After Getting Abandoned, I Choose to Become the General’s Wife Novel - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: The Search For Family
After returning to the town, the three of them were tired, so they went back to their accommodation to rest.

That night, Shao Xiang sat alone in the courtyard of the hotel, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

Fang Ya walked over and sat opposite Shao Xiang. “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

“Do you think there’s an afterlife? Or only oblivion awaits?” Shao Xiang asked Fang Ya.

“If it’s the latter, they would have died not knowing of my guilt, not knowing how much I missed them!” Shao Xiang’s eyes were still staring at the sky.

Fang Ya sighed, not knowing how to answer Shao Xiang.

Her experience was different from the others.

She did not know if their afterlife would be like hers.

But she was proof of her own afterlife, and she had more choices than the others!

She had been extremely lucky. She had been most grateful for this second chance.

Fang Ya gently held Shao Xiang’s hand and said, “Don’t dwell on it. People can’t come back from the dead. If you want them to be at ease, you have to give yourself a better life.”

Shao Xiang lowered her head and looked at Fang Ya. “Do you think your father would blame me?”

“I remember that when he died, he really wanted to see you, but…” Shao Xiang said and hesitated. She did not know how to proceed.

Fang Ya pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “That’s all in the past! If dad could see us together now, he would be very happy!”

Shao Xiang looked at Fang Ya, and a faint smile appeared on her face. “Okay! I’ll make sure he stays that way!”

Fang Ya gently gripped Shao Xiang’s hand. “Don’t think too much! We’ll go find your two brothers tomorrow. We have to look after the living now!”

Shao Xiang nodded, but she seemed to be a little hesitant.

Fang Ya saw Shao Xiang’s hesitation. She thought for a moment and then said, “No matter what, they’re family after all. We haven’t seen each other for so many years. You also want to know if they’re doing well, right?

“So many years have passed. Perhaps they’ve already forgotten about me!” Shao Xiang said and sighed.

“No way! You don’t lose siblings that easily! No matter how far away they are, they will always be family!” Fang Ya said firmly.

Shao Xiang gazed at Fang Ya and said, “You’re right! No matter how they treat me, as long as they are alive, it’s good!”

Fang Ya gently patted Shao Xiang’s hand as if to comfort and encourage her.

The next morning, based on the address given by the village chief, Fang Ya and the others found Shao Xiang’s brother’s residence.

Looking at the locked door in front of them, Shao Xiang and Fang Ya looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

Fang Ya walked to the next room and knocked on the door, asking about Shao Xiang’s brother’s house.

The neighbor said that Shao Xiang’s brother had brought his son to the city a few days ago trying to enroll him into a technical school, so he had to go through the registration procedures.

Hearing this news, Shao Xiang’s clenched heart relaxed just a little.

At least nothing had happened. It was a good thing for Shao Xiang that her brother’s son could actually qualify for a technical school!

Since her brother could not be seen for the time being, Fang Ya brought Shao Xiang to the hospital address given by the village chief.

After the hospital checked the medical records, they informed Fang Ya that the patient had been transferred from the hospital to a small clinic in the town.

Fang Ya frowned as she looked at the address given by the hospital.

Fang Ya should have passed by this place earlier, but she did not remember any small clinic.

According to the information provided by the hospital, Shao Xiang’s second brother had been in the hospital for more than half a year. Although the injuries on his body had recovered a little, he had almost lost his ability to work due to injuries to his internal organs. He needed to recuperate quietly.

The hospital’s hospitalization fees were very high. Her second brother’s family could not afford it at all, so they could only bring him back home.

Shao Xiang looked at the address in Fang Ya’s hands with some disappointment.

She had gone to look for her family twice a day, but she had come up empty-handed.

Fang Ya did not give up. Instead, she looked for the address of the clinic.

Because they were all in town, the distance was not too far, to begin with.

The group of people came to the entrance of the clinic and found that it was no longer called a clinic. Instead, there was a big sign “Sanatorium”.

This name sounded very high-end. Only in the city would there be such an outfit.

However, they did not expect that there would be such an organization in this poor and remote village?

Fang Ya knocked on the door suspiciously. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her thirties.

The woman looked at Fang Ya and the others and asked impatiently, “Who are you people?”

Fang Ya looked at the woman and asked softly, “Excuse me, was this originally a clinic?”

“What do you want? If you have something to say, just say it!” The woman grew even more impatient.

“We want to look for someone, someone called Shao Qiang,” Shao Xiang said somewhat excitedly.

When the woman heard this name, she was stunned for a moment before saying, “Wait a minute!”

After the woman finished speaking, she closed the door again.
