1683 Mother Xia’s Astonishment
When Chi Shuyan hurried over to the hospital, the atmosphere in the Xia family was quite strange. At that moment, the sharp-eyed mother and son of the Xia family saw her. Xia Mingcheng was about to walk over excitedly, but Mother Xia was quicker to react.
Chi Shuyan was stunned, and Xia Mingcheng was even more stunned. He saw his mother grab Master Chi’s hands excitedly and ask for help to save Mingzhen’s life. Master Chi was probably a bit stunned by how overly excited Xi Mingcheng’s mother was.
Mother Xia thought that Master Chi wasn’t willing to save her family, so she immediately wanted to kowtow and beg the Master. She regretted not believing Mingcheng’s words at that time, let alone the Master whom Mingcheng had invited over. She had offended this person back then. What if the Master refused to save her family?
The more Mother Xia thought about it, the more scared she became. Her face turned even paler. She gritted her teeth and planned to kneel down and beg. Her son’s life was much more important than her kowtowing a few times.
Chi Shuyan quickly stopped Mother Xia from kneeling and immediately asked, “Aunt Xia, don’t worry about Little Brother Xia. You don’t have to kneel!”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t handle Mother Xia, and hurriedly signaled for Xia Mingcheng to come over.
How could Xia Mingcheng not know what Master Chi meant? He immediately walked over and stopped his mother, then said, “Mom, since Master Chi is here, she’ll definitely save Mingzhen. Don’t worry, don’t worry! Let’s hear what she has to say first!”
After listening to Mingcheng, Mother Xia was still in disbelief. She was so excited that she was incoherent as she asked the Master in front of her, “Master Chi, really? Will you really save my youngest? Master, Master, is what you said true?”
Chi Shuyan hurriedly nodded, and Mother Xia’s face flushed with excitement. Her lips trembled as she said, “Master, thank you so much, thank you so much. Otherwise, I don’t know what would happen to my Mingzhen.”
As Mother Xia spoke, she remembered that her youngest was still in the operating room, and her eyes started to turn red again. It was only when Xia Mingcheng hurriedly advised his mother not to cry that she forced her tears back. She wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, “Right, right, the Master is here. Mingzhen will definitely be fine. I won’t cry anymore. Mingcheng, Mom won’t cry anymore!”
Seeing that Mother Xia had finally stopped crying, Xia Mingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, Father Xia was staring blankly at the young lady in front of him. Xia Mingcheng immediately introduced her to his father. “Dad, this is Master Chi!”
Hearing the words “Master Chi,” a trace of hesitation and surprise flashed in Father Xia’s eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but Mother Xia immediately slapped his hand fiercely and told him to hurry up and greet the Master. Mother Xia was afraid that her husband’s hesitation would make Master Chi angry. What if Master Chi got angry and refused to save Mingzhen?
She was also worried that her husband would have no tact. Anyone could tell with one glance that this was a true Master, so why was he hesitating?
At that moment, Mother Xia forgot that she had been even more skeptical than Father Xia before. She was so worried. When she thought of how this Master could save her son’s life, she was afraid of giving her the slightest offense, and immediately forced Father Xia to call her “Master Chi.” She even said, “This is Master Chi, a real Master. She’s especially godly! Old Xia, hurry and greet her!”
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched. When Father Xia heard his wife’s words, he didn’t dare hesitate and obediently greeted Chi Shuyan. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but take another look, and her lips curved up into a smile. She didn’t expect the Xia parents to have such a good relationship.
She immediately took a look at Father and Mother Xia’s physiognomies. Seeing that it was normal and there were no signs of them losing a son, she was confident and immediately got straight to the point. “Little Brother Xia should be fine! It’s just minor injuries that aren’t life-threatening! He should be discharged in the afternoon.”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Mother Xia was flustered. Her son had rolled down the stairs and was covered in blood; how could he have just minor injuries? When her eldest son sent his brother to the hospital earlier, the child never woke up. The more Mother Xia thought about it, the more anxious she became. Her heart was in a mess. She was about to hurriedly describe how her son had rolled down the stairs, when the light above the operating room suddenly went out.
Not long after, the door opened and a doctor wearing a mask came out. The doctor’s surname was Huang. He pulled down his mask and looked very bewildered.
Father and Mother Xia hurriedly rushed to the doctor to ask about their youngest son.
“Doctor, how’s my son? Is he okay?” Father and Mother Xia asked in unison. While Father and Mother Xia were talking to the doctor, Xia Mingcheng walked over to Master Chi’s side, afraid that she would think that his family had neglected her.
Seeing how thoughtful Xia Mingcheng was, Chi Shuyan smiled amiably at him, then listened to the doctor’s conversation with Father and Mother Xia. The doctor replied, “He’s fine. He just has minor injuries, and there are no big issues. He can be discharged later.”
Father and Mother Xia were astonished and stupefied when they heard the doctor’s words, thinking that they had misheard. Their son had bled all over the floor. He had fallen down the stairs – did he really only have minor injuries?
It had to be pointed out that even if he rolled down the stairs from the second floor and not the third floor, that was still quite a distance. Even if his injuries weren’t fatal, he would still have broken some bones, right? But this doctor actually said that their son could be discharged in the afternoon?
Father and Mother Xia were in disbelief, but Mother Xia suddenly thought of Master Chi’s words just now, which were almost exactly the same as what the doctor had said. Her face changed drastically.
At that moment, a few nurses pushed their son out of the operating room. He was awake and sitting on the hospital bed, full of vigor. When he saw Father and Mother Xia, Xia Mingzhen beamed and called out, “Dad, Mom!”
Father and Mother Xia’s eyes immediately widened. Xia Mingzhen still wanted to talk to his parents and brother, but the nurses had already pushed him toward the ward.
Dr. Huang had a thought and asked in bewilderment, “Are you sure the injured rolled down the stairs from the second or third floor?”
Mother Xia was about to reply honestly, but Xia Mingcheng beat her to it. “Dr. Huang, maybe… we were wrong just now!”
Dr. Huang looked suspiciously at the Xia family a few more times and didn’t say anything since the injured was fine. Before he left, he exhorted, “The injured is indeed fine. If you’re worried, you can have him stay in the hospital for the night. We’ll examine him again in the afternoon!”
After Dr. Huang left, Mother Xia looked back in disbelief and stupefaction at the young lady, Master Chi. She was utterly shocked. Wasn’t this Master simply too godly?
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that her status in Mother Xia’s heart had skyrocketed. It was as if Mother Xia was looking at an expert, whether because of her prediction that something would happen to her youngest son or what Chi Shuyan said just now.
Mother Xia’s lips trembled a few times, and she regretted doubting this Master even more. At that moment, she suddenly said incoherently to Xia Mingcheng, “Ming… Mingcheng, Master, this really is a living Master! Master said that your brother would be fine, and he’s really fine!” Her voice shook as she spoke.
Father Xia was also a bit shocked, but he didn’t know about Chi Shuyan’s earlier prediction about his youngest son, so his expression was a little more normal than Mother Xia’s.
Chi Shuyan facepalmed at Mother Xia’s frank and burning gaze. Mother Xia didn’t dare blink at that moment, for fear that Master Chi would leave. Chi Shuyan could only take the initiative to ask, “Aunt Xia, why don’t we go to the ward to see Little Brother Xia first?”
“Okay, okay, okay…”
