CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 118: BLURRY MEMORIES

Lin Yi’s actions gave Xia You and the Xia’s Family Members some ideas.

Flashes of what seemed like illusions passed through Xia You’s mind, recalling clearly what had happened in the car.

When she entered the hospital, the nurses had already changed her clothes and gently cleaned her body, but the intimate and lingering sensations from earlier still subtly remained in their minds.

Mother Xia, after all, had been through more of life; she "coughed" and muttered something into Maggie’s ear. Just now, Maggie was also staring at that handsome uncle who looked pretty but was cold as ice. After hearing her mother’s words, with a childish voice, she ran to Xia You’s bedside, calling out, "Sister, sister, why did you go to such a big white house? I don’t like you staying in such a white house."

In the hospital, the walls and the medical staff passing by were all wearing white coats. It had been a few years since Maggie last entered this hospital, but just like before, she still referred to it as a "white house." Although she didn’t quite remember the difference between "Xia You" who used to stay in the hospital and the current Xia You, Maggie still didn’t like the smell of the white house, and her sister was also dressed in white clothes.

"Good girl, Maggie," Xia You put aside her awkwardness and smiled.

"May I ask if you are the officer who called earlier...?" Xia You glanced at Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi was dressed in civilian clothes, the tone he used on the phone and the extraordinary sense that comes with being young and holding a high position had already been unmistakably revealed.

"Hello, Aunt Xia," Lin Yi replied stiffly, and Xia You watched nervously.

Lin Yi had seen the Xia Family’s information. Xia Yun was just as described in the documents, a frail yet strong single mother who looked younger than her actual age. The person Xia You cherished most was her little sister, the young girl clinging to her side and acting coquettishly. Among the Xia’s Family Members, the one Lin Yi paid most attention to was the only man who entered, hands stuffed in his pockets.

The only male among them, tall with a coldness on his face, was anxiously fiddling inside his pocket.

Lin Yi could hear the sound of his fingers clenching and relaxing, rubbing against the fabric of the pocket.

The documents showed that Xia You’s half-brother was a thug-like ruffian, arguably the bane of Xia You’s existence. At the moment, he was also looking at Lin Yi, with a gaze that wasn’t very friendly. Like a viper coiled up, waiting for a deadly strike.

"Mom," Xia You called anxiously, Simon turned his head, the hint of coldness in his eyes immediately vanished. Lin Yi noted this, the relationship between Simon and Xia You was definitely not as simple as how it seemed to Mother Xia,

"Xiao You, when did you join the military region?" Mother Xia was terrified when she received the call from Xia You’s superiors, wondering when her Xiao You had secretly joined the army, especially the Rand Military District, the highest-ranking in Hua Country. The young but imposing voice on the phone only told her that Xia You had sustained minor injuries during a mission and was now hospitalized.

The look in Xia You’s eyes dimmed as her IV-infused arm nervously retracted under the covers. Maggie was still watching, wondering why both her mother and sister were so serious.

"This officer, it’s now private conversation time for our family, please step outside." Simon issued an unwelcome command unsatisfactorily, the man who occasionally looked towards Xia You just standing there made him very uncomfortable.

"Take a good rest, Xixi will handle the following matters," Only then did Lin Yi realize that Xia You’s earlier agitation had a reason. Joining the military was an honorable thing; there was no need to be secretive about it with her family.

Xia You nodded. In fact, Lin Yi couldn’t be blamed for this; notifying the family after an accident was the most normal procedure, and it was impossible for her to keep it hidden from Xia Yun forever. Paper can’t wrap fire after all.

"Mr. Simon, you are a suspect in a case of assaulting the police, and I would like you to come with me," worsening the already panicky mood of Xia Yun, after Lin Yi left the ward, two policemen dressed in uniform came in and handcuffed Simon without any explanation.

The Bazhou City Police Bureau had to wait outside when Lin Yi was present. After learning Lin Yi’s identity, they did not act immediately. Once he left, they immediately burst in. This time, the Bazhou City Police Bureau had taken quite a fall, and as the main cause of the incident, Simon was conveniently brought in to face the consequences.
