Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 545 - 547: It’s Great to be Alive

The next morning, Fang Yuan and the children rushed over. Xia Lin and Fang Yuan had two children, Fang Jingtong and Fang Jingyu, a son and a daughter. Both children were already working.

"Auntie, Uncle, Feiyang bro," the faces of the two children were pale.

"You’re here. Stay with your mom and talk to her more; she’ll wake up sooner," Xia Xiao comforted, holding the hands of her nephews.

At this time, Xia Lin still hadn’t woken up. Xia Xiao, seeing Fang Yuan’s fearfully anxious face, gave Gao Jiaxing a meaningful look.

Gao Jiaxing then took Fang Yuan outside. The matter between Xia Lin and Fang Yuan hadn’t been disclosed to their children, who were unaware of their parents’ argument.

This was a private double ward that Xia Xiao had booked. Xia Xiao didn’t hang spring-water IVs for Xia Lin as she had done for Gao Jiaxing, but she did occasionally moisten Xia Lin’s lips with spring water.

Now, all they could do was hope Xia Lin would wake up.

Outside, Gao Jiaxing and Fang Yuan spoke in low voices, while Xia Lin’s two children kept vigil inside. Xia Xiao turned to Feiyang and said, "You can go back first. Xiao Min is pregnant, and you should check on her."

"Okay," Feiyang also missed Li Min. Moreover, Fang Yuan’s family was here now, and his parents were present. There was no need for Feiyang to stay.

So, Feiyang quickly said goodbye to his cousins and went to buy breakfast in the cafeteria before leaving.

After everyone had breakfast, they started discussing transferring Xia Lin back to S City so it would be more convenient for the family to take care and visit.

Xia Xiao also agreed. After all, this was Ice City—it was not only far but also cold. In addition, due to the recent train shooting, the hospital was filled with many injured patients.

Having decided to transfer her the next day, Gao Jiaxing and Fang Yuan spent a long while talking before Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing returned to the hotel to rest, leaving Xia Lin in the care of Fang Yuan’s family.

At that moment, Fang Yuan, holding Xia Lin’s hand, couldn’t hold back his tears, his whole body trembling as he said,

"Xiao Lin, wake up. Stop sleeping."

Fang Jingtong and Fang Jingyu felt a lump in their throats and quietly left the room, giving their parents some privacy.

Only then did Fang Yuan begin to explain to Xia Lin, regretting having argued with her. If he hadn’t, Xia Lin wouldn’t have gone on a trip out of spite, and none of this would have happened.

"How did your talk with Fang Yuan go?" On the way back, Xia Xiao couldn’t wait to ask Gao Jiaxing.

Gao Jiaxing said, "Fang Yuan said it was a misunderstanding. The governance transfer is coming up, and he was being targeted."

Xia Xiao snorted, "How could he be so careless? And not coming home late at night, staying in the office with a female subordinate, especially when the surveillance was down, isn’t that suspicious?"

If it had been in business, one might say working overtime, but what could be so urgent in a government office that requires working late into the night with a female subordinate.

"It was carelessness. He had been drinking, and the female subordinate took him to the office."

As soon as Gao Jiaxing finished speaking, Xia Xiao felt even more doubtful, "This female subordinate obviously has issues. A leader is drunk, and she should have sent him home, but instead, she took him to the office and spent the night, haha."

"So it was his mistake, luckily, it didn’t lead to a bigger problem," Gao Jiaxing said.

"Who knows? No one saw it happen, and there’s no definitive evidence," Xia Xiao couldn’t fully trust Fang Yuan even at that moment.

"What about the female subordinate?" Xia Xiao asked.

"Fang Yuan transferred her away."

Xia Xiao hummed twice in disapproval, thinking Fang Yuan needed a lesson, but instead, it was Xia Lin who suffered the consequences.

