When the driver saw a little boy and a cat in the middle of the road, he made an emergency brake.
Nevertheless, it was too late. Even though the car had slowed down drastically, it still ran into Jamie.
Jamie's little body was sent flying in the air before falling a few meters away, after which he was totally motionless
“Ahhhh—” Ellie covered her face and screamed in shock.
“Jamie, Ellie!” Robbie quickly rushed over.
In the car, the stunned driver was rooted to his seat while the man on the passenger's seat was more composed. “We've made an emergency brake, so it must've been the inertial force. The boy should be alright. Call the ambulance right now.”
“Yes.” The driver quickly dialed the emergency number.
“What happened?” A deep and aged voice came from the backseat.
“Mr. Nacht, our car has hit a little boy, and we're now calling the ambulance,” Spencer, who was sitting in the passenger seat, replied.
“Jamie!” Robbie hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Jamie lying in a pool of blood, he shouted frantically, “Help! Help—”
“Sob... Jamie, sob sob...”
Ellie was quivering in fear and wailing on the roadside.
The window of the backseat was lowered, and old Mr. Nacht popped his head out, looking at the little boy lying in the middle of the road with a lot of blood trailing from his head.
Another little boy was holding the injured boy and shouting for help while a little girl was crying at the side.
This scene made old Mr. Nacht's heart throb at once.
The old man got out of the car himself and walked over to them with his crutch. He hovered his hand over Jamie's nose to check his breathing and then ordered, “Don't wait for the ambulance. Carry the children into the car and head to the hospital immediately.”
“Yes.”
...
It was already 3.40 p.m., and Charlotte was still in the cab. She was worried that something would happen to the children, so she made a call to Lexie. “Ms. Cheney, Mrs. Berry is ill, so she can't pick the kids up. I'm on my way, please—”
