Chapter 1069 I will stay with you and take care of you

One sentence silenced everyone in the family. Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly, "I can't hide anything from you."

Xingxing said, "That's the only reason. Xia Wenhe definitely doesn't want to raise this child. Xia Wanwan is still injured and can't even take care of herself, so we can only ask Mommy for help. This child will probably have to stay with us for a long time."

“That’s right.” Xia Ningxi did not deny it.

The child will indeed be staying with them for a long time; at the very least, they can only take the child away after Xia Wanwan has fully recovered.

However, Xia Wanwan is currently preoccupied with her own health issues, and her wounds have become infected multiple times, putting her life in danger at any moment. If Xia Wanwan does not survive, the burden of raising this child will fall on Xia Ningxi's shoulders.

Xingxing said, "Mommy, are you mentally prepared? This child is still so young and needs a professional nanny to take care of him."

"It's alright, I'll find a nanny tomorrow." Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly.

Perhaps because Xia Wanwan had saved Chu Chu, none of the three children blamed Xia Ningxi, and sometimes they would even help take care of the children.

Perhaps children just like to play with other children. Huo Suian would cry and fuss with anyone else, but he was very well-behaved when he was with Huo Yuan and the others. He didn't cry or fuss and just laughed happily.

Xia Ningxi was also saved a lot of trouble.

When Huo Nanxiao returned and saw Huo Suian, he fell silent.

Huo Yuan was very happy: "Daddy, look, little brother Sui'an is also in our house. He's so small, he can't even talk yet."

Huo Nanxiao hugged Huo Yuan tightly and asked, "When was he sent here?"

Huo Yuan said, "Mom picked up my little brother Sui'an on her way home from get off work this evening, saying he would stay with us for a while. But Mom hasn't found a nanny yet, so she doesn't have time to take care of Sui'an."

"I understand." Huo Nanxiao had a plan in mind.

He called Ye Su, and soon two live-in nannies came to his house and took Huo Suian away.

After learning about this, Xia Ningxi went to Huo Nanxiao and asked him, "I heard that you hired a nanny to take care of Huo Sui'an."

"Well, I'll find a suitable adopter in a couple of days. The child won't stay with you for long. You can focus on your work and don't need to get involved in this." Huo Nanxiao didn't want Xia Ningxi to get involved.

Xia Ningxi said, "Sui'an is not in good health. What suitable person can you find? Today, Xia Wanwan personally came to me for help. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to turn around and send the child away."

"Whether it's suitable or not doesn't matter. This isn't your child, and you shouldn't have to take on the responsibility of raising him. Wanwan won't recover in a short time. You've already worked hard enough taking care of three children; there's no need to waste your time on someone else." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm.

Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes: "Does Xia Wanwan know about this?"

"She doesn't need to know," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Xia Ningxi said, "She saved Chu Chu. If I take in this child, it will be my way of repaying her kindness. I don't want to owe anyone anything."

“But this isn’t Wanwan’s child, so there’s no benefit for you to raise him,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi said, "This is truly the child that Xia Wanwan decided to raise. Even if it's not her biological child, it's practically her biological child. She can't have children, and her biggest wish is to have a child. She must really want to raise this child."

"It's too early to say anything about that now." Huo Nanxiao's expression was solemn. "It's still uncertain whether she can recover."

Xia Ningxi said, "As long as she takes good care of herself and the doctor takes good care of her, she should be fine. Don't let her worry too much during this time. Let her rest and recuperate, go to bed early, and that will boost her immunity."

"So, you're determined to keep this child?" Huo Nanxiao looked at her with a complicated expression.

Xia Ningxi replied, "It's just one more mouth to feed. Since you've already hired two nannies for the children, let them stay here. The children can play with Huo Suian in their spare time."

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao did not insist any further.

In the end, Huo Suian stayed at Xia Ningxi's house.

Huo Nanxiao didn't like the child, so he never went to see him. Xia Ningxi was too busy and could only visit him when she had free time. However, the three children always went to play with Huo Suian.

Children's hearts are pure, and they wouldn't hold a grudge against Huo Sui'an just because the child's mother is Xia Luoluo.

Several days later, Xia Wenhe finally contacted Xia Ningxi and asked to see the child. Xia Ningxi refused, knowing that Xia Wenhe's visit was not for anything good and that he could not possibly love the child. She suspected he was up to some bad intentions.

It was only later that they learned that Xia Wanwan was seriously ill and had left all her assets to Huo Suian, including the multi-million dollar villa and company shares that Huo Nanxiao had recently gifted to her.

These things are enough for Xia Wenhe to make a comeback, which is why he came so excitedly to pick up the child.

Xia Ningxi knew that this child was not from a high-ranking family. If he really fell into Xia Wenhe's hands, he would not take good care of him. Once the child was no longer of use, Xia Wenhe would kick him away without hesitation.

She did hope that Xia Wanwan could be alright.

However, news came from the hospital that Xia Wanwan was in critical condition.

Huo Nanxiao had been living at home, but went to the hospital immediately after receiving the critical condition notice.

Xia Wanwan's condition worsened, leading to heart failure due to a severe infection. She was eventually saved by receiving an artificial heart, but her condition was already extremely poor.

Xia Wenhe was unwilling to take on Xia Wanwan, a burden, and Huo Nanxiao couldn't just stand by and watch Xia Wanwan die.

After her surgery, Huo Nanxiao stayed with her in the ward. During the long period of rejection, Xia Wanwan attempted suicide several times, but Huo Nanxiao stopped her each time.

Xia Ningxi brought a medical team to give Xia Wanwan a full-body examination and found that her condition was too serious, so they had no choice but to take over.

Brian stayed on as Xia Wanwan's attending physician to protect and support her.

However, Xia Wanwan's will to live was very weak, and she kept crying after waking up.

Huo Nanxiao didn't know what to say, so he held her hand and whispered to comfort her, "Don't cry, you'll be alright."

Xia Wanwan's eyes were red: "I can't go back, I can never go back."

"It's alright. Modern medicine can ensure your safety for the rest of your life. Trust me, as long as I'm still here, I won't let you die alone," Huo Nanxiao comforted her.

Xia Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears: "Really?"

"Really, once you're feeling better, I'll take you home to recuperate," Huo Nanxiao assured her.

Xia Wanwan shook her head: "I don't want to go back. I don't want to live in that cold and quiet house."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I will go back with you and take care of you."

A glimmer of light appeared in Xia Wanwan's previously gloomy eyes.
