Chapter 462 - The Child was Sick (1/2)

She was breaking out in cold sweat. Gao Yi specifically told her it was best not to let Rainy catch a cold or fever due to her current condition.

She turned on the light. The child was sleeping on the bed. Her face was flushed, and her breaths felt hot. She was obviously not feeling well. There would be one or two coughs from time to time which caused her tiny eyebrows to frown.

”Rainy…” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter's face gently. It felt hot to her touch.

”Mommy…” Rainy heard her mother's voice. She opened her eyes in a daze. ”I'm so cold.”

”My good girl. It won't be cold soon.” Xia Ruoxin hurriedly helped her daughter put on more clothes and prepared to send the girl to a hospital. Rainy was not like any child. The thing that scared Xia Ruoxin the most was her daughter having a fever.

She was so anxious that she felt like crying. However, she fought to hold her tears back before they could fall from her eyes. She couldn't be a useless mother. Her daughter needed her care. If crying could resolve anything, she was willing to shed tears to fill a vault. Nevertheless, tears wouldn't help her.

She wrapped her daughter in a rug, carried her, and ran out.

It was the middle of the night. There were very few people around. On top of that, the dry autumn wind was blowing. It was so frigidly cold.

She held her child tightly in her arms. By now, Rainy was feeling disoriented from her high fever. Her hot and raspy breaths caused Xia Ruoxin to panic and worry even more.

Why hadn't they arrived at the hospital? It wasn't that far away. Although it was a cold night, she was breaking out in cold sweat because of her anxiety.

There was a screech.

A low-profile black sedan stopped in front of her. The car door opened, and a man emerged from within. He reached out and pulled her sleeve.

”What happened? It's the middle of the night. Why are you running?”

”Chu… Chu Lui…”

Xia Ruoxin parted her quivering lips. Small beads of cold sweat covered her forehead. The wind blew at her slender body as though it was going to blow her away.

Chu Lui lowered his head and saw the child in Xia Ruoxin's arms. She was wrapped tightly in a rug. Only her half of her small face was visible, but it was an unusual red.

The child was sick.

Chu Lui didn't say much. He opened his car door. ”Get in. I'll send you to the hospital.”

Xia Ruoxin hesitated, but she was carrying a disoriented child in her arms. In the end, she got into the car. Nothing mattered right now except for her daughter. She would even sit in a car full of murderers, not to mention Chu Lui. He also didn't mind running a few red lights in order to send the child to the hospital.

The car came to a stop. Chu Lui alighted first. He opened the door for Xia Ruoxin who alighted carrying the child wrapped tightly in a rug. Suddenly, she couldn't feel anything in her arms. Chu Lui had already taken the child over.

Xia Ruoxin could have carried Rainy herself. The child might be little, but she was wrapped in a rug which would be difficult and might take some effort for her to carry. It was different for Chu Lui. He carried the child single-handed as though Rainy weighed nothing.

When he took Rainy into his arms earlier, his heart ached; and he didn't know why.
