Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 1100 Tired of Pretending?
Xia Wanwan refused Xia Ningxi's attempt to save her, even though blood stained her neck. She remained defiant and her attitude was extremely forceful.
Xia Ningxi could also see that Xia Wanwan was blaming Xia Ningxi for all the mistakes.
Xia Wanwan always felt that it was Xia Ningxi's fault that things had turned out this way.
Xia Ningxi fell silent. Looking at Xia Wanwan's desperate face, as a doctor, she wanted to save Xia Wanwan, but as a human being, she only felt heartbroken.
She stood still, coldly watching Xia Wanwan's pale face, and asked, "Have you thought this through? If you die, you'll have nothing left."
"I am not you. Without him, I would rather die." Xia Wanwan burst into tears.
Xia Ningxi said, "You weren't like this before. You're trying to kill yourself for a man. You're really ridiculous."
She couldn't understand Xia Wanwan's thought process, but she now clearly knew that Xia Wanwan simply wouldn't listen to her.
There were many doctors present, so she took a step back.
Upon seeing this, Don immediately gestured to Brian, who stepped forward to treat Xia Wanwan's wounds, but was also pushed away by Xia Wanwan.
She refused any help from anyone, so desperate that she only wanted to die there.
And all of this was for Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi's attempt to pretend she knew nothing wouldn't work, so she didn't choose to interfere but instead left the choice to Huo Nanxiao.
"You can decide for yourself," Xia Ningxi said calmly.
She wasn't swayed by Xia Wanwan's crying, tantrums, and threats of suicide; she only found the woman in front of her utterly ridiculous.
Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Wanwan changed from dislike to extreme dislike.
Faced with Xia Wanwan's suicidal thoughts, he wanted to persuade her to calm down and not to foolishly gamble with her life, but it was no use.
But at this moment, Huo Nanxiao couldn't say anything. He knew that what Xia Wanwan wanted from the beginning was the status of the young mistress of the Huo family, and what she wanted was for him to accompany her for the rest of her life.
In the past, Huo Nanxiao would almost always soften his heart and grant her all her unreasonable requests whenever Xia Wanwan was feeling down. But now, Huo Nanxiao suddenly doesn't want to pay attention to her anymore.
When he met Xia Wanwan's pitiful gaze, Huo Nanxiao was calmer than ever: "Think carefully about your own life."
Xia Wanwan was shocked, seemingly not expecting Huo Nanxiao to be so cold-hearted. She tightened her grip on the knife, her eyes filled with unbearable pain.
Huo Nanxiao remained indifferent to her: "You're an adult now. You should think carefully about the consequences before doing anything. There's nothing between us anymore. If you really can't get over it, I'll grant your wish."
"Okay." Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile and took the knife, stabbing it into her neck once more.
But this time, they were stopped.
Brian snatched the knife from Xia Wanwan's hand and threw it away, cursing, "Are you out of your mind? If you stab me again, I won't be able to save you."
Xia Wanwan's eyes were red: "Anyway, this is how my life will be."
"Since that's the case, there's no need to save you anymore. I'll buy you a better burial plot," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Wanwan couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Everyone present looked at Huo Nanxiao, almost thinking they had misheard.
Brian was speechless at Huo Nanxiao's words. He couldn't help but question, "Are you here to help her or to send her on her way? Is this how you advise someone?"
Huo Nanxiao did not answer Brian's question. His cold eyes quietly looked at the weak Xia Wanwan. "The choice has always been in your hands. Whether you live or die, you make your own decision. I will not pay for your impulsiveness. You are an adult. You have to pay the price for any decision you make."
"It was like this before, and it will be like this now!"
A ruthless statement would completely sever the ties between the two of them!
Xia Wanwan was trembling all over, and her blood was flowing even more profusely from her neck due to her extreme emotional state.
Several doctors rushed over and hurriedly gathered together to treat Xia Wanwan, but the stubborn girl wouldn't allow anyone to touch her, stubbornly pushing everyone away.
"Don't touch me, I don't need you to save me, I don't need anyone to save me!" Xia Wanwan was still muttering to herself.
Huo Nanxiao watched all of this with a cold eye, remaining calm and silent.
He was completely immune to Xia Wanwan's unreasonable behavior. At this point, what Xia Wanwan said or did was no longer important to Huo Nanxiao; her life was always her own.
She doesn't want to live; she has plenty of ways to kill herself.
If the price of her living is to haunt Huo Nanxiao for the rest of her life, then he is unwilling to be a good person, nor is he willing to take on this responsibility.
"You can decide for yourselves. If you can save her, then save her; if you can't, then forget it. It's her own choice, and no one else can interfere."
Huo Nanxiao spoke coldly.
People around him turned to look at him.
Ling Shuang said, "President Huo, if you don't persuade her now, she might really lose her life!"
Lin Jiangbei couldn't help but persuade her, "We can't just let a perfectly healthy person die in front of us, can we? She just loved you too much, what could she have done wrong?"
"Mr. Huo, Xia Wanwan's crime doesn't warrant death. Even if you don't like her, you should at least try to appease her. We can only try to save her once she's calmed down."
