Chapter 5 I've already died once
The man's voice, like that of a devil, sounded extremely abrupt in the quiet consultation room.
At this moment, Huo Nanxiao was sitting in Xia Ningxi's office chair. His face, which could bewitch all men, was adorned with an evil smile that was both terrifying and oppressive.
He resembled a ferocious beast waiting for its prey, his dark, deep eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
At this moment, Xia Ningxi was wearing a large work uniform, and her mask and sterile headgear were still on, leaving only her eyes visible. She didn't think Huo Nanxiao could recognize her just by looking at her eyes, so she tried to calm herself down and asked, "Who is Young Master Huo looking for?"
"Still pretending?" The man's voice was chillingly cold.
Xia Ningxi glanced at the business card on the consultation table. Xia Xixi was the name she used in the hospital.
"I don't understand what Young Master Huo is saying. Are you here so late to find out when your son will die?"
Xia Ningxi forced a smile and mocked him in the most polite tone.
Huo Nanxiao's gaze was deep as he approached Xia Ningxi step by step, looking down at her face: "Don't think that just because you're wearing a white coat and have changed your name, I won't recognize you!"
He angrily ripped off Xia Ningxi's mask.
A familiar face appeared in the man's eyes. Huo Nanxiao, who had been holding a sliver of doubt, suddenly smiled. His stunningly beautiful and devilish smile appeared terrifying at this moment.
"It really was you!" He was clearly gritting his teeth as he said this.
"Yes, it was me. You must be disappointed that I didn't die on the operating table back then?" Xia Ningxi couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she simply stopped pretending. She picked up the business card that the man had crumpled up on the table, smiled slightly, and threw it into the trash can.
"You still have the nerve to come back?" Huo Nanxiao said angrily.
With nowhere to retreat, she crashed into the examination table, her spine aching and her face turning pale, but Xia Ningxi remained silent and pushed the man in front of her away with both hands.
"Why can't I come back? Why can't I come back! Just because Xia Wanwan, whom you love so much, doesn't like me, does that mean I should die?" Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I'm just lucky."
"You dare mention Wanwan!" Xia Ningxi's words touched his sore spot. Anyone can mention Xia Wanwan, but Xia Ningxi has no right to do so!
The flames surrounding him almost engulfed the woman before him.
"What? Is Huo Shao's new wife so delicate that you can't even mention her? I heard she's been living a very good life these past few years, and she even gave birth to a big, healthy son for you. I wonder if she's happy that Huo Yuan is lying in the ICU today!" Xia Ningxi still had that infuriating look on her face.
But she forgot that in Huo Nanxiao's heart, she was the murderer who caused Xia Wanwan to remain unconscious to this day!
To this day, Xia Ningxi has no regrets whatsoever!
Her refusal to admit her mistake was what angered Huo Nanxiao the most!
Everyone in the world knows that Xia Wanwan is in this state because of her, yet she can still laugh.
"Living extremely well?" Huo Nanxiao angrily gripped Xia Ningxi's wrist, his strength almost crushing her bones. "If you were the one who got hurt back then, how can you still laugh today?"
"Heh, I'm not as lucky as Xia Wanwan," Xia Ningxi chuckled.
Bang!
A muffled groan!
The man was furious.
Xia Ningxi felt a sharp pain in her waist and was thrown heavily to the ground by the powerful impact. Her palms and knees were all scraped and bleeding, the blood that oozed out was shockingly red. The violent collision numbed her whole body for a moment, and she was in so much pain that her lips and teeth turned white.
After all these years, he still hates her just as much!
So that's why they treated Huo Yuan that way?
Because he hated her, he transferred all his hatred onto a child.
Huo Nanxiao, you are truly ruthless.
"Anyway, Xia Wanwan will never wake up in this lifetime. A person like her deserves to rot in the hospital room. If she's dead, she's dead. Young Master Huo might as well just get a new wife like he did back then." A glint of tears flashed in Xia Ningxi's eyes. She endured the excruciating pain and stabbed Huo Nanxiao twice in the chest.
"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you!" Huo Nanxiao grabbed her chin.
“I’ve already died once, have you forgotten?” Xia Ningxi laughed.
Huo Nanxiao was slightly stunned, his heart sinking to the bottom in an instant. He had been to the hospital years ago, but when he arrived, Xia Ningxi was already gone. There were several critical condition notices on the ground, and he saw them…
Looking at the familiar face in front of him, after two years of sharing a bed, he always knew what she was thinking and knew how much Xia Ningxi loved him. Huo Nanxiao even thought that as long as she didn't do that thing, he could forgive anything. But she was just such a cruel person!
Huo Nanxiao hated her, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt her.
"roll!"
This was the only thing Huo Nanxiao said to Xia Ningxi.
"This is my clinic. You're the one who should get out." Xia Ningxi showed no fear whatsoever, but rather extreme arrogance.
"I must have been blind to marry you back then." Huo Nanxiao turned and left.
Xia Ningxi was stunned. What did he mean? Wasn't she the one who was blind? If she hadn't insisted on marrying this man back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Yes, I must have been blind to fall for you. Even a ghost would reject a man like you. I must have been out of my mind to marry you," Xia Ningxi retorted without any politeness.
Huo Nanxiao paused, his expression clearly unpleasant.
"If you have any conscience at all, give Huo Yuan back to me," Xia Ningxi said solemnly.
Huo Nanxiao: "You think you're worthy?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Yuan is my son, everyone knows that. You shouldn't have let me live back then. Now that I know about Huo Yuan's existence, I can't let him recognize Xia Wanwan as his mother. You've already achieved your goal. Even if you keep Huo Yuan by your side, what's the point? You don't love him."
"It's none of your business."
Huo Nanxiao had no intention of returning the child to her. How could a woman like that possibly raise a child well? She didn't deserve it.
"Huo Nanxiao! If you're still a man, you should give my child back!" Xia Ningxi finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her voice cracked.
"You'll never be able to take Huo Yuan away in this lifetime."
Huo Nanxiao slammed the door and left.
The loud slamming of doors throughout the corridor drew the attention of countless people.
The staff on duty rushed out and saw Huo Nanxiao, who was covered in cold air, leaving Xia Ningxi's clinic.
Young Master Huo?
How did he end up in Dr. Xia's office?
As soon as Huo Nanxiao left, a group of doctors and nurses on duty rushed into the consultation room.
The door to Xia Ningxi's clinic was still open, and everyone could clearly see Xia Ningxi fall to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Yang quickly asked, "Dr. Xia, what's wrong? What did Young Master Huo do to you? Did he bully you?"
"I'm fine." Xia Ningxi stood up.
"He's bleeding and he still says he's fine! This young master Huo is going too far. His surgery was clearly successful, how can he still come to cause you trouble? It's too much!" Dr. Yang said angrily.
Everyone at the hospital was furious, feeling that the Huo family was bullying them too much. They also felt that Xia Ningxi was a bit too audacious, probably because she was a returnee from overseas and used to being free abroad. She didn't know who was in charge in this capital city.
