Chapter 858: Severe Injury
Just as the dishes were being served, Gao Song pushed open the door to the private room in a flustered manner, but stood at the door without coming in. Huang Xiaochuan knew from his appearance that something must have happened, so in order not to disturb the children, he got up and went out.
Upon arriving at the private room, before Gao Song could even offer any information, Huang Xiaochuan asked him, "What's the matter?"
Gao Song didn't dare to delay and quickly told him: "Mr. Huang, I just received a call that your second brother-in-law was in a car accident and is currently being treated in the hospital."
Huang Xiaochuan was suddenly stunned. A car accident? Emergency treatment? What the hell?
He was stunned by the sudden news, but he quickly recovered and asked, "Which hospital? Is the cause of the accident known?"
"The specific cause of the accident is still unclear. The accident occurred on the Huqingping Highway. Director Huo should have been on his way home from get off work. He is currently at xxx Hospital."
"What about the other party involved in the accident?"
Gao Song shook his head: "It's not clear yet."
"Got it!" Huang Xiaochuan turned around and went back into the private room.
He quickly walked up behind Yu Xiang and whispered a few words in her ear, which shocked Yu Xiang.
"Then let's go to the hospital right away."
Huang Xiaochuan stopped Yu Xiang: "You take care of the children first. I'll go check on them first. After they've eaten, you can take them to your parents' house before going to the hospital."
Yu Xiang watched the three children chatting happily while eating and agreed with the man's opinion.
"I understand, then you should go quickly!"
Huang Xiaochuan gently patted Yu Xiang's shoulder: "Hmm!"
He then apologized to Qi Huan and the children, saying, "Qi Huan, I'm sorry, something came up. You guys enjoy your meal; I won't stay with you any longer."
"Then you should go quickly! It's important." Qi Huan knew that Huang Xiaochuan was usually very busy, so she understood.
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and waved to the three children before leaving the private room.
After leaving the house, his face immediately turned cold. He walked quickly toward the elevator. The fact that he was already in the hospital for emergency treatment meant that the situation was very serious. Huang Xiaochuan was very anxious. He wondered how worried his uncle, aunt, and second sister Zeng Xia must be.
It just so happened that the evening rush hour hadn't ended yet, and by the time Huang Xiaochuan arrived at the hospital, almost an hour had passed.
A group of people were waiting in front of the emergency room. Besides the uncle and aunt, the second sister Zeng Xia whose face was swollen from crying, there were also the parents of the second sister's husband Huo Miao, the eldest brother's family, Tang Jianhua and the eldest sister Zeng Hong. The eldest sister was comforting Zeng Xia.
Tang Jianhua saw his brother-in-law rushing towards them from afar, and he immediately told his parents-in-law and the Zeng sisters, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia.
When the group looked up, Huang Xiaochuan was already standing in front of them. The first thing he asked was, "What happened? How is he?"
"Wow!" Zeng Xia couldn't help but cry again when she saw her younger brother arrive.
Seeing her like this, Huang Xiaochuan knew he shouldn't expect to get anything out of her. Fortunately, Tang Jianhua knew some things.
"Xiao Chuan, this is what happened. Huo Miao was in a car accident on his way back. There was a collision involving three cars. Because of the rain and slippery roads, Huo Miao's car was hit the hardest and flipped off the road. He was unconscious at the time. When he arrived at the hospital, they said he had an open head injury, as well as broken ribs and a fractured left calf. We don't know yet if he suffered any internal injuries. The test results are not out yet."
Huang Xiaochuan gasped in shock. This injury was serious! Fractures were one thing, but an open head injury was no joke; the mortality rate was very high.
"Who called the police? What did the traffic police say?"
"The traffic police came. They said that according to the driver of the car following Huo Miao, a Range Rover from the opposite direction suddenly cut across the solid line and hit Huo Miao and his car. But after the accident, the other driver didn't stop at all and just fled. The traffic police are now looking for the Range Rover that caused the hit-and-run. The driver of the car following Huo Miao was the one who called the police and 120. He's okay; he's not seriously injured, just has some scratches."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
He walked over to Huo Miao's parents and brother's family, greeted them, and comforted Huo Miao's parents.
Then he went back to his uncle and aunt, saying, "You two don't need to stay here with me. I'll have someone send you home first. My brother-in-law will be fine. I'll be alright here."
Before the two elders could refuse, he beckoned Gao Song over.
At this moment, Tang Jianhua and Zeng Hong also urged the elderly couple to go back first: "Yes! You should go back first. If anything happens, we will call you. Your health is the most important thing."
Seeing this, Zeng Jiahua stopped insisting. He wasn't confused; he knew that staying here would only cause trouble for his children and wouldn't be of any help. Now that his nephew had come, it was as if his pillar of support had arrived, so he felt at ease.
After seeing his aunt and uncle off, Huang Xiaochuan immediately called Yu Xiang, asking her to quickly contact a specialist in craniocerebral surgery in Shanghai to come to the hospital, and also to contact Hong Kong's Hong Kong Charity Hospital to prepare for a transfer.
After seeing his aunt and uncle off, Huang Xiaochuan immediately called Yu Xiang, asking her to quickly contact a specialist in craniocerebral surgery in Shanghai to come to the hospital, and also to contact Hong Kong's Hong Kong Charity Hospital to prepare for a transfer.
After ending the call with Yu Xiang, he instructed Gao Song to urgently contact the flight crew, apply for a flight route, and temporarily install emergency medical equipment on the plane, ready for takeoff at any time.
In less than an hour, two of Shanghai's top neurosurgery experts arrived at the hospital. Without saying a word, they changed into sterile gowns and went into the emergency room.
At this point, Zeng Xia's emotions stabilized, and she was no longer as helpless as she had been at the beginning. After all, with her younger brother there, she felt a sense of security.
The surgery didn't end until 3 a.m., and all the injury reports came out. Four ribs were broken, the left shin was fractured, and there was an open head injury. Except for the lung, which was punctured by the broken ribs, the other internal organs were not damaged. This was a stroke of luck. If there had been internal bleeding, he probably would have died here.
But this was already very serious. After the rescue was completed, Huo Miao was still not out of danger and was sent to the ICU for intensive care.
"Alright, go back and rest! There's no use you staying here." Huang Xiaochuan persuaded Huo Miao's older brother to go back first. Huo Miao's parents had already been sent away by his people. They were not young, and there was no need for them to stay and waste time. Besides, they couldn't be of any help.
Then he persuaded his eldest sister, second sister, and Tang Jianhua to go back.
"Brother-in-law, you should go back too, go back and get some rest."
Tang Jianhua, a steady man, nodded: "I understand. Your second sister can come with us. Your eldest sister and I will take her to her parents' (aunt and uncle) place first."
"Okay, I'll have Yu Xiang pick up Liu Jin and bring her to my house. It's summer vacation anyway, so let her stay at my house. You can also have Xuan Xuan come and stay with us. It'll be more lively for the siblings to be together." Huang Xiaochuan didn't forget to make arrangements for his niece Liu Jin.
Tang Jianhua agreed, saying that it was most appropriate for Liu Jin to go to his brother-in-law's house at this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for her to face her mother Zeng Xia, who was always in tears. It was better to keep some things from her for the time being.
Then he shook his head speechlessly, wondering what kind of mess this was.
Suddenly he remembered something else: "Right, the traffic police told me to go see Officer Cao in the accident investigation department tomorrow, no, it should be after 2 pm today."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
