Chapter 788 Let's see how long she can keep up this act.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes were red.

Xia Ningxi had never seen him worry about anyone so much, nor had she ever seen him so anxious and frantic.

Seeing the woman on the ground, soaking wet and barely breathing, Xia Ningxi froze in place.

She was scared. Xia Wanwan's condition was very serious. She wasn't sure if Xia Wanwan could be saved. If she failed to save Xia Wanwan, would Huo Nanxiao think she did it on purpose?

He was so convinced back then that Xia Ningxi deliberately harmed Xia Wanwan. If something were to happen to Xia Wanwan this time, would he also firmly believe that she didn't want to save her?

"Wait for the ambulance." Xia Ningxi didn't want to get involved anymore; she was tired.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes were bloodshot: "Aren't you a doctor?"

“I am a doctor, that’s true, I can save anyone, but she, I dare not save her, unless you guarantee that whatever happens next will have nothing to do with me and that you won’t cause me any trouble,” Xia Ningxi said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fenglin rushed forward and grabbed Xia Ningxi's collar, shouting, "You're clearly trying to harm her! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!"

Xia Ningxi's eyes grew colder and colder. She said to Huo Nanxiao, "See? I haven't even been involved and I'm already burdened with such a huge problem. I'm afraid that if I save her, I'll risk my own life. I have three children to raise. I can't be so selfless."

"You!" Zhou Fenglin's face darkened as he choked on his words.

Huo Nanxiao glared at Zhou Fenglin: "Let her go."

Zhou Fenglin's hands were trembling. She glared angrily at Xia Ningxi, her eyes filled with hatred that wished she could tear her to pieces. She slowly loosened her grip.

Huo Nanxiao assured him, "As long as you save her, everything else is none of your business."

"Okay," Xia Ningxi agreed.

He went over to treat Xia Wanwan's wounds and made all the necessary preparations for emergency treatment to buy time for the ambulance to arrive.

In the end, Xia Wanwan was successfully rescued and luckily survived.

However, due to excessive blood loss, his bodily functions were severely damaged, leaving him as weak as a paper doll.

But the first thing Xia Wanwan did after waking up was not to thank the person who saved her, but to question Huo Nanxiao: "Why did you save me?"

"Do you know what you're doing?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

Xia Wanwan's eyes were red and swollen: "I know, I know everything, I just don't want to live anymore. I'm having a hard time living alone, is that not allowed?"

"No." Huo Nanxiao's gaze was very cold.

Xia Wanwan said, "Nan Xiao, why are you forcing me like everyone else? You know I'm not happy right now. I don't want to live like this, I'd rather die than live like this."

She threw herself into Huo Nanxiao's arms and burst into tears, only to find that there were other people in the ward besides Huo Nanxiao.

When Xia Wanwan saw Huo Xiuyuan and Xia Ningxi, her crying suddenly stopped. She quickly wiped away her tears, pushed Huo Nanxiao away, and pretended to be strong as she said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Mr. Huo, I promise you that I will leave Nanxiao and will no longer let the Huo family be affected in any way."

"Are you telling everyone that I forced you to commit suicide?" Huo Xiuyuan retorted.

He wasn't stupid; he understood the implication in Xia Wanwan's words.

Xia Wanwan denied it: "It's all my own fault. I was cowardly and I deceived all of you. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Then who are you doing this for?" Huo Xiuyuan retorted.

Xia Wanwan's eyes were red: "I have left Nan Xiao's home and severed all ties with him!"

"You can put on these tricks for others, they won't work on me. Only a blind bastard like Huo Nanxiao would be interested in you. I can't stop you from trying to achieve your goals through these means, but as I've said before, you're not qualified to enter the Huo family."

Huo Xiuyuan's attitude was very tough.

Xia Wanwan's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Zhou Fenglin said angrily, "Wanwan and Huo Shao are deeply in love. You forced her to die just because you didn't like her. Do you have any conscience?"

"If Madam Zhou had even a shred of conscience, she wouldn't have chosen to invite Huo Nanxiao to watch the show after learning of her daughter's suicide," Huo Xiuyuan sneered.

In his view, this was a play deliberately staged by Xia Wanwan and her family, specifically for Huo Nanxiao's benefit.

He had Xia Wanwan pretend to be pitiful and weak, so that Huo Nanxiao would feel sorry for her and be unable to let her go, thus taking responsibility for her.

There are clues to all of this! Only someone with a brain full of water would believe this shoddy performance.

But Huo Nanxiao believed it anyway.

He said to Huo Xiuyuan, "That's enough. This has nothing to do with you. You can leave now."

"You believe them?" Huo Xiuyuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

Huo Nanxiao: "This is my own business."

"Are you trying to drive me crazy before you're satisfied?!" Huo Xiuyuan's voice rose several times as he angrily questioned.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want to argue with Huo Xiuyuan, so he looked at Xia Ningxi and said, "Please take him back."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi agreed, supporting Huo Xiuyuan's swaying body, and said in a low voice, "Dad, you're not feeling well, don't get angry. Let him handle it himself. Let's go back first."

"Can't you tell what this family is doing?" Huo Xiuyuan asked Xia Ningxi. He could tell that Xia Wanwan was threatening suicide to force Huo Nanxiao to submit!

If he, as the father, were to leave now, Xia Wanwan would cling to Huo Nanxiao like a leech, and the Huo family would be forced to accept such a despicable woman.

But how could Xia Ningxi not see all of this?

She knew what Xia Wanwan wanted, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao would definitely agree to Xia Wanwan's request.

"Dad, if you say too much, people won't appreciate it. Instead, they'll think you're the bad guy who hurt them," Xia Ningxi gently advised.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her with heartache: "Are you really going to spoil him?"

“They are truly in love. If you try to break them up, you'll be hated,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "If she wants to die, let her die. If she really had that determination, she wouldn't have put on this show for everyone."

Hearing this, Xia Wanwan's face hardened with stubbornness. She pulled out the IV needle from her hand and said angrily, "Mr. Huo, I'm not acting, and I'm not pretending to be pitiful so you can pity me. You want me to die? Fine, I'll go right now!"

She didn't know where she got the strength, but she rushed towards the window. However, because she moved too fast, she lost her strength and fell headfirst to the ground. She fell hard, her whole body squeaking, her face contorted in pain, and her wounds instantly bled profusely.

Huo Nanxiao angrily said to Xia Ningxi, "Take Dad away!"

Huo Xiuyuan sneered: "Why should I leave? Isn't she going to pretend? Let her pretend, I want to see how long she can keep up the act."
