At the hospital, Iris and Dom flanked the sobbing Jiang Ying Yue, comforting her. The two were also crying, but they needed to be strong for their friend and her poor son. It wouldn't be helpful if all of them collapsed from despair.
Jin Liwei and Lin Yehan were standing nearby speaking in low, serious voices with a couple of police officers.
The dazed Long Hui sat beside his father, Long Tengfei, a bit far away from the others. He had a black eye.
They were all waiting in front of the operating room. Little Jun was in surgery because they found that he had multiple fractures.
It was a miracle that he had been able to walk out of the mountain forest by himself.
The emergency doctor who examined Little Jun when he first arrived at the hospital commented that whoever administered first aid to the child did an excellent job in setting all the fractures. The skillful and precise technique would help prevent Little Jun from suffering a lifetime of sequelae caused by the fractures he sustained today.
Iris and the others headed to the hospital first to await Little Jun's arrival after confirming that the special police force had finally "rescued" him. However, the police and the other emergency responders decided that it was better for the child to head straight to surgery instead of meeting his family first.
The first aid administered on Little Jun might be successful but it wasn't enough by itself. What the child went through during his kidnapping was horrendous. His injuries were grave. He needed urgent medical treatment.
Meeting his family could wait.
They needed to make sure that the child was alive and well first before they could allow him to meet his family.
It would be a tragedy if they were able to "rescue" him but he died under their watch.
At first, Long Hui made a scene when he learned that he wasn't allowed to see his son yet before the emergency surgery. However, when the police revealed that it was Mao Qiuyue's parents who beat up Little Jun, he couldn't even fight back when Jiang Ying Yue attacked him.
It was thanks to the police who restrained Jiang Ying Yue that Long Hui came out of it with only a black eye.
Because of what happened, the others weren't speaking or even looking at Long Hui. Even his father, Long Tengfei, stayed silent and didn't bother comforting him. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Although Long Hui had already divorced Mao Qiuyue and shouldn't be blamed for what his ex-wife's family did to his son, everyone understood that the Maos only did such a horrific thing because they got involved with Long Hui in the first place. If Little Jun wasn't Long Hui's son, then the Maos wouldn't even bother to risk offending Jin Liwei who was the child's godfather.
It was already Jiang Ying Yue's huge mercy to even allow Long Hui to stay in the hospital after learning about the Maos' direct involvement in their son's kidnapping.
She already suspected that they were involved in the kidnapping, but after confirming that she was indeed right, it was still a huge blow to her.
Not just to her, but to everyone else.
Just looking at Long Hui's face was enough to trigger her fury, so she did her best to ignore his existence.
It was only because he was Little Jun's biological father and their son might look for him that she was even allowing him to stay. If not for this, she would have already chased him out and forbidden him to see their child ever again.
Back to the present, Grandpa Lu arrived with Long Jinjing and Chen Fei.
