47 Save Her, I Beg Of You

Zhou Tian no longer looked at Li Yan. He turned to Xia Wan with a pleading look and said, “I beg you. Please save my daughter. I only have one daughter. If anything happens to her, how am I supposed to live?”

Zhou Tian’s eyes welled up. “I’ve taken Rou to many hospitals, but they all said there was nothing wrong with her. She was just a little weak and would be fine after taking some supplements. However, I gave her many good medicinal herbs, but she didn’t get better. Instead, she became weaker. It’s not the first time she’s had a relapse.”

“My only wish now is to cure little Rou’s illness. I’m willing to spend all my money.

“Xia Wan, as long as there’s a chance, don’t hesitate to save her. She’s really a kind and obedient girl.”

Xia Wan saw how sincere he was and thought of her parents. If she were sick, her parents would surely be very worried and would try their best to save their child.

Hence, Xia Wan nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to cure her. She should rest, so it’s better if you take her home. I went out with my brother today. I’ll bring him with me when we meet later.”

Xia Wan still had some concerns about going to a stranger’s house. Only with Xia Chen around could she be completely at ease.

Zhou Tian had a favor to ask of Xia Wan, so he naturally agreed when he heard her words. He immediately wrote down the address for Xia Wan and then left with Zhou Xiao Rou in a hurry.

After Zhou Tian and the others left, Xia Wan was no longer in the mood to shop at the jewelry store. She went straight to the place she agreed to meet Xia Chen. After waiting for about an hour, Xia Chen finally arrived.

Seeing that Xia Wan was waiting for him, Xia Chen quickened his pace and rushed over.

“You must have waited a long time. I went to take a look, but I couldn’t find a suitable job. People don’t want short-term jobs. There are too few short-term jobs, which have all been taken away,” Xia Chen said, a little embarrassed. He felt a little useless, unable to find a job when his sister was already making money.

Xia Wan smiled and comforted him, “Brother, it’s okay. Don’t worry. We’re family, and we don’t have to be so rigid about this.”

“By the way, brother, I’m going to the previous owner’s house to treat his daughter. Come with me. You just have to look after her when we get there and leave the rest to me.”

“Alright,” he said. Xia Chen agreed almost immediately. He had never refused his sister.

Then, Xia Chen suddenly realized something. He looked at Xia Wan strangely and asked, “Sister, did you really learn all your medical skills from Grandpa? Why haven’t I seen you use them?”

Xia Wan didn’t expect her brother to be so sensitive. She still had to rely on her medical skills to make money in the future, and this matter couldn’t be kept a secret. After thinking for a while, Xia Wan said, “Brother, I’ve actually been learning medicine from Grandpa. Although my grades aren’t that good, it’s not because I’m stupid. It’s just that I wasn’t focused on my studies.”

Grandpa told me that I’m still young and that others might not believe me if I say that I know a lot. Also, if something happens because of my treatment, it will greatly impact me.”

Xia Wan looked troubled. “But the situation is different now. Our family is always getting bullied. Grandma doesn’t support us at all. If we don’t work hard, our family will definitely plot against them. So, brother, I can’t stand it anymore. Even if my medical skills might put me at risk, I have to use them to earn and lead our family to live a better life.

“Brother, do you want our parents to be looked down on every day? Do you want grandma to despise us every day?

“We’re so filial and the kindest ones in the family, yet those people bully us at will. Brother, I really want to stop enduring this.”

Xia Wan’s eyes were red. It was obvious that she had been wronged for many years.

Xia Chen’s heart ached as he watched on. He said, “These are things I should have done, but it’s all on your shoulders now. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I promise I’ll do my best to protect you. Just use your medical skills to make money, and I’ll give you my full cooperation.”
