311 It was not Tough on Her (1/2)

Gao Yi pulled the sun hat lower again as he carried Rainy steadily in his arms. Then, he made his way back to the hospital. That surgery must be done as soon as possible. Or else, Rainy's life would be in danger if they were a day later. He held the sleeping and adorable child, and his lips curled into a smile unknowingly.

”Your mom has given birth to you and raised you well. I am really very fond of you.”

Unconsciously, Rainy grabbed onto something within her reach; it turned out to be a chunk of his shirt. She slept soundly in his arms—the uncle who has treated her very well.

Xia Ruoxin slept for an extremely long time in the hospital. She woke up leisurely. However, when she saw the other bed opposite her, she sat up in a hurry. Rainy's doll was still there as well as the book which she had been using to practice her writing. However, she was not there. Where had her Rainy gone? Who had taken her Rainy away?

Her hands became cold, and she became very uneasy.

Coincidentally, a nurse happened to walk past. She noticed that Xia Ruoxin had awakened. She smiled and said, ”Miss Xia, you are awake.”

Xia Ruoxin asked hurried, ”Where is Rainy? Where is my daughter?” She was so terrified.

”Miss Xia, don't worry. Mr. Gao has taken Rainy out to have fun. They will be back soon,” the nurse said, consoling her. Once she heard this, Xia Ruoxin began to loosen the grip on her clothes.

He was the one who had taken Rainy out; she could stop worrying now. They might have only met a few times previously, but she already trusted him impeccably.

She sat by the side of Rainy's bed and picked up her practice book.

It contained Rainy's childish handwriting.

'I love Mommy and Mommy loves me.'

She couldn't stop herself from smiling. However, at the same time, she could feel her heart aching.

Of course, she loved her daughter. However, she had never taken good care of her. She had started taking Rainy with her to work ever since the little girl was just a few months old. When other children were basking in their parents' love, her daughter had already learned how to help her to wash or bring in the laundry.

When other children were asking their parents to buy things for themselves, her daughter already understood that she needed to save money. She had not asked for anything; even when she saw something that she liked, she would only take one more look. They were poor and couldn't afford it.

Xia Ruoxin had not given her daughter many good days; instead, she had given her this illness. It had caused Rainy to be in pain for such a long time.

She stood up, opened the door, and walked out. She missed Rainy. She missed hugging her daughter and kissing her. Rainy was truly her most adorable daughter.

She waited anxiously as passers-by walked past her from all directions. However, they were not the one she had been waiting for.

It wasn't until she spotted a man's familiar silhouette did she start to feel at ease. She took a step forward and made her way towards them.

The distance between them and her was getting nearer and nearer. It was really them.

Gao Yi carried Rainy and walked closer to her, step by step. Xia Ruoxin actually felt like crying. Her Rainy had never like to sleep in another person's arms. However, now, she was literally sleeping in Gao Yi's arms.

She approached them. When she looked at her daughter in Gao Yi's arms, she noticed her daughter seemed to be smiling. Xia Ruoxin rarely saw her daughter smile. Yet now, Rainy was truly smiling very sweetly.

”Thank you.” Her voice was breaking. Gao Yi laughed abruptly—a burst of bright laughter. He had not guarded himself against them, not the slightest bit. It was as though they had known each other for a long time.
