Chapter 10 My Heart Is Bleeding
Huo Nanxiao's gaze at Xia Ningxi seemed to pierce right through her.
Xia Ningxi's heart was so tense at this moment that it almost forgot to beat. Her hands clenched tightly, and her breath seemed to stop. What kind of mess could have happened to her!
“I’m talking to you. Did you see the young master just now? He was standing at the hospital entrance. He was so tall and wearing a very fashionable outfit. I have sharp eyes, I couldn’t have mistaken him.” Lu Qi continued to seek Xia Ningxi’s approval.
Lu Qi recognized him as expected...
Under immense pressure, Xia Ningxi spoke up under Huo Nanxiao's gaze: "Just now, two parents were making a scene at the hospital entrance, saying that their child was almost kidnapped by traffickers. Was that you? No wonder you were beaten so badly. Someone who works for Young Master Huo wouldn't be so poor as to abduct children, would they?"
"How could I be that kind of person? That child looks exactly like the young master!" Lu Qi was still trying his best to explain.
Xia Ningxi ignored him and said directly to Huo Nanxiao, "Keep your people in check. There are many children in the hospital. If he takes someone else's child, are you going to make the hospital take responsibility?"
Lu Qi's face turned ashen: "Young Master Huo, don't listen to her, I'm sure I'm not blind!"
"Then I'm blind, okay?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
"I...this...why are you speaking so sharply, little doctor? I was just asking you a question, not trying to kill you." Lu Qi felt very wronged.
Xia Ningxi ignored him and turned to leave.
Lu Qi grew increasingly angry: "Young Master Huo, look at her, what a temper she has!"
As soon as he said that, Lu Qi received a glare that could freeze a person to death. He was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth, not knowing what he had said wrong or why Young Master Huo was angry.
He wasn't lying!
"I'm not lying, that child really does look exactly like the young master, I saw him! You, you, you, stop right there..."
Lu Qi stood up abruptly and spotted a sneaky-looking child scurrying past the door. Who else could it be but the kid who had caused him to get a beating?
Ignoring his injuries, Lu Qi excitedly chased after the child, only to find that the child had disappeared around a corner in the corridor!
When Huo Nanxiao came out, the surroundings were empty, there was nothing there.
"Where is the child?" Huo Nanxiao's aura was chillingly cold.
Lu Qi: "I really saw it!"
Huo Nanxiao didn't speak, but only glanced at the doctor behind Lu Qi.
The doctor said, "I'll take him for a brain CT scan right now, and we'll also have him checked by an ophthalmologist!"
Then, Lu Qi was forcibly dragged away by the doctor!
Huo Nanxiao stood in the corridor, at the end of which Lu Qi was pointing towards Xia Ningxi's clinic.
It was empty there, there was nothing there!
News of Huo Yuan's fall from the building was gradually exposed by the media and soon reached the ears of Huo's mother.
After arriving at the hospital, Old Madam Huo berated the Xia family, scaring them into silence.
After scolding the Xia family, Old Madam Huo then started scolding Huo Nanxiao: "Is this the good family you found for A Yuan? You keep saying Xia Wanwan is good, but look at the kind of people in her family. They can't even take care of a child properly. If that's the case, you should bring Huo Yuan home and let me take care of him!"
Xia Wanwan has been staying in the Xia family to recuperate for years, and Huo Nanxiao left Huo Yuan in the Xia family so that Huo Yuan could recognize his mother.
He was a very ruthless person back then!
He erased everything about Xia Ningxi from this world, including this child.
But Huo Yuan is his own flesh and blood!
Old Madam Huo had tried several times to bring Huo Yuan home to live, but was refused each time. Now that Huo Yuan is injured like this, she can no longer keep him in the Xia family!
"Huo Yuan must come back with me. This time, nothing you say will make a difference!" Old Madam Huo's attitude was very firm.
