Chapter 373 - Injection (2/2)

He raised his head, his Adam's apple bobbing, and then he covered his face with his hands. His face was dark with little semblance of his past self.

”I'm sorry, Xia Ruoxin…” His lips moved as he said hoarsely. The words disappeared by his ears quickly. It was the apology he always wanted to say, but he was always reluctant to say.

He wanted to make up for all the wrongs he had done to her, but she might not need it anymore.

The night was silent, and the heart cold.

Xia Ruoxin sat up suddenly in her big bed. Her forehead was full of sweat. She reached a hand out to her forehead, feeling the dampness of her hair. Her fingers moved down, and she felt the stream of cold water on her face. She was crying. Why was she crying again? She lowered her hand and turned around to look at Rainy, who was lying beside her.

She was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes like hers. However, her nose was higher, and her eyes were a darker shade. Perhaps these were the only traits that resembled that man? She put a hand on her daughter's small face.

”Rainy, is this the right thing to do?” She rubbed her face gently against her daughter's. She should be hating the man, but she couldn't do it. Her heart clenched slightly. They were supposed to be happy, but why did things become this way?

”Rainy, let's forget him, okay? Because he is bad, and he made us suffer so much so we don't need him anymore.

”We will be fine together with your daddy Gao Yi…” Her voice broke.

She raised her head again and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She laid down and hugged Rainy in her arms.

The night was still silent.

…

In the hospital, in Gao Yi's office, Rainy's eyes were welling up with tears. Her lips pursed as she held her doll in her arms. A red dot appeared faintly on her arm.

”How was it? Daddy's injections don't hurt, do they?” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's soft hair. It was time for her to get vaccinated; otherwise, her immune system would be poor. He was a doctor himself so he couldn't possibly let other doctors do it for her.

Rainy shook her head. ”Daddy lied. It hurts.”

”It hurts now, but in the future, you won't get ill.” Xia Ruoxin said as she let Rainy sit on her lap. It was no wonder the child would cry. She had received two injections in a row. When she saw the needles piercing into her daughter's arm, she felt her arm hurting, too.

Gao Yi took out another syringe. It was already the third one.
