Chapter 125 Attempted Murder

Should Xia Ningxi be the one to receive Xia Wanwan?

It's unbelievable that the dean could say something like that.

Xia Ningxi didn't know who came up with the idea.

The dean said, "Don't refuse. This was arranged by Miss Xia. She said that if you can take good care of this patient, you don't need to resign."

Xia Ningxi didn't believe that such a good thing was waiting for her.

Xia Luoluo knew perfectly well that she and Xia Wanwan had a grudge, so her sudden act of secretly helping Xia Wanwan transfer to another hospital and specifically requesting that Xia Ningxi be Xia Wanwan's attending physician meant that there must be a trap waiting for her behind the scenes.

"Where is she? I need to see her," Xia Ningxi asked.

The hospital director said, "In ward 302."

Xia Ningxi walked straight towards ward 302.

Pushing open the door, I saw a woman lying on the hospital bed, her body covered in tubes, a stranger yet somehow familiar.

After many years, the former socialite had become emaciated and lay lifeless on her hospital bed.

Meanwhile, Xia Luoluo sat in a chair, casually sipping her tea.

"Here you are." The simple two words seemed to indicate that he had already anticipated Xia Ningxi's arrival.

Xia Ningxi said, "What are you doing?"

“My sister wasn’t feeling well at Ninghai Hospital, so I brought her to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I heard you’re the most versatile general practitioner here, so it’s a blessing for you to take care of my sister. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?” Xia Luoluo asked with a smile.

Xia Ningxi said, "I refuse."

“Since you’re still working at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, you have no reason to refuse. Unless you leave, I have the right to appoint you as her attending physician.” Xia Luoluo had already guessed that Xia Ningxi wouldn’t agree.

What she wanted was for Xia Ningxi to refuse, so that she could rightfully kick Xia Ningxi out of the hospital.

Xia Ningxi knew what Xia Luoluo was planning.

"I am now Huo Yuan's private physician and do not see patients outside the hospital. We have plenty of capable doctors in our hospital, so you can go find someone else."

Xia Ningxi turned and left.

Xia Luoluo said sternly, "Xia Ningxi, are you afraid to treat my sister because you're afraid of her?"

Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks, her aura gradually turning cold: "What am I afraid of her for?"

"If it weren't for you, how could she have become like this? You must be secretly happy right now, right? Without my sister's interference, you can stand rightfully by Huo Nanxiao's side. Do you really think Huo Nanxiao truly likes you? If he truly cared about you, he wouldn't have left you alone in the hospital in the first place," Xia Luoluo mocked.

Xia Ningxi clenched her fists, turned around, looked at Xia Luoluo's nervous face, and curled her lips into a disdainful smile: "Not everyone is like you, with only Huo Nanxiao in their eyes."

Xia Luoluo's expression turned very unnatural in an instant. "If you don't care about Huo Nanxiao, why are you getting so close to him? Isn't it because you saw that my sister hasn't woken up yet, and you're eyeing the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family?"

Xia Ningxi ignored her and walked away quickly.

Xia Luoluo became anxious and shouted angrily, "Xia Ningxi, you stop right there! You're the one who caused my sister's condition, you have to heal her!"

“She’s not my patient, and I have no obligation to do so.” Xia Ningxi refused Xia Luoluo’s request without any politeness.

"Fine, if you don't care about my sister, I'll go out and expose what you did back then, and also let Huo Yuan know what kind of person you are."

Xia Luoluo sneered disdainfully, "If Huo Yuan knew you were a murderer who attempted murder, would he still like you as much as he does now?"

"No one would want their mother to be a murderer, right?"

Xia Luoluo mocked viciously.

Xia Ningxi said angrily, "How dare you!"

Xia Luoluo sneered: "You should have known this day would come when you did such a despicable thing back then."

"You only have two choices now: either take care of my sister until she recovers and wakes up, or let everyone in the hospital know that you almost killed my sister back then in order to get into Huo Nanxiao's bed."

"I'd like to see how a murderer who attempted murder will ever be able to stand in the capital again! Which hospital will want to hire you?"

If word gets out about what Xia Ningxi did in the past, her future will be ruined.

The Huo family would not allow a murderer to take care of Huo Yuan, much less allow Huo Yuan to recognize Xia Ningxi, a person with a terrible record, as his mother.

The Huo family also cares about their reputation.

Xia Luoluo crossed her arms and looked down at Xia Ningxi with an arrogant gaze, as if she were looking at a heinous criminal.

Xia Ningxi clenched her fists and said, "Xia Wanwan's condition has nothing to do with me. If you want to go around telling people, then go ahead."

"It has nothing to do with you? Do you think anyone will believe that? Even Huo Nanxiao, who has shared a bed with you for two years, doesn't believe you. If you really don't care, then I'll go tell Huo Yuan right now and let him know what kind of person you are. I want to see if Huo Yuan will still pay attention to you, the murderer."

Xia Luoluo walked straight out, eager to expose the matter to everyone.

Xia Ningxi's reputation was ruined because of the Yu family's affair. She had just managed to clear her name, and if rumors were to spread that she had persecuted Xia Wanwan...

She could disregard other people's opinions, but she was afraid that Huo Yuan would dislike her.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi loosened her clenched fist and said, "I can take over Xia Wanwan's patient, but Huo Nanxiao must know."

"Do you think Huo Nanxiao will let you get close to my sister?" Xia Luoluo asked back.

Xia Ningxi said, "Since you know Huo Nanxiao won't let me get close to her, why did you insist on making me her private doctor?"

"Isn't it because you're a doctor the dean specially invited back from abroad? If it weren't for your abilities, would you have gotten such a good opportunity?" Xia Luoluo mocked.

Xia Ningxi sneered; she didn't believe Xia Luoluo was that kind-hearted.

Bringing Xia Wanwan to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was definitely Xia Luoluo's doing.

She knew that this was what Huo Nanxiao cared about most, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao had never believed her from beginning to end. She brought Xia Wanwan here to constantly remind Huo Nanxiao that Xia Wanwan's current state was all Xia Ningxi's fault.

This matter remains a hurdle in the hearts of Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao, even after so many years.

Xia Ningxi saw through Xia Luoluo's thoughts at a glance and found it utterly ridiculous.

After giving Xia Wanwan a thorough full-body examination, he told Xia Luoluo, "I can't cure your sister's illness."

"I said you have to get treatment, so you have to get treatment." Xia Luoluo's attitude was very firm.
