Chapter 2

The mournful cries echoed throughout the entire building.

The Xia family was extremely agitated.

Zhou Fenglin couldn't help but curse, "How long is this little brat going to cry? What a useless kid, messing up at a critical moment, just like his dead mother who was so detestable."

Xia Luolu's face changed drastically: "Mother, you can't say such things. Huo Yuan is the son of my sister, what does he have to do with that despicable woman?"

Zhou Fenglin quickly covered her mouth and looked around, fortunately, no outsiders had heard. She said, "When will Young Master Huo come to pick you and this little beast up?"

Xia Luolu replied, "He's already on his way, but Huo Yuan doesn't want to go with us."

Zhou Fenglin said, "He won't stop crying for half a day. In my opinion, we should just drag him out and beat him up, so he knows his place."

"No, if outsiders see, they'll say all sorts of things about us. Although Young Master Huo doesn't like Xia Ningxi, Huo Yuan is still his biological son."

Xia Luolu hated Huo Yuan, but she was well aware of his status. No matter what, Huo Yuan was the only young master of the Huo family. The Xia family relied on Huo Yuan to attach themselves to the Huo family. She needed Huo Yuan as a stepping stone to stand by Huo Nanxiao's side with legitimacy.

For today, she would let him off, but if he behaves poorly at the birthday party, she could deal with him later!

While they were cursing, they didn't notice that Huo Yuan had already climbed onto the window upstairs...

Bang—

A loud noise!

Everyone in the villa was startled.

Xia Luolu asked in terror, "What was that sound?"

"Bad news, the young master has fallen from the building!" The guard's voice was sharp from outside the door.

Xia Luolu's face turned deathly pale: "What? Fallen? Fallen from the building?"

She rushed out the door in a frenzy and saw a child covered in blood lying under Huo Yuan's room window. Who else could it be but Huo Yuan!

"Finished, this is finished! Young Master Huo is about to come to pick us up, what should I do! What should I do!"

Xia Luolu was in a panic.

At that moment, two glaring headlights shone from a distance, and a grand convoy of Huo family cars was heading towards the Xia family.

The Xia family members looked at the blood-covered Huo Yuan on the ground, terrified and at a loss.

Xia Luolu was drenched in cold sweat. She trembled and, suppressing her fear, rushed out to intercept the convoy.

"Young Master Huo, something terrible has happened, Ah Yuan has fallen from the building!"

The Huo family's convoy stopped, and everyone's faces changed drastically.

When Xia Luolu saw Huo Nanxiao, tears immediately streamed down her eyes.

"I don't know what happened, he locked himself in the room, and I didn't expect him to be so careless and fall from the building. Young Master Huo, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of him..."

"Where is he!"

The man was furious, his voice filled with a lethal edge!

Xia Luolu pointed shakily at Huo Yuan lying in a pool of blood, unable to speak.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Xia Luolu's collar: "If anything happens to him, I'll take your life!"

Xia Luolu was terrified, tears streaming down her face.

Huo Nanxiao, without hesitation, rushed Huo Yuan to the hospital.

The hospital director personally received Huo Nanxiao. Huo Yuan was severely injured and needed immediate surgery. Fortunately, there were many doctors on duty tonight, but because of Huo Yuan's special status, the director decided to have a recently hired, highly skilled doctor from abroad perform the surgery.

"Doctor Xia, today's patient is a three-year-old boy, the only son of Young Master Huo. You must be more careful than usual during the surgery. The surgery must be successful; otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble for the hospital."

At that moment, the woman was dressed in a neat white coat, her face expressionless as she tied up her long hair and held the X-rays in her hand, saying coldly, "All patients are treated equally in my hands. I will do my best for this surgery, but... which Young Master Huo?"

The director said, "The crown prince of the Imperial City, Huo Nanxiao."

Xia Ningxi's fingers turned white, and a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face under the mask. She didn't expect to encounter him just after being transferred to this hospital. No, how could Huo Nanxiao have a son?

"Huo Nanxiao has a son?"

Xia Ningxi was very surprised.

The director said, "Yes, a little boy, three years old. Didn't I already tell you about the child's condition when I came in?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife is dead, how could there be a three-year-old child? Even if the child was born to his ex-wife, he should be four years old now."

The director explained, "This child is not from Young Master Huo's ex-wife, but from the Xia family's eldest daughter, Xia Wanwan. Four years ago, when Young Master Huo's ex-wife just died, Xia Wanwan immediately woke up and had a child with Young Master Huo, named Huo Yuan, who is just three years old this year."

Xia Ningxi's chest ached, and the light in her eyes disappeared in an instant. So that's how it is, that's Xia Wanwan's child.

She put down the surgical gown and said, "Director, I'm sorry, I can't perform this surgery."

The director was shocked, "How can this be! You just agreed, why not now?"

Xia Ningxi tried to calm herself and said, "I just returned to the country and am not feeling well. Let Doctor Yang perform the surgery."

She was not a person who could easily put aside her feelings. She could have performed the surgery for anyone, but not for Xia Wanwan's child!

Xia Ningxi turned and left.

The director chased after her.

At that moment, the operating room was already prepared, and Huo Nanxiao was anxiously waiting, but the doctor was nowhere to be seen. His anger was about to reach its boiling point.

Just then, he heard that the lead surgeon was going to abandon his son. Huo Nanxiao was furious, and with a command, the Huo family's bodyguards quickly stopped the woman in white.

The corridor was quiet, filled with a sense of death.

Xia Ningxi could clearly feel the light behind her, sharp like a blade. She even suspected that if she left now, the man behind her would tear her apart without hesitation.

But what could she do?

Huo Nanxiao, back then, I called you so many times, even if I died, you didn't come to see me once. Now you want me to save your son?

How ridiculous!

Xia Ningxi's trembling body stiffened slightly. She turned around, her beautiful eyes meeting the man's fierce gaze. He was still as arrogant and indifferent as before!

Xia Ningxi had forgotten how much she once loved this man. Now, everything had turned to hatred. She said coldly, "Young Master Huo, I'm not feeling well today and can't perform the surgery for the young master. Doctor Yang is experienced, I'll go find him now."

Her clear voice made the man's heart tremble.

A look of surprise flashed in his deep eyes as he stared at the woman, step by step, approaching her!

The woman was wearing a mask, almost covering her entire face, and although the hospital's disinfectant smell permeated her, there was a familiar scent mixed in.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "If I insist that you perform this surgery today, what will you do?"

As he spoke, Xia Ningxi was surrounded.

Xia Ningxi's breathing quickened, and she clenched her fists: "Even if you kill me today, I won't perform this surgery!"
