313 Didnst Look Like One (1/2)
”Mmm, my name is Rainy. I am three years old now. My last name is Xia. It is the same as Mommy. Auntie, you are so beautiful, and you smell nice… like Mommy.”
She nuzzled her face in Shen Wei's breasts. That made her look exceptionally adorable.
Shen Wei could feel the child's cuteness rubbed on her. She was captivated by Rainy. She was so fond of this child.
”Can I know what illness has she contracted?” Shen Wei asked Xia Ruoxin as she carried the child. Xia Ruoxin's heart suddenly tightened, and her lips quivered.
”She has acute leukemia.” Her voice sounded dry until she felt the two hands squeezed her shoulders hard.
”Don't worry about us. We are going to have surgery very soon.”
”I know.” Xia Ruoxin clutched the envelope tightly. Finally, there was a smile on her face. That's right. Once the surgery was done, her daughter would be that same healthy girl again.
Shen Wei was visibly stunned. She had no idea this child was so sick.
She looked up at the man standing behind Xia Ruoxin and asked, ”May I know who this gentleman is?” She had never heard Xia Ruoxin mentioned such a character.
”Hi, Miss Shen. My name is Gao Yi, Rainy's bone marrow donor.” If this woman hadn't shown her friendliness, he would not have spoken to her. Naturally, he would not have been agreeable if she had come here to harm Xia Ruoxin or Rainy.
Oh, I see. This little girl would be fine. That was her belief. Such a wonderful child would definitely be blessed.
”Alright now, I am leaving. If I have the chance, I will be back to visit and check on Rainy.”
She hoisted the child higher in her arms and smiled sincerely. It might looked strain, but her smile—at this moment—was full of sincerity from the bottom of her heart.
Gao Yi approached and took over Rainy from her. The little girl stretched her hand out and waved at Shen Wei. ”Bye, bye, Auntie.” She bid her farewell, gave a small yawn, and then she leaned back into Gao Yi's arms, gradually closing her eyes.
”Thank you, Shen Wei.” The envelope was still in Xia Ruoxin's hands, close to her bosom. She would repay Shen Wei. She most definitely would.
Shen Wei turned around. Just like she had come earlier, her black silhouette slowly vanished from their sight.
What Shen Wei had said was true. If it wasn't for her, Xia Ruoxin might not have been who she was at this moment. It finally dawned on Xia Ruoxin that all this time, Shen Wei had been overly protective of her. If it wasn't for her, Xia Ruoxin might have lost herself in that kind of environment. She had not been ruined, not at all. However, she was still tainted. How could a woman maintain her innocence in that kind of environment?
”Rainy is tired. Let's put her in bed.” Gao Yi carried Rainy with one hand; his other hand reached out and pulled Xia Ruoxin's hand. He had not questioned her or said anything. Like Shen Wei had said earlier, he did not want to push her. If the day came when she wishes to tell him about herself, it would happen in due course.
”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin nodded and followed him back inside. Gao Yi put Rainy carefully on the bed, and he tucked her under the blanket. The child was extremely weak; thus, she got tired easily.
