Chapter 243 Will You Still Care About Him?

Han Shouli had no idea what had happened.

Han Momo, who was standing nearby, replied, "Father, when Grandpa had the accident at the restaurant, a beautiful woman performed surgery on him and removed the shard that was stuck near his heart."

The doctor said, "The other person must be a very experienced doctor, whose judgment was quite accurate. If she hadn't treated the wound in time, the patient's heart might have been pierced by a sharp object during the handling and jostling, and the patient would have been in mortal danger."

Han Shouli's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that his father's simple fall would have such serious consequences.

Fortunately, a kind person saved his life.

Han Shouli breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said to the surgeon, "I understand, thank you, doctor. You've worked hard."

The surgeon said, "It's nothing, it's all what I should do. You should thank the doctor who stitched up the wounds; she saved the patient's life. I only treated some superficial injuries."

Han Shouli said, "Okay, I will definitely find her and thank her."

The surgeon smiled but didn't say anything.

The elderly man was taken to the observation room.

Han Shouli turned to Han Momo and asked, "Do you remember the name of the person who saved your grandfather?"

Han Momo shook her head: "I don't know her."

Han Shouli said, "She is the one who saved your grandfather. If it weren't for her, your grandfather would probably be dead."

Han Momo nodded: "Yes, we should thank her properly."

Other members of the Han family also arrived at the hospital one after another.

Han Shouli spotted Han Musen immediately and said angrily, "Why are you so late, you brat? Don't you know your grandfather had an accident and is almost dead?"

"Some things have been delayed," Han Musen replied.

Han Shouli angrily asked, "What is it?"

Han Musen said, "I went to eastern Fujian."

"So many days have passed, and you still haven't secured the Mindong project?" Han Shouli rebuked angrily.

Han Musen said, "Mindong is in Huo Nanxiao's hands. I can't take it without his approval."

Han Shouli cursed, "Useless!"

Han Musen lowered his head and remained silent.

"Father, how is Grandpa?" Han Youling asked.

Han Shouli said, "Fortunately, a kind doctor came to your aid, and your grandfather is now asleep. He will wake up after the anesthesia wears off."

Han Musen said, "Then we should thank this doctor properly."

Han Shouli said, "Do you even need to tell me? I've already sent people to investigate her. As for you, you must secure the Mindong project at all costs. Don't forget how much effort I put into getting you sent abroad to launder your money. Those three years in prison can't just be wasted!"

"I know," Han Musen said with a gloomy face.

...

Xia Ningxi kept sneezing on her way home.

She pulled her coat tighter around herself, and after dropping Tang En off at his hotel, she went home.

Xia Ningxi was surprised to find Huo Nanxiao's car parked in front of her house. She quickly went inside and found Huo Nanxiao sitting on the first floor with his legs crossed, reading a magazine.

"Why are you here?" Xia Ningxi walked in.

The man glanced sideways, his sharp gaze landing on Xia Ningxi, and he immediately noticed the bloodstains on her sleeves and clothes.

"What's wrong with you?" Huo Nanxiao's expression changed.

Xia Ningxi said, "It's nothing, I'm going to wash my hands."

She washed the blood off her hands, but the blood on her clothes wouldn't come off.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "What happened? Why are you covered in blood?"

"I encountered an injured passerby while I was eating, so I helped him. This blood is his," Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

Huo Nanxiao's sharp gaze fell on Xia Ningxi's hand, and after confirming that she was not injured, his deep eyes softened slightly.

Xia Ningxi said, "When did you come to my house? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

“I came over after you left with Tang En,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Are you here to pick up Huo Yuan?"

“I’m waiting for you,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi wondered, "You want to know about Xia Wanwan?"

Huo Nanxiao's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

Xia Ningxi said, "Tang En said he will send you the treatment plan after it is finalized."

"Are you very familiar with him?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.

Xia Ningxi said, "It's alright, we're not particularly close."

A chilling glint flashed in Huo Nanxiao's cold eyes; clearly, he was not satisfied with Xia Ningxi's words.

Xia Ningxi didn't intend to continue discussing Tang En, and went upstairs instead.

The three children are hiding in their room, none of them want to come out to see Huo Nanxiao, and none of them want to go home with Huo Nanxiao. Xia Ningxi can't force one of her two sons to go downstairs, so she lets Huo Nanxiao go back first.

“Ah Yuan said he wants to stay here tonight. He’s been in a bad mood these past few days, so let the child stay with me for now,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao asked with a serious expression, "Can you take good care of him?"

“I can,” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan is more dependent on you now than on me, his father."

Xia Ningxi said, "Children tend to like their mothers a little more."

"So, he knows, right?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "I have never mentioned my relationship with Huo Yuan."

Huo Nanxiao was skeptical of Xia Ningxi's words.

Xia Ningxi said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. But since Tang En has taken action, Xia Wanwan will definitely wake up. You can't just let Xia Wanwan have another son out of nowhere, can you? Even if you're willing, she might not be. No one can accept the son that the man they love has with someone else."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan isn't that kind of person."

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Yes, you're right. Xia Wanwan is the number one socialite in the capital, and her magnanimity is beyond the reach of someone as narrow-minded as me. Perhaps she really can accept Huo Yuan, but now that Xia Wanwan has woken up, Huo Yuan is no longer of any use to her. If you want a child, you can have one if you try. Why bother clinging to Huo Yuan?"

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "A Yuan is my son, so naturally he should stay by my side and grow up."

“But I am also Huo Yuan’s mother. Compared to you, I think he needs me more.” Xia Ningxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I can wholeheartedly raise A Yuan to adulthood, can you?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Why not?"

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "You have more than one child by your side. Xia Chuchu alone is enough to give you a headache. Where do you find the time and energy to take care of A Yuan?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Chu Chu is very obedient. She has not been a burden to me, nor will she affect A Yuan."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Why should I believe what you say? You've already had a daughter with another man, and you still dote on her like this. Why should I believe you'll treat A-Yuan well?"

Xia Ningxi was so angry at Huo Nanxiao's words that she laughed. She said, "Huo Nanxiao, are you alright? Huo Yuan is my biological son, and I would never mistreat him. But you, can you guarantee that you won't mistreat A Yuan in the future? If one day you and Xia Wanwan have your own child, will you still care about Huo Yuan as much as you do now? I suppose at that time, you'll only have your child in your eyes, right?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's impossible for Wanwan and I to have children."
