Ye Tianxin looked at Xie Yi with sincere gratitude. A touch of joy brushed over her eyebrows.
“Dr. Xie, thank you for staying.”
Xie Yi felt slightly bashful and declared, “I am not staying for you. I am staying for the old lady.”
“I know, I know. Dr. Xie, you’re such a good person.”
A good person?
Xie Yi fell into a trance. If she was indeed a good person, then why would heaven treat a good person like her this way?
It might as well have not given her any memories of her past.
Why let her live in such pain?
“Your definition of a good person is deficient.”
Xie Yi looked toward Xie Xuning.
“I have already washed the apples; you may eat them directly. Try to eat a little bit even if you don’t like apples. It’s for prosperity and good luck. I am going to take a look at the old lady.”
Xie Yi pushed the door open and stepped inside the ward. She pulled over a chair and sat next to grandmother.
She thought this old lady was indeed quite fortunate.
Her granddaughter and son-in-law did not give up on her even when she became ill.
“Dad, let’s go in together.”
Ye Tianxin pulled Xie Xuning together into the ward, and they sat next to each other on the other side of the bed.
Ye Tianxin carefully picked the apple out of the gift box and took a firm bite.
The apples brought by Xie Yi were undoubtedly the most delicious ones.
Nourished with ample sunshine and sweet tasted water, the aroma of apple spread between the lips and teeth with just one small bite.
Ye Tianxin squinted happily. She looked over to Xie Xuning, who was holding the gift box but had not yet eaten the apple.
“Dad, you should give it a try, too. The apple is quite sweet.”
With his daughter’s eyes filled with eager anticipation staring at him, Xie Xuning also took out the apple and gave it a bite.
It was exactly as his daughter had described it; the apple was quite sweet, and the sugary juice seemed to be flowing into his heart.
In a far distance outside the ward, a burst of splendid fireworks rose.
Such dazzling and colorful lights shined into the ward, illuminating the quiet ward surroundings with fantastic and dreamy colors.
Even then, both Ye Tianxin and Xie Xunign did not realize that Xie Yi, who was sitting right in front of them, was the one they had been searching for wholeheartedly.
Why would that matter anyway?
This year’s Christmas Eve was the first year that they spent together as a family.
According to them… it was an extremely wonderful day no matter when they think back to this day in the future.
On the night of this Christmas Eve, the firework lasted for an extended period.
The fireworks that went off in rapid succession brought everyone the most joyful expectation of a new day.
Quietly, Ye Tianxin also took out her cell phone to send a blessing message to Li Qingcang in the Country Y.
Happy Christmas Eve, Brother Li.
Anyone who had experienced such an ordeal would understand how precious it was to be safe and sound.
It was no wonder why; as an ancient saying read, “Peace is a blessing.”
Blessing as in good fortune.
“Dr. Xie, you may go resting. I will take care of my mother-in-law.”
Xie Yi flipped through the grandmother’s medical chart. “There is no need for that. I will watch over her tonight. You and your daughter may go home to rest. The old lady won’t recognize either of you anyway. There is not much for you to do here anyway…”
“We don’t mind.”
Xie Xuning looked toward Ye Tianxin, who was sitting next to him without knowing when Ye Tianxin had already fallen asleep.
Xie Xuning picked Ye Tianxi up and placed her on a chair next to the bed. In the meantime, he covered her body with his coat.
Feeling puzzled, Xie Yi asked, “Is it OK for her to just sleep like that?”
