After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 211

Operating Room.

Xiao Nanchen was pushed out by medical staff.

His face was extremely pale.

Fortunately, he was conscious at the moment.

Xiao Qiang hurried over and rushed to Xiao Nanchen's side. "Nanchen, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

For a moment, Xiao Nanchen forced a smile.

Clearly, it took a great effort.

Xia Qiqi also caught sight of Xiao Nanchen's smile.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She wondered if Xiao Nanchen would still be able to smile if he knew that her right leg was disabled.

Everyone accompanied Xiao Nanchen as they entered the VIP ward together.

The medical staff moved Xiao Nanchen to a bed in the ward and attached numerous monitoring devices to his body. They administered intravenous fluids before leaving.

Once they left,

No one else left either.

They all stayed with Xiao Nanchen, and no one showed any intention of leaving.

Xiao Nanchen was starting to find it difficult to watch. "I'm actually fine, apart from feeling a bit weak. You all can go back home first."

As soon as he spoke,

Xiao Qiang's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

At that moment, Xia Qiqi's eyes reddened again.

Clearly, she wasn't the type of woman who cried easily, yet tonight she seemed to have been crying all along.

"Mom, I'm really fine," Xiao Nanchen comforted Xiao Qiang at this moment.

It was heart-wrenching how considerate he was.

"Nanchen, you know..." Xiao Qiang couldn't bring herself to say the words.

But not saying it

Wasn't going to keep it hidden forever.

He would eventually find out.

She couldn't bear to watch him unknowingly console them.

Her heart was truly aching.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Nanchen seemed to notice something amiss at that moment.

Xiao Qiang sobbed uncontrollably.

She couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"Mom," Xiao Nanchen looked at her.

He probably also knew that he wasn't as fortunate as he thought in this car accident.

"Nanchen..." Xiao Qiang's voice choked up. She said, "No matter what you become, Mom won't despise you."

"What happened exactly?" Xiao Nanchen tried to keep himself calm. "What's wrong with my body?"

Xiao Qiang couldn't bring herself to say it for a long time.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them.

Xiao Nanchen waited for a while.

He began to examine his own physical condition.

He seemed to figure it out all at once.

He was disabled.

In a car accident, the biggest aftermath could only be one of two things.

Either disability or disfigurement.

Disfigurement was unlikely.

Because when he had the accident, his face wasn't seriously injured.

The only possibility was...

His legs.

He tried to move his legs.

Ever since waking up on the operating table, he had been trying to confirm it.

But he thought it was due to the anesthesia not wearing off.

This time,

The smile at the corner of Xiao Nanchen's mouth gradually faded.

A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Xia Qiqi truly couldn't bear to see Xiao Nanchen in this state.

It was so painful, yet he kept suppressing it.

Xia Qiqi's tears continued to fall and fall.

Despite how much she disliked this man, she still felt incredibly guilty for everything he went through today.

Xiao Nanchen asked, "Are my legs gone?"

Xiao Qiang was also crying.

She was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Are both legs gone?" Xiao Nanchen asked his mother.

Xiao Qiang didn't answer.

It was true, the pain was indescribable.

At that moment, Xiao Nanchen ripped off the IV drip from his hand, clearly wanting to touch his own legs.

"Nanchen, don't do this, please!" Xiao Qiang hurriedly held onto Xiao Nanchen's body and anxiously revealed the truth, "Both legs are still there, they're still there. Don't be afraid. The doctor said that the right leg might lose sensation in the future, but the doctor also said that medical technology is very advanced now. With rehabilitation, you can still recover."

Xiao Nanchen's eyes turned red, filled with tears.

But the tears remained trapped, refusing to fall.

Xiao Qiang was genuinely heartbroken. She said, "It's okay, Nanchen. As long as you're alive, it doesn't matter what happens."

Xiao Nanchen suppressed his emotions, forcing himself to accept.

To accept such a cruel reality.

An Nuan, in that moment, was slightly moved.

She thought she wouldn't have so many emotions after experiencing it once before.

But because Xiao Nanchen was truly a good person, so good that she couldn't help but feel distressed when faced with his pain.

In the hospital room.

The nurse reattached the IV drip to Xiao Nanchen.

Perhaps it would take only ten minutes.

Xiao Nanchen made himself calm down.

That's right.

Although it was incredibly painful, he disguised it all.

In the previous life, it was because he could endure too much.

So no one saw just how much pain he carried in his heart.

An Nuan couldn't help but glance at Xia Qiqi in that moment.

She sincerely hoped that this woman, in this life, would cherish Xiao Nanchen.

"Xiao Nanchen," Xia Qiqi suddenly called him.

At this moment, she had also approached Xiao Nanchen's bedside.

Xiao Nanchen looked into Xia Qiqi's eyes.

Xia Qiqi pondered.

Even if there was hatred in his eyes.

If there was hatred, it would at least ease her conscience a little.

In his clear eyes at this moment, there was no trace of any emotion.

She said, "I'm sorry."

Xia Qiqi may be willful, but when she truly did something wrong, she wouldn't evade it.

So, what happened tonight was caused by her, and she would take the initiative to apologize to Xiao Nanchen, the person she despised the most.

She had even thought about it.

As long as...

There were no conditions.

From now on, she would never target him and Xiao Qiang again.

She would accept their presence in her home.

"Qiqi," Xiao Nanchen called her.

Tears shimmered in Xia Qiqi's eyes.

At this moment, Nie Ziming embraced Xia Qiqi's shoulders, seemingly giving her invisible strength.

Just from the police's testimony, it was clear that Xiao Nanchen's car accident was indeed related to Xia Qiqi.

"Can I marry you now?" Xiao Nanchen said.

Everyone in the hospital room was shocked by his words.

Xia Qiqi felt as though she had misheard. She stood there, staring straight at Xiao Nanchen.

It seemed like she couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Marry me," Xiao Nanchen said, this time using an affirmative tone.

"No!" Xia Qiqi suddenly and loudly refused.

It was instinctive, repelling, absolute.

She said, "It's impossible. I will never marry you in this lifetime!"

And Xiao Nanchen just looked at Xia Qiqi.

So.

No matter how guilty Xia Qiqi felt, she couldn't bring herself to compromise and marry him.

However...

When it came to love...

He decided to resort to deceit.

Perhaps it was despicable.

But he couldn't control himself.

He said, "Shouldn't your happiness be used to compensate for the leg I lost?"

His words...

Truly made Xia Qiqi, truly hate him.

All the sadness, pity, guilt, and pain she had just felt...

In that instant, they could all vanish into nothingness.

All that remained...

Was hatred!
