Chapter 478 Huo Nanxiao Becomes a Clingy Person
She's such a spineless coward.
Even after all these years, I still can't forget it.
Xia Ningxi looks down on herself!
But she also knew that no matter how reluctant she was or how much she liked Huo Nanxiao, what good would it do?
He has to take responsibility for Xia Wanwan and make up for all the years he has wronged her, which means their marriage is destined to fail.
She was destined to lose her husband, and her children were destined to lose their father.
never mind.
Maybe this is fate.
Xia Ningxi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and tried her best to calm herself down.
"I'm sleepy," she said softly.
Upon hearing this, the man released his hold on her and realized that her eyes were already wet.
"Why are you crying?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "My eyes hurt, I need to rest."
"have a good rest."
The man gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, so tender that Xia Ningxi was in a daze. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but all the words got stuck in her throat. After watching Huo Nanxiao leave, she gently closed the door.
I tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
She was very sleepy, but every time she closed her eyes, Huo Nanxiao's image would appear in her mind.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, but ended up staying awake all night.
She checked the news on her phone and realized that the hospital had already publicized her surgery and made a huge fuss about it. Xia Ningxi was in a panic. Her temples throbbed with pain. She rubbed her temples, but was startled by the temperature on her forehead.
She felt weak all over and struggled to get out of bed to find the thermometer, only to discover that she had a fever.
"It seems I won't be able to go to the hospital today." Xia Ningxi made a phone call to the hospital director.
When the dean heard that Xia Ningxi wanted to ask for leave, he was very anxious: "Ask for leave? How can that be? I have already sent out the message."
“I’m sick and need to rest. The patient’s condition has stabilized, so there’s no danger in performing surgery after a while,” Xia Ningxi said.
Dean: "But now people outside know that Ninghai Hospital is going to perform a very difficult surgery today. If you don't come, they will be very disappointed."
"Do you want me to go into the operating room while I'm sick?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
The dean immediately explained, "No, no! That's not what I meant!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxi contacted Tang En and asked him to send someone to guard Qiu Shiming's daughter. She then changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Huo Nanxiao had just dropped his three children off at school and was packing his things when he bumped into Xia Ningxi walking unsteadily downstairs, her face flushed an excessive amount.
"Why is your face so red?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I have a slight fever, but it's nothing."
Huo Nanxiao placed his hand on Xia Ningxi's forehead, his palm burning hot. This woman's fever was far more than just a little; her forehead was hot enough to cook an egg.
"I'll take you to the hospital," Huo Nanxiao said sternly.
Xia Ningxi refused: "No need, I just took my medicine, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"You're burning up like this and you're telling me you're fine? Is this how you take care of yourself?" Huo Nanxiao was furious.
Xia Ningxi replied, "I am a doctor myself, and I know my body very well. If I say I'm fine, then I mean it. The fever will subside once the medicine takes effect. I'll eat something first, and then I need to go to the lab later."
"What are you going to the lab for?" Huo Nanxiao asked with a serious expression. "You want to go back to work?"
Xia Ningxi nodded: "Yes, the severed arm provided by Tang En needs to be cultured in special equipment. If there is even the slightest mistake during the culture process, the severed arm will not survive. I need to keep an eye on it."
"Send someone else over," Huo Nanxiao said coldly, clearly annoyed.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't trust anyone else. I said I'm fine, so I mean it. Don't make a fuss."
Huo Nanxiao was furious at Xia Ningxi's indifferent attitude.
"Is work more important or your health? Is this really more important to you than your health? You're such a grown man, why can't you take care of yourself?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.
Xia Ningxi slowly raised her head, her tired eyes filled with determination: "I am a doctor. If I make even the slightest mistake, my patients will die. So I can't be lazy. I must be more vigilant than anyone else."
She ignored Huo Nanxiao and ate something on her own before instructing the butler to prepare the car.
The housekeeper was also worried that something might happen to Xia Ningxi, so she said cautiously, "Young Madam, why don't you rest at home for a day and go to the laboratory tomorrow?"
"No need, I'm fine." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm: "If you don't want to arrange a car, I'll just go out and take a taxi myself."
The butler was speechless for a moment, and he cast a pleading look at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao was surprised by Xia Ningxi's determination and said, "I'll take you there."
“Okay.” Xia Ningxi did not refuse.
The laboratory was purchased by Huo Nanxiao for the team that hosted Tang En. It was fully equipped, but Huo Nanxiao had never been inside, partly because he wasn't particularly interested in such things.
Knowing that Xia Ningxi still had a fever, Huo Nanxiao was worried about leaving her alone, so he canceled all his work for the day and went into the laboratory with her.
Tang En was surprised to see Xia Ningxi arrive. "Weren't you sick? Why did you come here?"
"Did the donor's severed arm survive?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Don said, "The current situation is not bad, shall we take a look?"
"Mm." Xia Ningxi nodded.
Don said, "Put it in area A, and I'll take you there."
"No need, I'll go myself," Xia Ningxi refused directly.
Tang En was worried about her being alone and wanted to follow her, but he found that Huo Nanxiao was even more eager than him, so Tang En immediately stopped.
Jerry asked, "Why don't you come along?"
Don said, "Do you see any space for me to stand?"
Jerry said, "Young Master Huo seems to have some free time today, actually deigning to come here. It's like the sun has risen in the west."
"You bet he's been acting weird lately. Instead of spending time with Xia Wanwan, he's been bothering our Xia Ningxi." Tang En couldn't help but complain.
Jerry glanced at Don: "When did Dr. Xia become yours?"
"Shut up!" Don said cursingly.
Jerry burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Xia Ningxi had already changed into the laboratory's special clothes and entered the sterile room. When she closed the door, she noticed that someone had followed her in. The person was very tall, and she wondered when their team had someone with such a good physique.
Looking through the lab coat, I saw Huo Nanxiao! How did he end up coming in with me?!
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "Why are you here too?"
"I'm the owner here. Come in and see if there's a problem?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute Huo Nanxiao's words. She also had no mood to argue with Huo Nanxiao and busied herself with her own things.
Huo Nanxiao followed Xia Ningxi everywhere she went, he was practically a tagalong, a clingy person!
Xia Ningxi muttered to herself: Is this guy crazy?
