1162 Thankfully You Are Fine
Xiao An knew that what he said sounded overboard and was unpleasant to hear. If he was in Xia Zhe’s shoes, he definitely would not be able to accept such a way of handling this matter.
Xia Zhe remained silent. In his heart, no one was more important than Qiao Mei. However, what about the rest of the people who were still alive?
To take revenge for Qiao Mei, these people were not afraid to face death. If all of them lost their lives because of his willfulness, it would be an outcome that Qiao Mei also would not agree with.
If one was dead, one was dead. Even if he went to Qiao Mei’s side immediately, he would not be able to revive her. It was better… better to allow the people who were alive to live safe and well.
Xia Mao and Xia Xiu entered Xia Fang’s hospital through the main door. Immediately after, they slipped out of the back door when no one was paying attention. It was inconvenient for them to go home now, so Xia Mao wanted to go and meet Xia Zhe first.
He had not seen Xia Zhe for such a long time and Xia Zhe even had to experience such an incident. He was quite worried about Xia Zhe. The two charred corpses from earlier had also left a deep impression on him.
A thought kept echoing in his mind. “What would you do if it was Xia Zhe?”
Yes, what would he do, and what could he do? Xia Mao finally realized how important it was to spend time with his family. All the memories he had were of his missions and he could not remember anything about his family. He had been totally absent from all his three children’s childhoods.
The fact that these three children did not hate him was already the best thing he could hope for. He was very satisfied with that.
“Where’s Xiao Zhe?” Xia Mao asked as he rushed into the house under the cover of darkness.
“I’m here, Father.” Xia Zhe felt a little flattered. Xia Mao had never addressed him so casually before. Xia Mao had always called him using his full name.
“It’s so great that you’re fine,” Xia Mao said emotionally.
Xia Zhe still wanted to go to the hospital to see Qiao Mei. He would not be able to feel at ease until he saw Qiao Mei.
“Father, Qiao Mei, she…” Xia Zhe said hesitantly.
“It’s been hard on you, my child. Tonight, Luo Yu and the team will go around and check if there are any suspicious people nearby. If they don’t find anything tonight, then we can go back tomorrow,” Xia Mao said.
Xia Zhe nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they all went to take their rest. It was not until the next night that Luo Yu could confirm that Cheng Gu’s men were not nearby. He then informed Xia Mao and the others.
Xia Zhe could not wait to reach the hospital immediately. Xiao An secretly brought them back to the hospital and they went up through the VIP passageway. Xia Zhe stood in front of Qiao Mei’s ward and did not dare to go in. He did not know what kind of expression he should put on to see Qiao Mei, whether to pretend to be calm or to cry bitterly.
Finally, he steeled his nerves and walked into the ward. When he pushed the door open and entered, he thought he would see Qiao Mei lying on a bed with a white cloth covering her or lying in a freezer like the type within the funeral parlor. However, what Xia Zhe saw was Qiao Mei carrying a little baby. It was an image that was warm and blissful.
“Hey! You’re back! Come and take a look at our children! They’re so cute! The older boy looks like you and the younger girl looks like me. They’re so good-looking,” Qiao Mei said to Xia Zhe with a wide smile. As she smiled, her eyes looked like crescent moons and she looked very beautiful.
Xia Zhe could not believe the scene in front of him. He pinched his thigh forcefully to make sure that it was not an illusion before walking forward. He wanted to reach out and hug Qiao Mei, but he had not showered or washed up for many days and his face was covered in dust. He did not know if he was carrying any germs and he did not want to pass them to his children.
“Sister Feng, you can bring them back.” Qiao Mei seemed to sense Xia Zhe’s concerns and asked Feng Hua to bring the children back to the nursery.
“What’s wrong? Are you dumbstruck? Why are you still standing there motionlessly?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I… I…” Xia Zhe choked on his words. He did not know how to describe his current feelings. It was the joy of regaining something he had lost, and also the feeling of being so touched to be able to see his wife again.
“What do you mean by you, you! Come and hug me!” Qiao Mei opened her arms domineeringly to hug Xia Zhe, but she accidentally stretched the wound on her stomach. It was so painful that she gasped audibly. Xia Zhe was so frightened that he quickly held Qiao Mei’s hands and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll go get the doctor! Wait for me! I’ll go get the doctor!” Xia Zhe said in a panic.
“I’m fine~ Just sit down. I feel dizzy looking at how flustered you are,” Qiao Mei said coquettishly.
