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

”You do not have to thank me. I, too, am very fond of Rainy.” His arms tightened around Rainy's body once more as he said that, apparently worried that no one would like this sweet and adorable child.

”Will you give her to me?” Xia Ruoxin reached out with both hands, wanting to carry the child in her arms. Her eyelashes fluttered because a few beads of tears had already gathered on them.

Was she touched? She did not know it herself. All she knew was—this time—she felt a feeling of revival, like she had been given a new lease of life. Rainy could stay alive, and so would she.

Gao Yi shifted the child over into Xia Ruoxin's arms carefully. However, he couldn't help himself from worrying. Would she be able to do it? She was so weak, and he could tell that her left arm was completely powerless. Had she been carrying her child like that for all these years?

With her unbelievably frail body?

Exactly what kind of woman was she? She might appear weak, but her heart? How was she able to persevere up till now while facing the fact that her child was so sick? What kept her going?

Even though they had been very careful and gently; nevertheless, they still woke Rainy.

”Mommy…” Rainy rubbed her eyes as she clutched onto Xia Ruoxin's blouse. ”Mommy, I had a very good time today. Uncle bought me candies and a hat.” She touched the sun hat that she was wearing, extremely happy.

”And shoes too. Mommy, look. Am I pretty?” She began to swing her little feet to show Xia Ruoxin her new shoes.

”Pretty.” Xia Ruoxin praised her, and then she planted a kiss on her daughter's adorable cheek. Of course, her daughter was the prettiest.

While she did not know how she could thank this man for his kindness, her eyes still shimmered with tears from time to time. It looked like countless ripples swimming inside them. Gao Yi took a step towards her and placed a hand on her emaciated shoulder.

”I told you before. Don't thank me; I don't like it.” He purposely put on a sullen expression which was meant to scare them.

However, Rainy started laughing in Xia Ruoxin's arms. She wasn't afraid of this uncle.

What a smart kid. Now, he had really given up.

He admitted his defeat against this pair of mother and daughter.

”Let's go. It's time for Rainy's check-up.” Gao Yi did not retract his hand. Rather, he continued to lay his hand on Xia Ruoxin's shoulder hoping to provide her with some support to stabilize her. He was always worried about her tripping.

Xia Ruoxin noticed the tender look in Gao Yi's eyes that he was giving her. He did not intend to hide it or remove his hand. Xia Ruoxin wanted to lean on it for a while longer because she wanted to know what it felt like to have someone by her side.

It felt good. Really good.

To outsiders, the three of them looked like a loving couple who had been married for a long time with their child.

The man was gentle while the woman was beautiful, and the child in the woman's arms was exceptionally adorable.

Xia Ruoxin turned around. Her body suddenly stiffened.

”What is it?” Gao Yi felt her unnatural posture, and the look of surprise on her face seemed somewhat wrong. He followed her line of vision and saw a woman in black. The woman was leaning against the side of a wall in a lazy manner. Her lips curled into a smile while her eyes continued to stare at them.
