CHAPTER 885: CHAPTER 885: COINCIDENCE IS FATE

"What’s wrong?" a companion asked anxiously, softly inquiring, "Is there any breath?"

"Yes, and yet it seems like there isn’t." He glanced at his companion uncertainly, "It’s barely there, very faint."

"Let me have a look." Another person squatted down as well, reaching a finger towards the girl’s nose, carefully sensing.

At this moment, another person asked, "Is there or isn’t there?"

"I can’t quite tell, it feels like she’s breathing, but..."

"Never mind, let’s carry her back. While Old Mr. Downey is at the estate, with him around, even the dead could be brought back to life."

Thus, the speaker reached out to support the girl, and the other lent a helping hand.

One carried the fish basket, and the other carried the girl, heading towards The Xavier Estate.

This matter was not reported to The Xavier Family beforehand, because they knew that saving a life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda.

They also knew that The Xavier Family were the kindest people, and faced with such a thing, they would never stand idly by.

Miss Xavier was a prime example. She was the daughter of the neighbors, but when her family encountered a mishap and both parents passed away, they kindly took in Miss Xavier and treated her as their own daughter.

Buddha said, kind people will have good fortune, even the heavens will favor them.

Because The Xavier Family were kind, all the servants were also cultured and courteous, particularly kind-hearted. This was the fusion of the entire atmosphere, proximity influences.

Sure enough, when they brought the poor girl back to The Xavier Estate, Mr. Xavier and Mrs. Xavier, upon learning of the situation, arranged immediately for her to be placed in a guest room.

"Quick, fetch clean clothes for her and help her change. Be careful not to hurt her," Mrs. Xavier instructed the maids.

Mr. Xavier added, "Blow-dry her hair too, to prevent catching a chill."

Since she arrived at this estate, it was indeed her fortune.

"Old Mr. Downey." At this time, Simon Xavier spoke again, "You’ll have to endure this river fish for a while longer. It’s her luck to meet you. As fate wills it, please do your best to heal her?"

He believed in the old gentleman’s medical skills, which were comparable to Hua Tuo reincarnated.

Mrs. Xavier also said, "This child is truly fortunate. If she had drifted in a day later, the old gentleman might have already left."

So, sometimes coincidences are just fate.

The old gentleman stroked his beard and nodded, "I’ll give it a try."

About ten minutes later, she was dressed in clean clothes, and her hair was dry.

Standing in front of the bed in the guest room, everyone waited anxiously.

They saw Old Mr. Downey sitting in a chair beside the bed, taking the pulse of the severely injured girl. Her breathing was weak, and the excellent traditional doctor looked grave.

The room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and the situation looked grim...

The girl lay flat on the bed, eyes closed tightly, her face evidently injured, with blood marks and swelling all over, particularly horrifying.

Her face was surely disfigured, the original appearance unrecognizable.

Until Old Mr. Downey gently let go of her wrist and stood up, Mrs. Xavier nervously asked, "How is the child doing?"

The old gentleman stroked his beard and sighed, "The situation is not looking good. She is severely injured, with both internal and external injuries. She’s hanging by a thread."

Then a brief silence fell over the room again.

Everyone knew, if even Old Mr. Downey said the situation was not good, there was basically no hope in sending her to the hospital.

"But don’t worry, I’ll do my best to treat her." The old gentleman cherished fate. The Xavier family had urged him to stay, and now they encountered this girl.

This kind of thing, it must be a rare encounter in a century for The Xavier Family, right?

Perhaps it was divine arrangement, the girl had accumulated virtue in her previous life.
