Chapter 516


    The driver nced at the child she was cradling in her arms, and the cloth wrapped around her


    forehead soaked with fresh blood. Clearly, she was injured.


    Behind her, an elderly woman and three other children were waiting.


    All in all, six people.


    The driver didn’t open the door. Although he sympathized with their predicament, he couldn’t take


    them.


    The driver said, “My colleague just called me. There’s a strict check on cabs and buses up ahead. I


    can’t fit the six of you. You should wait for a bus.”


    With that, the driver coldly drove off.


    “Hey!” Thssa called out to the retreating taxi, only able to watch helplessly as it drove away.


    She was so anxious that her breathing quickened, and tears began to well up in her eyes.


    Elowen, unable to bear the pain, was still crying.


    Each sob pulled at Thssa’s heart-strings, causing her immense distress and heartache.


    Were the checks up ahead Lysander’s doing?


    His methods were always suffocating, swift and decisive.

    But Elowen was seriously injured. They couldn’t wait.


    A van was approaching from the front, and its headlights red brightly.


    Thssa quickly waved her hand, urgently gging down the vehicle.


    The van was private, and not intended to carry passengers. But the driver was kind-hearted..


    Seeing someone waving him down, with a child in her arms who looked unwell, he stopped.


    Thssa quickly approached and said in a shaky voice, “Sir, my daughter identally bumped her


    head and she’s bleeding a lot. Can you please take us to the hospital? I beg you.”


    “Please, we need your help. Saving a life is more important than anything else. Our child is so


    young…” Evelyn pleaded, tears streaming down her face.


    She usually nagged Thssa and med her for having children before marriage. And even though


    she left her to care for them, she was still deeply attached to them.


    Those were her grandchildren, whom she had raised with her own hands.


    Her love for them was no less than Thssa’s. Seeing Elowen bleed so much, she felt both anxious


    and distressed.


    “Alright, get in quickly.” The driver was a young man in his twenties, who also had a child. He also had


    a little princess at home. His little girl was always in his thoughts as he hustled about. Every time he


    went home, his daughter would joyfully run to him, her sweet voice calling him “daddy”. No matter how


    tired he was, her voice always healed him.


    His daughter was his reason and motivation for striving. Having a child of his own, he understood the


    feelings of a parent when their child was injured.


    “Thank you. Thank you so much.” Thssa quickly thanked him, holding Elowen as they got into the


    van.


    Evelyn also got in with the other three children.


    The van drove off quickly.


    Thssa remembered what the taxi driver had said about a checkpoint ahead. She felt uneasy.


    Soon, they arrived at the toll booth, where numerous traffic cops were stationed. At each booth, there


    were at least four traffic cops.


    Every car that passed through was stopped and checked.


    Thssa’s grip on Elowen tightened.


    Soon, they arrived at the checkpoint and were stopped by the traffic cops.


    Thssa looked pale and increasingly anxious.


    Two officers approached the van and peered inside.


    Thssa’s heart pounded.


    The officers noticed two women and a child inside. The child had a cloth around her head, soaked with


    blood, and she was still sobbing.


    She seemed injured.


    Evelyn pleaded, “Officer, my granddaughter was ying around and identally hit her head. We


    need to get to the hospital. Can you please hurry?”
