Gripping the steering wheel, Zhou Jiami finally had no choice but to drive the car toward the hospital.
When the car arrived at the hospital, Zhou Jiami spoke, her voice cold and hard: "We're at the hospital. Get out!"
There was no response from the person in the back seat. Zhou Jiami couldn't help but speak again: "Bai Tang, get out. We're at the hospital!"
But the person behind her had already lost consciousness.
After sending him into the operating room, Zhou Jiami stood outside, feeling utterly drained as she slumped to the floor.
She was still afraid that Bai Tang might actually die.
Even if Bai Tang was utterly useless, if he really died, the Bai family wouldn't let it go easily—they would definitely come after her.
No matter what, Bai Tang was still the eldest daughter of the Bai family!
Zhou Jiami was starting to get scared, even wanting to flee the country right then and there!
But if she ran away, what would happen to her family?
The Bai family would surely do something to them!
With no other choice, Zhou Jiami could only wait.
After a three-hour surgery, the doctor came out. Zhou Jiami looked at him anxiously and asked, "Doctor, how is she?"
"Multiple fractures and a severe blow to the head causing a concussion, but nothing life-threatening. She'll recover gradually with a few days of rest..."
Knowing he was fine, Zhou Jiami breathed a sigh of relief.
She had planned to leave, but she wanted to see him with her own eyes to be sure, so when he was moved to the ward, Zhou Jiami followed.
"You're here?" Bai Li spoke.
Zhou Jiami was startled and nodded instinctively, then frowned, reverting to her usual haughty demeanor: "Since you're not dead, I'm leaving!"
"Wait!" Bai Li said.
Zhou Jiami looked at him and asked, "Something?"
"Take a few days off for me at school."
Zhou Jiami paused, then nodded again: "Anything else?"
"No, you can go now," Bai Li said.
Zhou Jiami glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.
After she was gone, Bai Li lay on the hospital bed, her mind blank, finally having the chance to sort out the current situation.
Bai Tang, though the eldest daughter of the Bai family, had lost her mother in a car accident when she was fifteen. After that, her father married the woman he had been keeping outside, who had a daughter born just a few hours after Bai Tang.
Her father was completely devoted to that stepmother and felt he owed the other daughter, so he poured most of his attention into her.
Bai Tang, naturally unhappy, tried to compete for affection but was repeatedly set up by that white-lotus sister and scheming stepmother, causing her father to give all his love to that sister.
Bai Tang became increasingly rebellious, and being naive and not very sharp, she was often manipulated.
In her father's eyes, Bai Tang was clearly a lost cause, and he had completely given up on her.
That white-lotus sister, on the other hand, was always outstanding and became her father's pride. Over the years, the outside world only knew of the Bai family's younger daughter, unaware that Bai Tang was the eldest.
As for Bai Tang, her father only deposited some living expenses into her account each month and otherwise ignored her completely.
Lying in bed, Bai Li was relieved that her father hadn't shown up.
Now, the original owner had died in a car accident, and she herself had fallen off a cliff, her body probably already decomposed.
Who was so eager to harm her?
Bai Tang... sigh...
Bai Li accepted her new identity as Bai Tang. After all, she had always adapted to circumstances, and this new identity might actually make it easier for her to act in the future.
