Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 73 Guan Qing's mother faints

Guan Yu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing his explanation, but she still forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "Oh dear, don't talk nonsense. How could Brother Shen Chen be that kind of person?"

Feng Ming wanted to retort a few more times, but before he could speak, Guan Yu interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, stop talking, I'm so sleepy, I need to go to sleep for a while."

After saying that, Guan Yu yawned with her mouth wide open and dragged her heavy steps toward the room.

Feng Ming watched Guan Yu's retreating figure, then shook his head helplessly, sighed, and muttered to himself, "That girl, there's just no way to deal with her."

Then, he turned around and slowly walked towards his room.

Meanwhile, Guan Qing couldn't wait to go out early in the morning to look for part-time work. Full of hope, she wandered through the streets and alleys, constantly asking various shops if they needed help.

Finally, hard work pays off, and after some effort, I finally landed a part-time job at a cozy restaurant.

Guan Qing happily embarked on his journey home, imagining the look of relief and joy on his mother's face when he told her the good news.

As she excitedly pushed open the door, she called out as usual, "Mom, I'm home!"

However, this time she did not receive her mother's familiar and warm response.

Guan Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled. She carefully put down her backpack and slowly walked towards her mother's room.

The moment she gently pushed open the door, the sight before her froze her in shock—her mother lay motionless on the floor.

Guan Qing's face turned deathly pale instantly. She was terrified, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

She staggered to her mother's side, grabbed her tightly with both hands, and called out her mother's name with all her might.

But no matter how much she called out, her mother kept her eyes tightly closed and did not respond.

Guan Qing was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She felt incredibly helpless and panicked. In her frantic state, she remembered that she needed to dial 120 for emergency medical assistance immediately.

She frantically groped for her phone, finally managing to pull it out of her pocket, and her fingers trembling as she dialed the life-saving number.

However, every second at this moment felt incredibly long and agonizing to Guan Qing.

As she anxiously awaited the arrival of the ambulance, she stared intently at her mother's pale face, her heart filled with fear and worry.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Guan Qing hurriedly found Li Yuan's phone number and dialed it without hesitation.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Guan Qing was in despair and had no idea what to do; his mind was completely blank.

Just then, she suddenly remembered that she could ask Chen Feng for help, so she quickly dialed Chen Feng's number again.

The call was answered quickly. As soon as Chen Feng saw Guan Qing's caller ID on the screen, he froze, seemingly not expecting her to contact him first.

However, before he could even speak, he heard Guan Qing's heart-wrenching sobs coming from the other end of the phone: "Chen Feng, I... my mother fainted..."

Upon hearing this news, Chen Feng was startled. He immediately comforted Guan Qing, telling her to calm down and that he would be there soon.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng quickly put on his coat, rushed out of the house, and sped towards Guan Qing's house, not forgetting to notify Shen Jia and the others.

When Chen Feng arrived, the ambulance had just arrived as well. The doctors lifted Guan Qing's mother onto a stretcher and took her to the hospital.

Chen Feng quickly ran to Guan Qing's side and comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie will be fine."

The moment she saw Chen Feng appear, she felt a sense of security and her fear subsided.

In the hospital corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, Chen Feng and Guan Qing were anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.

Their eyes were fixed on the closed door, which was lit with a distressing red light.

Guan Qing's gaze never left the red light. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her heart felt uneasy as if it were being gnawed at by countless ants.

Every minute and every second was torture for her; she didn't know how her mother was doing in the emergency room.

The next second, the extreme tension and fear finally became unbearable for her. Her legs went weak, she squatted down, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

She was terrified of losing her mother, because her mother was her only source of emotional support in the world! She couldn't imagine how she would face the future if her mother were gone.

Standing to the side, Chen Feng felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing Guan Qing in such pain.

He knew how important her mother was to Guan Qing, so he slowly moved his feet, walked up to Guan Qing, and then without hesitation stretched out his arms and gently embraced her.

He lowered his head and whispered comfortingly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be alright."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's warm and firm words, Guan Qing's previously tense heartstrings snapped instantly, and all her grievances, fears, and helplessness poured out at once.

She could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears in Chen Feng's arms.

Chen Feng stood there quietly, gently patting her back, as if trying to convey comfort and courage to her with his own strength.

A while later, a series of hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

It turned out that Shen Jia, Guan Yu, and Chen Fang had rushed over in a hurry. Each of them had a look of anxiety on their face and fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.

(Why was Chen Fang there too? Because Chen Fang happened to be next to Shen Jia when Chen Feng was on the phone.)

As soon as Shen Jia and the others arrived, they couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, calmed himself down a bit, and then briefly recounted what had happened to them.

Shen Jia and Guan Yu walked up to Guan Qing, then hugged her and gently comforted her.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the person inside to come out, while also feeling worried about Guan Qing's mother's condition.

Time ticked by, and finally, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor came out.

The crowd rushed over, anxiously inquiring about the patient's condition. The doctor looked at them and asked with a serious expression, "Who is the patient's family member?"

"I am, I am her daughter!" Upon hearing the doctor's deep and serious words, Guan Qing responded immediately and decisively.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and unease.

The doctor gazed silently at the slender woman before him, who was putting on a brave front, his brows furrowing slightly as if he were carefully choosing his words.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "Child, you need to be fully prepared mentally."

Although his voice was soft, every word seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of everyone present.
