Chapter 404: Chapter 404: A Disturbing Scene in the Ward

Fu Han’s voice, soft with a clear timbre, rang out, "Bai Wei, I’m going to the operating room now. You rest well, we’ll talk later."

Bai Wei jumped up like she was on steroids, snatching her phone back and cheering, "Finally done talking."

...

When Xia Ning arrived at the lower parking lot, the driver was watching a video on his phone. The sound of her knocking on the car window was so loud that it startled the driver, who thought he was being robbed and hurriedly looked up.

As the car left the hospital’s parking lot, the driver glanced at Xia Ning’s complexion in the rear-view mirror and asked in a low voice, "Lady, where would you like to go next?"

Xia Ning’s gaze drifted across the vast night outside the window, and she murmured the name of a place.

The First Hospital’s Inpatient Department.

The car stopped accurately in front of the Inpatient Department’s main entrance. Xia Ning opened the car door, got out, and climbed the steps in her high heels one step at a time.

She had been running back and forth between two hospitals these past few days: the First Hospital housed her father and brother, while He Xing was in a more distant hospital.

Xia Ning stood in the elevator, lost in thought and forgetting to press the button for a floor. It was only when the elevator chimed and the two people deepest inside exited that she suddenly realized her mistake.

She had unconsciously arrived at the floor where Xia Cheng was hospitalized. Since she had planned to visit Xia Cheng anyway, she thought she might as well make the trip.

Xia Cheng was an out-and-out profligate son. The ward he stayed in was the largest VIP Ward on the entire floor.

Xia Ning once commented that this ward was bigger than Xia Cheng’s own room in the Xia Family villa and even more comfortable, which was no wonder Xia Cheng, who was nearly recovered, still refused to be discharged.

The ward at the end of the corridor was Xia Cheng’s, and the window offered a direct view of the city center’s Ferris wheel. When the Ferris wheel’s lights lit up at night, the whole world was filled with a fairytale hue.

A nurse walked down the corridor and, upon seeing Xia Ning, respectfully nodded her way, while Xia Ning passed by without giving her a glance.

Just as she was about to knock on the door to Xia Cheng’s ward, she overheard ambiguous sounds nearby.

Xia Ning was not a naive girl unaware of worldly affairs. On the contrary, thanks to Yang Kaitai’s "training," she was extremely sensitive to these sounds.

"It’s only been a few days, and he can’t sit still again? Did he find a nurse?" Xia Ning thought, pausing in her movements and pushing the door out of curiosity, not expecting it to open a crack.

She squinted, trying to see through the glaringly bright light in the room. The man and woman on the sofa opposite the door were, more precisely, the woman sitting in the man’s lap.

The ambiguous sounds were coming from the mouths of these two individuals, and seeing the scene made the impact even more intense.

Naturally, the man was Xia Cheng. As for the woman, Xia Ning strained to see clearly. The woman’s long hair covered most of her face, but Xia Ning still recognized her. Who else could it be but Qin Nuan?

Rage erupted from Xia Ning’s heart. Just yesterday Xia Cheng had sworn that he would have nothing more to do with Qin Nuan, yet today Xia Ning had witnessed such a scene.

For a moment, Xia Ning felt like kicking the door open, but in the end, she held back. She quietly took out her phone and silently captured the indecent scene before her.

Fortunately, at these VIP Ward doors, there was a large cabinet for storing items, and because the two on the sofa were so engrossed, no one noticed Xia Ning.

As the activity inside the room neared its end, Xia Ning stealthily backed out, closed the door again, and turned towards the elevator lobby.

But she didn’t take the elevator to leave; instead, she leaned against the corridor wall waiting for someone.

It was less than ten minutes before Qin Nuan emerged, wrapped in a pink woolen coat, a formfitting black knit dress underneath. In this weather, she didn’t wear even a pair of tights, her ankles bare.

She walked with allure, her long hair swaying with her movements. Upon spotting Xia Ning, she froze, but only for two seconds before she approached with an even brighter smile, "Hey, Lady Xia Ning, hello, I’m so happy to see you."

Xia Ning frowned as if she wished she could squeeze a fly to death between her brows and looked coldly at Qin Nuan, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

"What am I doing here?" Qin Nuan laughed as if she’d heard a hilarious joke. She twirled a lock of hair around her cheek, a simple gesture imbued with allure. Her smile grew and spread across her face, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, "Didn’t Lady Xia Ning just see everything?"

Xia Ning was stunned and tightened her grip on the phone in her palm, which still retained some warmth. Yet the temperature in her body was receding like the tide, as she struggled to stay calm while confronting Qin Nuan, "What are you really trying to do?"

"That question should be asked of your Xia Family, shouldn’t it?" Qin Nuan’s smile curled up sweetly, "What exactly do you plan to do with me? I can keep waiting, but the child in my stomach can’t."

The image of Qin Nuan and Xia Cheng entwined together flashed through Xia Ning’s mind, and accompanied by Qin Nuan’s current expression, Xia Ning felt so nauseated she almost vomited.

For the first time, Xia Ning showed her hatred for Qin Nuan without restraint, "Qin Nuan, for your own good, I suggest you get rid of the child in your belly as soon as possible. Keeping this child will do you no favors."

"No favors?" Qin Nuan caressed her flat stomach, her smile unusually radiant, "But if it really brought no benefits, why then would Lady Xia Ning go to such lengths to have me abort this child? You know, this child is blood-related to you. He will either be your brother or your nephew."

"I have no relation to him," Xia Ning retorted like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, baring her teeth at Qin Nuan, "I tell you, even if you have the audacity to give birth to that child, no one will welcome his arrival. If you really care about your well-being, you’d better abort the child now."

"Ah, so you hate this child as well?" Qin Nuan chuckled, touching her chin and speaking meaningfully, "They say women have softer hearts. I thought you would persuade me to get a paternity test, but you’re even more ruthless than your father and brother."

She paused for a moment, and just as Xia Ning was about to speak, Qin Nuan interjected, "Xia Ning, I know what you’re worried about. Aren’t you concerned that the Xia Family’s scandal will affect your marriage to He Xing? Honestly, I think you’re too ruthless. How do you always manage to disregard other people’s lives? "