"Okay, I'll pick A-Yuan up and take him home after he's discharged from the hospital."
Huo Nanxiao surprisingly agreed.
Xia Luoluo was surprised that Huo Nanxiao would agree to take Huo Yuan away, and looked worried: "But A Yuan has been by my side for a long time and has gotten used to it. I'm worried that he might do something rash if he suddenly changes to a new environment."
"Ridiculous! If A-Yuan continues to stay by your side, he'll lose his life," Old Madam Huo mocked.
Xia Luoluo pursed her lips: "Madam, Ayuan has gotten used to my company. Taking him away will only harm him, because he can only sleep when he is with me. No one else can coax him."
"So, according to you, A-Yuan can't live without you now?" Old Madam Huo was half-convinced.
Xia Luoluo said firmly, "Yes, Ayuan can't live without me. He can only stay by my side."
Is Huo Yuan inseparable from Xia Luoluo?
Madam Huo found it utterly ridiculous! She wouldn't believe this whole story, and she was determined to take Huo Yuan away after he was discharged from the hospital.
Seeing that no one believed her, Xia Luoluo didn't say anything and stayed at the hospital until dark before leaving.
After the Xia family left, Huo Yuan kept his eyes wide open, looking around.
Huo Nanxiao rarely had the chance to sit with Huo Yuan, so he told Huo Yuan many bedtime stories to coax him to sleep.
At first, Huo Yuan listened intently, but as the night grew later, his face became filled with unease. He remained silent, his emotions were very agitated, and he stared with his big eyes wide open without blinking.
Huo Nanxiao sensed something was wrong and assumed Huo Yuan was scared, so he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping? Is it because the light is too bright? Shall I turn it off?"
"Can we leave the lights on?" Huo Yuan asked cautiously.
Huo Nanxiao shook his head: "No, the lights must be turned off when we go to sleep at night."
"No." Huo Yuan strongly resisted.
Huo Nanxiao thought he was just throwing a tantrum, so he simply pulled Huo Yuan into his arms, comforting him while turning off the light. But the next second, Huo Yuan let out a piercing scream. He cried out hysterically, as if possessed, "Daddy, don't turn off the light! I don't want to sleep! I don't want to sleep! Don't turn off the light! Please..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes: "Don't be afraid, Daddy is always here."
"I don't want to sleep, I don't want to sleep, Daddy, turn on the light... please, please..."
Huo Yuan's cries were extremely shrill. He was like a kitten locked in a cage, kicking and thrashing wildly at his surroundings, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. His mournful cries echoed throughout the entire hospital!
The nurses on duty were so startled that they ran out from the next ward.
Xia Ningxi also heard the crying. At first, she thought it was some naughty child, but then she realized that the crying was coming from Huo Yuan's ward. Without thinking, Xia Ningxi rushed over.
Outside the door, two bodyguards stopped her.
Xia Ningxi said, "Move aside, I want to go in!"
The bodyguard remained completely still.
Xia Ningxi said, "I am a doctor. If something happens to Young Master Huo while you are blocking me out, can you afford to take responsibility?"
The bodyguard was so intimidated by Xia Ningxi's aura that he momentarily forgot to react.
Xia Ningxi pushed them away with all her might and rushed into the ward.
At this moment, Huo Yuan waved his hands frantically, struggling in Huo Nanxiao's arms as if the person in front of him was a raging beast.
"Huo Nanxiao! What did you do to him!" Xia Ningxi roared angrily at Huo Nanxiao.
This was the first time Huo Nanxiao had encountered something like this, and he explained, "I didn't hurt him."
"I don't believe it!"
Xia Ningxi's eyes were red.
Huo Yuan was clearly terrified. He cried and screamed wildly, then fell heavily to the ground, but felt no pain. He huddled in a corner, his face pale, and all the wounds on his body had reopened, the blood staining the white gauze red. He trembled in the corner.
Xia Ningxi's heart was bleeding.
