Chapter 914: Please Help Me
“You kids only know how to make the adults worry.” Mrs Lu sighed. When she saw that Jiang Yao was not worried, she did not ask any more questions.
Jiang Yao smiled and was about to eat when the cell phone in her pocket rang. She looked at the number and recognized that it was the same number that Zhou Xiaoxia had called her previously.
The courtyard was noisy, so Jiang Yao went a little further outside to answer the call.
“Xiaoxia, what’s the matter?” Jiang Yao asked.
She did not expect she would hear Zhou Xiaoxia’s broken cries from the other side of the call. “Jiang Yao, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have called you on your brother’s wedding day, but I have no choice. I don’t know who else to ask for help other than you. Jiang Yao, I beg you; can you help me?”
Jiang Yao had always thought of Zhou Xiaoxia as a carefree girl from the north. She also had a humorous side to her personality; she would laugh at the weakest joke for a very long time. That was the first time Jiang Yao had heard her cry.
“What happened? Calm down and tell me about it.” Jiang Yao comforted her gently. “If I can help you, then I will do it. Don’t be upset. Tell me slowly.”
“My sister—” Zhou Xiaoxia cried even louder when she said that; she did not know what to say. “When I came back, I found out that an animal had abused my sister. However, the other party was too powerful; they didn’t allow our family to call the police. My parents were in the hospital because of this matter. My brother has also been taken to the police station because he hit someone.”
Jiang Yao was stunned to hear that. It seemed like that was the matter Zhou Xiaoxia needed help with when she called to wish her a happy new year. She must have been too embarra.s.sed to say anything, so she found a lame excuse and hung up the call.
“Jiang Yao, do you know how my sister is now? She doesn’t allow anyone to get close to her. When she sees a strange man, she will scream like a crazy person. She held onto my hand the whole day, and she won’t let go. If I have to go to the bathroom, she’ll wait for me at the door. I can’t take it anymore; I have to sue that b*stard! Since you are the Divine Doctor’s student, perhaps you can examine her for signs of a.s.sault. You’re a girl, and you’re my cla.s.smate. I’ll tell my sister properly; she might let you get close to her.”
“Very well! Tell me your home address. I’ll book a flight and go to you tomorrow,” Jiang Yao agreed without hesitation.
However, she did not tell Zhou Xiaoxia that she was not an official doctor in the hospital yet. Furthermore, if her sister had to go through the judicial process, she could not simply find a doctor to verify it.
However, Zhou Xiaoxia seemed to be out of her mind then. She must have made up her mind to ask for her help. Therefore, she had to go to her. Even if she had to go there to accompany Zhou Xiaoxia, at least there were some things that she could help with. It was not as if Zhou Xiaoxia did not even have a backbone and ran around like a headless chicken.
“Jiang Yao, thank you. Thank you so much.” After Zhou Xiaoxia gave her the address, she thanked Jiang Yao repeatedly. She was afraid that she would delay the wedding banquet, so she did not keep Jiang Yao long before she hung up the call.
