In that instant, the smile on Jiang Yixia's face froze.
"Mom! What happened? Is it serious?" Her voice shot up, and her palms started to sweat.
Pan Lanfang whimpered on the other end. "I was just out working in the fields... I accidentally stepped on a rock... my ankle's swollen up huge... it hurts so bad..."
Jiang Yixia was frantic. She quickly asked, "Where's Dad? Isn't he home? Did you go to the hospital?"
"Your dad went to the village entrance to buy medicine... I told him not to go, but he insisted... I'm just lying here at home all alone..." Pan Lanfang's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if she was in too much pain to speak.
Jiang Yixia's heart tightened. She said immediately, "Mom, don't move. I'm coming back right now! Immediately!"
After hanging up, she scrambled to pack her things. Without even bothering to properly close up her shop, she jumped on her electric scooter and rushed to the station.
