Chapter 107 No Cure
That evening, Xia Ningxi entrusted Huo Yuan to Yang Yuean's care, while she took Xia Xingxing home by taxi.
Xia Xingxing was tired from playing and dozed off on Xia Ningxi's lap.
Xia Ningxi gently held the little one, and they soon arrived home.
She didn't notice a car following closely behind her, which stopped behind a tree as she walked home.
Xia Luoluo watched as Xia Ningxi carried a child who looked exactly like Huo Yuan into the Mingding Courtyard, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.
Soon, a crisp sound came from the phone.
"Hello?"
Zhang Lina said, "Lolo, why did you make me check Xia Ningxi's medical records? Isn't she already dead?"
Xia Luoluo replied, "She didn't die. She changed her name and now works at the Imperial City Central Hospital."
"How is this possible?" Zhang Lina was extremely shocked.
Charlotte said, "I have no reason to lie to you."
“But the hospital had already declared her dead back then, how could she have survived?” Zhang Lina said.
Xia Luoluo's hands clenched slightly: "Yes, why does she have to live? It would be so much better if she were dead! Back then, she tried to steal Huo Nanxiao from my sister, and now she wants to steal Huo Yuan from me. What a vicious woman!"
"Could it be that she works at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to take care of Young Master Huo?" Zhang Lina asked curiously.
Xia Luoluo said, "You guessed right, Huo Yuan is now completely infatuated with her and doesn't even recognize me anymore."
"How outrageous! Why is Xia Ningxi so persistent? What does she want to do now that she's back in the capital? Huo Yuan was someone you raised with such care, why should she get him?" Zhang Lina gritted her teeth.
Xia Luoluo was very sad: "But there's nothing I can do. Xia Ningxi is now Huo Yuan's private doctor at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. She spends every day with him, and I have to get her permission to even see Huo Yuan."
Zhang Lina said indignantly, "Don't be sad, I'll help you get revenge."
"No, no need. I know you mean well. It's all my fault. Huo Yuan is Xia Ningxi's son after all. If she wants to take him from me, there's nothing I can do. If Young Master Huo finds out, he'll definitely be angry with me." Xia Luoluo refused Zhang Lina's offer.
Seeing her friend being bullied like this, Zhang Lina couldn't stand it.
"Don't worry, I'll do it discreetly, and no one will know," Zhang Lina assured Xia Luoluo.
...
The Yu family, who had originally agreed with Xia Ningxi to perform the surgery fifteen days later, changed their minds at the last minute and insisted that Xia Ningxi perform the surgery on the patient immediately.
However, Xia Ningxi was not ready yet. She could rest for a few more days while looking at the patient's condition, so she refused the Yu family's request. Who knew that the Yu family would have a fight with the hospital over this matter.
The hospital had no choice but to arrange for Xia Ningxi to undergo surgery.
Xia Ningxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the operating table.
This surgery was very difficult, so Xia Ningxi needed Yang Yuean to lend a hand.
With only a 20% chance of success, Xia Ningxi dared not be careless, so she remained extremely cautious. After six hours, the surgery was considered a success, and the wound suturing went very smoothly. However, after the anesthesia wore off, the patient still showed no signs of waking up.
They were admitted to the intensive care unit a long time ago, but there has been no progress.
At first, Xia Ningxi didn't pay much attention, but the patient had been in the intensive care unit for six hours without waking up, which was a very serious matter.
Therefore, Xia Ningxi had to stay in the intensive care unit at all times.
After a long time, the patient still did not wake up, so Xia Ningxi called the anesthesiologist.
The anesthesiologist was more panicked than anyone else.
"I didn't miscalculate, this is the correct dosage. I'm also wondering why the person isn't waking up." The anesthesiologist asked, "Was the surgery unsuccessful?"
There are only two possibilities: either too much anesthetic was used, or the surgery was unsuccessful. Either of these scenarios could lead to the patient's death.
Xia Ningxi could only give the patient a detailed examination again, but before the examination was finished, the patient's heart rate dropped to zero.
The entire intensive care unit fell silent.
The next second, they immediately began to resuscitate the patient, but in the end, it was too late.
The patient died in his hospital bed.
The Yu family had been waiting outside the intensive care unit. Mrs. Yu was 100% confident that Xia Ningxi's surgery would be successful, but when the hospital announced the patient's death, Mrs. Yu could no longer sit still.
Her expression changed, and when she saw Xia Ningxi come out of the intensive care unit, she rushed forward excitedly.
"Dr. Xia, what happened? Why is someone dead? Aren't you very capable?" Mrs. Yu grabbed Xia Ningxi's collar excitedly.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm sorry."
"That was my own aunt! How could you just kill her like that?" Madam Yu roared shrilly.
People from the hospital were drawn to it.
Hearing the commotion, Yang Yue'an rushed over. He was shocked to hear that the patient had died. Their surgery had been very successful. Even if they couldn't cure the patient, as long as the wound was sutured in time, the patient would be able to wake up after the anesthesia wore off.
