Chapter 439 Please Save My Daughter

Xia Ningxi was completely bewildered. Faced with everyone's questions, she was speechless. She was not familiar with Li Yancheng at all, and had only met him a few times. How did she suddenly become Li Yancheng's rumored girlfriend?

What made Xia Ningxi both laugh and cry was that other people actually believed it!

"You've misunderstood. I'm not familiar with Li Yancheng!" Xia Ningxi said firmly.

Head Nurse: "Now that the news has spread, the Li family can't be spreading rumors anymore, can they? I think Young Master Li really likes you."

Dr. Zhang: "Yes, the Li family is no ordinary family. I heard they are almost on par with the Huo family. The only downside is that the Li family's headquarters are overseas. If you become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, you will probably have to go back to work abroad. If our hospital director finds out, he will probably cry his eyes out."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The nurse next to her laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Dr. Xia really married into the Li family and became a wealthy wife, why would she still go to work? Have you ever seen a wealthy wife who still goes out to work? If it were me, I wouldn't go to work anymore. I would go out and eat and drink the good life."

"Dr. Xia, please stop focusing on the Huo family. Xia Wanwan and Young Master Huo are childhood sweethearts. They held their wedding banquet four years ago. Even if they didn't get a marriage certificate, they're practically husband and wife."

Moreover, I heard that Xia Wanwan became like this to save Young Master Huo. Logically and morally, the Huo family should be responsible for Xia Wanwan's future. Since Young Master Li's conditions are so good, you shouldn't compete with her.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Miss Wanwan is so pitiful. Back then, she was the most famous socialite in our capital city, how glamorous she was!"

"If she hadn't had that accident back then, she probably would have married into the Huo family long ago, and maybe she would already have children."

"Even if she were to wake up through medical technology, her physical condition would be far worse than before, and she would no longer be able to live like a normal person. It's really pitiful."

Everyone sighed and felt sorry for Xia Wanwan's background, thinking that her fate was too tragic and pitiful.

On the other hand, Xia Ningxi has many suitors. At a young age, she has already earned the title of expert, is favored by the dean, and is pursued by a wealthy young master. She could choose any one of them and not have a bad life.

But Xia Wan... I guess only by marrying into the Huo family can she avoid a miserable life in the second half of her life.

As Xia Ningxi listened to everyone's words, her heart sank to the bottom. She had no intention of competing with Xia Wanwan, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was the third party who had interfered in this relationship.

"I still have work to do, so I'll go now." Xia Ningxi greeted everyone, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

When Tang En heard that she was back, he immediately went to find Xia Ningxi.

"I heard you were in trouble." Tang En said very seriously, "Did the Ling family come looking for you?"

“No.” Xia Ningxi shook her head.

Tang En asked, "What's going on between you and Li Yancheng?"

"That kid must have lost his mind. He's afraid I'll expose his embarrassing moments, so he's deliberately spreading rumors," Xia Ningxi said.

Tang En: "You've been getting quite close to Li Yancheng lately. What's going on?"

“I accidentally offended this kid and he threw me to feed the fish. Luckily, the fish he raised are loyal to him and only bite him,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Don was stunned for half a second, then burst into laughter: "Really? Hahaha, this kid is really unlucky!"

"He's really unlucky." Xia Ningxi also felt sorry for him.

Don asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but I've recently developed a headache," Xia Ningxi said.

Don: "He probably didn't get enough rest."

"The doctor examined my brain and found something wrong."

Xia Ningxi explained her situation to Tang En in detail, and felt that she had forgotten some important things and wanted to recall them through medical means.

Don shook his head: "There's nothing we can do about this. We can only cure the person, but memories can't be restored. They can only be recalled by the brain itself."

"Even you can't do anything about it?" Xia Ningxi fell silent.

Don laughed and said, "What do you mean by that? You think you can? Why don't you cut open your own brain and see?"

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We have a rather troublesome patient today, transferred from the Imperial City General Hospital." Tang En suddenly stood up, his face serious.

Xia Ningxi frowned: "Transferred from the main hospital? A person in a vegetative state?"

"No, it was a little girl who was hit by a truck two weeks ago. Her right hand was crushed, and she suffered severe brain damage. It was very serious," Tang En said.

Xia Ningxi replied, "The Imperial City General Hospital is already the best hospital; it should be able to treat this kind of patient. Why did you transfer to our hospital? Has the patient already recovered enough to be discharged?"

“No.” Don shook his head.

Xia Ningxi asked, "What is that?"

“His wife asked us to perform a limb transplant on him,” Don said.

Xia Ningxi's pupils dilated: "Are you crazy?"

"These are the dean's exact words. Ask him when he gets here," Tang En replied.

In the morning, the person who arranged for Xia Ningxi to have a physical examination, besides the leaders of the Imperial City, also brought a friend, a middle-aged man with white hair.

