1265 Leave a Light On

“Elder Sister, you don’t dislike Qian’e anymore?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

Now that Qian’e no longer harbored those unrealistic thoughts, Xia He did not hate Qian’e anymore. She felt that Qian’e was actually a very unfortunate person.

“I have never said that! Based on her current condition, she will still have to stay in the hospital for a period of time. Let’s hire a caregiver for her,” Xia He said.

They did not expect the Qian family to arrange for anyone to come and take care of Qian’e. They heard that her father, Qian Wang, had recently found a young and beautiful girlfriend and that Zhao Ni was currently locked in a tussle with Qian Wang! Zhao Ni did not dare to get a divorce, but Qian Wang was already living with his mistress now and refused to give Zhao Ni a single cent.

In their eyes, Qian’e was nothing. It made no difference to them whether she was alive or dead.

There were many caregivers for short-term hire in the hospital. Qiao Mei’s helpers were so busy that it was impossible for any of them to come and take care of Qian’e. Qiao Mei interviewed a few and found a pleasant-looking caregiver to wait on Qian’e.

Qiao Mei even secretly fed Qian’e some of the 100-year-old ginseng juice and she immediately looked much better. The two women did not go home immediately after that and just stayed there quietly to watch over Qian’e. They decided to put everything aside until Qian’e regained consciousness.

The VIP ward was spacious enough to accommodate everyone and they could take short naps in the living room outside. Qian’e finally woke up in the later half of the night.

“Where... where am I...” Qian’e said hoarsely.

She had not drank water for a long time and she found it very difficult to speak. Every word she said made her feel like her throat was being cut by a knife.

Qiao Mei and Xia He immediately went over to Qian’e. Qiao Mei held her hand tightly and said, “This is the hospital and you’re safe here. Don’t say anything for now. Take care of your health first and we’ll think about the rest at length later.”

“Ma... Ma San... deserves a horrible death...” Qian’e said as she turned to look at Qiao Mei with all her might. She held Qiao Mei’s hand tightly and the determination in her eyes made Qiao Mei feel moved.

Everything else could be put on hold, but when it came to Ma San, they must take swift and ruthless action. She did not want to wait another second. This time, she must send Ma San to jail!

“Alright, I promise you. I’ll make Ma San pay the price for what he did,” Qiao Mei said.

Only then could Qian’e feel at ease. Xia He called the doctor to come and check on Qian’e. After discussing with the doctor about the follow-up treatment for Qian’e, the two women returned to Xu Lan’s house. Xu Lan had been worried about them and had left a light on for them. There was also dinner waiting for them on the dining table.

Xia Zhe took it one step further and simply slept on the sofa in the living room so that he would know immediately when Qiao Mei returned.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. This younger brother of mine is really infatuated with you. Why is it that I have never seen him like this! The two of you can go ahead and be all lovey dovey. I can’t bear to see such scenes. I’m going back to my room to rest,” Xia He said resignedly.

“If you date Big Brother Deng, you will behave like this too~” Qiao Mei said as she leaned over to Xia He.

At that moment, Xia He felt quite tempted. Deng Fan would indeed treat her like this too. No, no! She must not be too impetuous! Marriage was not child’s play. She could not date Deng Fan on a whim. She still had to continue to observe Deng Fan!

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Stop trying to influence me! Go and whisper sweet nothings to Xia Zhe!” Xia He said.

Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei sleepily. The moment he heard the news, he called Zhuang Hua and then rushed to finish his work so that he could head home. It was not that appropriate for him to go to the hospital. Anyway, he felt at ease with Xia He and Luo Yu accompanying Qiao Mei.

“Elder Sister and I have already eaten. Why aren’t you sleeping in the room? It’s too cold to sleep here, especially when you don’t cover yourself with a blanket.” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe’s face and felt exceptionally blessed at this moment. She did not know that it felt so good to have someone waiting for her at home.

Qiao Mei snuggled into Xia Zhe’s arms and suddenly felt that it was not a bad feeling to be protected by someone. The two of them chatted about everything that had happened during the day before returning to the room to sleep.
