Chapter 119 Seeking One's Own Death
As dawn approached, Xia Ningxi hurriedly left Huo Yuan's hospital room, afraid of being seen by others.
Fortunately, everyone was resting at this time. After returning to the clinic, Xia Ningxi tidied herself up and took a taxi home.
When Huo Yuan woke up in the morning, he didn't see Xia Ningxi. He searched around the ward and only saw Huo Nanxiao.
He questioned Huo Nanxiao, "Daddy, where is Dr. Xia?"
“She went home,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Yuan didn't believe it: "Did Daddy kick Dr. Xia out?"
"No," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Huo Yuan was skeptical, but continued his search.
Hearing the door being pushed open, Huo Yuan quickly looked towards the doorway. When he saw that it was Qu Huilan who walked in, a look of disappointment appeared on Huo Yuan's face.
Qu Huilan smiled and said, "My dear grandson, have you missed your grandma?"
Huo Yuan smiled slightly at Qu Huilan, then looked displeased again.
Qu Huilan asked, "Who upset you?"
Huo Yuan said, "I'm not happy that Dr. Xia went home."
Qu Huilan frowned. That woman had actually left?
She came here today to meet this woman, but she didn't expect her to be absent.
Qu Huilan was somewhat disappointed, but she was still very happy at the thought of seeing her beloved grandson.
"Aren't you happy to have your grandma with you?" Qu Huilan asked with a kind smile.
Huo Yuan still looked sullen.
Qu Huilan felt heavy-hearted. She had thought that only Huo Nanxiao was infatuated with that woman, but she didn't expect that Huo Yuan was also infatuated. What kind of situation was this?
Although she hadn't met the female doctor, Qu Huilan was already certain that she was a very shrewd person.
Over the years, no one has ever been able to win the hearts of both father and son.
If we really had to find one, it would only be Xia Wanwan, who is currently lying in Ninghai Hospital.
Qu Huilan suddenly became very curious about who this Dr. Xia was.
She said to Huo Yuan, "Yuan, Grandma brought your favorite building blocks."
Huo Yuan said, "I've already solved the Rubik's Cube."
"Really?" Qu Huilan was shocked.
Huo Yuan said, "The stars made it for me."
"Who is Xingxing?" Qu Huilan asked curiously.
Huo Yuan realized he had let something slip and quickly said, "It's a little kid."
Huo Nanxiao had heard of Xingxing and had sent people to inquire about her before. It was said that Xingxing had gone to another place, but he didn't expect Huo Yuan to still remember her.
He thought Huo Yuan had been in the hospital for too long and had no friends, so he walked over to the little guy and said, "Yuan, once you're healed, Daddy will send you to school."
Huo Yuan did not agree.
He doesn't like going to unfamiliar places alone.
If he really had to go to school, he hoped to be with Xingxing and Chuchu.
He looked up and asked, "Daddy, when will Dr. Xia be back?"
"I'll be back this afternoon," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Yuan's face fell.
Qu Huilan felt a little sad watching her beloved grandson ignore her.
She glanced at Huo Nanxiao and walked out of the ward.
Huo Nanxiao followed closely behind.
Qu Huilan asked, "Just who is this Dr. Xia? Why does A Yuan like her so much?"
"I don't know." Huo Nanxiao couldn't figure it out either.
Qu Huilan said, "It seems she's quite resourceful."
"You came here to see her?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Qu Huilan said, "Otherwise what? You've been disregarding the Huo family's reputation lately because of this woman, so I had to come and see for myself where she gets such great charm."
Huo Nanxiao said with a gloomy face, "I will handle this matter. You don't need to get involved."
"I have no intention of getting involved in your messy affairs. If you hadn't disregarded the Huo family's reputation and gotten entangled with this woman, would I have come to the hospital to find her?" Qu Huilan questioned.
She believed that no woman with even a modicum of self-respect would do something like seducing another woman's husband.
Even though Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan did not register their marriage, people outside the family already regarded Xia Wanwan as Huo Nanxiao's wife.
Back then, it was Huo Nanxiao who insisted on bringing Xia Wanwan to the Huo family, which had already had a huge impact on the Huo family. Now, Huo Nanxiao has caused the Huo family to be talked about again because of a female doctor. If she doesn't intervene, won't the Huo family's reputation be ruined?
Qu Huilan was surprised that Huo Nanxiao would defend that woman so much, and warned him: "You better remember your place. Don't let your opponents find a handle on you and lose the Nanyang project like last time, letting others benefit from it."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I know."
Qu Huilan originally wanted to wait for Xia Ningxi at the hospital, but Huo Nanxiao forcibly drove her away, leaving her with a belly full of anger.
Back at the Huo family's old residence, he also mentioned this matter to Huo Xiuyuan.
"This woman is very shrewd," Qu Huilan said.
Huo Xiuyuan asked, "Did you see her? What does she look like? Is she very beautiful?"
Qu Huilan said, "I didn't see her; she's not at the hospital."
Huo Xiuyuan asked curiously, "Then how do you know she's very capable?"
"Is that even a question? A Yuan and Nan Xiao are completely infatuated with her, especially A Yuan. He only has eyes for this Dr. Xia and doesn't even acknowledge me."
Thinking about this made Qu Huilan feel very sad.
This is her only precious grandson.
She thought Huo Yuan would miss her, but who would have thought that even though she was sitting right in front of him, the little guy wouldn't even glance at her, his mind was full of that woman.
Qu Huilan said, "It seems there's a reason why the Xia family is angry. I heard Xia Wenhe is back, and this woman is probably going to be in trouble."
Qu Huilan knew very well how much Xia Wenhe doted on his daughter Xia Luoluo, especially after Xia Wanwan's accident, Xia Wenhe began to groom Xia Luoluo as his heir.
Now that Xia Luoluo has been bullied like this, Xia Wenhe will definitely stand up for her.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
...
Xia Ningxi sneezed all morning.
"Is Mommy sick?" Xia Xingxing asked worriedly.
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "I'm fine."
"Mommy's nose is all red, it must be because the weather is getting colder. Mommy, wear more clothes," Xia Xingxing kindly reminded her.
Xia Ningxi smiled, picked up Xingxing, and kissed him: "My good son, you still care about Mommy the most."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xia Ningxi's phone rang in her bag.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Xia Ningxi frowned as she answered the call.
It was Xia Wenhe calling.
He told her to go back to the Xia family home. If she refused, Xia Wenhe would come to find her himself.
Xia Ningxi hung up the phone and saw Xia Jingcheng rushing downstairs.
"Did you receive a call from your father?" Xia Jingcheng asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Yes, let me go back to the Xia family."
"No, you can't go back." Xia Jingcheng immediately stopped him.
Xia Ningxi said, "If I don't go, he will personally bring people to find us. What will happen to Xingxing and Chuchu then?"
Xia Jingcheng said, "That mother and daughter must have set a trap for you to jump into. If you go there now, you'll be courting death."
