Prayer

Gao Han reached into his wallet, hesitantly taking out a strange ♕-shaped pendant tied to a black string. It had a pearly luster of cats-eye moonstone. A family heirloom that his father called a protective amulet that brought safety to the family. It fell into his hands when his parents heard he was going to strike it alone in a big city, and was worried about his health and safety. Perhaps it really worked for he had never become sick during his stay of several years in this place. Since it protected the family, this little amulet would have no trouble passing on good luck to a sick kid, right? Gao Han placed the string around little Su's neck and sighed. He wasn't a doctor. The things he could do now were very little. But for what can be done, he will do his best.

Taking a determined step out of the room, he accessed the internet on his phone searching for the number of the nearest police station. When the call connected, a rough voice asked, "I am inspector Wang Botian. How can I help you?" Gao Han carefully detailed today's matters in brief. "I would like you to check the current location of her parents and inform them about the condition," he straightforwardly requested.

On the other end of the line, Wang Botian frowned. A child left all alone, and no sight of parents in almost two days. There wasn't a good feeling about this. Usually these types of cases were handled by his juniors; in fact, even answering the phone just now had been on a whim since the guy who handled the calls just went out for lunch. But he felt bad about Gao Han's dilemma as well, and decided to help out. "We will check on this, and get back to you. You said you are at T Hospital, right? Give me her ward number and her home address. Oh, your address as well." After dealing with the details, the call ended. Gao Han went down to the hospital canteen to grab a sandwich and drink, while Inspector Wang called up his colleagues to check CCTVs and make inquiries.
