Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 64

Chapter 64

The woman, who a second ago was sullen and had crimson eyes, now had warm tears streaming down her face. She pursed her lips and cried loudly, “Sister…”

Jiwanching was surrounded by medical equipment, breathing with difficulty under an oxygen mask.

She couldn’t see her direction, but she heard her voice. She was stunned for a moment, then fully awakened from her sleep. Two lines of clear tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

Cen Xia stopped what she was doing and walked towards her.

Xiao Wu suddenly got up, enduring the severe pain in her abdomen, and crawled towards Ji Yanqing’s bed.

Cen Xia passed by her, walking directly towards Jiwanching.

In the middle of it, the system gave a warning.

Beep… beep… beep… the golden finger function will be permanently disabled in 10 seconds.

Cen Xia ignored it and continued walking towards Jiwanching. When she got to her side, the system’s voice announced.

Golden finger function is completely disabled. The host will never be able to use it again.

The pain from her scraped knees suddenly intensified. Combined with the feeling of physical weakness, she lost her balance and fell to her knees next to Jiwanching with a thud.

There was a thick layer of fog on the oxygen mask. Jiwanching couldn’t see her clearly. She struggled to raise her hand, wanting to take it off.

Cen Xia moved her knees closer to her, reached out, and stroked her hair, comforting her, “Sister, it’s okay. Xiaxia is back!”

She saw Jiwanching’s eagerness to remove the mask and asked Yan Shuang, “Dr. Yan, can my sister take off the mask? She wants to talk!”

Yan Shuang was in pain from the beating she had given him. He took a breath and said, “Take it off!”

Cen Xia took off the mask.

Jiwanching vaguely saw her face, opened her lips, and couldn’t say a single word for a long time. Her neck was fixed in place by a medical device from Yan Shuang. She was very anxious, gasping for breath.

Cen Xia held one of her hands, kissed the back of it, and said, “Be good, Sister. Xiaxia is here!”

After struggling for a long time, Jiwanching finally spoke. Her hoarse throat was barely audible. She called her name and said, “Our Shanqing is gone. It’s dead. It died right in front of me, Xiaxia…”

She recalled the scene, sobbing uncontrollably.

Cen Xia was also crying. “I know, Sister, Xiaxia knows!”

Jiwanching sobbed, “It… died to protect me… My mom too. They all… died to protect me. I… killed them. I’m… a jinx. I shouldn’t… be alive…”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something. She suddenly pulled her hand out of Cen Xia’s and gently pushed her away. “Xiaxia, you should go…”

Cen Xia held her hands, gripping them tightly in her own. She brought them to her lips and kissed them, repeating, “I’m not leaving, Jiwanching. I’m not leaving. I’m not leaving…”

Her burning gaze looked at her. “Jiwanching, you’re not a jinx. I almost lost control and killed someone just now. You saved me.”

“I have a system with elements I can’t control. If I leave you, I won’t be able to live. I’ll go crazy, and I’ll accidentally kill people. Only you can control me. Only you can control me, Jiwanching!”

Jiwanching didn’t know what had just happened, but she couldn’t bear to let go of Cen Xia. She couldn’t let go of her. Seeing her cry in front of her made her even more reluctant.

She sobbed uncontrollably but didn’t pull her hands away again. She just kept repeating, “My Xiaxia… I can’t let go… I’m so selfish. My mom is gone, my baby is gone. Everyone who is good to me is gone…”

Cen Xia was also crying, crying even harder than her.

“Sister, Xiaxia is also scared, especially knowing that one day I might be replaced. My heart has never not been hanging in the air. But when I saw Jiang He was also looking for her lover, that torment, that guilt, I couldn’t bear it…”

“But, Sister, I’m not from this world after all. I’m using someone else’s body. One day, I have to be replaced!”

Finally, she confessed everything to her in one breath, at this crucial moment.

Cen Xia sobbed, “If everyone could be happy if I returned the body, I would be willing to die a hundred times. But, Sister, I know that’s impossible!”

“During this time, while looking for memories with Jiang He, I would dream of you frantically looking for me. Every time that happened, my heart would ache. Jiwanching, I can’t bear to leave you. But this body belongs to the Cen family’s daughter. I’ve taken her place!”

Jiwanching struggled to understand what she meant by “replacement.” She still didn’t understand a single word, but the tears in her eyes flowed less. She looked at her steadily and murmured, “Xiaxia, I don’t understand…”

She didn’t know she was a transmigrator. She only knew that she and the Cen family’s daughter were not the same person. Because of her trust in her, she had never asked about her true identity. Now, hearing her say that she wasn’t from this world, she couldn’t accept it.

Then, which world was she from?

Suddenly, she remembered the story Cen Xia had told her before, about the little girl whose kidneys were taken by her parents.

Cen Xia spoke, explaining in simple terms, “Sister, I’m a transmigrator. Do you know what transmigration is? It’s when a person from one world travels to another world and takes someone else’s place to live.”

Jiwanching shook her head. She didn’t believe it. She didn’t believe that this world was so absurd that something like transmigration could happen.

Cen Xia said, “Sister, Jiang He is also looking for her lover. One of our two pairs will inevitably get hurt. I love you, Sister, and you love me, Xiaxia. But if one day Jiang He’s lover comes back, I have to give her body back.”

