NovelEnglishChapter 482: Late
“Grandfather, it’s all my fault. You’re right to hit me. I didn’t take good care of Qiao Mei,” Xia Zhe said.
Although Xia Mao was also angry that Xia Zhe did not do a good job, he knew that people would talk if news of Xia Zhe kneeling on the floor in public spread around.
“Get up, don’t kneel on the floor.” Xia Mao helped Xia Jun to sit down and said, “Father, don’t be angry. Let’s wait for the doctors to come out and see what they say. It’s useless to blame Xiao Zhe now.”
Xia Wen frowned and helped Xia Zhe up from the ground. He guessed that Xia Zhe’s knees were probably bruised by now.
“Has the doctor come out yet?” Xia Wen whispered.
“Not yet. Aunt is already inside. I don’t know how she is now,” Xia Zhe said.

“I know, elder brother. Grandfather is right. This is all my fault. If I had taken good care of Qiao Mei, this would not have happened.” Xia Zhe looked towards the operating theater. He really hoped to hear the doctor tell him that Qiao Mei was not injured at all.
He did not want her to have even a small wound. The lake water was so cold and he did not know if Qiao Mei could take it.
At this moment, the light outside the operating theater went out with a loud sound. The Xia family members all stood up and looked at the door, anxiously waiting for the doctor to appear.
Liu Yang and his two children slowly pushed Qiao Mei out of the operating theater. Xia Fang followed behind them next to the bed and everyone crowded around to take a look at Qiao Mei.
“Xiao Fang, tell sister-in-law the truth. Is Qiao Mei alright!” Xu Lan asked as she held Xia Fang’s hand nervously.
“I’ll tell all of you the details later. Let Qiao Mei go back to the ward and have a good rest first. I’ll talk to you about the rest later,” Xia Fang said.
“Alright, alright, alright. Hurry!” Xu Lan followed closely behind the bed and everyone else followed closely behind her.
Qiao Mei was staying in the VIP ward that the Xia family had prepared. She was the only one in this ward so that it would be a better environment for her to recuperate and easier for them to take care of her.
“Everyone, let’s stop here. There can’t be too many people entering the ward. Only one person can go in at a time. The rest of you can just watch from outside,” Xia Fang said as she stopped them.
“Xiao Fang, are we really not allowed to go in? Can we just go and take a look?” Xu Lan looked at Xia Fang pleadingly.
Xia Fang shook her head helplessly and said, “Her condition hasn’t improved yet. It’s better for her to rest well without too many people around. We can talk about other things later. I’ll go and get her medical report first before making further arrangements. I’ll pass you the results later.”
Xia Mao nodded and said, “Go ahead. We’ll just take a look from outside.”
After Xia Fang settled Qiao Mei down, she left the ward with Liu Yang, Liu Hua and Liu Wen. Xu Lan looked in through the glass window of the ward. Qiao Mei’s pale face was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
“My grandchildren… my Qiao Mei… What’s going on! Why did she fall into the lake!” Xu Lan said as she sank to the floor helplessly.
Liu Fen hurriedly went forward to help Xu Lan up. The two of them were the only ones who could take good care of Qiao Mei now. They must remain strong at this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer words woke everyone up. Why did Qiao Mei go alone to such a dangerous place as the lake? When Xia Fang called to inform them, she said that Qiao Mei was drenched and there was blood on her clothes.
There was also an upside-down boat in the middle of the lake. How could the boat capsize if it was rowed properly?
“Where were you when Qiao Mei got into the accident?” Xia Mao asked as he looked at Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe looked down and said, “I was resting at home. Qiao Mei went to Aunt’s house last night.”
“Yes, Xia He accompanied Qiao Mei there. Eh? Where did Xia He go? Why isn’t she here?” Liu Fen looked around in confusion but did not see Xia He.
It was only now that everyone realized that Xia He had not rushed over during such a critical time.
“Where did this girl go!” Xu Lan said.
At this moment, Xia He and Kong Lu had also rushed to the hospital after changing their clothes. With the help of the nurses, they found Qiao Mei’s ward.
“Grandfather! Father! Mother! How’s Qiao Mei?” Xia He asked breathlessly.
Xu Lan was about to step forward and criticize Xia He when she saw Kong Lu standing behind. She temporarily suppressed the unhappiness she felt.
