Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 912 I will take full responsibility for her.
Xingxing was extremely upset and vented all her dissatisfaction on Huo Nanxiao without restraint.
After the older brother and younger sister realized what was happening, they also rushed up angrily to hit Huo Nanxiao. They both believed that it was all Huo Nanxiao's fault.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his head and watched his three biological children punch and kick him with tears streaming down their faces. He felt terrible.
"Things aren't as you think," Huo Nanxiao explained.
Xingxing hysterically questioned, "I don't believe it! It must be you who killed Mommy! Why? Why did you do this to her? Why, Daddy?"
Huo Yuan was also very sad: "Daddy, Mommy is the best person in the world, why did you do this?"
Chu Chu went berserk and hit him, yelling, "Give me back my mommy! Give me back my mommy!"
Huo Nanxiao could only hug the three frantic little ones and whisper an apology: "I'm sorry."
"What's the use of saying sorry? If an apology could get you forgiveness, the world wouldn't need police officers!" Xingxing retorted angrily.
Huo Nanxiao felt heavy-hearted. He couldn't pretend nothing had happened, and he didn't know how to comfort the injured children. He could only let them vent their emotions.
The little ones cried more pitifully than the next, their tears falling in a steady stream, soaking Huo Nanxiao's clothes.
Xia Jingcheng stepped forward, pulled the child to his side, and whispered, "It's alright, don't be sad, Ningxi will be fine, don't cry."
"Uncle, are you telling the truth?" Huo Yuan asked, his eyes brimming with tears.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Really, she'll be alright. Don't cry, she doesn't like you crying."
Huo Yuan still had tears on his face, but Xingxing and Chuchu had already wiped their tears away with their sleeves, yet they kept sobbing and couldn't catch their breath for a while.
Xia Jingcheng couldn't appease the three of them by himself and was somewhat at a loss.
Ling Shuang and Ling Xiao sighed helplessly, stepped forward, and each took one away.
With their comforting words, the little ones' complexions finally improved. Lingxiao would even soothe Chu Chu, who was crying so hard she almost passed out, to make her feel better.
Huo Nanxiao looked across at the other side; one, two, three—everyone was holding their own child, making him feel utterly superfluous.
Leaving is not an option, staying is not an option either; in the end, all that's left is heartache and helplessness.
Actually, he did have feelings for Xia Ningxi, but he knew that Xia Ningxi could enjoy the best medical resources here, while Xia Wanwan was different.
As a member of the team, Xia Ningxi is treated with extra care by everyone, who will do everything in their power to cure her. Xia Wanwan, on the other hand, has offended too many people, and there are many who disregard her life.
Time ticked by, and Huo Nanxiao's mood sank to the bottom. He stood outside the operating room, feeling utterly cold.
He didn't know what he was afraid of. Was it the disappointment in his children's eyes? Or their heartbroken tears? Or perhaps... the news of Xia Ningxi's accident?
It seems that anything would cause him pain.
Suddenly, Xia Wenhe rushed over and said, "Young Master Huo, Wanwan is dying!"
"What did you say?" Huo Nanxiao almost instinctively walked towards the operating room where Xia Wanwan was, but the moment he turned around, he found that all three children were looking at him.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Young Master Huo? Why aren't you leaving?" Xia Wenhe asked in surprise.
Huo Nanxiao pondered for a moment, seemingly making a big decision, "If there's anything wrong, we can find a doctor. Even if I go there now, there's nothing I can do to save her."
"That's Wanwan. What if something happens to her and she doesn't get to see you one last time?" Xia Wenhe asked incredulously.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Ningxi is also in the emergency room. She needs me more now, so I have to stay here."
“But Xia Ningxi has already divorced you. Wanwan is your wife and the person you need to care about the most. With Mr. Ling and Xia Jingcheng here to protect her, they will handle anything that happens to her,” Xia Wenhe said.
Huo Nanxiao said, "It's different."
"Young Master Huo, are you really going to watch Wanwan lying all alone in the operating room, with no one waiting for her outside?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "You are her father, and it is more appropriate for you to take care of her than for me."
Xia Wenhe was speechless. He really didn't expect Huo Nanxiao to be so cold-blooded and ruthless, and he didn't expect Huo Nanxiao to refuse so decisively. He stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The three children were also puzzled: What's wrong with Daddy today? Why is he willing to stay and watch over Mommy? He's not usually like this.
The little ones were all stunned, their eyes wide open.
Xia Wenhe was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or not.
Huo Nanxiao ignored him and walked straight towards Ling Xiao, saying, "Let me carry Chu Chu."
Before the words had even finished, Huo Nanxiao had already snatched the weakest Chu Chu and held her in his arms.
Chu Chu was completely bewildered, her eyes blinking rapidly, tears still clinging to her eyelashes. Clearly, she didn't know why Huo Nanxiao was hugging her.
"You big bad guy, put me down!" Chu Chu said in her childish voice.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You should also let others rest."
Chu Chu was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled broadly and said, "I'm not tired. It's just a little kid. I can carry him."
"No need. I will take good care of my child," Huo Nanxiao coldly refused.
Ling Xiao said, "They are also my children. It's not troublesome for me to take care of my own children."
"Are we related by blood?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Blood ties aren't that important. Whoever the children like is their family. Surely President Huo knows such a simple truth?"
“They can like many people, but they can only have one biological father. Mr. Ling, don’t take yourself too seriously. To them, you are just a complete outsider,” Huo Nanxiao retorted coldly.
Ling Xiao remained calm: "It seems that President Huo is not quite aware of his place in the child's heart."
He waved to Huo Yuan and Xingxing, and the two little ones immediately came to Ling Xiao's side and sweetly called out "Uncle Ling".
Huo Nanxiao stared intently, remaining silent, surrounded by a chilling aura, his entire being exuding an extremely terrifying presence.
Ling Xiao didn't take his anger to heart, and remained calm as he asked the children, "Who would you rather live with in the future?"
“I live with Uncle Ling. I like Uncle Ling, and Mommy likes him too,” Xingxing replied immediately.
Huo Yuan said, "When I'm with my mom, whoever my mom likes, I like too."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and rubbed the heads of the two little ones: "Uncle will treat you very, very well, and will also take good care of your mommy. No matter how serious her injuries are from the car accident, I will take full responsibility for her."
