Chapter 29

"Taotao! Taotao!"

A group of anxious players was gathered around Ruan Tao, who had collapsed on the ground. They had just been making their final preparations, who would have known Ruan Tao would suddenly faint as she reached the step and fall.

Everyone was terrified. Although the stairs were not high, Ruan Tao always had a weak constitution. No one could tell whether her fall was serious or not, and as she had fainted backstage, nobody was clear about the current situation.

Ruan Tao's teammates were panicked and nervous, almost crying; not only were they worried about their captain but it was also their turn soon. Ruan Tao was injured and they didn't know the gravity of it yet, what could they do?
Ruan Tao's face was pale and she was on the ground, holding her ankle in pain. Her forehead was sweaty and her messy hair stuck to her face. She cut a sorry figure.

"It hurts!"

Ruan Tao gritted her teeth, the intense pain making her gasps and tears flowed out instinctively.

As soon as the director heard about the accident, he hurried to check the situation, and the medical team that had been on standby also rushed to Ruan Tao. After he confirmed she had injured her ankle, the doctor shook his head with a serious expression.

"It should be a sprain but she needs to go to the hospital to make sure there is no ligament damage or a fracture. In any case, she won't be able to do any vigorous exercise in the next few days."

After he was done speaking, the expressions of everyone around him sank, especially Ruan Tao's teammates. Their faces became stiff and their bodies slightly trembled. What should they do now? The girls' faces were pale and they were lost.

They wanted to ask for help but everyone was focused on the injured Ruan Tao. Nobody had time to care about their meltdown and they could only step aside in silence, to make way for the rest of the staff and let them send their captain to the hospital.

"Is Ruan Tao okay?"

"It's okay, the body is the most important thing. It's okay, it's okay..."

After learning she could not go on stage, Ruan Tao burst into tears and could not stop. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse; she was holding her knees, a little pitiful.

The staff gathered around her and comforted her. They tried to calm her down and have her go to the hospital for treatment.

They had all seen her efforts these past few days. Perhaps it was because of her poor performance during the initial rating, but Ruan Tao had given all of herself for this stage. She had changed her usual sweet style for more difficult jazz. Even during training, she had practiced with weights and it was obvious to all she really wanted to recover from the last impression. Who would have thought she would have an accident just before going on st
age? Her sadness was not difficult to imagine.

Ruan Tao was still crying and she shook her head. She tried to stand up but the pain on her ankle made her gasp; she couldn't even put her foot down, let alone perform on stage.

No, no, why was this happening? Ruan Tao's heart broke down. She had been rehearsing so seriously for so long, why such a stupid accident had to happen when it was almost over? Why ruin all of her hard work? She had been so serious, so hard-working, she had gotten up so early every morning to practice and had not returned to the dormitory until late at night, even when her teammates had tried to persuade her to rest. She had been so determined, why was she the one encountering such an incident? Thinking of this, the grievances, the unwillingness, and the sadness accumulated in her heart for days finally exploded and her tears became even more uncontrollable. She collapsed and wept bitterly, shocking everyone around her.
