298 No More Surgery (1/2)

He'd just pretend that he had never seen that child before. Yixuan was already dead. Everything that had happened was in the past. His wife now was Li Manni, and she was pregnant with his child.

This was enough for him to make his choice.

The black car vanished quickly. However, no words escaped from the man's silent lips. They merely pursed even tightly together. His heart might have been beating, but each sound was accompanied by an aching pain. It was subdued yet consistent.

The sky was getting dark.

The darkening sky was an indication of a new day approaching.

Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughter's face gently as her lips curled into a small smile. ”Sleep, Rainy. You have to be brave tomorrow. Remember that Mommy will be there with you all the time.”

She gave her daughter's cheek a gentle kiss. Then, she embraced her tiny frame into her arms.

Both she and Rainy could fit into the small bed comfortably as they were extremely petite. It only took a small bed for them to sleep in, with room to spare. That became their world.

The doll at the head of the bed seemed to stare at them until the darkness had passed, and everything returned to normal.

Tonight had nothing to do with the good or the bad that would happen tomorrow.

They slept soundly and deeply because they thought the surgery would go on without a glitch. However, no one knew that none of these plans could match the speedy changes.

The next day, Xia Ruoxin woke up very early so that she could cook a bowl of porridge for her daughter. She even put a bit of sugar in there. It was her baby's favorite food and the only thing the little girl could eat—the mushy stuff. However, after today, she would soon be able to taste the fish that her mother cooks.

She picked up a small spoon and began feeding her daughter, a mouthful at a time.

”Is it tasty?” She patted gently on her daughter's tiny cheeks as Rainy nodded her head hard.

”Mommy, it's yummy. Mommy's porridge is the best.”

Rainy took another mouthful. A child's mouth was small so she was eating very slowly. She has been eating the bowl of porridge for a very long time.

”Then finish it. Don't leave any left-over. A good baby always finishes her food.” She squatted in front of her daughter while Rainy dangled her feet at her chest level, swinging from time to time.

There were no shoes on her tiny feet, but they were touching her mother's chest. It was warm, and she liked it a lot.

When they noticed him, the doctor was already standing in front of them. Rainy smiled shyly as soon as she saw the doctor. ”Hello, Uncle.” She was indeed an obedient child when she saw someone whom she liked. She was such a well-behaved and polite child.

”Hi, Rainy. Have you been good today?” He came forward and rested his hand on top of her head. His hands were actually shaking.

Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When they opened again, it seemed he had reached some sort of decision.