You could tell from the man's face that he was at most in his early forties, but his hair was completely white, not a single black hair could be found. His haggard face was bloodless, and his swollen eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadn't rested in a long time.

The middle-aged man was very excited when he saw Xia Ningxi, "Dr. Xia."

Xia Ningxi glanced at the dean.

The hospital director said, "Dr. Xia, this is Mr. Qiu. We just transferred a patient to our hospital today. I don't know if Tang En has told you about him, but Mr. Qiu hopes you can be his son's attending physician."

"I haven't been feeling well lately, and I'm also injured. Perhaps I could transfer the patient to Dr. Zhang?" Xia Ningxi declined.

The dean hesitated.

The leader, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Dr. Xia, the reason we came to see you today is because of this patient, whom the main hospital cannot cure."

“If the doctors at the main hospital can’t cure me, then I’m even less likely to succeed,” Xia Ningxi said.

Upon hearing Xia Ningxi's meaning, Qiu Shiming immediately rushed forward and grabbed her clothes: "Dr. Xia, I beg you, I only have one daughter, she is only nine years old, she can't be ruined like this."

“I’ve seen her treatment records and physical reports. Her vital signs are relatively stable, which means the doctors at the main hospital are taking very good care of her. This is already a very good condition. I don’t know why you came to see me?” Xia Ningxi asked.

Qiu Shiming said, "I... I want you to perform a leg transplant on her, that is, to attach someone else's leg to her body so that she can walk upright in the future, and that would be great!"

“I can’t perform this kind of surgery,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Qiu Shiming said, "But I've seen cases of cured patients in your overseas research labs before."

“The laws abroad are different from those in China. Most experiments conducted abroad also use experimental subjects. Besides, I saw your daughter’s condition. She has already had her limb amputated, so there’s no way she can have a limb transplant. You shouldn’t think about these things anymore. She can be discharged from the hospital once her wounds have healed.” Xia Ningxi firmly refused him.

Suddenly, Qiu Shiming grabbed Xia Ningxi as if he had gone mad, and roared, "Why can't I do it! Why can others do it, but you can't! Can't you stand to see my daughter doing well? What good will it do you if she's crippled? Why are you unwilling to treat her!"

"Cough, let me go..."

Xia Ningxi was being pinched by the collar, and she was so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

But Qiu Shiming wouldn't listen to a word. He grabbed Xia Ningxi like a madman, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to skin her alive, demanding an explanation from her.

People around were so frightened that they rushed forward to stop Qiu Shiming, but Qiu Shiming seemed to be possessed and refused to let go no matter what. The more the others pulled, the tighter he gripped Xia Ningxi's hand.

Whoosh—

A tremendous force suddenly separated the two!

Huo Nanxiao appeared out of nowhere and pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms. Qiu Shiming, who was holding Xia Ningxi, was also thrown away by the force and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Huo Nanxiao?" Xia Ningxi looked at the man in front of her in surprise, her eyes shining brightly.

Tang En originally wanted to grab Xia Ningxi's hand, but Huo Nanxiao's appearance forced him to stop in mid-air, and he silently withdrew his hand in the end.

Huo Nanxiao coldly stared at everyone in the hospital, his murderous aura almost consuming them.

"What do you want to do?" These simple words carried a strong sense of murderous intent.

The hospital director immediately stepped in front of the crowd, explaining with a fawning smile, "Young Master Huo, you've misunderstood. We were just discussing the patient's condition; we didn't mean anything else."

"What kind of patient needs you to choke her while you talk?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

When Qiu Shiming saw that it was Huo Nanxiao, his expression returned to normal. He explained, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. I just wanted Dr. Xia to be my daughter's attending physician."

"Find someone else, she's busy." Huo Nanxiao refused without any politeness.

Qiu Shiming's expression immediately changed: "No one else can cure it."

"That's your problem to consider. She's still injured and won't be coming to the hospital anytime soon, nor will she be taking on any patients," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Qiu Shiming said, "Huo Nanxiao, the Qiu family has dealings with your Huo family. My father even helped Huo Xiuyuan back then. How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

"Really? I don't remember this happening." Huo Nanxiao stared at him expressionlessly.

Qiu Shiming said, "Your Huo family's merchant ship capsized and sank in the East China Sea two years ago. It was the Qiu family's rescue team that went to save people, which prevented a major disaster. Have you forgotten that? Is it so difficult for me to ask Dr. Xia to treat my daughter? Why won't you even give me a chance to live at the end!"

His voice grew increasingly hoarse, his bloodshot eyes blurred with tears, and he roared at Huo Nanxiao on the verge of collapse. But after he finished shouting, he knelt down, his trembling hands grabbing Xia Ningxi's pants...

"Please, I beg you, save my daughter."