Everyone tried to persuade him.
When it really comes down to life and death, no one really wants Xia Wanwan to die; they all hope that Xia Wanwan can be alright.
Anyone could see that Xia Wanwan's crazy behavior was all because she loved Huo Nanxiao too much.
Once she comes to her senses, she might regret her decision.
Everyone hoped that Huo Nanxiao could say a few words to Xia Wanwan at this time, at least to prevent her from going so far as to commit suicide.
Huo Nanxiao said nothing, standing motionless in front of everyone, his cold face devoid of any emotion.
Xia Wanwan could also see that Huo Nanxiao was truly unwilling to accept her life or death this time, and she suddenly felt that her whole life was a joke.
Everyone envied her back then, thinking that she could marry Huo Nanxiao and spend her life with him, and she always thought so too.
Even with Xia Ningxi's presence, Xia Wanwan firmly believed that her relationship with Huo Nanxiao was different from Xia Ningxi's. But now it seems that her existence is really not important to Huo Nanxiao at all.
If Huo Nanxiao truly loved her, even if he only had a tiny bit of love for her, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, would he?
Xia Wanwan felt utterly hopeless. When she saw the doctor bandaging her wounds, she didn't hesitate to tear off the bandage from her neck.
"Don't touch me, I don't need anyone to save me, this is my own choice, just let me die." Her hoarse voice was filled with sobs. At this moment, she was heartbroken and had no will to live.
Cao Xiuxian angrily said, "It doesn't matter if you die? This is my son's wedding. How can it not matter if you die at his wedding banquet!"
"Even if you're really feeling down, you should find somewhere else. What did the Ling family do to offend you?"
"It's infuriating. Even if you're going to put on a show or commit suicide for love, you shouldn't affect others. Do you think that if you put a knife to your throat, someone will feel sorry for you?"
"You're so foolish, overestimating yourself, thinking too highly of yourself! If Huo Nanxiao truly loved you, he would never let you get hurt!"
Wasn't Huo Nanxiao determined to leave Xia Wanwan precisely because he didn't love her?
Why can't Xia Wanwan see the truth?
Now that things had come to this, Cao Xiuxian didn't want anyone to die on such a joyous occasion; she felt it was extremely unlucky. She immediately said to Huo Nanxiao, "Mr. Huo, I don't care what your relationship is now, but Xia Wanwan came here with your invitation. Please take her away immediately!"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Just take her to the hospital. I'm not a doctor, I can't treat her."
Cao Xiuxian frowned: "You mean we're just going to ignore it?"
Huo Nanxiao replied, "As an outsider, I really can't control this."
Cao Xiuxian's face turned cold, and she angrily rebuked Xia Wanwan: "Did you hear that? Huo Nanxiao is just an outsider, he has nothing to do with you. Who are you trying to impress with this scene?"
"Who cares about you? Nobody cares! What are you doing, being so stupid? Can't you live without a man? Did your parents raise you just so you'd die for a man? You're so despicable!"
Ling Shuang tugged at Cao Xiuxian's clothes: "Stop talking, or she'll die."
Cao Xiuxian didn't listen. As a mother, she couldn't help but get angry at the thought that the child she had raised with so much effort would die for a man. Even though Xia Wanwan wasn't her child, she was still angry!
She showed no sympathy for Xia Wanwan and immediately threatened, "If you want to die, go outside. Don't dirty my place, it's bad luck!"
"Men, carry her out of here!"
At Cao Xiuxian's command, several bodyguards rushed over, ready to carry Xia Wanwan away and throw her out.
The doctors present were all very helpless and did not want to watch Xia Wanwan die, so in the end they stopped her.
Xia Wanwan initially tried to struggle and resist, but Tang En directly threatened her: "If you move again, I really won't care about you anymore. If I don't care, no one else will either. Think carefully about whether you want to die."
One sentence silenced Xia Wanwan. She had been looking at Huo Nanxiao the whole time, clearly hoping he would speak. But even though blood had stained her neck, Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of stopping her.
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile.
When Tang En was treating Xia Wanwan's wounds, he also noticed something was wrong.
The human neck is the most vulnerable part of the body, with major arteries nearby. A single mishap can lead to fatal bleeding, and often, once injured, it is almost impossible to save the person.
Xia Wanwan's knife strike avoided all the vital points, leading the sensitive and suspicious Tang En to suspect that Xia Wanwan was staging the whole thing.
His gaze towards Xia Wanwan turned colder.
Brian, standing nearby, clearly also suspected Xia Wanwan's intentions, and his dislike for her grew even stronger; they felt they had been played.
Those who didn't know Xia Wanwan didn't notice her little schemes and just thought she was lucky to have escaped a disaster.
After treating Xia Wanwan's wound, Tang En snorted coldly: "Next time, if you really can't think straight, you can just aim at the carotid artery. That way you'll definitely succeed. You must be tired after pretending for so long, right?"
Xia Wanwan was completely shocked!
Tang En said, "I'm a doctor, so I can't stump you with your little schemes, and naturally, I can't hide them from others either. It seems there's some truth to the fact that Huo Nanxiao would rather you die than reunite with you."