“Xiaxia can’t bear to leave you, Sister, but Xiaxia knows that you wouldn’t let me selfishly take someone else’s body to have my own happiness.”

Jiwanching struggled to understand her words, biting her lip and silently crying.

Cen Xia was also crying. “Jiang He said her lover is very kind. My Wanqing is also very kind. We don’t have a choice…”

But it wasn’t just the two of them who were sad. Jiang He was too. She was the first to know about Cen Xia’s transmigration. Although she was mentally strong, she also missed her Xiaxia. Seeing them like this, she couldn’t bear it, but she chose to remain silent.

Yan Shuang and Tang Shaoyun were completely shocked. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Cen Xia was still crying. This was the first time she had been so sad since she transmigrated.

Jiwanching’s heart was broken. She blinked her eyes, trying to clear her vision, but it was no use. The tears in her eyes accumulated more and more. Her voice trembled as she said, “Then I won’t have my Xiaxia anymore…”

Cen Xia just held her hand tightly, unable to speak.

At this moment, Jiang He seemed to have mustered a lot of courage. She slowly stood up, picked up the sun-protection jacket on the floor, and walked towards the two of them.

Jiwanching’s blurry vision saw her shadow. Cen Xia also looked up at her.

Jiang He met their gazes. She held the jacket in front of Jiwanching’s eyes. The locust was still bouncing around inside the sleeve.

She looked at Jiwanching and tried to sound as composed as possible. “Before my Xiaxia comes back, she’s still yours!”

She then glanced at Cen Xia. “This is the locust she caught for you in the field. She said you would be very happy to see it. Jiwanching, I didn’t know you were so playful. I underestimated you!”

Jiwanching looked at the jacket with two knots in the sleeves and the little green winged bug. She parted her lips and said a few short words, “I’m sorry, Jiang He. We’re so sorry.”

Jiang He gave a small smile and said, “I used to target General Manager Ji everywhere. Now we’re even. From now on, no one owes anyone anything!”

Then, she looked at Cen Xia with a determined gaze. “You can be with Jiwanching during this time, but if at some point, my Xiaxia comes back, you have to give her back to me!”

Cen Xia nodded and said, “Thank you, Jiang He. Don’t worry, no matter what, as soon as she appears, I will give this body back without hesitation!”

Jiang He rolled her eyes at her, put the jacket over her head, and grumbled, “Take it! I’ll get back at you for hitting me today, sooner or later!”

After she finished speaking, she turned around. The locust continued to flutter inside the sleeve.

Cen Xia took off the jacket and waved it in front of Jiwanching. Her swollen eyes smiled at her. “Sister, look, I finally caught it for you. Do you like it?”

Jiwanching moved her throat and said, “I like it!”

Tears flowed out once more.

Jiang He, with her back to them, scoffed, “You didn’t ‘finally catch it.’ You couldn’t have caught a damn thing without me!”

In the room, the atmosphere was no longer so heavy because of her words.

Yan Shuang and Tang Shaoyun also got up. Xiao Wu was kneeling in front of Ji Yanqing’s bed, constantly touching her neck with her hands. Among the few people, she was the most seriously injured by Cen Xia because she was protecting Ji Yanqing. At this moment, she couldn’t even stand up.

Jiang He was about to leave. She glanced at them on the bed, hesitated, and then spoke to Yan Shuang, “Dr. Yan, a doctor is compassionate. Don’t just watch people die!”

Yan Shuang gave a cold “mhmm” and was about to walk over to check their injuries when his phone in his pocket rang. He opened it and saw an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment but still answered the call.

“Hello, are you Dr. Yan Shuang? I’m Zhang Yi from the police station!”

Yan Shuang “mhmm”-ed.

Zhang Yi spoke very quickly, “We can’t get in touch with Jiwanching and Cen Xia. I’m on my way to their villa now. You’re her private doctor. If you can, please tell them to be wary of Ji Yanqing.”

Yan Shuang glanced at Ji Yanqing on the bed.

Zhang Yi said, “Two years ago, she was diagnosed with a mental illness at a hospital abroad. The time Jiwanching was drugged at the banquet was her doing, and the time Jiang Yiye’s granddaughter was drugged was also her doing. When she has an episode, her anti-detection ability is very strong. Please tell Jiwanching and Cen Xia to be careful.”

Yan Shuang was stunned for a moment. He then asked, “She has a mental illness? Which hospital abroad diagnosed her? Why didn’t you find out before?”

Zhang Yi said, “Shi Renying tampered with the records. We just found out. Her husband was also killed by her own hands back then. It’s uncertain if Ji Yanqing has been tampered with by her.”

Yan Shuang paused and said, “Got it!”

He quickly glanced at everyone in the room and then said, “Officer Zhang, Ji Yanqing is on my bed. I gave her a shot. Please come as soon as possible!”

As soon as he hung up, Jiang He’s phone rang again.

Grandpa Jiang was out of breath. “Where are you? I’m coming to find you now!”

Jiang He heard her grandpa’s difficulty breathing. The sadness in her heart surged up. She quickly tried to comfort him. “Grandpa, I’m fine. Ji Yanqing was knocked out by the Ji family’s doctor. I’m here. There are a lot of them, and the police are also on their way. Don’t worry.”

The old man let out a sigh of relief. His rapid breathing became steady. He cursed, “Get back here, right now!”

A little while later, the police arrived. Zhang Yi led the way in, and then a group of people poured in.
