Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Xia family had once again regained their peace, but the mood for celebration was gone.
After a simple meal and tidying up the table, Xia Hai and Yan Han retired to their room to rest.
Just as Xia Wan was about to return to her room, Xia Chen called her,
“Wanwan, I have something to ask you.”
Xia Wan stopped, looking at Xia Chen with a puzzled expression. He had a serious look on his face.
“I heard you went to the police station today?” Xia Chen said, his expression not very pleasant. “I didn’t want to worry mom and dad, so I didn’t ask earlier.”
“What happened?” Xia Chen continued, “I heard it had something to do with a
bunch of thugs?”
Hearing Xia Chen’s questions, Xia Wan was not upset about being questioned. Instead, she felt comforted by his concern. “Brother, don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. We just encountered some thugs causing trouble and bullying people.
“We couldn’t stand it, so we got into a dispute,” Xia Wan reassured him, raising her hand, “Don’t worry, we’re not injured! ”
“Really? Is there I can do?” Xia Chen asked, his eves filled with deep
concern.
“No need, brother. Don’t worry, Linda is quite formidable in a fight!” Xia Wan said sincerely.
‘What?” Xia Chen didn’t quite understand and blinked at Xia Wan.
“But, brother, how did you know we went to the police station?” Xia Wan was puzzled.
This had happened in the afternoon when Xia Chen should have been busy with hosting duties, so how could he have known about their situation?
Xia Chen sighed, “What doesn’t Zhuang Peng know!
“He had already spread the news around the school before we left.
“If I didn’t have to complete the hosting duty, I would have gone to the police station to find you immediately!”
Xia Wan stepped forward and gently hugged Xia Chen, expressing her gratitude, “Brother, it’s great to have you. Thank you!”
Xia Chen was a bit dazed.
It was rare for Xia Wan to show her emotions like this, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
“Wanwan, if you have anything on your mind, you must tell us. We will do our best to help you!” Xia Chen emphasized again.
He always felt that Xia Wan seemed to have many things hidden in her heart, and being with her always gave him a mix of familiar and unfamiliar feelings.
The military hospital was more efficient. The next night, Xia Wan received news that the examination report was ready.
As it was a day off, Xia Wan informed Chen MO in the morning and took the bus to the military hospital on her own.
When Shi Yu saw Xia Wan again, he no longer had the previous skepticism and disdain. Instead, he closely observed her.
Xia Wan let him look and, after confirming the report’s content, grinned at Shi Yu, “Have you seen enough? What are you trying to see from my face?” Xia Wan’s question made Shi Yu feel embarrassed.
“Did you really wake me up?” Despite everyone, including Lin Chao, saying so, Shi Yu couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
“Yes! Not only did I wake you up, but the poison on you was also from me!” Xia Wan said indifferently, not even looking at Shi Yu, and continued to flip through his medication records.
“Poison?!” Shi Yu roared, not sounding like someone who had been bedridden for days and just returned from the brink of death.
Xia Wan turned to look at him, “What? Didn’t Dr. Fang tell you that you woke up after being given a lot of poison?”
Shi Yu stared at Xia Wan in disbelief, “Then I… Have I become a poisonous person? Am I going to die?”
“Yes!” Xia Wan nodded slowly in response, “You are going to die sooner or later! ”
Shi Yu was instantly stunned, not knowing what to say, his expression one of despair.
Xia Wan found teasing Shi Yu quite entertaining.
He was a tall, robust man with a straightforward demeanor, wearing his emotions openly on his face.
Dr. Fang entered at that moment, confused by Shi Yu’s sad expression. “What’s wrong? If everything goes well, he can be moved to a regular ward tomorrow. Why does he look like this?”
“I don’t know!” Xia Wan shrugged. “He probably thinks he doesn’t have long to live!”
Dr. Fang was even more confused, “But the report shows nothing serious. How could it be…”
Xia Wan didn’t answer Dr. Fang’s question but instead continued
“Even though this examination is normal, it doesn’t mean there won’t be a relapse.”
This time, Dr. Fang didn’t hesitate and immediately replied, “I understand! I’ll make the arrangements..”
