After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1028 Alive!

Even though Xia Wen and Xia He knew that this was a very rare type of ginseng wine, they did not dare to make a rash decision to let Qiao Mei try the remedy. They only had one chance. If they made a wrong choice, then there was no other way to save Xia Mao.

“No! You can’t use this strange thing on the patient!” the doctor said nervously.

He had been a doctor for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen medicinal wine that was such a color. Was this not poison? How could wine be of this color?

He definitely could not allow this thing to be used on Xia Mao. If Xia Mao died because of what Qiao Mei did, he would not be able to redeem himself even if he had 10 lives to give!

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen with a stern expression and said, “You know Father’s situation and I know it too. He’s not just my father and I can’t make the decision alone. I’m asking you now, should we try or not!”

After all, Xia Wen was Xia Mao’s eldest son and he should be the one making this decision. Qiao Mei was just a daughter-in-law. If Xia Mao’s health did not improve but worsen instead, Qiao Mei would be criticized by everyone. The gossip and mockery would be enough to crush her.

Qiao Mei did not care about what others would say. She was just scared that if they made a hasty decision today, Xia Wen and Xia He would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Xia Wen pondered for a moment and asked, “How confident are you?”

“Not at all. It’s my first time trying this. This wine is better than everything I have at home. But I don’t know how confident I should be,” Qiao Mei said honestly.

“Then… are we supposed to just throw the dice?” Xia He said with a trembling voice.

Xia Wen closed his eyes, knelt on the ground weakly and held Xia Mao’s hand with both hands. He was afraid of losing Xia Mao and did not dare to take the risk, but his only hope now was the bottle of wine in Qiao Mei’s hand. If Xia Mao did not drink it, he would only have three to four days left. If he drank it, he might still have a chance of survival.

“Father… I… I’ll make a decision for you today…” Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei with tears streaming down his face and said, “Let him drink it.”

Xia He also knelt on the ground and buried her head in Xia Mao’s arm. She kept praying to the heavens that if Xia Mao could stay alive, she was willing to give up 10 years of her lifespan in exchange. She did not dare to open her eyes and watch Qiao Mei pour the ginseng wine into Xia Mao’s mouth. If they failed, this would be a nightmare for her for the rest of her life.

The doctor slowly retreated outside the door. As a doctor, his sense of professionalism did not allow him to let Qiao Mei try out her remedy, not even to feed just one drop. However, even the doctors were already totally helpless now and could only watch on silently as Xia Mao’s life slowly slipped away.

However, as a person, the most important thing for him was to let Xia Mao’s children express their filial piety. Since Xia Wen had agreed with Qiao Mei’s actions, he would let Xia Mao’s children boldly give it a try. Perhaps they would succeed?

Qiao Mei gritted her teeth and slowly poured the ginseng wine into Xia Mao’s mouth. She did not dare to waste a single drop and fed him roughly the volume of one glass before stopping.

She stared intently at Xia Mao’s face and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the medical equipment. Her fingers gently pressed on Xia Mao’s wrist to feel his pulse. Qiao Mei’s heart beat together with every beat of his heart. After 10 minutes, Qiao Mei realized that Xia Mao’s face was gradually turning rosier and his heartbeat was getting stronger.

Xia Wen could also feel Xia Mao’s fingers trembling slightly. He looked up at Qiao Mei in surprise and stared nervously at Xia Mao’s hand. After confirming that the fingers were moving, Xia Wen was so happy that he almost jumped up and cheered.

“Doctor! Doctor, come and take a look!” Xia Wen called the doctor over excitedly.

The doctor quickly gathered all the other medical staff and asked the three of them to leave the tent. They nervously carried out a full-body checkup for Xia Mao.

At this moment, a diminutive soldier suddenly rushed in front of them and knelt on the cold and hard ground with a plop. He kept kowtowing and saying, “It’s all my fault… Please hit me… It’s all my fault… I’m so sorry…”

Xia He forced herself to stand up straight. Xia Wen went forward to help the soldier up and said, “Get up first. Whatever it is, we can talk about it.”
