Chapter 481 - 326: Car Accident, Amnesia, Incurable! (Part 3)
You damn heartless scoundrel, remember there’s still something you haven’t done yet?! Remember we are waiting for you?
The four women relaxed a bit, exchanging glances, feeling somewhat relieved.
[Looks like it was a real car accident. Just shows that those who walk a wicked path will eventually meet their downfall, serves him right, hmph!]
[Great, he’s not seriously hurt, nothing’s stopping him from making decisions.]
[I told you this jerk wouldn’t lose his memory. It would be too intentional, whether it’s true or not.]
"Peifeng, no rush about the matters at hand."
Zhao Qingge bent over and gently comforted, "First, take care of your injuries..."
"You all don’t crowd around him, and don’t talk to him too much. Let him regain his consciousness first; once he’s awake, we’ll speak again. Also, the patient should first close his eyes and be cautious not to look directly at bright lights."
A male doctor kindly advised, then explained to Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi: "He’s been unconscious for about twelve minutes, likely has a mild concussion and needs a quiet environment." After speaking, he paused, pointed to the four large characters on the wall ahead that said ’Imaging Center’, and said to Li Qiyuan: "Take him for X-rays, one plain X-ray, and a CT scan of the head, both inside there. After that, go to the emergency department to see Dr. Wang. Oh, by the way, the driver at fault hasn’t come, but he has entrusted the insurance to handle everything..."
"Here!"
A young, slim fellow over 1.7 meters tall, wearing a yellow vest from ’Taiping Insurance’, suddenly emerged from behind the group, although it was unclear when he had started following them, holding a fruit basket in his hand.
With an apologetic expression, he spoke first, "The car accident was entirely the driver’s fault, but he’s otherwise occupied and can’t come, so he sent me with some fruit as an apology to the injured party. Medical expenses and lost wages will certainly be covered. You can also tell me about any treatment costs; the insurance can cover them upfront."
"Hmm."
Li Qiyuan frowned and nodded, then asked, "What kind of car? How did it hit someone? What’s the driver’s name?"
As the saying goes, a father knows his son best. Old Li maintained some skepticism about the authenticity of this accident, suspecting that with his understanding of Li Peifeng, the kid might stage an accident to avoid making a choice.
However, upon seeing Li Peifeng injured and unconscious, Li Qiyuan’s doubts were half-dispelled. Seeing him wake up quickly and seemingly unscathed further eroded his reservations. After encountering this insurance representative, almost all his doubts were erased, though a tiny bit remained for him to verify...
"The car was a Mercedes C-Class; the accident happened under the goddess statue in the seaside scenic area. Your son was jogging at the time, and since the lighting was dim nearby, the driver backed up without noticing, hitting him with the rear of the car."
The insurance guy narrated, "According to the driver’s statement, after the car hit, your son fell, rolled twice on the ground due to the impact, suffered only minor scratches, and his clothes tore. Initially, there seemed to be no major issues. He even stood up and spoke to the driver a few times, but less than half a minute later, he suddenly fainted. Upon closer inspection by the driver, he discovered there was bleeding from the head, possibly from hitting the curb while rolling, so he called an ambulance and reported to insurance."
Zhao Qingge suddenly asked, "Was it captured by the dashcam?"
"There wasn’t any footage since it was hit by the rear of the car."
The insurance guy replied, "But the front dashcam recorded the conversation between the two; I have a backup here."
Then the insurance guy reassured, "This driver couldn’t come, hoping you can understand. No one wants such things to happen, and he’s also worried about an agitated response from the victim’s family leading to misunderstandings. So, he entrusted me to handle everything. Rest assured..." He lowered his tone, "To be honest, uncle, the driver is a friend of mine, so compensation can certainly be discussed, and I’ll try to get the highest standard for lost wages!"
Li Qiyuan wasn’t too concerned, but since his son was fine and the other party was polite, with the at-fault driver sending a fruit basket as a gesture, he decided not to investigate further: "Well, can you please pay for the X-rays first?"
"Sure, I’ll arrange it right away. Please take the fruit basket."
"Do you need his ID card? Here you go."
"Okay."
The insurance guy took Li Peifeng’s ID card from Wu Wenyue and was about to head towards the counter when Huang Tianxuan suddenly stopped him, politely smiling, "Excuse me, can I take a look at the dashcam footage of the accident?"
The insurance guy frowned, "That’s feasible, but how are you related to the injured party?"
Huang Tianxuan’s smile stiffened momentarily. Seeing the doctor and medical staff gone, she decisively replied, "I’m his fiancée."
The insurance guy was slightly taken aback, took out his phone, and didn’t refuse: "Then follow me to the emergency department to view it. I need the phone for payments and paperwork."
"Alright!"
Huang Tianxuan gave a signal to the other three and turned to follow the insurance representative.
Meanwhile, the rest continued pushing Li Peifeng towards the CT room for a scan. The medical staff who had been pushing the stretcher earlier had long departed, and the male doctor had returned to the duty room. Simply put, only the injured Li Peifeng’s parents and three girls were by his side now.
The CT scan would have to wait until the insurance representative paid and issued a receipt. During this downtime, Yu Huizhi couldn’t resist the doctor’s instructions and started chatting with her son, who was still lying on the stretcher.
"Fengfeng, how are you feeling now? Are you in pain? Can you open your eyes?"
"..."
Li Peifeng didn’t reply but tentatively removed his hands covering his eyes, yet kept his eyelids tight shut. After about two seconds, seeming to acclimate, he turned his head away from the ceiling lights and slowly opened his eyes.
"Fengfeng!"
Yu Huizhi immediately squatted by the stretcher, tears of joy in her eyes: "How are you, do you still remember who I am?"
Li Peifeng’s eyes gradually focused, and after recognizing the person in front of him, he smiled, his voice stronger than before: "Who are you? You’re Li Qiyuan’s wife."
"Exactly!" Yu Huizhi’s heart set at ease, she stroked Li Peifeng’s head like a well-behaved child’s and joyfully told Li Qiyuan, "Great, Fengfeng didn’t get knocked stupid; he still knows how to joke."
"Even if I’m foolish, he would never be!"
Li Qiyuan, also relieved, maintained his tough demeanor and jested back, then patted Li Peifeng’s shoulder, "So, who is Li Qiyuan to you?"
"Father!" Li Peifeng earnestly replied, "My beloved father, but whether you’re my biological one, I don’t know."
"Get lost!"
Li Qiyuan laughed and cursed, having completely dispelled his worries. Clearly, there wasn’t anything significantly wrong; everything was fine, just fine...
"Dad, Mom, don’t worry, it’s just some minor scratches."
Li Peifeng recovered quickly, chatted briefly with his parents, then sat up from the stretcher. Others tried to stop him, but couldn’t, and Mr. Li even said, "Let’s go home, no need for the scan. I have important matters to attend to, someone is waiting for me, it’s urgent, let’s not delay in the hospital."
"Hey, that’s not necessary!" Xu Manning quickly pressed on Li Peifeng’s shoulder, stopping him from getting off the stretcher, concern evident: "We’re not in a rush about that matter. Get a scan to thoroughly check, just in case there’s an underlying issue?"
Wu Wenyue also reassured, "Right, it won’t delay for that long."
Zhao Qingge succinctly stated, "Stay on the stretcher, wait for the scan."
Li Peifeng was stunned, looking at the three women before him, his eyes darting back and forth, finally cautiously asking, "Sorry, but who are you all?"
"..."
