Li Jin was happy, but it was already late. Thus, they agreed to find Xia Wan the following day.
Early the next morning, Xia Wan was about to go out to buy some groceries when she met Chen MO, who was waiting for her at the door.
Xia Wan looked at him with surprise and joy. “Why are you here?”
Chen Mo’s eyes were apologetic and worried. He walked up to Xia Wan and said, “I’m sorry that I wasn’t by your side when you were in trouble. I let you suffer so much.’
Xia Wan shook her head and said with a smile. “It’s okay. Even if you weren’t by my side, you’ve helped me a lot. Brother Xu told me that if you didn’t pass on a message to the Lu family, Lu Lin would keep looking for trouble in the town. Our town isn’t big, to begin with, and it’s only a matter of time before he finds me.”
Seeing her smile so obediently, Chen MO felt a little upset. He really hoped that Xia Wan would be able to rely on him, but at the same time, he knew that she was such a proud person. Her pride gave him a heartache.
Chen MO smiled and suppressed the emotions in his heart. He said to Xia Wan,
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to dinner and bring you to meet someone.”
Xia Wan looked at him in surprise, “Meet someone? Who is it?”
Chen MO smiled mysteriously. “You’ll see when we get there. I believe that she’ll definitely like you.
For some reason, Xia Wan became a little nervous.
They had a simple breakfast, which consisted of steamed buns, a plate of side dishes, and the seaweed soup that the boss had made.
It was a simple taste, but Xia Wan felt very satisfied.
Chen MO brought her to a small courtyard. The environment was quiet, and there were many trees in the surroundings. At the same time, it was far away from the streets. It was quiet and oppressive.
Chen MO opened the door with the key, and the two of them walked in. Immediately, bodyguards lined up on both sides of the door and greeted Chen MO, “Young master.”
Chen MO nodded and led Xia Wan inside.
There were two people sitting in the living room. One of them was a girl in a white dress who was sitting on a specially-made half-reclining chair and reading a book.
Sitting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man. He looked to be in his forties and had deep facial features. One could tell that he had been a handsome man in his youth.
Xia Wan felt a little dazed. She seemed to have seen this person on TV in her previous life. He was a mysterious tycoon in the capital city, with many properties under his name and a lot of power and authority.
“This is my father, Chen Shan. This is my sister, Chen Shui,” Chen MO introduced.
“This is Xia Wan, the miracle Doctor who saved me,” he introduced Xia Wan.
Chen Shan nodded. A smile appeared on his usually serious face. “Chen MO has never been one to praise others easily, but he has praised you more than once in front of me. This time, I’ve come here to ask the miracle doctor to save my daughter.”
Chen Shui also looked at Xia Wan and said softly, “Hello, Sister Xia. I’ve heard about you from my brother. Now that I’ve met you, you’re indeed a beauty. No wonder my brother has been thinking about you.”
Chen MO glared at her. “Chen Shui, don’t spout nonsense.”
Chen Shui smiled sweetly. However, she started coughing after saying a few words. Chen Shan and Chen MO looked at her nervously.
Chen Shan’s expression was serious. He stood up and came to Xia Wan’s side. He solemnly said to Xia Wan, “Miracle doctor, can you help Chen Shui check her body? Over the years, we’ve taken her to many hospitals, but no one could cure her. We could only get all kinds of medicinal herbs to warm her body.”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with pity and he said, “Back then, I offended a gang and caused Chen Shui’s mother to be captured. At that time, Chen Shui was still in her mother’s womb. During the time she was being tortured, I don’t know what they fed her. When she was finally released, she was already weakened and had been suffering from all kinds of diseases over the years. “The doctor said that Chen Shui wouldn’t live past the age of 21.
“But she’s such a kind and innocent child. Why can’t she live more than 21 years? Chen MO doesn’t praise people easily. I believe in him too. Miracle doctor, I hope you can save my daughter. However, if even the miracle doctor can’t do anything, we won’t force you.”
Chen Shui’s heart ached when she saw her father like this.
Her father was an all-powerful man in the business world. She had nothing to fear. However, because of her body, her father had begged so many people all these years. Her always proud father had begged and begged in front of those people..
