After ringing the second time, someone answered the call. "…Ryu?.... is that you…..?" The owner o this voice was confused and perplexed.
He definitely knew that his friend Professor Ryuren was dead. Aside from him, no one knew this number. If it wasn't him, who could call him?
"Hello, I want to talk to Nick." Little Lanie didn't have the mind to think of anything. She directly went to the point.
"…Who are you?" The tone became sharper.
"…Please save my mama and little brother." At this point, she started to weep. She tried to hide it, being stubborn, didn't want other watching her cry. But she was really scared. She didn't want to lose her mother and unborn little brother.
Hearing her cry, his tone became softer. "Who are you to Ryu?"
She replied while wiping her nose. "He is my papa. He… he said if I'm in danger I should call this number. Are you Nick?"
Nick finally understood everything. He heard that Ryu's wife was pregnant with a son. "I am.… What happened to your mama and little brother? Where are you?"
"I'm in a hospital. Something happened to mama. Mama… mama is hurt. Mama is in pain. Mama is crying." Thinking of Zhuan Zhen's situation, tears rolled down from her cheek.

'This must be a deliberate accident. Someone is trying to harm the whole family.' He thought.
Little Lan shook her head. "I-I don't know."
Nick realized that he was talking to a three years old child. He called himself down and told her, "Ask someone who is beside you."
Little girl looked around and saw a nurse coming out of her mother's room. She grabbed the nurse. She stretched out her hand to the nurse with the cell phone and requested, "Please talk to him."
Looking at her crying face, the nurse's heart melted. She took the cell phone and said, "Hello."
Nick noticed the difference between the previous and present voices and asked, "Which hospital is it?"
"This is Tianjin First Central Hospital." The nurse replied.
Nick wanted to who he was talking to. "And you are?"
The nurse glanced at the girl before replying, "I'm the nurse of the patient that's the girl's mother."
Nick immediately asked, "How's her condition?"
"We can't save her. She is dying." The nurse replied. Her answer was faster than usual.
Nick frowned. "I see." After that he hung up.
The nurse gave little Lanie her cell phone back. "He hung up." Saying that, the nurse turned around and left.
Little Lanie looked at the cell phone. She absentmindedly gazed at it for a few seconds. After that, she thought that she needed to call someone else. Thus, she opened her diary to call another number.
Just that, there was text showed up in the screen; from the previous number she called. She blinked before opening the text.
It said: 'A grey mask doctor will come and save your mama and little brother. Stay with him. Don't let anyone know.'
After reading the text at first, little Lanie didn't understand anything. Her head was already in a mess. She read it again and again till the grey masked man came and knocked her forehead.
Touching her forehead, she looked up and saw a grey masked doctor. She opened her mouth to say something, but the man put his index finger over his lips signaling her not to talk. Then, she realized what that text meant. She silently nodded and tugged his sleeve and pointed out to the room where her mother was crying in pain.
In the room, there was no doctor or nurse. Zhuan Zhen had been crying but there was no one to help her. She was left there to die in pain. The neighbor gave some money to the hospital and left silently without staying with them. So did the police. The driver who hit Zhuan Zhen was nowhere to be found. Everything seemed to be a well-planned assassination.

Zhuan Zhen froze for a second before nodding. Pearls like tears were very beautiful in such pitiful eyes.
That guy put the oxygen cylinder and the tiny doll on the bed and covered Zhuan Zhen and the cylinder with the white cover.
Little Lanie was uncomfortable, as a result she began moving.
The grey masked guy warned her, "Stop moving."
He touched his right ear and softly said, "Everything is ready."
After that, there was a fire alarm. People began to scream and run. Within two minutes, the floor was covered in smoke.
Then, he pushed the bed out of the room. Since everyone was busy saving themselves, so one cared about a doctor pushing the bed out. After all, he wasn't the only one who was going that only.
After that, he took the bed out of the hospital without any problem and put it on the ambulance. Then, he took off the cover and revealed mother and daughter pair.
Little Lanie opened her eyes and saw two men and a woman were looking at them.
The masked man took off the mask. He had brown hair and a pair of olive colored eyes. Another man had blonde hair and a pair of blue eyes. And the girl had red hair and a pair of green eyes. None of them were Chinese.
The brown haired man carried little Lanie and put her down on the ambulance. He told her, "I'm Nero. The other guy is Nick and the woman in Nala. We are your father's friends. We will protect your mother. Right now, all you have to do it close your eyes and cover your ears. Got it?" He showed her how to cover her ears and eyes.
