Chapter 359 Infertility

Xia Wanwan hadn't expected Huo Yuan to be so resistant to her. She was puzzled and looked at Huo Nanxiao with a questioning gaze.

Xia Wanwan only found out today that Huo Yuan's household registration was under her name. She had always trusted Huo Nanxiao, so she thought that Huo Nanxiao must have his reasons for doing so. However, Huo Yuan's attitude puzzled Xia Wanwan. Could it be that the child was kidnapped by Huo Nanxiao?

Because Huo Yuan was too young, Xia Wanwan didn't want to ask too many questions in front of the child. She gave a few vague answers to gloss over the matter and then made an excuse that she was tired.

Xia Ningxi led Huo Yuan away from the ward.

Huo Nanxiao originally wanted to leave with Xia Ningxi.

Xia Wanwan called out to him, "Nan Xiao, can you stay and keep me company?"

Huo Nanxiao stopped in his tracks. He noticed that Huo Yuan and Xia Ningxi both paused for a moment. He whispered to Xia Ningxi, "Take A Yuan out first."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi replied crisply, took Huo Yuan's hand, and walked quickly.

Xia Wanwan watched Xia Ningxi and Huo Yuan's departing figures until the ward door closed before asking, "Nan Xiao, why are you only telling me this now?"

Xia Wanwan has been awake for so many days now, Huo Nanxiao could have told her this much earlier, instead of only telling her now.

"Your health is not good, so I'd like to wait until you recover before discussing this matter."

This is Huo Nanxiao's reply to Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan said, "You should have told me sooner. I only found out about this today and I wasn't prepared at all. Besides, I don't think Huo Yuan likes me very much. If I had known earlier that you were going to bring him to see me, I could have made more preparations, and maybe Huo Yuan wouldn't be so afraid of me."

After a pause, Xia Wanwan continued, "Why would you transfer the child to my name for no reason? If I wanted a child, I could have given birth to it myself. Besides, the child's mother is still alive, isn't she? She doesn't like me at all."

Xia Wanwan wasn't stupid; she could tell that Huo Yuan wasn't doing this willingly. So Xia Wanwan was very curious about why Huo Nanxiao did this, or if he had some unspeakable reason.

Xia Wanwan was very clever. She asked, "Could it be that there's something wrong with my body?"

"We'll know once the doctor's test results come out," Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice.

Don quickly brought over the medical report.

Xia Wanwan still valued her health very much and immediately asked Tang En, "Doctor, how am I feeling?"

Don said, "The recovery is going very well. As long as you continue with the rehabilitation and recuperation, you will recover soon."

Xia Wanwan was overjoyed: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Don added, "However, there is still one problem."

Xia Wanwan frowned: "What's the problem?"

Tang En looked at Huo Nanxiao, seemingly hesitating for a long time.

Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "Speak."

Tang En nodded and said to Xia Wanwan very seriously, "Miss Wanwan, your uterus has deteriorated quite a few years ago, so you are very likely to face the possibility of having your uterus removed."

Although Xia Wanwan woke up and her body was slowly recovering, other bodily functions were not so fortunate.

When Xia Wanwan heard Tang En's words, her beautiful face instantly changed color. Her face turned pale, and she spoke with great difficulty, "Really? Really?"

Don told her in a very firm tone, "We have done several evaluations and we can confirm that you have lost your fertility."

"How...how is this possible? Is there a mistake in the check?" Xia Wanwan couldn't believe it.

Don said, "If you cooperate with the treatment, it might be possible to activate the ovaries, but your current physical condition is not suitable for this kind of treatment. You should take care of your health first."

Xia Wanwan remained silent, sitting motionless on the hospital bed.

As usual, Tang En finished reporting on his work. As for how to handle the matter next, it was up to Huo Nanxiao to decide.

The door to the ward was closed again.

Every word Tang En said was a huge blow to Xia Wanwan. She kept her head down and didn't say a word, and she was sad for a very long time.

Xia Wanwan suddenly understood why Huo Nanxiao had come to find her.

She had been wondering why Huo Nanxiao would adopt a stranger's child into her name, but it turned out that her uterus had developed problems several years ago.

Huo Nanxiao must have known all along that she couldn't have children, right?

"Why is this happening?" Xia Wanwan's voice was a little hoarse.

Huo Nanxiao said, "The doctor said there is still a possibility of treatment."

"But Tang En said the chances of a cure are slim. Nan Xiao, does this mean I'll never be able to have my own children again?" Xia Wanwan looked into Huo Nan Xiao's eyes with her reddened gaze. Her beautiful voice was somewhat hoarse.

Huo Nanxiao said, "As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you will still have a chance."

"Don't lie to me anymore, okay?" Xia Wanwan wasn't stupid. If it wasn't extremely serious, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't have let her know about it at all.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll listen to the doctor."

Xia Wanwan understood. She remained silent for a long time, feeling very sad, but she didn't say anything, keeping her head very low.

Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Wanwan was very upset, so he wanted to leave and let her calm down by herself.

"Nan Xiao." Xia Wanwan suddenly called out Huo Nan Xiao's name.

Huo Nanxiao, who was about to get up and leave, turned his gaze to Xia Wanwan and asked, "What is it?"

"Do other people know about me like this?" Xia Wanwan asked very seriously.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You are receiving confidential treatment at Ninghai Hospital. Currently, apart from the doctors and us, no one else knows about it."

Xia Wanwan bit her lip, seemingly making up her mind: "Could you please not tell anyone else?"

"If you don't want others to know, I can keep this a secret for you," Huo Nanxiao agreed.

Xia Wanwan whispered, "Thank you."

Huo Nanxiao remained silent. In fact, he was the one who had wronged Xia Wanwan. If Xia Wanwan hadn't risked her life to save him back then, Huo Nanxiao would probably be dead by now.

Huo Nanxiao also bears some responsibility for how she turned out this way.

Thinking of this, Huo Nanxiao felt even more guilty.

"Don't worry, I'll get you the best doctors, and they'll definitely cure you," Huo Nanxiao assured her.

Xia Wanwan forced a smile and said gently, "It's okay, I believe you."

"Get some rest." Huo Nanxiao tucked her in.

Xia Wanwan held Huo Nanxiao's hand.

Huo Nanxiao frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

“That child…” Xia Wanwan couldn’t help but mention Huo Yuan.

Huo Nanxiao pulled his hand away from her grasp and said, "If you don't like it, I will transfer A Yuan's household registration out of your name."

Xia Wanwan said, "I'm fine. Having a child is good. Didn't the doctor say that I might not be able to have any more children? I want to know if Huo Yuan's parents are still alive? Would they agree to let me adopt the child? Nan Xiao, that child seems to dislike me."
