Chapter 1005: She Wanted to Make a Police Report
He Xiyan dug out a packet of tissue from her purse and wiped at the blood flowing from her hand but she couldn’t staunch the blood flow because her wound was so deep that she could even see the flesh under her skin.
It hurt so much that beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead and her face turned pale in a matter of a few seconds.
An elderly man who was pa.s.sing by noticed her condition and quickly ran over to lend aid.
“What’s wrong? What happened…” he asked as he stared at her wound.
He immediately pulled off the towel around his neck that was meant for wiping his perspiration away, placed it on her wound and fas.h.i.+oned it into a simple bandage.
“You should go to the hospital because you’re bleeding so profusely,” he said worriedly and already took out his phone to call the ambulance.
He Xiyan was in such pain that she could barely speak.
“It…was a robbery….someone on an electric bicycle,” she said with a shaking voice.
“It’s okay. Calm down. The person on the electric bike has disappeared so we should head to the hospital first,” he said. Then, he hailed a taxi from the street.
He Xiyan got into the taxi. She had driven over and her car was parked just several hundred meters away but she didn’t have the time to walk over, neither was she able to drive.
The taxi immediately sped up when he saw that his pa.s.senger was injured and headed to the nearest hospital that was 3 kilometers away.
He Xiyan’s face paled further and she felt her strength drain bit by bit because she had lost so much blood. She looked very tired and her left hand that held her mobile phone couldn’t stop shaking.
“h.e.l.lo…is this the police?” She asked after she dialed 110!
“h.e.l.lo, you’ve reached XX police station,” the person on the other end said.
“h.e.l.lo, I’d like to make a police report. I was robbed while I was at 2nd Avenue of Helan Road by the side of Lanjiang. The robber wounded me with his knife and attempted to s.n.a.t.c.h my purse,” she said as she gasped for use. She sounded very weak and her complexion paled even further because she was in such pain; she looked as though she was about to faint at any moment.
“h.e.l.lo, may I know if you’re badly injured? If you are, I’ll help you call the emergency ambulance,” the police officer said because he could tell that she sounded very weak.
He Xiyan replied, “I’m making my way to the hospital as we speak. Officer, please try to arrest the robber as soon as possible. He was so scary and is in possession of a knife.” She couldn’t believe what had happened earlier for she had been injured before she even knew it. Thankfully, the robber had only tugged on her purse but had not managed to get away with stealing her purse.
She wasn’t carrying a lot of money nor valuable accessories but her purse contained several important doc.u.ments and almost all her identification doc.u.ments.
“Noted, we will dispatch an officer to the hospital and he will be in touch with you,” a police officer said.
He Xiyan was sent to the third hospital in Ye City and the elderly man who brought her to the hospital was very helpful. He even helped her with the patient registration process.
Soon, it was a turn to see the doctor.
The doctor looked at her wound and disinfected her wound after he found out about the situation from her. She had to get eight st.i.tches and a teta.n.u.s jab.
She wasn’t given any anesthetic when the doctor st.i.tched her up and it had hurt so badly that her brows knitted tightly together. She clenched her jaw and tears rolled down her cheeks. Fortunately, her wound finally stopped bleeding after the doctor finished st.i.tching it up.
“Alright, you should look after the wound when you get home. Avoid getting any moisture on your st.i.tches. Change the dressing once a day and clean it with iodine. Additionally, you should avoid eating anything spicy in the next two weeks and stick to a lighter palette. You should also come back for a check-up in a week’s time,” he said.