"Madam Yu, there might be some misunderstanding here, please don't get agitated." Yang Yue'an rushed forward to stop Madam Yu.
But Madam Yu ignored all the fuss and insisted that Xia Ningxi give an explanation.
Her outburst brought the hospital director over.
Upon learning of the patient's death, the hospital director found nothing unusual.
"Madam Yu, this surgery is very dangerous. I told you from the beginning that the success rate of the surgery is less than 20%. Since you insist on having the surgery, you should accept the consequences of the surgery failing. We sincerely apologize for this."
The dean took the initiative to apologize.
But Madam Yu was not happy: "Isn't your hospital supposed to be the best in the entire capital? You didn't say that before the surgery. Tell me, a 20% chance is enough!"
The dean's face stiffened: "I never said such a thing."
"She said it!" Madam Yu glared at Xia Ningxi: "Tell me, why did you kill my aunt!"
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She was also puzzled as to why the patient had died and wanted to investigate, but Madam Yu ignored her and rushed up to grab Xia Ningxi by the collar, intending to hit her.
Soon, other members of the Yu family arrived one after another, surrounding the hospital and demanding an explanation from Xia Ningxi.
The dean had never seen anything like this before. He hurriedly called the security guards over, but this angered the Yu family. In their rage, they started fighting with the security guards, and even passersby were accidentally punched a couple of times, causing chaos in the scene.
The Yu family, being numerous and powerful, quickly broke through the security guards' defenses and rushed directly towards Xia Ningxi.
A man in his early twenties grabbed Xia Ningxi by the collar and roared, "Give me back my mother! Otherwise, I'll kill you."
As a doctor, Xia Ningxi knew very well that she couldn't fight back. She said, "Let me explain..."
"I won't listen." The man raised his fist to punch Xia Ningxi in the face, but before his fist could land, it was caught firmly.
He stared in astonishment at the person who had stopped him.
"Get out." Huo Nanxiao said coldly, his voice filled with danger.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao defending Xia Ningxi, Madam Yu said angrily, "Young Master Huo, are you also planning to get involved?"
"This is a hospital, and she is the Huo family's private doctor. What are you trying to do?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.
Madam Yu never expected that Xia Ningxi would have the ability to become Huo's private doctor. Although she was somewhat wary of Huo Nanxiao, her Yu family had lost a living person!
Madam Yu pointed angrily at Xia Ningxi and said, "Young Master Huo doesn't know yet, does he? This woman just killed someone, and it was someone from our Yu family. She has to give me an explanation today, or I'll never let her off the hook."
"The patient your Yu family sent is beyond medical help. Everyone in the capital knows that. She's not a miracle worker, so it's normal that she can't be cured. If you continue to make a scene, you'll be going against the Huo family. You should think this through." Huo Nanxiao's cold voice was filled with a dangerous aura.
Madam Yu was immediately displeased upon hearing this: "Is Young Master Huo threatening me? Now that her surgery failed and caused a life to be lost in the Yu family, am I not even allowed to seek justice?"
The hospital director said, "Madam Yu, I told you before the surgery that this operation was very difficult and not 100% successful. Now that the surgery has failed, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Don't give me that nonsense, I just want the person!" Madam Yu was furious.
But look at Xia Ningxi, who was actually pulled behind Huo Nanxiao. Madam Yu was furious. She pointed at Xia Ningxi angrily and said, "So, you actually hid behind Young Master Huo. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Xia Ningxi said, "If Madam Yu doesn't mind, I can perform an autopsy on the deceased."
"What's the point of examining a dead person!" Madam Yu roared angrily.
The Yu family was furious, but Huo Nanxiao was the one standing in their midst.
The Yu family members naturally understood that Huo Nanxiao was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Even though they were filled with a thousand kinds of anger, they couldn't vent it on Xia Ningxi. They could only take the patient's body and leave.
Not long after I left, the hospital received a lawyer's letter.
The Yu family has already sued the hospital and Xia Ningxi.
Not only that, the Yu family also spread rumors that people had died at the Imperial City Central Hospital, and Xia Ningxi successfully became infamous this time.
Meanwhile, some family members of patients who died in the hospital also believed that their family members had died because they had encountered unscrupulous doctors, and kept coming to the hospital to cause trouble.
More and more people joined in the fun, eventually causing the entire hospital to be unable to operate normally. To make matters worse, patients who had been hospitalized and receiving treatment at the hospital all chose to transfer to other hospitals.
The hospital's reputation was ruined overnight.
Xia Ningxi's reputation in the medical industry was also greatly affected.
When the elders of the Huo family learned of this, they immediately asked Huo Nanxiao to change Huo Yuan's attending physician, but Huo Nanxiao did not agree.
Huo Xiuyuan immediately launched into a tirade: "The whole capital is buzzing about how this doctor killed someone! How dare you keep her by Huo Yuan's side? Have you been blinded by love? You'll keep anyone around! What if she tries to harm Huo Yuan?"
"This kind of naive woman loves to latch onto a high-ranking family like our Huo family. Don't be fooled by her!"
