Actress Yvonne Yung's family vacation in Toronto took a dramatic turn with two consecutive emergency incidents within two days. The first scare occurred when her younger son, Hermes, forgot to check out of his summer camp after an emotional moment with classmates. This led to a three-hour search by school officials, who could not reach the family via their Taiwanese mobile phones. The situation escalated when the police arrived at their home to verify the child's safety, prompting Yung to lecture her son on managing emotions.
Do you know what the police sirens outside are for? They are looking for you everywhere, yes!! They are looking for you Hermes, the police will come to the house soon.
Just as the family recovered from the police visit, a second emergency unfolded the following day. While Yung and her two sons were home alone, a fire alarm blared through their 22nd-floor apartment building, indicating a fire on the 7th floor. The actress immediately prepared for evacuation, securing passports and instructing her sons on emergency procedures. She even wet towels to seal the door cracks, contemplating escape routes.
Emotions will not help you solve problems.
Fortunately, the "clear, clear" announcement from the building's broadcast system confirmed the fire was extinguished, relieving the family. Her elder son, Helios, humorously remarked on the building's eventful nature, referencing the previous day's police visit and the current fire department response. The younger son, Hermes, innocently stated the fire incident didn't concern him. Yung reflected on the ordeal, calling it a sign of good fortune after misfortune.
This building is too exciting.
