Chapter 464 - The Child was Sick Part 3 (1/2)

”What is it?” Xia Ruoxin closed her sketchbook and put it aside before asking Gao Yi. She could feel that something was on his mind. Gao Yi had never hidden anything from her. ”Has something happen at home?”

”Everything is fine.” Gao Yi chuckled, and then he held Xia Ruoxin's hand tightly. ”I'm sorry I haven't been around. It's been hard on you for the past few days. You have to face everything alone.”

Xia Ruoxin sniffed. As she did that, tears began to gather at her bottom eyelids. It didn't go unnoticed by Gao Yi. Only a handful of people had treated her kindly in this world. Among them, Gao Yi had treated her the best throughout her life. She felt guilty because she couldn't help him, too.

”What nonsense are you thinking of?” Gao Yi reached out and tousled with her hair. ”It was resolved. Things in my family are a bit complicated, which is why I have chosen not to tell you. It is unnecessary. Let me worry about those unnecessary things.”

”Okay, I understand.” Xia Ruoxin was still feeling upset, but she decided to do as Gao Yi said and not be overly concerned. Nevertheless, she made a silent promise to herself that in the future—when Gao Yi needed her help, she would drop everything and rush to his aid.

She owed this man too much. She would never be able to repay him in this lifetime if that's what it took her.

…

”Open your mouth.” Gao Yi squatted in front of Rainy with a flashlight.

He got Rainy to open her mouth so he could check her throat.

”Ah.” Rainy opened her mouth obediently.

”Mmm. Very good.” Gao Yi finally stopped his fussing. There was no inflammation in her throat. It seemed that she was almost fully recovered. He would take a sample of her blood for testing later. If the results came back negative, then she would be discharged in the afternoon.

”Come, Daddy will bring you upstairs.”

Gao Yi put his things on the table. Then, he carried Rainy and took her for her blood test.

”Doctor Gao, you've brought your daughter for her blood test.” The doctors in the hospital greeted Gao Yi. He was the best surgeon in the whole hospital. He had graduated from the medical faculty of a foreign university and was a talent highly sought after by many renowned hospitals. On top of his qualification, he was good-looking, too. It was a pity that his daughter was already so old. The young and single ladies could only admire him from a distance.

”That's right. Rainy had flu.” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's tiny head. ”Whenever she falls sick, it is serious; and she has to take her injections for a few days.”

”You poor little thing.” A nurse pinched Rainy's cheek with sympathy. ”Our Little Beauty has fallen sick again. You must take better care of her.”

Rainy hid her face shyly in Gao Yi's chest. Moreover, her father's arms felt so warm, and he was very strong, too. She wasn't worried about his arms aching.

”The little one is shy?” The nurse had the urge to pinch her cheeks again. Besides being obedient, this soft and chubby child looked so beautiful. Whichever family this child belonged to must be living in bliss.

Gao Yi simply held Rainy tighter in his arms. ”Please don't tease her. She quite timid.” As he finished, he smiled and nodded at the nurse before making his way to the examination room with Rainy in his arms.

”Are you scared?” Gao Yi held Rainy's hand and gave it a squeeze. ”We're going to draw some blood. I, Daddy, promise you it won't be painful.”

Rainy shook her head. ”Daddy, I'm not afraid.” She placed her tiny hand bravely at the window.

The pretty young nurse pulled Rainy's small and soft hand. She was reluctant to pierce the needle. What if the child cried in pain?
