Chapter 4 Huo Nanxiao never believed her

Huo Nanxiao moved with the speed of the wind, and the chill emanating from him caused everyone in the hospital to keep their distance. Everyone knew that Dr. Xia was doomed!

She's just a new doctor in the capital, how dare she stand by and watch someone die! And the other person is the only son of the Huo family's heir. Even if the surgery is successful, she'll still face retribution later. Now, no one can save Dr. Xia!

Huo Nanxiao pushed open the door to the consultation room!

A quiet, unassuming nurse wearing black glasses sat inside on duty, looking puzzled: "Who are you looking for?"

Where did Dr. Xia go?

Huo Nanxiao's voice was terrifying.

The nurse said, "Dr. Xia went out for dinner and will be back later. What do you need her for?"

Huo Nanxiao did not answer, but strode in and picked up the business card on the consultation table and glanced at it.

The nurse immediately stood up and said seriously, "I'm sorry, sir, Dr. Xia is not here. If you need to see her, you can wait for her outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dean, who arrived shortly after, kicked him out.

When the dean heard the news that Huo Nanxiao had rushed towards Xia Ningxi, he broke one of his canes while running to catch up. Seeing that the surroundings were empty and there was no trace of Xia Ningxi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Huo, I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with Dr. Xia. She performed several surgeries today and is exhausted. It was my fault for not understanding the situation and forcing her to have surgery, which made her resentful. It's all my responsibility."

The dean hurriedly apologized, wanting to take all the blame upon himself.

Huo Nanxiao didn't look at him. He picked up the business card on the consultation table with his fair hand, clenched his fingers, and slowly crumpled the card into a ball. He said, "I need to see her within half an hour. You can decide what to do."

The dean's face turned pale. He was very reluctant, but he still dialed Xia Ningxi's number.

Xia Ningxi only replied with three words: "Tell him to get lost!"

Then, I hung up the phone immediately.

The dean was extremely embarrassed.

Huo Nanxiao's face turned ashen.

Xia Ningxi didn't bother with him and drove the car to the Mingding Courtyard.

This is Xia Ningxi's brother's residence, a two-story building in the suburbs.

At midnight, the two children were already asleep, but Xia Jingcheng was still awake, sitting in the courtyard keeping watch. When he saw Xia Ningxi's car, he happily ran over to open the door.

After returning to China, no matter how late it was, Xia Jingcheng would sit in the courtyard waiting for her to come home.

Xia Ningxi always believed that her brother was the person who loved her the most in the world.

Xia Ningxi looked at the person in front of her again and asked, "Brother, how many children did I have back then?"

Xia Jingcheng was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Are you so busy you've lost your mind? You had two children, how could you possibly have a third? You must be exhausted from work."

He reached out to help Xia Ningxi back into the house, but she shook him off.

Xia Ningxi said, "I saw a child at the hospital today who looks exactly like Xingxing. He is Huo Nanxiao's child."

Xia Jingcheng's face stiffened, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Really? What a coincidence. I heard that Young Master Huo remarried and had a child with your sister Wanwan. The child just turned three this year."

"Are you still going to lie to me?" Xia Ningxi was very disappointed.

Xia Jingcheng fell silent. He knew Xia Ningxi couldn't accept her child recognizing another woman as his mother, but that woman was Huo Nanxiao, the heir of the Huo family! No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

Keeping Huo Yuan's existence a secret from Xia Ningxi was a way to balance the relationship between the two families, which was a good thing for both. Huo Nanxiao got Huo Yuan, and Xia Ningxi kept her two remaining children; it was a win-win situation.

“Ning Xi, this is all what you owe Wanwan. Consider it compensation to her. Please stop asking, okay? That child is now the young master of the Huo family, a golden branch and jade leaf, loved by countless people. He is very happy.”

Xia Ningxi laughed angrily: "I owe Wanwan something? Why should the child I carried for ten months have to recognize her as its mother? Why don't you even believe me! Why do you even lie to me!"

"Do you know that Huo Yuan was lying in front of me today covered in blood, with three broken ribs, and his hands and back were covered in wounds? I performed the surgery on him myself. And you're telling me he's doing well? He's happy?"

Xia Jingcheng was shocked: "A Yuan is injured? What happened? He was living in the Xia family just fine, how could he be injured like this?"

"You don't know? Fine, I'll go to the Xia family myself and find out!"

Xia Ningxi turned and left.

Xia Jingcheng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped Xia Ningxi: "You can't go to the Xia family."

"Why?"

Xia Jingcheng said, "If Young Master Huo knew you were still alive, he would definitely not let you go."

Xia Ningxi's eyes were bloodshot: "He harmed my son like this, I will never let him go!"

Xia Jingcheng knew she was serious this time and stopped her from leaving: "Ning Xi, do you really think you can fight Huo Nanxiao? The entire capital city belongs to him, what do you have to fight him with? Do you want Xingxing and Chuchu to become someone else's children?"

"Do you expect me to just stand by and watch Huo Yuan live under the thumb of that despicable couple and be bullied by them?" Xia Ningxi was furious.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Ning Xi, what's the use of you going to find Huo Nanxiao now? What makes you think you can compare to Wanwan? What makes you think you can be better than her? Huo Shao only knows that there is only one Huo Yuan in this world. If he finds out that Xingxing and Chuchu are his children, do you think he will let the children go, just because Xingxing and Huo Yuan have the same face?"

Every word was like a sharp blade stabbing into her heart.

Xia Ningxi gave a bitter smile. Huo Nanxiao had never believed her, never!

From beginning to end, it was nothing more than exploitation.

Xia Ningxi's eyes were a little moist. She didn't say a word. After returning home, she ate dinner, took a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out.

"Where are you going so late?" Xia Jingcheng chased after him.

She said, "Huo Yuan is still in critical condition, and I need to go to the hospital to stay with him."

"It's not safe for you to go out alone so late." Xia Jingcheng was worried that her health couldn't handle it.

"I don't feel comfortable leaving Huo Yuan under the noses of those bastards."

Xia Ningxi drove back to the hospital, her mind filled with the image of Huo Yuan covered in blood. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. She sped up and rushed to the intensive care unit, where Huo Yuan was still unconscious, a pitiful little bundle.

His face looked even bigger than a star. At first, Xia Ningxi thought he had gained weight because he was eating well, but upon closer inspection, she discovered a handprint on his face.

She cried with heartache, holding Huo Yuan's hand tightly, and whispered, "Yuan, Mommy is back. Mommy will never let bad people bully you again. No one can bully you anymore!"

She wiped away her tears and walked out of the intensive care unit.

As the night passed, Xia Ningxi could no longer hold on. She leaned against the wall and walked unsteadily toward her clinic.

The door was closed. There were very few people in the hospital at this time, and Xia Ningxi didn't expect anyone to be in her examination room. The moment she turned on the light, she saw a familiar face, a face so familiar that it terrified her!

Huo Nanxiao had been waiting for a long time: "Xia Ningxi, it's been a long time."
