Chapter 323 Xia Wanwan woke up
Huo Nanxiao was frighteningly cold at this moment, and the chill emanating from him made people's scalps tingle.
The servants who passed by were all trembling with fear and dared not get close, walking away from a great distance. Xia Ningxi, however, was sitting opposite Huo Nanxiao and was somewhat frightened by this guy.
Xia Ningxi thought about it carefully and realized that she hadn't said anything wrong, had she?
"Beep—"
Suddenly, a car horn sounded outside the door, and a black RV drove in.
Xia Ningxi immediately stood up from the sofa and quickly walked out.
Qu Huilan led the three children out of the car.
Xia Chuchu ran over excitedly: "Mommy, Mommy!"
Xia Xingxing followed closely behind: "Mommy, we went to the zoo."
Xia Chuchu said, "Oh yeah, Mommy, I saw a big tiger! It was so fierce! It roared at me and scared Brother Huo Yuan to tears."
Huo Yuan blushed, his pitiful little face still bearing traces of tears. He looked genuinely frightened, but he was also very proud, and after hearing Chu Chu's words, his cheeks turned as red as a boiled shrimp.
"I...I didn't." Huo Yuan didn't know where he got the courage to deny it.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said to Huo Yuan, "Ah Yuan, are you afraid of tigers? Mommy is afraid too, but Ah Yuan is braver than Mommy. When Mommy was your age, I was so scared of tigers that I couldn't walk. It's not shameful."
Huo Yuan's cheeks flushed red as he asked in a childish voice, "Really?"
Xia Ningxi nodded: "It's true. It's normal for Ayuan to be scared when he first saw a tiger. Mommy will take you to see it a few more times in the future, and you won't be scared by it anymore."
"Okay!" Huo Yuan agreed happily.
Xia Ningxi held the three little babies and kissed each of them.
Since Qu Huilan took the three children out to play, Xia Ningxi naturally had to thank her.
"Thank you, Madam, for taking the children out to play." Xia Ningxi was very grateful.
Qu Huilan said, "My own child doesn't say thank you, and calls me Mom."
Xia Ningxi couldn't help but glance at Huo Nanxiao sitting in the living room, smiled awkwardly at Qu Huilan, and led the three children back into the house.
Huo Yuan ran up to Huo Nanxiao and said, "Daddy, Daddy, I saw a big tiger today."
Huo Nanxiao's anger subsided somewhat when he saw his beloved son. He gently picked up Huo Yuan and placed him on his lap. Seeing that his nose was red, he asked, "Was A Yuan scared and cried?"
"Yes, it's yelling at me," Huo Yuan replied obediently.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't be afraid. Next time, Daddy will take you to see the big tiger. Daddy will protect you."
"Really? Mommy just said she was going to take me to the zoo. How about next time I go to the zoo with Daddy and Mommy?" Huo Yuan asked.
Huo Nanxiao didn't hesitate: "Okay."
Huo Yuan was very happy.
Huo Nanxiao held his eldest son in his arms, then looked at his second son. Xia Xingxing was already sitting next to Xia Ningxi and didn't seem to want to greet him.
The two sons have completely different personalities. Although Huo Yuan is the older brother, he is timid, doesn't hold grudges, and isn't very smart. But the younger brother, Xia Xingxing, is different. This little guy's personality is like Xia Ningxi's. He is smart, has his own opinions, and is particularly vengeful. Now, he doesn't even greet her when he sees her.
As for early summer...
This little girl is exactly like Xingxing. She only treats Huo Nanxiao a little better when she gives him money. She's practically a money-grubbing little slut.
Of the three children, only Huo Yuan treated Huo Nanxiao a little better.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy at the thought that his two sons would leave the capital with Xia Ningxi in the future and he would never see them again.
After lunch, Xia Ningxi took the three children upstairs, and after putting them to sleep, she handed them over to the nanny.
Xia Ningxi went downstairs and found Huo Nanxiao was still there. She asked, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"No need," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi said, "I need to go out for a while. Is it okay if you take care of the three children?"
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Where are you going?"
Xia Ningxi said, "I went back to the research center; there are still some things I haven't taken care of."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll take you there."
Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Huo Nanxiao a few more times. She was actually quite puzzled as to why Huo Nanxiao had suddenly become so enthusiastic. But with a private car to pick her up, why not?
Upon arriving at the research center, Xia Ningxi went directly to the director's office to complete some handover procedures.
The director didn't want Xia Ningxi to leave like this and kept trying to persuade her, but in the end he couldn't change her mind. He was helpless and forced to accept Xia Ningxi's resignation, but required Xia Ningxi to complete all the handover work before leaving.
Xia Ningxi readily agreed and immediately went to coordinate the work with her colleagues.
Huo Nanxiao sat in the director's office, waiting for Xia Ningxi to get off work.
The director was very enthusiastic towards Huo Nanxiao, after all, he was a major funder of their research center, and they had to treat him well.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't want to talk to anyone at all. The director noticed this and didn't dare to keep Huo Nanxiao waiting for too long, so he hurriedly urged Xia Ningxi to leave.
Xia Ningxi was speechless and could only leave with a stiff upper lip.
Sitting in Huo Nanxiao's car, Xia Ningxi said, "Let's go to the hospital and check on Xia Wanwan's condition while we're there."
