Chapter 842 It doesn't matter, he's just an ex-husband.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Xia Wanwan had no way to defend herself. She knew that Xia Luoluo would never admit that she did it and would only shift all the blame onto her.

Based on the timeline, when Xia Luoluo was on the phone with the perpetrator, Xia Wanwan was arguing with Xia Ningxi in a coffee shop and had no time to contact someone to murder Xia Ningxi.

Xia Wanwan took a deep breath: "You won't believe anything I say now, so I'm too lazy to argue. We'll talk about everything after Xia Ningxi wakes up."

Xia Wanwan's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao, and she asked, "Could you help me check the coffee shop's surveillance footage? Perhaps it can prove my innocence."

“There were no security cameras.” Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, looking at her intently. “The security cameras were turned off before you entered the coffee shop.”

There is no evidence to prove that Xia Wanwan is innocent, but all the information available now confirms that she is involved in this matter.

Xia Luoluo's two-birds-with-one-stone tactic was truly brilliant; she not only harmed Xia Ningxi but also damaged the relationship between Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao.

Because Xia Ningxi was still unconscious, Xia Wanwan naturally couldn't leave, and she was kept as a suspect in a hospital room.

After entering the ward, Xia Wanwan did not hesitate at all and slapped Xia Luoluo hard across the face.

Xia Luoluo was dizzy from the beating, half of her face was swollen, and she covered her cheek angrily: "Why did you hit me?"

"You hired the assassin!" Xia Wanwan was absolutely certain.

Xia Luoluo chuckled: "It's because you've always disliked Xia Ningxi and wanted her to disappear from this world completely."

"You still won't admit it now?" Xia Wanwan was furious.

Xia Luoluo looked completely innocent: "I don't know what you're talking about. You are the ultimate beneficiary of Xia Ningxi's accident. Your current physical condition makes it impossible for you to have children for the Huo family. You can only have designs on those children. Only when Xia Ningxi dies can you rightfully take over the custody of those children. So you are the murderer."

“If you’re worried that the Ling family will blame you, I’ll take full responsibility for you. However, the Ling family isn’t so easily fooled. They won’t indulge you as recklessly as Young Master Huo.”

At the end, Xia Luoluo changed the subject: "If you are willing to tell the truth, Young Master Huo will definitely protect you out of consideration for your years of friendship. He loves you so much, he certainly wouldn't want you to get hurt."

Xia Luoluo shifted all the blame onto Xia Wanwan.

In fact, they all knew that Huo Nanxiao was no longer the person who would listen to Xia Wanwan's every word and be devoted to her.

Everyone in the world knows how good Huo Nanxiao was to Xia Wanwan.

Even if Huo Nanxiao were to marry Xia Wanwan, he wouldn't even look at her properly; his heart and soul would be filled with his children and Xia Ningxi.

Xia Wanwan knew that what she could rely on was disappearing little by little, until Huo Nanxiao completely lost patience with her, and she would become a discarded pawn.

She was in poor health and had accomplished nothing. Without Huo Nanxiao's protection, what difference was there between her and a useless person? She would only be able to eke out a living under the contemptuous gazes of others for the rest of her life.

Xia Wanwan grabbed Xia Luoluo's neck in a frenzy, shouting angrily, "I'm your sister! What good will it do you to ruin me! Why are you doing this! Why!"

"Cough, cough, let me go." Xia Luolu coughed with difficulty and struggled.

The more Xia Luoluo struggled, the angrier Xia Wanwan became. She showed no mercy and forcefully pinched Xia Luoluo's neck until it left bloody finger marks.

Xia Luoluo could barely breathe. She tried to push Xia Wanwan away, but ended up knocking her to the ground.

After the shackles around her neck were removed, Xia Luoluo gasped for breath, glaring at Xia Wanwan: "Are you crazy?"

Xia Wanwan staggered to her feet, struggling to regain her footing. A surge of anger rose in her chest, leaving her with no affection or attachment to her younger sister.

"I'm the one who's crazy to believe you! I thought you could change for the better, but now it seems I was blind all along. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have protected you in the first place!"

Xia Wanwan was very disappointed.

She saved Xia Luoluo from Huo Nanxiao's clutches several times back then, and no matter how outrageous Xia Luoluo's actions were, Xia Wanwan always believed that she would change.

Not only has Xia Luoluo not changed at all, but she has also become even more ruthless, trying to push her into the abyss.

They are all siblings from the same mother, how could Xia Luoluo be so vicious!

"Get out! I don't want to see you again!" Xia Wanwan said angrily, pointing to the door.

"Then you should enjoy your retirement here, sister."

Xia Luoluo left with a sarcastic remark.

Xia Wanwan was locked in the room and cried for a long time before she calmed down.

She knew Huo Nanxiao was in the hospital, but she waited for a very long time and he didn't come to see her. She thought that Huo Nanxiao must be waiting for Xia Ningxi outside the operating room.

Even after their divorce, Huo Nanxiao still couldn't let her go.

Soon the door to the emergency room was opened from the inside, and Xia Ningxi was wheeled out by the doctor and taken to the intensive care unit.

Huo Nanxiao strode forward and grabbed the doctor's hand: "How is she?"

"Internal organ contusion, but fortunately the person is not in mortal danger," the doctor replied.

Xia Ningxi was really lucky this time. When she jumped out of the car, she landed right in the bushes. Although she had many abrasions, none of them were fatal.

The person is still unconscious, and it's unknown when they will wake up.

Huo Nanxiao stayed in the ward the whole time.

Ling Shuang felt that he was being too familiar with her. Even though they were divorced, he was still doing things that a husband should do, which was not very kind of him.

"Brother, do you think we should let some people leave? It's not good for them to keep guarding the ward," Ling Shuang kindly reminded Ling Xiao.

Putting aside the past relationship between Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao, Ling Xiao is Xia Ningxi's husband in name only now.

Although her second husband is somewhat shady, the two are still a legally married couple who registered their marriage abroad. It would be a loss of face for the Ling family to have another man with Xia Ningxi.

Ling Xiao, however, did not move.

Ling Shuang couldn't stand it anymore. "President Huo, you should go now. We will take good care of Xia Ningxi, so you don't need to worry about it."

Huo Nanxiao remained motionless, pretending not to hear.

Ling Shuang couldn't help but add, "She has nothing to do with you anymore. Your presence here will only make both of you uncomfortable. You might as well go and ask your good wife why she would do such a thing."

Huo Nanxiao remained motionless.

Ling Shuang was getting a little impatient.

Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed Ling Shuang: "That's enough."

"What do you mean by that, brother? Xia Ningxi is your wife now. How can you let your ex-husband stay by her bedside?" Ling Shuang questioned.

Ling Xiao said, "It doesn't matter, he's just an ex-husband."

He's just an ex-husband, why care so much?

Besides, her ex-husband is now with Xia Wanwan, so Ling Xiao has even less reason to worry.

If Xia Ningxi woke up and saw Huo Nanxiao guarding her bedside, she wouldn't even look at him directly.

Ling Xiao said, "Keep a close eye on Xia Wanwan. No one is allowed to take her away before Xia Ningxi wakes up."

“Okay.” Ling Shuang nodded in agreement.

When Lin Jiangbei was wheeled out of the operating room, the Ling family members were all surrounding him and didn't have time to pay attention to Xia Ningxi's condition.

So when Xia Ningxi woke up and found Huo Nanxiao sitting by her bed, she was a little surprised and even thought she was still half asleep. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep for a few more minutes.

She saw Huo Nanxiao again and waved her hand in annoyance, saying, "Annoying."
