Chapter 714 You've Finally Arrived
Huo Nanxiao's expression became visibly unnatural. Xia Ningxi's words made him feel uncomfortable, and guilt instantly filled his heart.
Xia Ningxi said, "Isn't Xia Wanwan waiting for you? The more time you waste here, the sadder she will be."
"You don't want me to stay?" Huo Nanxiao asked, voicing his doubts.
Xia Ningxi met his eyes: "If I asked you to stay with me and the child, would you listen to me?"
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, gripping his phone tightly, offering no answer.
But his silence was the best answer.
Xia Ningxi always knew the difference between herself and Xia Wanwan, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao would definitely meet with Xia Wanwan if she asked him to.
Xia Wanwan even went so far as to feign illness, which shows how much she misses Huo Nanxiao. If he doesn't leave, Xia Wanwan probably won't give up easily.
Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi sneered: "Your heart isn't here, so you might as well leave now. I'll take good care of the three children, and once they've had their fun, I'll send them home. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"I'm sorry." Huo Nanxiao turned to leave.
Seeing his departing figure from afar, Huo Yuan hurriedly jumped off the slide.
"Daddy, Daddy! Where are you going!" Huo Yuan stumbled and ran towards Huo Nanxiao.
The little guy's pitiful appearance made Huo Nanxiao feel uneasy. He stopped, hugged the little guy who was running towards him, and said softly, "I have to go out for a while. I'll come back to pick you up later."
Huo Yuan: "What is it? Didn't Daddy get off work? Do you still have to go to the company? I won't allow it, I want Daddy to stay and keep me company."
"Ah Yuan, be good, don't be silly, I'll be back soon," Huo Nanxiao continued to reassure him.
But Huo Yuan didn't want to hear it at all: "I don't want to hear it, I don't want Daddy to leave, I don't want to."
He suddenly sat down on the ground and started crying.
A four-year-old child isn't actually that sensible; he can feel wronged and sad too.
Huo Nanxiao felt a pang of pity and hugged Huo Yuan, soothing him softly, "A Yuan, be good. You play with your younger brother and sister first. I told you, I'll come back to pick you up as soon as I'm done."
"I don't believe it. Is Daddy going to see another woman?" Huo Yuan questioned loudly.
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened, and he denied it: "No."
Huo Yuan got angry: "You are the one. I noticed during dinner tonight that someone kept sending messages and making phone calls to Daddy. It was looking for you. Was it Xia Wanwan? Do you want me or Xia Wanwan?"
"It wasn't her," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Huo Yuan got even angrier: "Daddy is lying. My brother told me that Xia Wanwan called you dozens of times. If you didn't go to see her, who else would you go to see?"
"How could he know?" Huo Nanxiao's eyes sharpened instantly.
Huo Yuan: "Don't worry about how your brother found out. Just don't try to hide it from us. We know everything."
Huo Nanxiao originally thought he could keep it a secret because he hadn't told anyone about it. Even if Huo Xiuyuan knew, he wouldn't be able to see Huo Nanxiao's phone, let alone know how many times Xia Wanwan had called him.
Now, things are good; his children know everything that others don't.
Huo Nanxiao was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or not.
Huo Yuan clung to Huo Nanxiao, refusing to move an inch, when the phone rang at that very moment. He knew who was calling and was thinking of calming the child down before going to see Xia Wanwan, but Huo Yuan answered the phone first.
"Young Master Huo! You finally answered the phone! Come quickly and see my sister, she's dying." Xia Luoluo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Huo Yuan snapped, "My daddy isn't a doctor. If you're sick, go see a doctor. Why are you coming to my daddy?"
Xia Luoluo: "A Yuan? Is that you?"
Huo Yuan fell silent the moment he was recognized. He still had a psychological trauma from Xia Luoluo, and after being called out by name, he subconsciously shut his mouth and dared not utter a sound. His eyes were filled with fear and unease.
Huo Nanxiao took the phone and asked Xia Luoluo, "What happened?"
"My sister was humiliated today and couldn't bear it, so she swallowed pills and committed suicide." Xia Luoluo's voice was choked with sobs.
Huo Nanxiao gripped his phone tightly: "Which hospital? How is the situation? Is it life-threatening?"
"The doctors have been trying to save my sister all day, but she has no will to live anymore. She's been in a coma the whole time, and the doctors don't know if she'll ever wake up," Xia Luoluo said, breaking down in tears.
Huo Nanxiao was in a bad mood. He knew that Xia Wanwan had been to the hospital today and that she had been wronged there. But Huo Nanxiao knew very well that Xia Ningxi would never hurt Xia Wanwan. If she didn't go looking for trouble with Xia Ningxi, nothing would have happened.
But now...
Huo Nanxiao's gaze was fixed on Xia Ningxi.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I force her to die?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Xia Luoluo: "Young Master Huo? Is Xia Ningxi with you?"
"It was her. It's all because of her. She humiliated my sister, made her lose face in front of so many people, and made her lose the will to live. It's all because of her."
She loudly accused Xia Ningxi of crimes.
Huo Nanxiao's phone was ringing very clearly, and Xia Ningxi heard Xia Luoluo's words perfectly. She almost burst out laughing.
"It's all my fault? That's ridiculous." This was the first time in a long time that she had encountered something so funny.
