"Shut up!"

Xia Xuan shouted with red eyes, her heart aching more and more.

"Tsk, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Go cut your vegetables. Songbai will be off work soon, and you haven't even cooked this one yet." Miao Cuixia pointed at the chopping board and found fault with her. "I told you to cut the cucumber and carrot into diamond-shaped slices, but what you did is a mess."

As she spoke, she tried to grab the kitchen knife from Xia Xuan's hand to demonstrate it to her. However, she accidentally lost her grip on the knife and when it fell, the sharp blade landed right on Xia Xuan's instep.

Xia Xuan was instantly overcome by the pain. After several seconds, she squatted down and covered the wound with the hem of her skirt to prevent the blood from flowing out too quickly. At the same time, her heart ached unbearably, and cold sweats broke out on her body. She breathlessly said, "Call 120..."

Miao Cuixia put her hands on her hips and looked at her with disdain: "Why call 120? You are so pretentious. This is just a small wound. Just wrap it with a piece of cloth and it will heal. This is how we used to treat it."

Chen Songbai happened to arrive home and was horrified when he saw the scene in the kitchen. Without asking a single question, he immediately took out his cell phone and called the emergency number. When he went to check on Xia Xuan, she had already fainted.

In the ICU, a voice broadcast reminds family members that visiting hours are over and asks them to leave as soon as possible without lingering.

Xia Xi was furious when she learned what had happened. She bent down and gently comforted Xia Xuan, "Don't think about anything. Get well first. I'll support you. We're not afraid."

Xia Xuan felt a lump in her throat and uttered a muffled "hmm".

Su Jinru and Xia Xi left the ICU and ran into Chen Songbai, who had just returned from dinner. He walked over quickly, looking anxious, and said, "I heard Xuanxuan is awake and can visit now."

Xia Xi took off his disposable rubber gloves and threw them into the big blue trash can beside him. Without saying a word, he slapped Chen Songbai.

There was a "click" sound in the corridor, and the family members who came out of the ICU looked over.

Miao Cuixia, who was following closely behind Chen Songbai, was stunned for a second. Then, like an angry lioness, she jumped up and hit Xia Xi: "You were acting so mean yesterday, and now you're actually hitting me today! You dare to hit my son? I'll kill you, you little bitch!"
