Chapter 1016: A Fall

“Wail…”

Xi Xi’s cries could be heard from the parking lot.

He Xiyan immediately ran over in concern when she saw that her daughter had tripped and fell.

Ye Hao was closer to Xi Xi and thus, it only took him several seconds to reach his daughter.

“Xi Xi…” Ye Hao said. He was so worried that his face was flushed red. He immediately picked up his daughter and held her tightly in his arms.

He Xiyan ran up to her daughter, crouched down, and pulled out a packet of tissue from her bag.

“Xi Xi, could you tell me where does it hurt?” He Xiyan asked. She was so nervous that cold sweat beaded on her forward as she quickly checked her daughter for injuries.

Xi Xi bawled her eyes out and her cries echoed throughout the entire parking garage. She didn’t respond to her parents’ concerned questions and only continued to wail loudly at the top of her lungs.

He Xiyan saw that both of Xi Xi’s palms and her knees were bleeding. Her dress was also torn and there was a patch of blood on her dress that made her injuries look even more horrific.

“Ye Hao, quick, we have to bring Xi Xi to the infirmary,” He Xiyan said. She couldn’t be bothered to think too deeply into this because all she could see were the injuries on her daughter’s body and her daughter’s loud wails.

Xi Xi had a fear of pain and she would cry for a long while even if she accidentally stubbed her toe against a table.

Ye Hao was already running toward the infirmary with his daughter in his arms while He Xiyan followed closely behind with Yuan Yuan in tow.

Yuan Yuan didn’t say anything. He had seen his sister fall earlier and felt bad for her because he saw how hard she had fallen. This was a concrete floor and not carpeted floors at home. It would hurt intensely if one were to fall here.

Ye Hao quickly arrived at the infirmary.

The doctor took one look and when he realized that his patient was Xi Xi, he quickly put everything aside to tend to her wounds.

“What’s wrong, Ye Zixi? Did you fall down?” Dr. Wang said as he looked at her wounds.

Ye Hao’s heart raced. He was sweating profusely and his face was red because he had carried his daughter and ran quite a distance earlier.

“My daughter fell at the parking area earlier and her hands and legs are wounded. Could you please tend to her wounds and let me know if she needs to take an injection?” Ye Hao said anxiously.

His daughter’s cries were like knives that pierced through his body.

He had never seen his daughter wailing so loudly.

“Sure, Mr. Ye,” Dr. Wang said as he applied disinfectant on her wounds.

He Xiyan and Yuan Yuan arrived shortly after.

He Xiyan’s face was flushed all the way up to her neck because she was so worried.

“Doctor, how is my daughter doing?” He Xiyan asked.

Dr. Wang examined her wounds.

“These are just superficial wounds and she didn’t hurt her shin. She’ll be fine after I bandage her wounds. Don’t be too worried. Children being children will occasionally slip and fall,” Dr. Wang said.

He could tell that Ye Zixi’s parents were very worried and reacted as though their daughter had come down with a serious illness.

“Are you sure that these are just superficial wounds?” He Xiyan asked. Her concern was still written all over her face.

Dr. Wang nodded and said, “Yes, these are just superficial wounds.”

Xi Xi stopped wailing but tears continued to brim in her eyes.

“Mom…” Xi Xi said as she rested her head against her mother’s shoulders and pouted. She looked very upset.

“Mom, would I still be able to perform?” she asked.

She was terrified that her teacher would stop her from performing because she was injured and replace her with another student.
