The accident, a chain of events triggered by Yu Xuan's reckless behavior, had left a lasting impression on the city. The news of the collision, involving several vehicles, had spread like wildfire, igniting a wave of public outrage.
Yu Xuan, his injuries still fresh, lay in his hospital bed, his mind racing. He had caused the accident, his anger and frustration leading to a reckless act that had had devastating consequences.
His mother, Madam Chan, sat by his bedside, her eyes filled with concern. "Are you alright?" she asked, her voice gentle.
Yu Xuan nodded, his voice weak. "I'm in pain," he replied.
Madam Chan reached out and took his hand. "It will be alright," she said, her voice filled with reassurance.
Yu Xuan turned to his mother, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and shame. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely a whisper. "I shouldn't have done it."
