The Divine Healer Gets a Divorce after Reincarnating!

This second brother was initially timid, but ever since they had gone their separate ways, his temper had grown increasingly volatile. In particular, when under the influence of alcohol, he would recklessly lash out without differentiating between right and wrong.

Xia Hai was apprehensive that Xia He and company might disturb the children’s well-deserved rest. His intention was to see them off after a brief conversation.

Yet, Xia He, persisting stubbornly, chose to lie down on the sofa and collapse, defying all expectations.

Xia Chen had just returned from school and, upon entering, spotted Xia He sprawled out on the couch, with Chen Lian seated beside him. Meanwhile, Xia Hai and his wife sat at the dining table, their expressions contorted in bitter resignation.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Xia Chen approached Xia Hai and his wife and inquired.

“Don’t fret about it,” Xia Hai preferred to keep Xia Chen uninvolved and urged him to head upstairs. “Go and check up on Wanwan. She hasn’t had a meal since she returned.”

Xia Chen, comprehending his father’s intention to distance him from the situation, promptly left.

Upon knocking on Xia Wan’s door, he discovered a multitude of blueprints scattered across her desk.

“In such a chaotic setting, you can still sketch. You’re truly remarkable!” Xia Chen complimented, offering a thumbs-up in approval.

Xia Wan responded with a shrug and a smile.

“The background noise?” Xia Chen furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled.

However, Xia Wan refrained from offering an explanation, opting to proceed instead. “Did the teacher invite you over today merely to assist with the project?”

Xia Chen’s eyes lit up, surprised by Xia Wan’s astuteness.

“Yes, my teacher mentioned there’s a skills competition next month. He hopes I can represent the school,” Xia Chen admitted, lowering his gaze slightly and revealing a rare trace of uncertainty.

“That’s wonderful! If you represent the school and secure a prize at the competition, it could potentially bolster your university prospects!” Xia Wan encouraged Xia Chen. “Don’t forgo any opportunities!”

Xia Chen nodded in agreement, though he was somewhat conflicted. “But my teacher stressed that I should engage in a month of training. It’s concerning.”

“Are you anxious that the family won’t manage without you?” Xia Wan teased, blinking as she observed Xia Chen.

Xia Chen felt a bit awkward in response to Xia Wan’s query. “That’s not quite it.”

“With you around, I’m completely at ease!” Xia Chen bit his lip. “Since our separation, while our lifestyle may not be luxurious, it’s considerably more comfortable than before.”

“I understand that your efforts are responsible for our improved circumstances,” Xia Chen stated seriously, his gaze fixed on Xia Wan.

“It’s precisely due to my awareness of this that I sometimes feel rather ineffectual as an elder brother,” Xia Chen sighed. “I can’t contribute much, and..

Without hesitation, Xia Wan reached out and halted Xia Chen. “Alright, alright! Your current mission is to participate in the training camp, achieve first place in the competition, and gain admission to a reputable university.”

“There will be many responsibilities you’ll be able to assist with at home in the future. For now, focus on completing what you can!”

Upon hearing Xia Wan’s reassurances, Xia Chen abandoned his uncertainties. ‘Great! I’ll respond to the teacher tomorrow and commit to the training. Trust me, I’ll win the competition!”

A smile graced Xia Wan’s lips. She lowered her voice and inquired, “What’s happening downstairs?”

Though Xia Wan couldn’t discern the details from her vantage point upstairs, Xia He’s voice intermittently reached her ears. It likely pertained to Li Jin.

Upon their arrival, Yan Han had specifically instructed Xia Wan and the others to remain in their rooms, devoting their time to study.

Xia Wan had little inclination to entertain any relatives and instead cherished the opportunity to work independently within her room.

Upon Xia Chen’s return, he could provide additional insights.

“Second Uncle and Second Aunt are making a scene, accusing Dad and Mom of hiding Grandma and demanding they surrender her,” Xia Chen elaborated with a shrug.

Xia Wan’s expression took on a peculiar hue. “Hand over Grandma? Or hand over Grandma’s money?”

Xia Wan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Leave them be! In any case, they won’t locate her anytime soon.”

“They’ll probably depart on their own tomorrow..”
