Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Xiao Wu spread her arms, using her body to shield Ji Yanqing. A martial artist was supposed to be tough, but now her voice was filled with humble pleading.

“Don’t take her away. She’s sick. I’m the one who ordered everything. You can arrest me, but don’t touch her!”

As she spoke, she held out her hands. “Arrest me. She’s very kind, really!”

“When the nanny’s child was bullied as a kid, she would protect them. She can’t hurt anyone. She just has a mental problem. Please let her go and arrest me…”

Her abdomen was in severe pain from Cen Xia’s kick. Cold sweat was now seeping from her temples, and her eyes were filled with tears of despair.

The police officers who came forward hesitated and all looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi paused, then said in a businesslike manner, “Ji Yanqing is suspected of intentional assault. We will give her a further examination. If she truly has a mental problem, the police will handle it accordingly. You don’t need to worry.”

He instructed his subordinates, “Take both of them away!”

The group no longer hesitated and moved forward to arrest them.

Yan Shuang shouted, “Wait a minute!”

Xiao Wu looked at him when she heard his voice, pleading with red eyes, “Dr. Yan, please help. For the sake of her growing up with your young lady, please help her…”

Yan Shuang glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

Xiao Wu said, “Every time Mrs. Ji tried to kill your young lady, she was the one who protected her.”

“Later, she had a mental breakdown and couldn’t control herself. After hurting others, she would punish herself even more.”

“Look, she’s full of injuries. Dr. Yan, look…”

At this moment, she didn’t care about anything else. She directly lifted Ji Yanqing’s clothes, revealing old and new wounds that were unbearable to look at. Some were from her nails, and some were from a razor blade.

Even a seasoned doctor like Yan Shuang was shocked by the sight. He then belatedly realized that the enjoyment on Ji Yanqing’s face when he slapped her might be because she was truly insane…

Xiao Wu knelt and grabbed his arm, begging, “Help her. You’re a doctor. If you talk to them, they will understand! Help her…”

Yan Shuang was forced out of his thoughts. He slowly pulled his arm back and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t help. When she wakes up, professionals will conduct a mental evaluation!”

He looked at Zhang Yi. “Her neck is almost broken. Should I stabilize it?”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Xiao Wu shifted her focus and started pleading with Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi still maintained his businesslike attitude.

Yan Shuang stabilized her neck and gave her a sedative shot.

Ji Yanqing was carried out on a stretcher by the police officers. Xiao Wu kept stubbornly explaining, but no one listened to her. However, she didn’t mention Cen Xia hitting her, possibly trying to make up for it.

Zhang Yi seemed to have noticed this. As he left, he glanced at Cen Xia and Jiwanching.

Jiang He followed them out, leaving only a few people from the family in the room.

Jiwanching was in a daze, vaguely aware that Cen Xia had hurt someone uncontrollably.

She looked at Tang Shaoyun with difficulty.

Tang Shaoyun immediately understood. “Okay, Miss, I’ll take care of it!”

He knew that the eldest daughter wanted to resolve the matter peacefully.

Yan Shuang said nothing. His gaze fell on the bouncing locust in the sun-protection jacket’s sleeve. He suddenly remembered that the cat was still in her room, and he hadn’t had time to deal with it.

The next second, he heard Jiwanching speak, “Xiaxia, I want… to see Shanqing.”

The image of the cat’s tragic death popped into Cen Xia’s mind. She hesitated, stood up despite the pain, and kissed her forehead. “Sister is hurt and needs to rest. How about we go see Shanqing tomorrow?”

Jiwanching shook her head. Tears once again blurred her vision. Her voice was very weak. “Xiaxia, I want to see my baby one last time. It’s dead. I want to see it one last time…”

Cen Xia turned and glanced at Yan Shuang. The two exchanged a look of mutual understanding.

She then lowered her head, kissed her eyes, and comforted her. “Then Xiaxia will go with you to see the baby. We’ll wash it, put makeup on it, and make it look beautiful.”

Jiwanching sobbed, repeating, “We’ll go together… to see the baby, and make it look beautiful…”

Yan Shuang brought a wheelchair and removed the medical equipment from her body.

Jiwanching struggled to get up, but her body was limp. Cen Xia reached out to hold her. Her knees were hurt, and bending them was extremely painful.

She placed her in the wheelchair. As she was pushing her out, Jiwanching’s eyes were fixed on the bouncing locust in the sun-protection jacket.

Yan Shuang struggled with himself for a few seconds, then said coldly, “Miss, do you want to keep it as a pet?”

As a doctor who saves lives, he really didn’t want to waste his time and energy on taking care of a locust. But Jiwanching was too emotionally fragile right now, so he had no choice but to treat her like a queen.

Jiwanching pondered.

Cen Xia said, “Sister, let’s go downstairs and release it back into nature, okay?”

Jiwanching nodded slightly. The two of them slowly went downstairs.

Yan Shuang rushed back to the room with medical supplies to prepare the cat’s body. He had achieved great things in the medical field, but he had never performed surgery on an animal, let alone treated a dead cat’s wounds. But the situation was urgent, so he had to do it.

At dusk, with the sun setting, Jiwanching finally felt a little better after breathing the fresh air outside. But it felt like her neck was still being held by a hand.

Cen Xia pushed her towards the garden, pointing to the lush greenery and saying, “Sister, how about we go there?”

Jiwanching gently agreed. She couldn’t imagine how Cen Xia looked chasing the locust. All she could think of was Shanqing, and how it tragically died to protect her.

Cen Xia saw her gaze become dull. She held up the sleeve of the jacket and waved it in front of her. “Sister, don’t you want to look at the little bug? Xiaxia caught it after a long time!”

