After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1171 - 1170: Xia Chuyi’s Decision

Xia Chuyi finally made her way back to the hospital.

As Wang Zicheng’s condition had stabilized, the medical staff had moved him into a standard ward.

Compared to the earlier days when he was swarmed by medical equipment, his physical state looked much more peaceful now that the oxygen mask was removed; he appeared as though he were merely caught in a deep slumber.

Yet, the lingering effects of his severe injuries made him appear incredibly gaunt.

Jiang Fengqi, who had refused to leave his side throughout this ordeal, looked just as drained and hollow.

“Senior Sister Jiang, are you holding up alright?” Xia Chuyi asked, her gaze fixed on Jiang Fengqi’s weary expression, “If you have reached your limit, you should really go and rest for a while.”

“Commander Wang has arranged for people to watch over Wang Zicheng,” Xia Chuyi added, trying to reassure her.

However, Jiang Fengqi simply shook her head in response, “I am fine, Junior Sister Chuyi, there is no need for you to worry about me.”

Jiang Fengqi let out a soft, heavy sigh, “Doctor Guo mentioned that the window for Zicheng to wake up is closing, and the chances are growing thinner by the day.”

“That is why I will remain here and keep speaking to him,” Jiang Fengqi continued, “perhaps if he hears that I have finally agreed to be with him… he might find the strength to open his eyes.”

Turning toward the hospital bed, Jiang Fengqi whispered, “Zicheng, if you manage to wake up, I promise that I will marry you.”

A look of unyielding resolve burned in Jiang Fengqi’s eyes as she uttered those words.

From simply “being together” to the commitment of “marriage,” Xia Chuyi could see clearly that Jiang Fengqi had truly hardened her resolve.

A wave of deep emotion stirred within Xia Chuyi.

“Well… Senior Sister Jiang, I should be heading back now,” Xia Chuyi said, “Wang Zicheng will certainly wake up.”

Jiang Fengqi offered a faint, tired smile and nodded, “Mm, thank you for those kind words.”

As she stepped out of the ward, Xia Chuyi spared one last glance at Jiang Fengqi, a firm resolution forming in her heart.

Xia Chuyi was no god; she possessed no power to save every soul in existence.

But for someone like Wang Zicheng, whose plight involved no dark fate-related issues and who was someone she considered an acquaintance.

If she had the capability to intervene but chose to turn a blind eye, she knew her conscience would be plagued by guilt, much like Jiang Fengqi’s present sorrow.

With her mind made up, Xia Chuyi returned home, possessing a newfound sense of purpose.

After gathering the necessary medicinal food recipe and the exotic ingredients, she presented them to Huo Shiqian.

Watching as she suddenly produced the rare items, Huo Shiqian paused for a moment of silent reflection before sighing, “These types of things shouldn't be revealed so impulsively in the future.”

The recipe itself was manageable, as it had been stored in her memory.

But the ingredients—where had she acquired them when she hadn't stepped foot outside recently?

Xia Chuyi simply smiled and whispered, “Don’t worry, hubby. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have produced them so casually.”

Amused yet feeling helpless, Huo Shiqian chuckled, “Fine, just take my advice to heart.”

Xia Chuyi nodded obediently with a light smile, “Okay!”

Having handed off the recipe and the ingredients, a heavy weight lifted from Xia Chuyi’s chest.

A month later, news reached Xia Chuyi that Wang Zicheng had finally regained consciousness.

Everyone hailed it as a miracle, and a long-sought peace finally settled in Xia Chuyi’s heart.

With Wang Zicheng now conscious, the lingering shadows left behind by Mr. Liu had been thoroughly purged.

The Capital City returned to its state of quiet tranquility.

Putting the ordeal behind her, Xia Chuyi returned to her work at “Youwei.”
