299 She Had Waited For I (2/2)

”Oh, no. You don't have to do this.” The maid hurriedly helped her up. Perhaps, it was really a matter of urgency. She would never question her employers about their lives. It was just that this woman was simply sobbing too pitifully. She couldn't bear to see her like this.

”Actually, it is not that I don't want you inside. The master and madam are not in here. Even if you come in, it would be useless. You won't be able to see them at all.” The maid rubbed her head. ”You are one step late. They just left.”

”Left?” Xia Ruoxin took a step back as the color drained from her face.

”Don't be like this.” She felt as if her world had collapsed. The maid was shocked to see her like that. Would she kill herself? Looking at her now, it was clear that she could commit suicide if she didn't see the master.

”Left. They left…” Xia Ruoxin kept repeating the same words. Where did they go? Was it far away? Would she make it in time?

”Yes.” The maid nodded her head. ”Madam is pregnant so Master has brought her to the hospital. If you want to find them, you can go to the biggest hospital here to look for them. You…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw that woman turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

”Hey, what's the hurry? I just want to say that you should bring an umbrella with you. It might rain soon.” The maid continued to mumble to herself. She had never seen such a weird woman.

She closed the door but not before taking another look outside. See, she had said so. It was going to rain, and it would get heavier.

Xia Ruoxin kept wiping at her eyes. Was it because of the rain or her tears that were clouding her eyes, causing her sight to be blurred? Li Manni was pregnant. She was pregnant with his baby.

That would explain why he was unwilling to save her daughter.

Yet, they were both just children. Rainy was his daughter, too.

She never stopped running; neither did she stop crying. After she found the largest hospital in the city, she could see at a glance an inconspicuous black car parking at the entrance as she stood at its gate. However, she could recognize with just one look that that was Chu Lui's license plate number. It had not changed for the past four years.

She did not enter but stood outside, allowing the rain to beat on her body and face. Her clothes had been thoroughly drenched from the rain, and there wasn't a clean patch on her clothes. Droplets of rain fell on her face, rolled down the contours of her cheekbones, and onto her lips. The rain had provided some much-needed moisturizing to the dry and already-cracked lips.

She was waiting for them. As long as they come out, she would wait for them.

She believed that if she remained standing at this spot, she would see them. If she went in, she might miss them. There was no room for errors because Rainy couldn't afford to bear the consequences any longer.

The rain gushed down and fell on the body of that disconcerting woman. Her face was pale—devoid of all color, and her teeth chattered constantly from the cold. So, she stood in the rain like this, with no intention of seeking shelter.

A shudder escaped from her as she embraced herself with her hands tightly around her shoulders. It turned out that the rain in this season could still be cold and freezing. She stood and shivered in the rain, but she never took her eyes off the hospital entrance.

It wasn't until the pair emerged that a gleam came into her face as she stared unblinkingly at them.

She had waited for them. After all this time, she had finally seen them.

At the hospital entrance, Chu Lui took off his jacket and put it over Li Manni as he shielded his wife's head in annoyance. It had rained. Even though he was holding an umbrella in his hand and while they were not too far away from his car, he was still reluctant to let any rain touched Li Manni.
