey’s daze broke and she looked at her bleeding ankle. "It’s no big deal, doc. But my bike is hurt." She made a crying face.
"I’ll get someone to take care of your bike. You come with me first." He placed his handkerchief to press on her ankle to control the bleeding.
"It’s really not a big deal, doc." She tried to argue.
"Stay quiet. And follow me. Where were you going? I’ll drop you off in my car." He supported her to his own car parked close by while Xu Mey was thinking about where she was going? "This road leads to the military compound. Were you going there?" Xu Mey stared at the road ahead for a while and nodded. "Great... I was going there as well." He said. "First, I’ll take you to my sister’s place so that I can treat your wound."
"There is no worry. My friend’s mother will help." She said thinking about He Jian’s mother.
Dr. Zhu called for a man and he took Xu Mey’s bike to get fixed. Then, he drove the car towards the military compound. The guards at the entrance opened the door wide open seeing Dr. Zhu in the driving seat.
Dr. Zhu didn’t ask for Xu Mey’s destination and brought the car to his sister’s compound. "Chen! I’ve been waiting for hours." A beautiful voice was heard as a woman in beautiful qipao came towards the car.
Xu Mey kept staring at the woman’s face for a long time in a daze. Before Dr. Zhu could open his mouth to say anything he saw his sister running up to the passenger seat with anxiousness. "Xiao Mey!" She called out as Xu Mey was still staring at her in a daze. Her mind was reeling. "Oh my God! What’s happened to her?" The woman looked at her brother, Dr. Zhu behind and asked.
"She had a small accident. So, I brought her here. Qinyang-Jie, you know her?" He was really curious about this, seeing his sister’s concern.
Zhu Qinyang, his sister completely disregarded her younger brother. "Ah Jian!" She bellowed alarming almost everyone. "Xiao Mey is hurt." Her voice completely broke Xu Mey’s dazed state.
"Auntie Zhu?" She called out her name as her head felt heavy all of sudden and she lost consciousness.
He Jian came running from inside at her mother’s call along with his father, He Kun trailing behind him. He Jian blanched looking at her unconscious body. He immediately picked her up in his arms and ran inside. "What are you standing here for, Chen? You’re a doctor. Help in treating Xiao Mey." Dr. Zhu Chen nodded immediately following her inside.
