Chapter 15 Huo Yuan is your child
Xia Luoluo understood Huo Yuan's personality better than anyone else.
Huo Yuan is currently in the recovery period. He is young and his body is recovering quickly. However, if he keeps his eyes open 24 hours a day, no one can stand it. If the Huo family finds out, they will only beg Xia Luoluo to stay with him in bed.
As for Xia Ningxi? At most, she only had one surgery performed on Huo Yuan. If the Huo family knew that Xia Ningxi was still alive, they wouldn't allow such a woman with a bad reputation to get close to Huo Yuan, would they?
The Huo family would not approve of her, a murderer who harmed others, and would not allow such a vicious woman to stay by Huo Yuan's side.
"To Huo Yuan, you are now just a complete stranger. He won't care about anything you do, and he won't listen to you. But as soon as I open my mouth, he has no choice but to listen. That's the difference between you and me."
"I haven't raised Huo Yuan for nothing all these years. He only recognizes me now, so it's only right that I educate him. As for you? Heh, who are you? What right do you have to tell me what to do? Don't tell me I haven't hurt Huo Yuan. Even if I have, what does it have to do with you? Don't forget, in name, Huo Yuan is my sister's son, and I am his aunt, his closest person. And you are just a stranger who died a long time ago."
Xia Luoluo slowly got up from the ground, leaning against the wall. Despite her disheveled state, she showed no sign of backing down.
Perhaps Xia Luoluo was very scared when she first saw Xia Ningxi. After all, it was impossible not to be shocked and scared when someone who had been dead for so many years suddenly appeared in front of her. But now, thinking about it carefully, what was there to be afraid of about Xia Ningxi?
What other trump cards does she have that make others fear her?
Is she the young mistress of the Huo family?
Huo Nanxiao didn't love her at all. He married her and got her pregnant just to give Xia Wanwan a legitimate status!
As for Huo Yuan, Xia Ningxi couldn't take him away back then, and she can forget about taking him away now!
Even if she comes back, so what? Does Xia Ningxi think she can steal away Huo Yuan, whom she has trained so well?
"Apologize properly now, quit this job, and go somewhere where nobody knows you. I might be able to let you off the hook for Huo Yuan's sake. But if you insist on going against me, don't blame me for being ruthless," Xia Luoluo declared directly.
The dean, standing to the side, could tell that the feud between the two was not something he could resolve on his own.
He knew that Xia Ningxi was just a small doctor at the Imperial City Central Hospital and did not have any powerful family background. He was afraid that Xia Ningxi would ruin her future because of this, so the dean gently tugged at Xia Ningxi's sleeve.
Xia Ningxi ignored him.
The dean pushed Xia Ningxi behind him and said, "Miss Xia, although I don't know what your past conflict was, Young Master Huo is our patient. Any doctor has a responsibility to find out the whole story when he has an overreaction."
“Since you are a relative of Young Master Huo, you should cooperate with Dr. Xia’s investigation. She is doing this for Young Master Huo’s health. If you really care about the child, you should cooperate obediently.”
Xia Luoluo raised an eyebrow: "Are you accusing me?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the young master is of noble status, and the hospital cannot afford to take responsibility for anything that might happen to him. Dr. Xia was just too emotional and anxious just now. Since you don't want to answer, then forget it. Your clothes are wet, so why don't you go back and change them?"
The dean tried to smooth things over, and even made sure to have someone personally escort Xia Luoluo away.
Xia Ningxi had no intention of letting her go so easily, but the dean grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her leave.
Only after Xia Luoluo entered the elevator and disappeared did the dean speak: "Dr. Xia, are you out of your mind? You're simply being ridiculous!"
“I didn’t,” Xia Ningxi said.
The dean gripped his cane tightly in anger: "You even pushed the second young lady of the Xia family into the water, and you're still acting recklessly? Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? If she's deliberately making things difficult for you, your entire career will be ruined!"
Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently. No career was as important to her as Huo Yuan. She studied medicine because she wanted her children to be healthy. Her biggest dream in life was simply to watch them grow up healthy and happy.
But now, she knows that Huo Yuan has been bullied, and she sees him huddled in a corner, covered in bruises from fear, and she can't do anything about it. Is it wrong for her to press the suspect for the truth?
Xia Ningxi doesn't think she's done anything wrong!
“You shouldn’t have stopped me just now,” Xia Ningxi said.
The dean was terrified; he clutched his forehead, nearly fainting.
"If I hadn't stopped you, were you going to kill Miss Xia?"
"I didn't bring a knife." She really wanted to pry open Xia Luoluo's mouth with a knife.
The dean was furious: "You're really going to pick a fight with her? Do you even know who she is? She's one of Young Master Huo's guardians now, it's only natural for her to educate him, why do you have to go against her?"
“Huo Yuan’s condition last night was not right. He must have suffered a great injustice to become like this.” Xia Ningxi is a doctor, and she can tell at a glance whether there is a problem with the child.
Huo Yuan is different from ordinary children.
Xia Ningxi has the right to suspect that Xia Luoluo has harmed Huo Yuan.
However, none of these hospital directors wanted to investigate. They were just running hospitals, and their job was to cure patients, not to meddle in other people's family affairs.
"Dr. Xia, I don't care what grudges you had with Miss Xia back then, but now, Young Master Huo only acknowledges Miss Xia. As for what you've said, it's none of our business. Even if the child has been wronged, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your job and not meddle in other people's business, otherwise even I can't protect you." The dean kindly advised, hoping to get Xia Ningxi to give up.
"Dean, if your child were bullied, could you bear it?" Xia Ningxi's eyes reddened.
The dean was stunned and asked incredulously, "You mean, Young Master Huo is your child?"
Xia Ningxi did not answer, her eyes losing their light in an instant. Was Huo Yuan her child?
Without a doubt, Huo Yuan was indeed the child she had risked her life to have, but now he belonged to someone else. If he were living a good life, Xia Ningxi wouldn't have acted so impulsively. But Huo Yuan wasn't living a good life, and no one knew how much her heart ached...
Xia Ningxi walked away dejectedly. She went to the psychiatric department, picked up Huo Yuan's examination report, and when she saw the results, she could no longer hold back her tears.
