Sylvia heard the desperate cries and immediately walked towards the crowd. In the center, a child lay barely breathing with a Tesla car that had crashed into a flower bed emitting smoke in front of him. The child was covered in blood and held by a young woman.
Sylvia quickly approached and knelt beside the young woman. "I'm a doctor, let me help." The young woman's face was full of tears as she looked up at Sylvia like she had found her savior. "Doctor, please save my child."
Just then, an elegantly dressed elderly lady with white hair stumbled out of the Tesla car while coughing violently. "I hit the brakes but they failed to work," she explained as she walked over.
However, many onlookers were displeased when they saw her and began to voice their opinions. "What is someone your age doing driving?" "You should be retired at home!" "Look how badly this poor kid is hurt... don't you have any conscience?"
Sylvia continued examining the child's injuries while cautioning against moving him since he may have broken ribs or arm bones or even suffered from brain trauma.
She tore off part of her own dress to bandage his wounds while he remained unconscious with closed eyes. Meanwhile, behind Sylvia and the young mother stood Jasmine who felt guilty for what happened.
"It's all my fault; I never thought that my brakes would fail," Jasmine said apologetically.
As Sylvia lifted her head up after finishing bandaging up some wounds on the boy's body parts, Jasmine's familiar face caught her attention causing her eyebrows to furrow in surprise. "Ms. Hipps?"
Jasmine froze upon seeing Sylvia here unexpectedly. "Miss Andrews?"
Sylvia glanced at Jasmine before looking back at her Tesla car again saying. "The Tesla belongs to electric cars which are considered high-end vehicles but recently there has been frequent brake failure incidents reported about them... I didn't expect Ms. Hipps to own one."
It was clear that these cars were very unstable yet it seemed like their manufacturers refused to take responsibility for it.
They refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem with their cars. They push all the blame onto the consumers, saying that they are intentionally accusing the brand in order to make a profit.
Unfortunately, this Tesla car is a high-end electric sedan brand under the Ritter Group.
The Ritter Group's attitude is very tough and they take no responsibility.
Even though there has been strong public opinion on social media recently and netizens are very angry, it hasn't shaken the Ritter Group's stance at all.
Jasmine had good driving skills and had been driving for over ten years. She never thought she would get into trouble because of a Tesla car. The brakes failed and it almost caused a life-threatening situation. This child was still so young; if anything happened to him, not only would Jasmine be legally responsible but also morally guilty for her entire life.
Now seeing Sylvia kneeling down to bandage the child's wounds gave Jasmine an inexplicable sense of security. But when she glanced at her Tesla car, her eyes turned cold.
An ambulance quickly arrived with sirens blaring at the scene of the accident. An emergency doctor jumped out of his vehicle carrying a stretcher and carefully lifted up the child before looking towards Sylvia.
"Dr. Sylvia? When did you return to Larro?" A surprised voice rang out as Sylvia looked up to see Dr. Remy, one of her former colleagues from Lilypad General Hospital.
She smiled," I just got back two days ago."
"Oh my goodness! You're so famous now! So many big shots want you to perform surgery on them but were rejected by our dean! Recently I heard that an old professor came from abroad with serious illness who also wants you do surgery on him! Do you want to go back hospital together? The dean will be thrilled when he finds out about your return!"
Dr. Remy excitedly said, "Let's send this kid off first, then we can catch up later!"
No matter how much they chatted though, they couldn't ignore their patient's life being in danger. Sylvia patted off dirt from herself, "I'll come too."
She took out her phone and called Franklin, "There's a patient here who's quite serious. I'm going to hospital now. If there isn't any traffic jam, you can go back first."
As she spoke, she walked towards ambulance. The young woman saw that child was taken away and immediately followed after them. Jasmine stayed behind with traffic police officer making notes.
This shocking traffic accident made headlines within minutes, it was everywhere on social media. "Tesla Car Loses Control Again And Hits Child."
"Can You Trust Your Tesla Car?"
"What number accident is this for Tesla?"
"The brakes failed, oh my god, it's so scary."
"God bless the child and keep them safe."
After receiving Sylvia's phone call, Franklin was filled with frustration. Did she forget why they left home today? It was truly helpless.
The ambulance rushed towards the hospital with sirens blaring and twenty minutes later came to a stop at the emergency department entrance. Sylvia got out of the car too, and her colleagues at the hospital were surprised to see her.
They greeted her one after another. "Dr. Sylvia is back?"
"Dr. Sylvia, long time no see!"
"Are you going to take care of this emergency patient? You just brought him here."
Sylvia felt their warmth and immediately said. "I happened to be passing by at the scene of an accident where a child was injured badly. I will perform surgery on him myself if that's okay with everyone."
