The Devil's Sleeping Beauty-Chapter 3 Waking Up

Since Ji Ruo was a former General, she has a lot of connections in the military. Her strongest connection was Xia Meiren's uncle, Xia Jianfeng, the current General in the military. No secrets can be hidden from him since he is also one of the best hacker in the country, he can get any information he wants no matter how deep and dark it is.

Xia Meiren was pretty sure that Ji Ruo ordered her uncle to bring all the illegal works of the Lin family into light. She knows that he was the only person who is capable of doing this in one night.

At least this news was able to lighten up the pain Xia Meiren was feeling.

After taking a bath, Xia Meiren changed into an office attire since she will be visiting her brother in the company. It was actually her first day of work as an assistant to her brother, Xia Sinian.

Ever since Xia Sinian became the head of the Xia family business, he moved out of the place and stayed at a suite that was close to the company since he was a workaholic man.

When she headed out of her room and went downstairs, she entered the dining room and saw her grandparents waiting for her by the table.

She smiled at them. "Good morning, grandpa, grandma!"

"Here's my little princess." Xia Jiamo smiled warmly as he saw Xia Meiren, "How was your sleep?"

Xia Meiren went to sit on her usual seat. "Because of grandma, I was able to sleep well last night."

Ji Ruo chuckled, "It's all for my beloved granddaughter."

"If you keep babying her, she won't learn how to be dependent." Xia Jiamo sighed as he took his chopsticks.

Ji Ruo raised a brow as she looked at her husband. "As if you're not doing the same, my dear."

Xia Meiren laughed lightly as she watched her grandparents act like a someone not their age. "Lets eat, lets eat. I don't want to be late in my first day of work. Sinian-ge would definitely scold me!"

"That rascal! He won't even come and visit us every once in a while!" Ji Ruo crossed her arms. "Once you see him, tell him to come home tonight, okay?"

"Yes, grandma."

After having breakfast together with her grandparents, Xia Meiren bid goodbyes to them before she headed to her work using her Volkswagen Beetle car.

Xia Meiren was fond of classical cars, especially the Volkswagen, that's why she would proudly drive it around whenever she has a chance.

While she was on her way, as she was about to drive across the intersection road, a drunk person who was driving a black car suddenly appeared and crushed against her car.

It was all too fast that Xia Meiren wasn't able to realize what just happened.

----

"Doctor, when will she wake up? Can't you really do something about it?"

Xia Meiren suddenly heard a familiar voice. She knows this voice so well, it belongs to her older brother, Xia Sinian.

"I am really sorry, Mr. Xia, all we can do is wait." Another male voice spoke. "If she still won't wake up after three weeks then we will have to use C-section to take the baby out."

C-section? Baby? Xia Meiren was confused. Who are they talking about?

She tried to get up but she couldn't move her body. What was happening? Once again, she tried moving her body but her body was so heavy that she couldn't move it even a bit!

She couldn't help but panic because of this. She was lying down inside a dark place and it was so scary for her.

"Calm down, Meiren, calm down." She muttered to herself, trying to calm herself down before she decided to move her fingers. At first she couldn't move them but at the second try, she was able to move them which made her so happy.

"D-Doctor! M-Meiren... h-her fingers moved!" Her grandmother's voice was heard.

Could it be that... she was in a coma?! How was that possible?! The last thing she remembered was: she was on her way to her work and then she suddenly heard a loud crash.

Wait a minute... could that loud crash be the cause of her accident?! No way!

"It's a sign that she will be waking up soon. This is good, this is good. She can hear us so if you tried to call to her, it will give her more courage to wake up."

She suddenly felt a warm hold on her hand. "Sweetie, grandma and grandpa is here... even your Sinian-ge is here... so please wake up for us..."

"Your grandma is right, we are waiting for you here, princess." This time, Xia Jiamo's gentle voice was heard.

"I even made time to visit you every day, come on, don't make us worry like this, sister."

She could feel her warm tears forming on the side of her eyes before it run down her cheeks. She wanted to see them, she wanted to wake up and hug her family.

Trying to open her eyes, she was able to open them but it was kind of blurry because of her tears.

"Meiren!" They all shouted in unison as they went and gave her a group hug.
