Chapter 834: Dr. Xie, have you decided to be the old lady’s daughter? It was eight o’clock at night when Shi Han and Mo’er boarded a private jet and took off from the airport.

The weather was freezing at night, especially in the Capital City.

Xie Yi and Mo Shi were standing inside the airport as they watched the plane take them away. Deep down, they felt as if they had lost something.

They were not blood-related at all, but they were still relatives.

True relatives would not turn into strangers just because the time and space had changed.

“Mo Shi, come on. Let’s go back.”

Even though Shi Han had left, he still managed to arrange everything before leaving the country—Xie Yi’s essentials of life included clothing, food supplies, lodging, transportation, and even a personal doctor, among other issues.

For Xie Yi’s safety, Shi Han even had allocated some secret bodyguards for her.

To avoid intensifying Xie Yi’s psychological burden, Shi Han did not disclose this arrangement to her.

“Dr. Xie, have you truly decided to be the old lady’s daughter?”

Mo Shi hadn’t been with Xie Yi long enough, so she was not yet familiar with her temperament and character.

Xie Yi nodded. “This is just the last resort in the treatment plan.”

Mo Shi responded, “Oh.” Then, she fell silent.

They both stepped into a car, and then Xie Yi directed the driver to go straight to the hospital.

Xie Xuning and Ye Tianxi had remained at the hospital ever since the grandmother woke up.

Why would it have mattered if the grandmother could no longer recognize Xie Xuning or Ye Tianxin?

It was enough for them to know that their grandmother was their relative.

“It is eight o’clock at night already, Dad. Shouldn’t Dr. Xie be in the air by now?”

Ye Tianxin extended her hand out to glance at the watch on her wrist. It said that eight o’clock had already passed. Dr. Xie should be in the air by now.

Xie Xuning comforted Ye Tianxin. “Tianxin, Dr. Xie also had affairs of her own. It was her choice either to stay or to leave. We should not be dictating what she can and can’t do.”

Ye Tianxin sighed. “Dad, I understand. I can’t help but keep wishfully thinking. Tell me, would you say that I am too greedy?”

“Isn’t that just human nature?”

In the end, humans were nothing but greedy creatures.

Nobody could avoid being like that.

People with no money wanted money.

People with wealth wanted authority.

People with wealth and authority even desired to live forever.

It had always been like this for many saints since ancient times. Who could ever afford to not care about fame or fortune? Who could ever stay away from all that?

“Dad, I am going to light the first incense of the year.”

Ye Tianxin was serious about igniting the first incense.

She was going to pray for a new day of peace and well-being.

“Great, let’s do it together.”

According to them, it had been an eventful and rewarding year.

Inside the ward, the grandmother had fallen asleep after being given an intravenous drip.

Reflected on the windows of the ward were swirls after swirls of dazzling fireworks.

“Dad, is today a special day?”

Outside, it was still bustling with noise and excitement; the streets were still full of pedestrians, even in such freezing weather.

Xie Xuning conscientiously thought for a while, but he still could not recall what day it was.

“Today is Christmas Eve.”

Xie Yi held two apples packed in gift boxes. She first handed one to Ye Tianxin and then gave the other one to Xie Xuning.

“There you go. Take a bite of this fruit of peace. You’ll be safe and sound in this coming year.”

Ye Tianxin held the gift box in her hands. Based on the look in her beautiful eyes, she seemed very moved by the gesture.

“Dr. Xie, haven’t you left already?”

Xie Yi reached her hand out and gently touched Ye Tianxin’s forehead. She smiled gloriously. “I am a doctor. How could I abandon my patient and walk away just like that?”
