Chapter 680 Should I Trust Her?

Huo Nanxiao was clearly blaming Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan never expected Huo Nanxiao to get angry over something like this. She said, "Ningxi and I are sisters. Even putting everything else aside, can't we even meet? Nanxiao, are you just too concerned about Xia Ningxi or do you have a problem with me?"

“I have no problem with you,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan said, "So you care too much about Xia Ningxi? When she meets me, you're afraid I'll hurt her, afraid I'll make her angry and sad? But don't you think about it carefully? We grew up together, and we share the same surname, Xia. How could we possibly never meet in this lifetime?"

She felt wronged and very sad.

Huo Nanxiao scolded her without even asking what happened, which really made her feel like she had misjudged him.

Huo Nanxiao was not moved in the slightest by Xia Wanwan's sadness. He was very indifferent: "You know my relationship with Xia Ningxi, and you should also know what our marriage means to Xia Ningxi. She will not take the initiative to cause trouble for you, and you should also draw a clear line and keep your distance from her."

"But it's not my fault. If I hadn't experienced that accident back then, I wouldn't be like this today." Xia Wanwan was very angry. She believed that she hadn't done anything wrong. On the contrary, Huo Nanxiao's distrust of her made her very unhappy.

Huo Nanxiao looked at her and asked, "What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you need to find Xia Ningxi to calm down? She can't give you what you want, but I said I would make it up to you, and I will definitely do it."

"Is that how you see me?" Xia Wanwan asked incredulously. "Huo Nanxiao, do you think I came to see Xia Ningxi today to get something from her? I'm a patient, I can't do anything right now, what could I possibly get from Xia Ningxi?"

Huo Nanxiao replied, "Since you can't get anything from her, you should know to cut off all contact with her."

Xia Wanwan, seething with anger, pushed her wheelchair away.

The waiter noticed that she had difficulty moving around and quickly came forward to help her.

"No need, I can manage on my own." Xia Wanwan declined her offer.

Seeing that Xia Wanwan was angry, Huo Nanxiao called the driver, who arrived shortly afterward.

The driver said to Xia Wanwan, "Miss Wanwan, I'll take you home."

"I can manage on my own." Xia Wanwan was still a little angry with Huo Nanxiao, so she didn't want to have any interaction with Huo Nanxiao or the people around him.

The driver couldn't just abandon Xia Wanwan because of a few words from her. He escorted her all the way to Qinyuan and watched her safely enter her home before he dared to leave. After all, Xia Wanwan was Huo Nanxiao's savior. Xia Ningxi had already lost everything after getting a divorce if she offended her. If a small driver offended Xia Wanwan, it was uncertain whether he would be able to find a job for the rest of his life.

The driver sent Huo Nanxiao a text message: Young Master Huo, the person has been safely delivered home.

Huo Nanxiao was relieved after receiving the news. He went to Ninghai Hospital, wanting to have a good talk with Xia Ningxi, but Xia Ningxi was not in her office. Hearing that she had gone on rounds, Huo Nanxiao patiently sat in her office and waited.

After waiting for an hour without seeing Xia Ningxi return, he became restless, walked out of the clinic, and grabbed a passing intern.

"Where did Dr. Xia go?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

The intern said, "They should be attending a specialist consultation in the VIP ward by now."

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "What happened?"

The intern said, "A patient came to Lingcheng with a row of dense tumors in his brain. The expert team held a consultation, and Dr. Xia was among them. I've also met that patient, Huo Shao. He's the young man who tried to jump off a building a couple of days ago. I think his name is Lin Jiangbei."

"I understand, thank you," Huo Nanxiao said.

After the intern left, Huo Nanxiao went directly to the VIP ward.

The door was open, but there were many people inside. Apart from Xia Ningxi, all the prestigious senior experts in the hospital had come. They seemed to be having a conflict, and Huo Nanxiao stopped in his tracks.

Before Lin Jiangbei came to the capital, the Ling family had already spent a lot of money to hire a team of experts from abroad to treat him. However, the surgery was too risky and had a high mortality rate, so the expert team could only adopt conservative treatment. But after more than a year of treatment, there was no effect, and Lin Jiangbei's condition was getting worse and worse.

This time, Tang En decided to take a risky treatment plan and perform surgery on Lin Jiangbei, but was met with strong opposition from the Ling family's expert team.

The expert team said, "As you have seen about Mr. Lin's condition, the probability of success if we rashly carry out the surgery is only ten percent, or even less than ten percent."

Don said, "Without surgery, the tumor in his brain will continue to grow, becoming more and more numerous and larger. His condition is already very dangerous. He can only survive for a month at most. If he continues with conservative treatment, he will eventually die."

The expert team said, "His condition is rare. There has never been a successful case like this in China. You also cannot completely remove his tumor in one go. Once surgery is performed, Mr. Lin will definitely die."

"Our team has collaborated with the Jiang family, and they have developed a highly effective drug for treating cancer, which can play a supporting role," Tang En said.

The expert team said, "We have already used the special drugs, but Young Master Lin has a malignant tumor that will keep growing. We have already performed a craniotomy on him, but a new tumor grew out in less than three months. The special drugs have become less effective after being used too many times."

Don: "Then let's try the medicine we developed."

The expert team said, "His condition is not suitable for surgery, and besides, your team is very young..."

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already quite clear.

In Tang En's team, the surgeons who performed the surgeries were all very young, and Tang En himself was not very old either. As for the Ling family's expert team, they were all doctors with decades of surgical experience. Strictly speaking, their experience was more extensive than that of Tang En's team.

Another point that the expert panel also had reservations about was...

Their gazes fell on Xia Ningxi, and they said, "Dr. Xia, you haven't been on the operating table for many years, have you? If you were to perform this surgery, we probably wouldn't dare to trust you."

Before Xia Ningxi could even speak, Tang En got angry: "Are you questioning her abilities?"

The expert said, "She is young and may lack experience."

Tang En smiled and didn't argue with the experts too much. Instead, he asked Lin Jiangbei, "Think it over carefully. Do you want us to perform the surgery? Once I take on this surgery, Xia Ningxi will definitely be the lead surgeon because she is better than me in this area."

Lin Jiangbei looked at Xia Ningxi: "Can she handle it?"

Tang En said, "You've come all the way from Lingcheng, isn't it because of our team's reputation? Xia Ningxi used to be our team's lead surgeon, so her abilities are naturally top-notch."

Lin Jiangbei was very conflicted.

Ling Shuang spoke up: "Dr. Xia, I want to know the probability of the surgery being successful."

“Five percent,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

Ling Shuang was completely taken aback: "Five percent? Does that mean he could die at any moment?"

“That’s true, we have no choice but to try anything,” Xia Ningxi said.

Ling Shuang: "I need to think about it."

“Okay. Think it through, and be prepared. His condition is getting worse and worse than when he first came. We can’t delay any longer,” Xia Ningxi kindly reminded him.

When Lin Jiangbei was first hospitalized, the tumor in his brain wasn't this big, but it has grown much larger in just a few days, and his life is in danger at any time.

Lin Jiangbei was also very conflicted. He was wondering whether he should believe the woman who had almost beaten him up.
