Chapter 11 Do you want to run away with Huo Yuan?

How could Huo Yuan have become like this?

Xia Ningxi's heart was breaking.

"A-Yuan, don't be afraid."

Huo Yuan, with tears in his eyes, said, "Don't turn off the lights."

"Okay, I won't turn off the light. Are you afraid of the dark? Come into my arms, I'll protect you." Xia Ningxi hugged the trembling Huo Yuan.

He didn't struggle, he just kept trembling and cried for a long time before his emotions stabilized.

Xia Ningxi re-bandaged his wound, put Huo Yuan back on the bed, turned on all the lights in the ward, and sat down next to Huo Yuan: "A Yuan, tell me, why can't we turn off the lights?"

“There will be rats,” Huo Yuan replied in a hoarse voice.

Xia Ningxi frowned: "This is a hospital, there won't be any rats."

"Really?" Huo Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with tears.

Xia Ningxi said firmly, "I promise you, there won't be any mice, nothing at all. Go to sleep, okay?"

"Hmm." Huo Yuan nodded, then fell silent, his eyes wide open. He was clearly very sleepy, but he refused to fall asleep.

Xia Ningxi frowned more and more as she watched Huo Yuan's strange behavior. She said, "Yuan, how about I show you a magic trick?"

Huo Yuan remained expressionless and silent.

Huo Nanxiao frowned. Had this woman learned magic tricks during the years she had been missing?

Xia Ningxi simply took out a pocket watch and waved it in front of Huo Yuan.

Within minutes, Huo Yuan's eyes, which were wide open like copper bells, closed, and he fell fast asleep.

Huo Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Huo Yuan's side, and carefully covered him with a blanket.

A very subtle gesture caught Xia Ningxi's eye, and she was somewhat taken aback. In her memory, Huo Nanxiao was not a man who knew how to take care of people. Even if she was shivering from the cold at night, Huo Nanxiao would not pay attention to her.

Xia Ningxi clutched the gauze she had just removed from Huo Yuan's hand; it was covered in blood. A mother's heart is connected to her child's; Huo Yuan's injuries pained her more than anyone else, and she wanted to stay here to protect him more than anyone else.

"I'll stay and watch over him tonight," Xia Ningxi said, lowering her eyes.

"No." The man's attitude was very firm.

Xia Ningxi said, "He is my son, and he needs me now."

“He is not.” Huo Nanxiao’s eyes were cold.

Xia Ningxi clenched her fists tightly, and she angrily questioned Huo Nanxiao: "You have already deprived me of my rights as Huo Yuan's mother. Can't I even stay and take care of him for one night?"

Huo Nanxiao remained silent.

He didn't know what came over him; he suddenly softened at that moment, which was ridiculous.

All of this is her own fault.

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her run away with the child."

In the end, Huo Nanxiao did not drive Xia Ningxi away, but gave orders to the bodyguards outside the door.

The bodyguard was puzzled. Why was this young doctor taking the young master with him?

They didn't dare ask any more questions.

As Huo Nanxiao left, he stepped on a cell phone; the screen was already broken, and a call was coming in.

If an ordinary phone had fallen to the ground, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't have picked it up at all. But he was drawn to the photo on the phone's home screen. It was a picture of a very beautiful girl smiling against the sunlight. This person was Xia Ningxi.

Huo Nanxiao picked up the phone as if possessed, and his face instantly darkened after seeing the caller ID.

My dearest baby.

Did Xia Ningxi disappear for the past few years to run off and have affairs with other men?

Huo Nanxiao felt a cool sensation on the top of his head!

The veins bulging in his hand crushed the already cracked phone screen! The incoming call was immediately disconnected.

Xia Xingxing sat in the empty clinic, staring blankly at her small phone: "What is Mommy doing? She hasn't come back for so long and isn't answering the phone. Has she forgotten that she has a precious son like me?"

"Was my phone stolen?"

Xia Xingxing's little face suddenly turned serious. He secretly ran into the monitoring room, entered the system, and checked the location. His mother's phone was indeed in the hospital.

Why isn't Mommy answering my calls?

Xia Xingxing was puzzled. Usually, even when his mother was busy, she would reply to his messages. It was unusual for her to not respond at all.

Remembering what her colleagues had said when she passed by the clinic during the day, Xia Xingxing knew that Xia Ningxi had offended a very rich person. Could it be that he had retaliated against her mother by kidnapping her?

Xia Xingxing immediately accessed the hospital's surveillance footage and accurately located the phone's position.

Outside the VIP ward stood a super handsome man, dressed in a black suit, looking extremely cool, and in his hand, he was holding a cell phone with a shattered screen!

Xia Xingxing recognized it at a glance—it was her mother's phone!

Why did it end up in his hands?!

What did he do to Mommy!

Xia Xingxing was very excited and used the mouse to look around, searching for Xia Ningxi's whereabouts.

The surveillance camera spun erratically in the direction Xia Xingxing controlled, attracting Huo Nanxiao's attention. He looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on the camera.

Someone is watching him.

Who is it? Could it be related to Xia Ningxi?

Huo Nanxiao's aura changed.

A flash of cold light startled Xia Xingxing, who was checking the surveillance footage on the other end.

This man has such a powerful aura, it's a bit intimidating.

Did he find me?

Problem!

I have no interest in you, I just want to find my mommy!

Xia Xingxing ignored him and continued to check the surveillance footage. She quickly found Xia Ningxi, who was locked in the ward behind the handsome uncle.

Xia Xingxing looked at Xia Ningxi's shattered phone, then at the dozen or so burly men standing outside the ward, and realized that these people were the ones who had made things difficult for her mother at the hospital.

It must be!

Is this handsome older man their leader?

He doesn't look like a good person at all!

Xia Xingxing snorted coldly and turned off the hospital lights.

He then slipped out of the monitoring room.

The hospital corridor was pitch black at one o'clock in the morning.

"What's going on?" the bodyguard asked loudly.

A hospital staff member ran out and said, "It seems there's a problem with the lighting control; we've already notified the electrician to come and fix it."

Bodyguard: "Young Master Huo, it's alright, the power will be back on soon."

Huo Nanxiao didn't speak. He felt the door beside him being opened. His eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to block it. The next second, a soft body crashed into his arms.

Huo Nanxiao was slightly taken aback.

The faint disinfectant solution carried a refreshing fragrance, a scent he was familiar with.

The woman in his arms let out a muffled groan and struggled, but Huo Nanxiao held her tightly in his arms.

It's Xia Ningxi!

Where is she trying to run off to? Is she going to see that other man?

Huo Nanxiao asked angrily, "Where are you going?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Why are you still here?"

"What? You still want to run away with Huo Yuan?"

He frantically forced Xia Ningxi back into the ward, slammed the door shut, pinned her against the back of the door, and pinched her waist hard.

Xia Ningxi winced in pain and cursed, "You're crazy!" which angered Huo Nanxiao!
