Yu Lili reached out to check the old lady's breathing and found that it was extremely weak. Suddenly, the old lady reacted violently and grabbed Yu Lili's hand from under her nose. The sudden movement frightened Yu Lili. She looked at the old lady who had suddenly come alive.

Yu Lili was about to say something when she noticed that the old lady's eyes were almost closed again. The old lady struggled to get out the words, "Help… me…"

Yu Lili froze in shock. She watched as the old lady turned her eyes and fell back asleep. Still frightened, Yu Lili bent down to check the old lady's heartbeat. She was relieved to find that, although it was weak, it was still beating.

Yu Lili helped the old lady to her feet and shouted, "Can someone help me? There is something wrong with this lady! Where is the closest hospital and how do I get there?"

"Go straight and turn left at the crossing," a woman shouted from seemingly nowhere.

Yu Lili tried to carry the old lady on her shoulder as no one was willing to help her.

That's bitterly disappointing…

She half-dragged, half-carried the old lad, to the hospital. When they arrived, a nurse immediately took the old lady to get some first aid.

The doctor gave the old lady's things to Yu Lili. She found out that the old lady was quite tech-savvy for her age as she had the newest iPhone. It was the same model as Yu Lili's phone.

Surprisingly, there had no password. Yu Lili looked through the address book and quickly found the lady's family because each person was labeled as something obvious such as Husband, Son, Grandson, and so on. Yu Lili decided to call the old lady's son.

The phone number belonged to Capital. Yu Lili was surprised when the old lady's son picked up right away and said, "Hello, Mom, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time!"

He sounded like a middle-aged man and had a clear, northern accent.

Yu Lili was embarrassed for being called 'mom' by someone so much older than her, but she ignored the feeling and said, "I believe your mother just fainted on the sidewalk…"

However, Yu Lili was interrupted by worried questions from the other side of the phone. The only words she could understand were, "What? Fainted?"

Yu Lili was nervous at the sudden change in his voice, and then it stopped altogether. After a few moments, the voice came through loud and clear and asked, "Where are you now?"

"I brought her to the hospital. The address is 2nd People's Hospital of Kingstown. She is still in the emergency room…"

"Kingstown? How did she get to Kingstown? The old woman is too restless for her own good!"

Yu Lili said nothing. Old woman… Is this the tone he always uses when he talks about his mother?

"Wait, I'll call my daughter and have her go there. Will you give me your phone number?"

"Ah… My number? Why do you want my phone number? Just have her come to the hospital." Yu Lili had a bad feeling.

"Hey girl, you have to help me save my mother. The old lady is not very good at thinking, so when she wakes up, I need you to stay with her. Please leave a phone number so that I can find you easily!"

"There's no need to do that. I have no money. Besides, the hospital can find me for medical expenses later. I'd better go. I'll leave her things at the front desk, just have your daughter come soon."

"Girl…" He was still shouting on the other end of the call, but Yu Lili was too scared to hang up the phone.

Yu Lili left everything at the front desk. There was a lot of money in the old lady's wallet. Surely she enough there to pay for the medical bill. She also explained to the nurse, that the old lady's granddaughter should be there soon. With that, she turned to leave the hospital.
