Chapter 566 I Just Want the Answer

It was already dark outside, and a light rain had started to fall.

Xia Ningxi stood in front of the hospital gate, her path blocked by the sudden drizzle. She was very hungry and wanted to find a comfortable place to eat something before going home. When she saw Huo Nanxiao following her, she instantly lost her appetite.

"What are you doing here?" she asked irritably.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll take you back."

"No need. You'd be better off using that time to investigate what happened today." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very cold.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I know it has nothing to do with you."

"But the way you looked at me just now shows that you doubt me."

She was a very sensitive person and could clearly sense the suspicion in Huo Nanxiao's eyes when she came out of the operating room.

Without evidence, Xia Ningxi was certain that Huo Nanxiao would believe, just as he had back then, that she was the one who had poisoned him.

“We have nothing more to say. You should go back. Xia Wanwan needs someone to take care of her. If you're not here, and something else happens to her, it will be all over.”

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly at Huo Nanxiao, speaking in the calmest tone with the coldest words.

Huo Nanxiao felt a pang of sadness. He pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms and held her tightly.

Xia Ningxi did not struggle, quietly feeling the frequency of his heartbeat, her heart as cold as ice.

The hospital was very large and crowded.

It was rush hour, and there were many people coming and going. Many of them looked over in this direction with burning eyes, and some couldn't help but mutter something to themselves.

They all recognized Huo Nanxiao, the crown prince, but were very puzzled by Xia Ningxi.

"Isn't that Young Master Huo's fiancée?"

Why would Young Master Huo be seen arguing and pulling at another woman in public?

What are those two doing?

More and more people gathered to watch.

Xia Ningxi struggled free, saw a taxi approaching, pushed Huo Nanxiao aside, waved at the taxi, got in, and left without looking back.

When Helian Jue and An Yao came out of the hospital, they saw Huo Nanxiao standing alone at the gate. They looked around in confusion but did not see Xia Ningxi.

Helian Jue asked, "Where is she?"

"They're gone."

Huo Nanxiao's voice was extremely cold.

Helian Jue: "Then why aren't you going back? Don't forget who your fiancée is."

"I don't need you to remind me," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Helian Jue clicked his tongue twice: "Judging from your appearance, you don't intend to care about Xia Wanwan's life or death. If you don't like her, you can just say so. Xia Ningxi must have a problem with you now. If she has any backbone, she will definitely not pay attention to you anymore."

Have you had enough of the show?

Huo Nanxiao was extremely impatient.

Helian Jue smiled and then remained silent.

He wasn't actually interested in other people's affairs; he only mentioned them out of kindness because he had known Huo Nanxiao for many years. Since Huo Nanxiao didn't like to hear it, he decided not to say anything at all.

"An Yao, let's go," Helian Jue said to the girl beside him.

An Yao bit her lip, glanced thoughtfully at Helian Jue's departing figure, and whispered to Huo Nanxiao after he had walked a few meters away, "Young Master Huo, Dr. Xia is a very good person. No matter what outsiders say, she would never harm Miss Wanwan."

"I know," Huo Nanxiao said, already aware of the situation.

An Yao said, "But Young Master Huo didn't believe her from the beginning. She's your wife, you should believe her more than anyone else."

Huo Nanxiao felt a lump in his throat.

An Yao smiled politely and turned to leave.

Huo Nanxiao returned to the hospital.

After checking the surveillance footage, I realized that the surveillance cameras in the ward had been turned off a long time ago, and it just so happened that they were turned off today.

Only after asking the people in the monitoring room did they learn that it was Xia Ningxi who requested the monitoring to be turned off, and it was within an hour of Xia Ningxi requesting the monitoring to be turned off that Xia Wanwan had her accident.

She and Xia Luoluo entered Xia Wanwan's ward one after the other, and both of them are suspects. However, if we trace the incident back to the surveillance footage, Xia Ningxi is the most suspicious because she was the one who kicked everyone out of Xia Wanwan's ward first, and it was Xia Ningxi who requested that the surveillance be turned off. As for Xia Luoluo, she only came later, and whether Xia Wanwan had been in trouble before she arrived remains to be verified.

Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy after seeing the evidence. Recalling the look in Xia Ningxi's eyes when she left, his heart felt even heavier.

"President, shall we continue the investigation?" Ye Su also realized that the situation was unfavorable for Xia Ningxi and couldn't help but ask.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Let's talk about it when Wanwan wakes up."

"What should we do about the young mistress?" Ye Su asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't worry about it. Go find a suitable doctor to take over Xia Wanwan's care."

"Okay." Ye Su nodded.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at the girl who was on the verge of death on the hospital bed, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He waited outside the ward all night.

Fortunately, Xia Wanwan recovered. She woke up groggily at ten o'clock the next morning and was quite surprised to see Huo Nanxiao by her side.

"Nan Xiao," she called softly.

Huo Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Hungry?"

Xia Wanwan struggled to sit up, but couldn't muster any strength.

"Let me help you up." Huo Nanxiao stood up and helped her up.

Xia Wanwan coughed a few times and said weakly, "Thank you."

"Are you hungry? I've prepared some porridge," Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Wanwan nodded: "Yes, I'm very hungry and want to eat something."

Huo Nanxiao sat down next to Xia Wanwan and gently opened the food box that had just been delivered. It was still warm inside, filled with fresh ingredients that had just come out of the oven. In addition to the porridge, there were dozens of side dishes. He wondered what Xia Wanwan liked to eat.

Her body had not yet recovered, so Huo Nanxiao basically fed her.

Xia Wanwan rarely saw Huo Nanxiao so gentle, and said softly, "What brings you to see me today?"

“It was here last night,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan was slightly taken aback, then somewhat pleased: "You stayed by my side all night?"

"Now that you're awake, there's something I want to ask you," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Xia Wanwan asked, "What is it?"

"You almost lost your life yesterday, do you know that?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Xia Wanwan was startled, the smile vanished from her face, and she lowered her eyes, saying tremblingly, "Really? I...I..."

The man's deep gaze was fixed on her, his cold, scrutinizing eyes filled with a sense of inquiry.

Xia Wanwan felt a chill in her heart when she recalled what happened yesterday.

She knew that Huo Nanxiao wanted to find out who had attacked her, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao wanted to protect her. But given Huo Nanxiao's personality, once he found out that the person who attacked her was Xia Luoluo, this younger sister would surely die.

She was torn, unsure whether she should expose Xia Luoluo.

Huo Nanxiao: "To be honest, all I want is an answer."
