She didn't call out for her mom, and Su Lan's heart sank. She propped herself up, "Xiao Ran, mom is in the hospital now."
Tong Ran clenched her right hand, "Hospital?"
"I was beaten at the Mo Family's place, they... they accused me of theft..." Su Lan said a couple of words and began coughing, her speech was broken and difficult, "They're preparing for surgery today, if it doesn't succeed, I might... might have to amputate..."
"Amputate?" Tong Ran squinted slightly as she walked to the balcony, "Who hit you?"
"It was the maids at the Mo Family's, mom's life here is not fit for a human, that last incident, mom was forced," Su Lan sighed heavily, her tone apologetic, "If mom doesn't call you out, they'd say they'll make your dad die in prison, could I just watch that happen?"
Tong Ran lowered her gaze and said nothing.
