The three of them immediately chased after the thief upon spotting her. The thief didn’t run very fast; instead, she headed towards a less crowded area. The pedestrians on the street, hearing their shouts, didn’t react in time.
Yun shouted at the girl running ahead, “Stop chasing! Just call the police!”
Li Shuangshuang finally stopped, panting heavily as she returned, while another one lagged behind. Yun took out her phone to call the police and walked back.
Li Shuangshuang looked around, cursing under her breath, “What’s wrong with people these days? How can they be so brazen about stealing?”
“Just wait until I catch you; I’ll make sure to tear you apart!” she spat in the direction where the thief had vanished.
Yun held the phone to her ear when suddenly she heard a car roaring from her right. She turned just in time to see the vehicle speeding towards her. Her eyes widened in shock, but fortunately, the car slammed on its brakes with a screech right beside her.
The phone slipped from her hand, and in that instant, her legs went weak, causing her to lose balance and fall.
Li Shuangshuang’s heart raced as she hurried over, watching the car make a sharp turn and drive away. She caught a glimpse of a van without a license plate.
Yun fainted from the shock, prompting Li Shuangshuang to quickly dial for help.
When Yun regained consciousness, she saw Deng Ting’s worried and haggard face hovering over her.
“Mom?”
The smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils; she realized she was in a hospital.
Deng Ting cried as she spoke, “Hao Hao, are you feeling any discomfort? Tell me if anything hurts.”
Yun sat up slowly. “I’m fine. Mom, why are you here?”
“I got a call from your teacher saying you were in an accident, so I rushed over.”
Seeing Deng Ting so distressed made Yun bite her lip. “Mom, I’m okay. It’s just that my legs feel a bit weak and numb for some reason.”
The doctor said there might be some trauma, and when he wakes up, his legs might be numb, but it will get better after a while.
Yun let out a sigh of relief; at least that was good news. However, when her father mentioned Deng Ting, he cried even harder.
Yun's heart raced with anxiety. What happened to Dad?
Jiang Shiyu received the news and booked the earliest flight, but he still had to wait until the next morning to catch a flight. He rushed to the airport, looking disheveled with messy hair and bloodshot eyes from spending the night there.
As he reached the entrance, he could hear Yun's worried voice rising in volume.
"Your dad was in a car accident two days ago. His leg is saved, but he can't engage in strenuous activities or continue dancing."
Deng Ting's voice trembled as she spoke, unable to contain her emotions any longer.
Yun's face turned pale, devoid of color. Her father loved dancing so much; even if he became a manager and no longer danced himself, he would still jump in whenever he could.
Not being able to dance meant losing one's hands and the ability to walk independently for a dancer. Tears streamed down her face as she choked on her disbelief: "How could this happen?"
The person who hit your dad was driving under the influence; it was entirely their fault, and they could have been sued.
Their family came to plead for your dad’s forgiveness; they weren't well-off and had two children to support, one of whom had leukemia. Your dad said it was fine.
The mother and daughter embraced and cried together.
Jiang Shiyu stood outside, listening with his head bowed, his palms gradually clenching tighter. He turned and left the place.
