Chapter 370 - Its Possible (2/2)

Daddy didn't dote on you for nothing, eh. Gao Yi thought, but his eyes were focused sharply on Rainy's red palm, his expression serious. He averted his eyes and focused on driving.

Rainy lied in Xia Ruoxin's arms, her tiny fingers clutching to her mother's clothes like the past.

They reached home. Gao Yi lifted Rainy from Xia Ruoxin and let her change her clothes. When Xia Ruoxin entered the room, he held Rainy in his arms.

He pulled her hand to him and took a look. Indeed, there were abrasions on her delicate white palms. It was a shocking sight. Her hands were small, and her skin was tender. Just a little wound was scary enough, much less say this. Her hands were almost swollen.

”How did you get hurt?”

Gao Yi tried his best to make his tone light to prevent scaring the child.

Rainy's hand twitched. ”I accidentally fell down.” Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, making Gao Yi's heart ache for her; but there was nothing he could do. ”Okay. Be careful next time.”

”Here, I'll apply some medicine.” Perhaps things weren't what the child said, but he didn't want to pry further anymore. He'd let Rainy do whatever she wanted. He wouldn't force Xia Ruoxin, and thus, he wouldn't make Ruoxin cry again. See, her eyes were so red. It would be a wonder if she didn't burst out crying if he pursued the matter further.

”Okay.” Rainy nodded. Gao Yi let her down on the sofa and took out some bandages and ointment. Even a small wound needed to be treated seriously.

Rainy wanted to retract her hands at times because it really hurt. She bit her tiny lip and waited for Gao Yi to finish applying the ointment and wrap her hands up.

”Done. Rainy is such a brave girl.” Gao Yi rubbed her head. Perhaps it was because of the illness she had, but she was more mature and resilient than most kids her age.

Rainy smiled at last and stretched her bandaged hand. It still hurt slightly, but it was much better now.

Gao Yi poked her forehead. ”Remember not to play in the water; if not, Daddy's going to give you a spanking.”

Rainy hurriedly covered her buttocks with her tiny hands at the mention of spanking. She didn't want to be spanked. It was painful.

Xia Ruoxin walked out, and Rainy jumped down from the sofa quickly and hugged Xia Ruoxin's legs. ”Mommy, Daddy is going to spank Rainy.” She tried to tell on Gao Yi while making a face at him, making Gao Yi smile helplessly.

”Why is Daddy going to hit you?” Xia Ruoxin lifted her daughter off the ground and saw Rainy's bandaged hand. Her eyebrows furrowed. What happened to her hand?

”Don't worry, it's fine. She just fell down. I've applied some medication. She can't play in the water in the next few days. If she does, we'll have to spank her.” Gao Yi stood up and went to change to a new set of clothes, too. His clothes were damp, and they felt uncomfortable.

Xia Ruoxin did not suspect anything and was set at ease. She took Rainy's hand and inspected it but couldn't tell how serious the injury was through the bandage.

However, looking at Gao Yi, she could tell that it wasn't that serious. He was a doctor, and he knew his job well.