"good."
Without hesitation, Huo Nanxiao drove to Ninghai Hospital.
For the past two days, Jerry has been staying in the ward to observe Xia Wanwan's condition, and it can be said that her condition is very stable.
When Xia Ningxi arrived at the hospital, she gave Xia Wanwan a full-body evaluation. Xia Wanwan was really lucky. Not only was the surgery very successful, but the chip implanted in her brain was also being absorbed. All her bodily functions were recovering. When Jerry called out to Xia Wanwan, she could already move her hands.
Jerris was overjoyed and extremely excited: "It can move now!"
Xia Ningxi was also shocked when she saw Xia Wanwan move her hand. She hadn't expected that the things that Tang En and the others had researched would be so advanced.
She walked to the bedside and whispered, "Xia Wanwan, can you hear me?"
On the hospital bed, the pale-faced girl opened her mouth, but no sound came out. However, she actually responded!
Xia Ningxi thought she was seeing things and repeated, "Xia Wanwan, can you hear me?"
Xia Wanwan, emaciated and lying on the hospital bed, did not respond.
Xia Ningxi was very disappointed: "Forget it, let's wait a little longer."
She didn't expect Xia Wanwan to wake up immediately.
After changing Xia Wanwan's IV drip, Xia Ningxi gave Jerry a few instructions and then left the intensive care unit.
Huo Nanxiao had been waiting for her outside the door. "How is Wanwan?"
"Condition……"
"Something terrible has happened, Dr. Xia, come in quickly!"
Before Xia Ningxi could finish speaking, Jerrys' excited voice came from the intensive care unit.
Huo Nanxiao's expression changed, and he rushed excitedly into the ward...
Jerris and Honnold Jr. collided head-on, and both stopped.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What happened?"
Jerry said, "The patient is awake! She's awake!"
"Really?" A look of joy flashed across Huo Nanxiao's face. He pushed Jerry aside and saw the girl on the hospital bed who was on the verge of death, but who had already opened her eyes.
The moment she saw Huo Nanxiao, her eyes welled up with tears, but she was too weak to utter a single word. She could only look at Huo Nanxiao, tears streaming down her face...
Huo Nanxiao walked over, took Xia Wanwan's hand, and said in a deep voice, "You...you're finally awake."
This sentence, spoken in a low and affectionate tone, seemed to have been awaited for a long time.
Xia Ningxi originally wanted to go in and check on Xia Wanwan's condition, but when she saw Huo Nanxiao rush into the ward first, Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks. She saw Huo Nanxiao holding Xia Wanwan's hand, and her eyes hurt a little from the dim light in the ward. She could only silently walk out of the ward.
Jerry didn't pay attention to Xia Ningxi's condition. After leaving the intensive care unit, he rushed to Tang En's ward.
When Tang En heard that Xia Wanwan had woken up, he was very excited and, disregarding his injuries, quickly got out of bed.
Jerris immediately helped him up: "Slow down!"
Tang En said, "Why didn't you tell me sooner that Xia Wanwan woke up?"
Jerry said, "I just woke up, that's why I rushed over to tell you. Be careful not to aggravate your wound."
Tang En couldn't care less about anything else; he had to go check on Xia Wanwan's condition, otherwise he wouldn't be able to feel at ease.
With Jerry's help, Don arrived at the intensive care unit immediately. He was both surprised and delighted to see that Xia Wanwan had already opened her eyes. He was very happy and quickly gave Xia Wanwan a check-up.
Huo Nanxiao stood to the side, asking worriedly, "How is it?"
"The recovery is very good," said Don. "But the patient is very weak now and doesn't seem to be able to speak yet. He needs to rest for a while."
After a pause, Don continued, "During this period, the patient needs to get plenty of rest, and you can slowly try feeding them some liquid food."
"Okay." Huo Nanxiao wrote it all down.
Tang En was very happy and left the ward after explaining everything.
Seeing Xia Ningxi standing motionless outside the ward, Tang En was somewhat surprised: "Why are you standing here? Aren't you going in to check on her?"
"No, I'd better wait outside. It's not appropriate for too many people to go in." Xia Ningxi politely declined Tang En's invitation.
Tang En said, "Xia Wanwan has woken up. This is great news for you. Now that she's awake, Huo Nanxiao can fulfill his promise to you."
"Mm," Xia Ningxi replied faintly.
Tang En told the rest of the team about it, and everyone was very happy to hear that Xia Wanwan had woken up. Even the director of Ninghai Hospital and the doctor who had been Xia Wanwan's attending physician for four years came to visit her.
The entire hospital was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Zhou Fenglin and Xia Wenhe also received the news one after another and rushed to Ninghai Hospital as soon as possible. The entire ward was soon crowded with people. Xia Ningxi had nowhere to go, so she quietly left the hospital, found a small shop, asked for an ice cream, and sat on a bench by the roadside to eat it quietly.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in school, she often ate ice cream next to the school store. It was still the same brand, and although the price had gone up over the years, the taste hadn't changed at all. It was still so delicious. However, she probably wouldn't be able to eat it anymore.
The phone in my bag rang.
Xia Ningxi stared at the words "Huo Nanxiao" on the screen and fell silent.
