208 An Obedient Child (2/2)

After her daughter was asleep, she went out of the hospital once more. The sunlight outside was glaring, and she couldn't open her eyes. She wished she could stand there, but she knew she couldn't.

She wished time would stop. That this was all a dream.

The glare hurt her eyes.

There was some suffering which she wished she wouldn't have to go through. However, there was some pain which she had to bear.

Her hand went to her left arm. It was vaguely aching from the cold or the rain.

She bit her lip and thought of her child. Once again, she started walking.

At the glass entrance outside the high-tech building of Chu Enterprise, Xia Ruoxin seemed so little like a speck of dust as she looked up. Like four years ago, the security guards' eyes were on her every step. With each step she took, their expression turned more serious.

She came closer right in front of them. They stretched their hands out at the same time.

”Sorry, miss. This is not the place for anyone who is dressed inappropriately.”

Xia Ruoxin looked at her own clothes. There was nothing inappropriate with her clothes besides being a bit worn-out. Her clothes may be old, but they were clean. She was not a beggar.

”I'm sorry. I wish… to look for Chu Lui.” There was no color on her cracked lips.
