A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 218: Maddison's Tragedy.

You Xi Wang was shocked to see Maddison in such a condition. She was sitting in a derelict alley with her hair scattered all over the place. Her clothes were dirty. You Xi Wang quickly drove the car to the side of the road and disembarked the vehicle with his sister. The two people then ushered over to where Maddison was. 

You Xi Wang let You Zhichi make the first contact as he stood at the side. He glanced at his teacher, who at this moment was nothing like her usual cheerful self. Her vacant eye kept staring in the void blankly, her swollen face was devoid of expression, her messy hair scattered all overlooking dirty. All this told half the story but the other half was for Maddison to speak about. You Zhichi kneeled down in front of Maddison and called her name, "Teacher, Teacher Maddison. Can you hear me?"

Her crisp and soft voice seems to have woke up Maddison. The golden-haired lady raised her head. She saw You Zhichi talking to her and she spoke with a faint smile, "Zhichi, why are you here? Go, rush to the school. I will be fine, Clarke will be here in a few minutes to pick me up." yet her eyes were still without the light of consciousness.

You Zhichi knew something was wrong, she turned her head to her brother, and You Xi Wang spoke, "Let's take her to the hospital first. She is mentally exhausted, let me contact a few of her close contacts to find out the ups and downs about what happened to her." he used telepathy to communicate as to not disturb Maddison more than she is already. 

You Zhichi spoke, "Teacher, how about you come with us?"

Maddison did not react this time. She just sat there with a faint smile on her lips. You Xi Wang spoke, "Big Sis, sleeping pressure point."

You Zhichi calmly raised her hand and held Maddison in her embrace. Maddison was in a state where she won't react until anyone unleashes their killing intent at her or use spiritual energy against her. You Zhichi did neither and thus Maddison allowed her to hug her. You Zhichi pinched the back of her neck with her slender fingers and struck the sleeping pressure point. Maddison immediately fainted. She could have resisted it but her mental exhaustion was too much. 

You Xi Wang picked up his teacher like a princess and then they walked towards their vehicle. Some passer-bys watched this and enquired about the situation and then You Zhichi had to explain everything to them. You Xi Wang was indifferent to all this and placed Maddison in the back seat. Then he drove the vehicle straight to the Silica City Hospital.

On the way, he called Susan to be ready to receive his teacher. You Xi Wang used the remote link to LUCY on his Holo-Phone, "LUCY, you there?"

Suddenly a hologram formed over his Holo-phone. The hologram spoke, "Always at your service, Young Master."

You Zhichi was shocked but she did not ask anything at this moment. You Xi Wang spoke, "LUCY, look through all the information you can find about Maddison Midnight, teacher of battle formations in Silica City academy, and locate me her nears and dears. ASAP."

The hologram replied, "Yes, Young Master." only after a few seconds LUCY spoke again, "Young Master, I have found details of a fellow teacher of the subject. The contact is called, Daina Carter. The rest of the information is being processed."

You Xi Wang spoke, "Very good, contact her and ask her to come to the SIlica City hospital in my name." The hologram again replied in affirmation and contacted Daina Carter. 

...

Daina Carter was riding her lev-bike to school. She was a tom-boy by nature with a carefree heart. She was lost in thought when her Holo-phone rang. She saw that it is an unknown number. She rejected the call, You Xi Wang on the other side asked LUCY to call repeatedly. Daina got irritated after repeated rejections and then she was about to block the caller. A text popped up. 

'TEACHER DAINA, PICK UP THE FUCKING CALL. IT IS AN EMERGENCY. I AM YOU XI WANG.'

Daina was stunned by the message. She did not expect the caller to be You Xi Wang, moreover, she never imagined him to talk like this with her. Regardless, her instincts told her that it might be an urgent situation for the boy to be reacting as such. She picked up the call the next time.

You Xi Wang spoke, "Teacher Daina, please come to Silica City Hospital. On the way to school, we found teacher Maddison sitting listlessly in a vacant alley. She is not in a good condition."

Daina's brain started working at an extremely high speed. Maddison Midnight was not only her colleague but also her best friend. She told You Xi Wang that she would be arriving as soon as possible. She turned her Lev-bike in the direction of the hospital was she contacted the school and told them the situation.

...

You Zhichi called Yuki and told her about the situation, asking her to convey this to the Battle fest team but not to talk to others about it lest it damages the teacher's reputation. Yuki co-operated with her and sprang into action. You Zhichi asked You Xi Wang, "Gougou, how long?"

You Xi Wang replied, "Three minutes." he was driving the vehicle at a high speed with rapt attention. The vehicles in Metropia all came equipped with three colored lights. Normally it would not change color but once the driver sets up the hospital as an address the lights will automatically become navy blue. They would flicker constantly and the other vehicles will move aside from the path. You Xi Wang was fine controlling the vehicle to avoid the collision, leaving the big turns to the semi-auto-pilot. This was an exclusive feature in his vehicle only. 

...

In the front of the Emergency department of the Silica City Hospital, a white Countach stopped and You Zhichi came out of the door. She pressed a console on the side and quickly a robot arrived with a floating stretcher bed. You Xi Wang carried Maddison out of the car and placed her on the bed. The robot then began to pull the stretcher back inside the building You Xi Wang asked her sister to see through the formalities as he finds a place to park the vehicle.

You Zhichi followed the robot inside and You Xi Wang left. When after parking the vehicle our boy returned he found Susan was checking up on Maddison with some other doctors by her side and Daina was standing beside his sister, gritting her teeth. He walked over and asked straightforwardly, "Do you know, what happened to her?"

Daina glanced at him and spoke with an infuriated face, "All this is due to that fucker Arthur Clarke. He is her ex-boyfriend, yet this idiot kept in touch with him. One day he called her out for dinner, seemingly to reconcile, and then she sent me a text saying she will spend the week with him. Then two days ago Clarke contacted me saying Maddison wanted me to move out of her house. The place we rent, she bought it some days ago. I tried to contact but she did not respond. I moved out and today I wanted to find her to ask what happened when you called."
