308 Save Her (2/2)

”I never knew how much tears a woman could shed.” Gao Yi's hands were covered with her tears, but she evidently had no intention to stop crying. Was she trying to flood the entire room?

Xia Ruoxin just choked with sobs. No, no. She couldn't stop herself. She really couldn't stop herself from crying.

”Alright, I'm not blaming you. You don't have to do this; otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you and making a girl cry so miserably.”

Gao Yi pressed his hand to her face. ”Do you know? You've lost a lot of weight. It's been hard on you, isn't it?”

It was the first time someone asked her this. Was she suffering? Was she tired? She had been facing everything by herself all along. She endured everything on her own.

No one else cared. Nobody's heart ached for her.

”Hush, stop crying. Leave it to me in the future.” Gao Yi dropped his hand and wrapped it around her shoulders, feeling her protruding shoulder blades.

She was really skinny.

With such a body, she must have already been worked to the bones.

”It's okay. I'm here.” He tightened his arms and held the extremely skinny body instinctively. ”Sorry for being late.”

He apologized. If he had been in the country, Rainy might have already recovered. She would not have to suffer so much.

Xia Ruoxin shook her head. No, that's not true, but she felt a lump in her throat. She couldn't let a single word out.

”I know, I know. Don't say anything. Just know that I will save her. Leave everything to me.” He comforted her repeatedly. There was no way he wouldn't know what such an innocent woman was thinking.

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head and reached her arms out to put on his waist. ”Can I lean on you for a little while? Just a little while.”

Gao Yi patted her face gently. Don't you know you're taking advantage of me? Even though he thought of that, his arms wrapped around Xia Ruoxin's back automatically, and she was enveloped in his embrace.

Such a thin and frail woman should not have to bear this. It should have been the man's job. Since others were not willing to, then he would do it.

There were some things he was unable to let go of, for example, her. He couldn't let go now.

”Have a good rest. You don't have to be so worried. Look, I'm here. You can push everything to me. I'll help you take on everything. Remember, everything.”

He said, reaching his hands to caress Xia Ruoxin's hair. However, it didn't feel quite right. His hands twitched.

Seeing the puzzled look on his face, she took the wig off her head, revealing a bald head that looked exactly like Rainy's. The mother and daughter resembled each other tremendously.

”Very pretty.” Gao Yi smiled gently. There was no sign of his usual distance and indifference, only warmth.

Xia Ruoxin realized that they were hugging intimately together, and her hands were on his waist, not even wanting to remove them. This man was really warm, warm enough to revive her long-frozen heart.

She struggled against him slightly, but Gao Yi hugged her even tighter.
