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 915 I didn't go to see her
Huo Nanxiao was self-aware enough to know that he couldn't possibly go see Xia Wanwan at this time, otherwise the child would jump up and hit him.
Looking at Xia Ningxi, who was unconscious in the ward, he felt very heavy-hearted. He turned down all his work for the next few days and stayed outside the ward to keep watch.
Xia Ningxi slept for a day and a night before waking up and was quickly transferred to a regular ward.
The three children hugged Xia Ningxi and cried their hearts out, their tears and snot soaking her clothes, which she found disgusting.
"Dirty." It took a lot of effort to utter that one word.
Huo Yuan didn't hear clearly: "What did Mommy say?"
Xingxing wiped her snot on Xia Ningxi's hand and said with teary eyes, "She said we're dirty."
Chu Chu wiped the "oil" off her face with the star-patterned clothes and said in a childish voice, "We're not dirty."
Huo Yuan said with a pitiful look, "Mommy, does it hurt? You scared us to death."
"I'm not in pain, I'm fine." Xia Ningxi's voice was hoarse. She reached out to stroke Huo Yuan's head, but found that she couldn't muster any strength at all.
Her face changed drastically: "My hand? Is my hand broken?"
"No, no, Mommy's hand is fine. Is it numb?" Xingxing quickly took Xia Ningxi's hand.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, these hands must not be damaged."
For those in this line of work, their hands are the most important thing. They wouldn't even blink if their legs were broken, but if their hands were broken, they wouldn't be able to perform complex surgeries, which would be no different from ruining their lives.
"Thank goodness, my hand is alright."
Xia Ningxi was still shaken.
"Mommy, have some water. You've been asleep for so long, you must be very thirsty." Xingxing took a small spoon, dipped it in a little water, and dabbed it on Xia Ningxi's chapped lips. She had just woken up and could only eat gradually, not immediately.
The three little ones stayed by Xia Ningxi's side very considerately. One wiped her hands with a towel, one wiped her face, and the other thoughtfully fed her water. They did everything for her.
Huo Nanxiao, such a big man, stood by and watched.
It wasn't until he coughed lightly that Xia Ningxi noticed Huo Nanxiao was there. She was surprised: "What are you doing here?"
"Is that strange?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "It is quite strange."
"Did you hurt your brain?" Huo Nanxiao asked, puzzled.
Xia Ningxi got angry: "You insulted me?"
"Looks like his brain is fine." Huo Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She gently turned over, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her body. Her face turned red, and she let out a soft groan before daring not to move again.
She lifted the covers and examined her body; it was a truly horrific sight.
No wonder it hurts so much.
Recalling what happened, Xia Ningxi quickly asked, "Where's Tang En? Is he alright?"
“He’s alright. He woke up this morning, unlike Mommy who was unconscious until the afternoon,” Xingxing replied.
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Lin Jiangbei's condition is quite complicated, so someone has to stay with him."
Xingxing said, "But Uncle Donn isn't much better off than you. He doesn't even need someone to take care of him anymore, let alone take care of patients."
"Then who is taking care of Lin Jiangbei?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xingxing shook his head; he didn't pay attention to the matter.
"Brian is gone," said Honanshaw.
"That's good." Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.
When her colleagues heard that she had woken up, they came to give her a physical examination. After confirming that her injuries were not serious, they breathed a sigh of relief, changed her IV fluids, and left.
Not having to go to work and unable to get out of bed, Xia Ningxi was very bored.
She glanced at the three little ones sitting beside the hospital bed, then at Huo Nanxiao, and asked, "You've been here for quite a while now, haven't you? Shouldn't you be leaving?"
"The company is fine. I'll stay with you for the next few days," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi was flattered and thought Huo Nanxiao was joking: "No need, I can take care of myself."
"What about the child? How can you take care of the child while you're lying in a hospital bed?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.
Xia Ningxi bit her lip: "My brother can take good care of them."
“He’s constantly running between the company and home, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the kids. He’s not a spinning top; he can’t manage it all,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
He doesn't intend to leave.
Xia Ningxi couldn't do anything with Huo Nanxiao, so she simply stopped talking, and the whole family sat in the small hospital room staring at each other blankly.
After the anesthesia wore off, Xia Ningxi became much more awake. She gradually recalled who was behind this incident, and her gaze immediately settled on Huo Nanxiao.
"Where is Xia Wanwan?" After so much time had passed, Xia Ningxi finally remembered the murderer's family.
Before the car accident, she saw Xia Wanwan sitting in the car that crashed into them.
Huo Nanxiao continued peeling the apple naturally, showing no intention of replying, until the three little ones cast resentful glances at him, filled with reproach and scrutiny.
Huo Nanxiao wanted to pretend he hadn't seen anything, but the little ones' eyes were too sharp, so he couldn't play dumb even if he wanted to.
"Xia Wanwan is seriously injured and is still in critical condition. The doctor said she might not wake up." Huo Nanxiao said this with a heavy heart.
Xingxing noticed the blind spot and asked, "Didn't Daddy say he wouldn't go to see Xia Wanwan? How do you know what's going on with Xia Wanwan right now?"
"Yeah, Daddy, did you secretly go to see Xia Wanwan behind our backs?" Huo Yuan asked with a curious look.
Chu Chu: "Definitely, otherwise how would he know about that liar? Sure enough, he's a liar too. No wonder he likes Xia Wanwan, his whole family are liars."
Faced with the children's accusations, Huo Nanxiao said very seriously, "I did not go to see Xia Wanwan."
“Nonsense, why should I believe you?” Xingxing questioned.
Huo Nanxiao: "I've been with you guys 24/7 these past two days. You all know exactly where I've been. If I really went to see Xia Wanwan, wouldn't you know?"
"That's true." Chu Chu looked at her two older brothers in a daze: "What he said seems to make some sense."
Huo Nanxiao laughed in exasperation: "What do you mean by 'somewhat reasonable'? Which of my statements wasn't the truth?"
"Why do you seem so self-righteous? Did you really not secretly go to look at Xia Wanwan?" Chu Chu muttered softly.
Huo Nanxiao replied firmly, "No."
“Okay, without evidence, we can’t do anything to you even if you’re lying,” Chu Chu replied.
Huo Nanxiao was annoyed by the little girl, but he couldn't do anything about it. It was understandable that they didn't believe him, but Huo Nanxiao had indeed not visited Xia Wanwan these past few days.
He had to take care of three children at all times and also pay attention to Xia Ningxi's condition. Where would he find the extra time to see Xia Wanwan?
Moreover, Xia Wenhe has been waiting for him. Once he arrives, Xia Wenhe will definitely find various excuses to extract benefits from him.
Huo Nanxiao didn't want to punish Xia Wenhe while Xia Wanwan's life was uncertain, so he simply disappeared and refused to answer any calls from Xia Wenhe.
However, Xia Wanwan's nurse was found by Huo Nanxiao, and she would report Xia Wanwan's condition to Huo Nanxiao almost every day.