In her last life, Xia Lin must have faced trouble around this time, and thinking about how Xia Lin had passed away made Xia Xiao’s heart ache; she also felt that forgiving Fang Yuan too easily was letting him off the hook.

But in this life, Xia Lin probably wouldn’t be in trouble, and if she woke up, it would mean she had evaded a brush with death.

After returning to the hotel, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing washed up briefly and both collapsed into bed, utterly exhausted.

Last night, Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing, along with Feiyang, watched over Xia Lin. An extra hospital bed had been brought in for Xia Xiao to sleep on, while Gao Jiaxing and his son Feiyang, like door gods, stood and slept. As much as Xia Xiao’s heart ached for them, she was also full of admiration.

Feiyang had already flown back. Xia Xiao said to Gao Jiaxing, "Go to sleep, and after waking up we’ll visit Xiao Lin. It would be great if she woke up today."

Gao Jiaxing wrapped his arms around Xia Xiao, "Don’t worry, my sister will wake up."

Xia Xiao snuggled into Gao Jiaxing’s arms and softly hummed an agreement. She hadn’t slept well last night, so she quickly fell asleep this time.

After Xia Xiao had fallen asleep, Gao Jiaxing finally opened his eyes. Although it was Xia Lin who had had the accident this time, Gao Jiaxing was equally terrified.

Only when he held Xia Xiao in his arms did Gao Jiaxing feel truly settled and could he sleep soundly.

In the afternoon, when Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao woke up, they were about to go to the hospital when a call came from Fang Yuan’s side, indicating that Xia Lin had awakened.

Xia Xiao was immediately overjoyed, and her heart truly settled down.

When Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing arrived at the hospital, Xia Lin called out to Xia Xiao, "Big sister, I’m glad you’re all right. Thankfully you came, or I wouldn’t have been able to save my life."

"I’m fine, but how did you get shot?" Xia Xiao held Xia Lin’s hand.

Xia Lin weakly said, "I heard gunshots while I was in the restroom. In fear, I wanted to find you, but a gun fired at the restroom’s door, and I got hit right in the chest."

Tears streamed down her face as Xia Lin spoke, "It feels so good to be alive, big sister, I’m sorry, I almost got you killed."

"That’s not true at all. If I hadn’t suggested you come to Ice City, you wouldn’t have been in trouble," replied Xia Xiao, feeling a pang of guilt.

"Even if I had gone to Su Country, I would still have taken the train. It has nothing to do with you, big sister. I owe my life to you and Feiyang."

At that point, Xia Lin glanced at Fang Yuan and said to Xia Xiao, "Fang Yuan and I have cleared up our misunderstanding, I shouldn’t have doubted him."

After this ordeal, having snatched her life back from the jaws of death, Xia Lin gained a new perspective, realizing the most important thing was to be alive.

While she lay unconscious, Fang Yuan had explained a lot to Xia Lin, and she heard it all, choosing to trust him.

Only in the face of death do you realize how precious life is, otherwise death brings everything to an end.

The next morning, Xia Lin was transferred to another hospital.

This time Gao Jiaxing returned to his military unit, and Xia Xiao followed him to S city, parting ways for a while.

After visiting her parent’s home, Xia Xiao came over to where Gao Jiazhi and Li Xiaoting were, and met with Yang Xuehua again.

"It’s a rare occasion; I was actually thinking of waiting until your Feiyi’s wedding next year before coming to see you," Yang Xuehua said with a laugh.

"Are you busy today?" Xia Xiao, linking arms with Yang Xuehua, strolled around the school.

Yang Xuehua replied, "The education department is hosting an observation and exchange event here, and many teachers from different schools are attending."

Xia Xiao nodded and looked around the school that Gao Jiazhi and Yang Xuehua operated together. The conditions were excellent, even one of the top private schools in S city.

Yu Shijie was in the S city military area, so Yang Xuehua stayed here to teach. Since it was a school she co-founded, Yang Xuehua was doing quite well.