Huo Nanxiao didn't want Xia Ningxi to get involved, so he said to Xia Luoluo, "Take good care of your sister. I'll go see her later."
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Huo." Xia Luoluo was very happy.
After the call ended, Huo Nanxiao fell silent.
Xia Ningxi was furious and didn't want to pay attention to him. She held Huo Yuan in her arms without saying a word.
"Is Daddy going to visit Xia Wanwan?" Huo Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Huo Nanxiao didn't hide anything: "Yes."
"But Daddy promised to stay with me." Huo Yuan was very sad.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Your Aunt Wanwan is sick. I need to visit her to put my mind at ease."
"But Daddy isn't a doctor. Isn't there already a doctor taking care of you? Why should Daddy go? You can't cure diseases or save lives, so what can you do there?" Huo Yuan questioned loudly.
Huo Nanxiao was stumped by this question. Indeed, he was not a doctor, and there was nothing he could do if he went there.
He knew that the Xia family insisted on seeing him to seek justice and find a new way out. They had been driven to the brink by Huo Xiuyuan, and without his help, the Xia family would never be able to turn things around.
Huo Nanxiao had long seen clearly what they wanted.
But in the photo, Xia Wanwan is lying in a hospital bed, unable to breathe on her own and needing an oxygen machine, which shows how serious her illness is.
Even if Huo Nanxiao didn't care about other people's lives, he still had to check on Xia Wanwan's safety; he ultimately felt guilty towards her.
Therefore, Huo Nanxiao did not agree to Huo Yuan's request.
"I'll be back soon," Huo Nanxiao assured the child.
Huo Yuan hugged Huo Nanxiao tightly: "No, I won't let Daddy leave. If Daddy leaves me alone today, I will never call you Daddy again."
Huo Nanxiao was deeply moved.
People passing by also looked over at the father and son. Seeing Huo Yuan pitifully shedding tears, they all criticized Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao couldn't bear to see Huo Yuan cry, so he helplessly hugged him and said, "I'll take you with me, is that alright?"
"No, we have to take Mommy with us. Who knows if they're faking illness?" Huo Yuan replied.
Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Ningxi: "You're coming with us."
"Is it appropriate?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Huo Nanxiao said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. You're a good doctor, so you can also give Wanwan a check-up while you're at it."
“Okay.” Xia Ningxi did not refuse.
In fact, she could have easily denied everything, but Xia Luoluo had just said on the phone that she had driven Xia Wanwan to despair, so Xia Ningxi naturally had to ask Xia Wanwan what she really meant.
Chu Chu and Xing Xing came out of the inflatable castle, and the family of five went to the Xia family's house.
The Xia family has a professional medical room and a private doctor. Zhou Fenglin, for some unknown reason, learned that Huo Nanxiao was coming and immediately took Xia Wanwan home from the hospital.
They had already figured out what to do after meeting Huo Nanxiao, but just as Xia Luoluo, full of anticipation, had prepared everything and was waiting for Huo Nanxiao to jump into the circle, he appeared with Xia Ningxi.
The moment Xia Luoluo saw Xia Ningxi, she was completely devastated.
Zhou Fenglin's smile vanished, and his face fell.
"Young Master Huo, you've finally arrived." Zhou Fenglin suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Xia Luoluo then asked, "Why did Sister Ningxi come along too?"
"You don't welcome me?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Luoluo said, "It's not that I don't welcome you, it's just that my sister was humiliated in your hospital today. She is so ashamed and has no face to live anymore. If you appear in front of my sister at this time, I don't know what she will think."
"What humiliation? Explain yourself clearly," Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Luoluo: "Forget it, since Young Master Huo is here, I don't want to tarnish your reputation. But right now, my sister really doesn't want to see you, and neither do we. Please wait outside."
This is essentially her issuing an order to leave.
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, pushed her aside, and swaggered into the Xia family home.
Xia Luoluo's face turned green.
Zhou Fenglin was also very angry.
Xia Ningxi didn't care at all. After entering the Xia family home, she sat down directly and made the three children sit in a row. She gave all the fruit on the table to the children to eat, treating the place as her own home.
The mother and daughter were furious at the sight. They would feel bad if Xia Ningxi's child ate even one more grape from their family!
However, the two could only endure it and dared not show their anger in person, after all, this was Huo Nanxiao's child.
Huo Nanxiao looked around and asked, "Where's Wanwan?"
Zhou Fenglin said, "Wanwan is still in the intensive care unit, with doctors watching over her. Her condition is very bad right now. Young Master Huo, she wouldn't be so desperate if she hadn't suffered some great injustice. You must stand up for Wanwan."
"Lead the way, I'm going to see her," Huo Nanxiao ordered.
Zhou Fenglin was overjoyed, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in Xia Luoluo's eyes. Huo Nanxiao didn't notice, but Xia Ningxi did.
Xia Ningxi wondered: Why did these two people smile so sinisterly? What were they planning to do?
"Stop!" Xia Ningxi called out to the group.
Zhou Fenglin stopped, turned around, and said angrily, "What else do you want to do?"
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "I also want to go see Xia Wanwan."
"You? You've almost made her angry to death, and you still have the nerve to see her?" Zhou Fenglin was furious.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm a doctor. If anything happens to her, I will help you save her."