Jiwanching’s vision followed, but it was too blurry to see anything. She finally lost control and started to cry.

Cen Xia knelt down and hugged her. “Sister, don’t be sad. Let Shanqing go and keep Auntie company. Otherwise, she’ll be so lonely. If the baby goes, it will make Auntie happy. They’ll have each other. Xiaxia will be with you, Sister.”

Jiwanching shrank into her arms, her frail body trembling. Her neck was fixed in place. Cen Xia was afraid she was uncomfortable and was about to let go after hugging her for a while.

Jiwanching hugged her with all her strength, sobbing, “Xiaxia, stay with me, Sister. Don’t leave me…”

Cen Xia bit her lip, not daring to make a full promise.

Jiwanching seemed very stubborn. A little while later, she started to hum a song with her hoarse throat. “Under the banyan tree by the pond, the cicadas are singing of summer…”

She had very high standards for the quality of her singing. After she was able to speak, she tried to sing and practiced repeatedly. She was already able to sing along with the melody, but then the accident happened. She wanted to practice until she was good enough to sing for her, but she was afraid she wouldn’t make it in time…

Xiaxia had always wanted to hear her sing. At this moment, she wanted to use her singing to keep her.

Don’t go. Stay with me a little longer…

Cen Xia’s heart broke instantly. She ignored Jiwanching’s pain and hugged her tightly.

Due to their emotional state, both of them felt dizzy. It took a while for them to regain some consciousness.

Cen Xia sniffled, let go of her, and used her fingers to clear Jiwanching’s blurry vision. She said softly, “Sister, let’s release the little bug first. It’s been hungry all afternoon.”

Jiwanching reached out and poked the locust’s leg inside the sleeve. Its serrated legs pricked her delicate skin, causing a slight pain.

Cen Xia said, “When I was little, there was an empty field behind the orphanage. Every autumn, there would be many locusts.”

“We would sneak out and try to catch them together, but we never succeeded. When I caught this one today, Xiaxia was so happy. I just wanted to bring it back and play with you, Sister. Do you like it?”

Jiwanching nodded. She reached out again and touched its eyes. The locust pulled its antennae back a little, hiding from her.

Cen Xia untied the other end of the sleeve and put it in Jiwanching’s hand. “Sister, you can release it back into nature, okay?”

Jiwanching’s eyes fell on the sleeve opening. She looked at it for a few seconds before slowly opening the gap. The locust jumped out, flapped its wings, and flew into the dense grass.

Cen Xia exclaimed, “Sister, make a wish! Making a wish on a locust is very effective!”

Jiwanching paused for a second. She put her hands together and brought them to her lips to make a wish…

She made many, many wishes. By the end, her face was covered in tears.

Cen Xia lowered her head and gently kissed her eyes. “I wish my Wanqing a peaceful life, without illness or disaster.”

The evening breeze blew, and the air outside was slightly cool. Jiwanching’s body was frail. Combined with the pain she had endured all day, Cen Xia didn’t dare to let her stay outside for too long. When she estimated that Yan Shuang had almost finished preparing the cat’s body, she pushed her upstairs.

She was nervous the whole way up, unsure of what condition Shanqing’s body would be in after Yan Shuang’s treatment. She was worried that Jiwanching wouldn’t be able to handle it.

But in reality, Dr. Yan’s hands, which were meant to save lives, were quite dexterous. Shanqing’s body was very well-restored after his treatment.

However, he had sewn up all of its torn parts, but its eyes would not close.

Its head was still facing Jiwanching’s bed, its eyes wide open. The little one had endured so much pain. In its last moments, it was still concerned about its owner’s safety.

When Jiwanching entered the room, her body was very tense. She felt Cen Xia was pushing the wheelchair too slowly, so she used her hands to move it herself, rushing towards the cat.

When she got there, she saw its eyes fixed on her bed. The previous scene flashed in her mind. Ji Yanqing was madly kicking its stomach. It twitched in pain, and even in its last breath, it was still looking at her.

When Yan Shuang saw them coming, he voluntarily made space. He glanced at Cen Xia, indicating that this was the best he could do.

Jiwanching bent down with difficulty, reached out, and stroked its head. She murmured, “Shanqing, Xiaxia is back. Your sister won’t let her bully you, baby…”

Cen Xia bit her lip and silently cried.

She was too dizzy to hold on. After stroking it for a while, she sat up, patted her thigh, and spoke to Shanqing, “Meow-meow, come on. Come up here to your sister.”

Shanqing’s body lay cold and motionless on the floor.

She continued to pat her thigh, her eyes never leaving the cat.

Cen Xia knelt down, picked up the little one from the floor, and placed it on Jiwanching’s lap.

Jiwanching’s lips curled into a slight smile. She lifted it with its front legs and kissed its head. “Good boy, Shanqing. Let me hug you.”

Cen Xia didn’t stop her. She just watched.

After kissing it for a while, she put the little one down, cradled it in her arms, and stroked its belly.

Yan Shuang was amazed to find that the cat’s eyes had closed on their own. In all his years as a doctor, he had seen people die with their eyes open, but he had never seen an animal do the same.

After holding it for a while, Jiwanching looked at Cen Xia. She took her hand and gently stroked the cat’s head. “Shanqing, don’t be afraid. Xiaxia is here. No one will dare to hurt our baby. She will protect us…”

Then she looked at Cen Xia and asked, “Right?”

Cen Xia didn’t say anything.

Jiwanching just held her hand, her gaze burning with pleading.

Cen Xia nodded and said, “Yes.”

Jiwanching laughed and cried, repeating to Shanqing, “Did you hear that, baby? Xiaxia will protect us. She will protect us…”
