Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 397 Xingxing Disappeared

Lin Zhiyi bolted out as soon as she heard about the incident at the kindergarten, not stopping for anything else.

Li Huan and Liao Yi followed close behind.

"How could there be a car accident at a kindergarten?"

"The kindergarten is built downhill. When the tour bus came down, the driver, for some reason, didn’t brake and plowed straight into the kindergarten. At that moment, there were lots of kids participating in activities... hey, wait for me!"

Li Huan, being a doctor, instinctively knew from Liao Yi’s brief account that it was a serious accident.

At the scene, a tour bus had smashed into the kindergarten wall, with the front of the bus completely inside the playground and only the rear hanging precariously.

Many nearby residents were already helping.

Children, crying uncontrollably, were being carried out one after another.

Lin Zhiyi rushed forward and grabbed a child clutching their arm—it was one of Xingxing’s classmates.

"Where’s Xingxing?"

The child froze, unable to speak through their sobbing.

A parent, anxious for their own child, pushed Lin Zhiyi aside. "I don’t know! There are still people trapped up ahead."

Lin Zhiyi stood frozen in shock, her mind racing, willing her body to move, but she couldn’t.

By the time she came to herself, she was knocked to the ground by another panicked parent.

The thought that Xingxing might be trapped beneath the bus made her crawl and stagger her way into the kindergarten.

She didn’t even know how many feet had trampled her hands, but she felt no pain at all.

"Xingxing, Mommy’s here... I won’t let anything happen to you..."

"Lin Zhiyi!" Li Huan pushed through the crowd toward her.

"Zhiyi." Liao Yi stumbled after them.

Finally, a parent who recognized Lin Zhiyi helped her up.

The two exchanged a glance, both pale as ghosts, unable to shed even a single tear.

"We’ll go together, Xingxing’s mom."

"Okay."

Leaning on each other for support, they moved forward. The principal and teachers were trying to restore order.

The bus had been partially blocked by the wall before crashing into the play area, striking a climbing frame constructed for the students.

Thankfully, when the frame collapsed, it formed a sturdy triangular space.

Many children had survived because of that.

But those caught between the bus and the trees weren’t as lucky.

The remaining space was steadily being squeezed as the suspended bus threatened to fully drop, and once it did, the children trapped in the gap would be crushed.

Crying could be heard from within.

Almost everyone was at the front, trying to hold the bus steady until the fire department arrived.

The parent supporting Lin Zhiyi let go of her and rushed to embrace their own unharmed child.

Watching the number of children around her dwindle, Lin Zhiyi tore at her throat, screaming Xingxing’s name.

But there was no response.

Her gaze, full of despair, settled on that crying-filled gap ahead.

There was no time for sorrow—she threw herself into helping lift the bus.

Just then, Li Huan and Liao Yi arrived.

Li Huan asked no questions, rushing straight to the gap and kneeling down to assess the situation.

He quickly shouted, "I’m a doctor! Please don’t just exert brute force to lift the bus; keep it stable. There are injured people inside, and if the pressure shifts randomly, we might save one but hurt another."

The crowd immediately stopped blindly pushing upwards. The crying inside seemed to quiet down slightly.

Li Huan moved closer to the gap and called in to assess. He turned back and relayed, "There’s a teacher inside. The children are currently unharmed."

The crowd heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Soon, the firefighters arrived. Carefully stabilizing the bus, they began rescuing the trapped one by one.

Lin Zhiyi rushed forward, but she still didn’t see Xingxing anywhere.

"Where’s Xingxing? Xingxing!" she cried weakly, feeling the world spin around her.

Until she spotted one of Xingxing’s shoes left near the impacted area, alongside a large pool of blood.

Trembling, she staggered forward and picked up the shoe, spotting Xingxing’s name stuck to the heel.

Xingxing.

At that moment, a teacher maintaining order hurried over.

"Xingxing’s mom, Xingxing isn’t here. The most severely injured children were sent to the city hospital in the first batch," the teacher said quickly.

"Severely injured?" Lin Zhiyi’s voice shook uncontrollably.

The teacher pressed her lips together. "The principal has already gone there. You should go check, too."

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to turn, her legs gave out beneath her.

Li Huan caught her immediately. "I’ll take you to the hospital."

She held back her tears and nodded.

At the hospital, following a nurse’s directions, Lin Zhiyi found the floor where the kindergarten’s injured were brought.

Among the crowd, she instantly spotted Xingxing’s teacher.

"Teacher, where’s Xingxing? Is she okay?"

"Xingxing’s fine. When I led her to safety, I got caught up in rushing to help the injured and brought her along with me," the teacher explained.

"Where is she?" Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief but urgently pressed on.

The teacher pointed to a bench. "She’s right there... wait, where’s Xingxing? I just told her to stay here and wait for me."

Looking at the empty bench, Lin Zhiyi felt as if the sky was collapsing.

Li Huan and Liao Yi quickly grabbed hold of her to steady her.

"If a child is wandering around the hospital, a doctor or nurse will definitely notice. Let’s split up and search," Li Huan suggested.

"Okay."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiyi ran toward the nearby stairwell.

Xingxing wouldn’t take the elevator alone; she was most likely headed downstairs by the stairs.

...

At the hospital.

"Mr. Gong, we saw your contact information in a blood donor volunteer group. A kindergarten in Gang City suffered an accident, and there’s an urgent need for blood donations. Since you’re in Gang City, could you come to the city hospital if convenient?"

For a long time, Gong Chen had recurring dreams of Xingxing lying on an operating table, covered in blood.

Even though he knew it was just a dream, he had joined a blood donation group under an alias.

But after being drugged by Ye Feifei, he was no longer a suitable donor.

Seeing the words "kindergarten" in the message still reminded him of Xingxing, so he asked Chen Jin to take him to the hospital to check.

If the situation was severe, he was willing to cover all the treatment costs for the injured.

There were over a dozen injured people, three of them critically injured, but the only blessing was that no children had died.

Hearing the cries of parents in the hallway, Gong Chen glanced at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin nodded. "I’ll contact the hospital and the families of the injured."

Gong Chen turned to go downstairs, unexpectedly entering an elevator about to go up. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

In the elevator were only two people, a couple.

The woman was heavily pregnant, leaning weakly against the man, clearly in discomfort.

Gong Chen moved aside, giving them more space.

Suddenly, the woman cried out, and water pooled under her dress.

"My water broke. I think the baby’s coming," she gasped.

"What? What should I do? Honey, hold on, we’re almost there," the man said, panicked and flustered.

"It hurts so much... I can’t stand..."

Seeing her about to collapse to the floor, the man seemed completely lost, drenched in sweat.

Without hesitation, Gong Chen took off his coat and placed it on the floor for her to sit on.

He gently touched the woman’s belly. "Take deep breaths. It’s not time yet."

"Are you a doctor?" the man asked, desperate.

"No."

"Then how do you know?"

"I’ve read some books." Gong Chen silently counted contractions, then changed the subject. "Don’t let your wife exert herself now. Talk to her, distract her attention."

The man nodded quickly, taking out a small box from his inner pocket.

"Honey, I ordered your favorite necklace. I had it custom-made by Miss Lin. I was going to give it to you after the baby was born, but here, I’ll give it to you now. You’ll get through this, I promise."

The woman’s attention was visibly drawn. Seeing the beautiful necklace, she nodded. "I love it... ah..."

At the same time, Gong Chen’s gaze was also caught by the necklace inside the box.
