Chapter 943: Chapter 944 Warmth

Meng Xinian knew just how rare Chiang Xiao’s pastries were, so of course, he wouldn’t keep them to himself.

Zhao Xin opened his eyes, his voice extremely weak, "Sister-in-law, how did you, come here?"

"Yes, she’s here. Do you remember the pastries she made? You’ve had them before, and you said that if you could eat two pieces every day, life would be more comfortable than that of immortals. Now she’s brought some pastries, do you want some?" Meng Xinian spoke to Zhao Xin as gently and patiently as perhaps he never had before.

Chiang Xiao felt rather puzzled hearing this.

"Am I, am I not going to die?" Zhao Xin’s voice was very low, faint, conveying a heavy weakness.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback; she turned her head sharply to look at him and saw his face pale as paper, lips devoid of color, eyes open but without any sparkle – it was a clear sign of a life fading away.

She still remembered how it felt to see herself lying on the concrete floor, life ebbing away just before consciousness slipped from her grasp.

Zhao Xin was seriously injured!

Initially, when Meng Xinian asked Chiang Xiao to check on the pregnant sister-in-law first, Chiang Xiao thought Zhao Xin’s injuries weren’t particularly severe. But now, seeing him like this, he was at death’s door!

"Zhao Xin!"

Chiang Xiao immediately handed over her water bottle: "Don’t let him eat sweets now, let him drink, drink, drink more!"

She had mixed the water with Spirit Spring Water, a drink that could save lives!

Zhao Xin was in such a state, how could they not have told her!

But she didn’t realize that in the eyes of Meng Xinian and the others, the lives of the townspeople came before that of a team member!

That’s why right after he had hurried her back, he first asked her to save the pregnant sister-in-law!

The moment Meng Xinian heard it, he knew there was something special about the water. He immediately took the water bottle from her, helped Zhao Xin up, and made him drink.

The water was very sweet.

Zhao Xin found it somewhat difficult to drink at first.

But after one sip, then a second, then a third, he quickly finished the whole bottle.

"Tastes, good."

After drinking the water, Zhao Xin felt his body warming up suddenly.

Although it was cold water, shouldn’t he have felt even colder after drinking it?

Zhao Xin had been feeling extremely cold, so cold that he thought he was lying in the snow in deep winter, so cold that he believed he would be frozen to death.

But he didn’t even have the energy to complain about the cold.

If it weren’t for Meng Xinian telling him that Chiang Xiao was here, giving him a sudden surge of strength, wanting to see if Chiang Xiao could bring something she made with her own hands for him to eat one last time, he wouldn’t have managed to speak those few words.

Zhao Xin felt like he was experiencing a brief rally.

But after drinking the water, he suddenly felt his body grow warm.

"Sister-in-law, the water, tastes good."

He repeated himself.

Meng Xinian’s eyes warmed.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhao Xin was so near the end, he wouldn’t have risked asking Director Ye to bring a doctor over.

After all, the road was too dangerous.

He would never let a doctor take that risk if there was any other way.

But upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s voice on the phone, hope surged in his heart suddenly.

No one was more reluctant than he to let Chiang Xiao take that risk, to let her walk that road alone in the stormy darkness.

But he suppressed that reluctance fiercely.

There were several lives here that needed her!

And indeed, she had come!

On the surface, Meng Xinian showed no excessive emotion, but in reality, his chest filled with an intense emotion, wishing he could meld Chiang Xiao into his very bones and blood!

This girl, was not just his redemption!
