Chapter 474 - If Only He Had Known (1/2)

”Don't worry. It's just a body check-up. There won't be any injections,” Xia Ruoxin assured her daughter. Rainy had a bias against hospitals and didn't like to enter. She didn't cry, but ultimately, she was still fearful.

”Really?” Rainy raised her head. She sniffled and asked her mother, ”No injections.”

”Yes, no injections.” Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughter's cheeks tenderly, her heart going out for her daughter. She might have to do these check-ups a couple of times every month. Even though she needed to draw some blood, they couldn't be sure about her health if not for the check-up, after all.

Gao Yi lifted Rainy into her arms and carried the little clumsy bear to the hospital. Her rare visit made everyone crowd around her, handing her sweets and toys. In just a few moments, Rainy's bag was filled to the brim with all sorts of candies and other things.

Gao Yi carried Rainy to the check-up room. Rainy was especially silent.

”Baby, we're going to prick the fingers a little,” Gao Yi met Rainy's huge eyes, almost as black as dark gr.a.p.es, and discussed with her. ”It's just a small sting. No injections.”

”Okay, Daddy. I know.” Rainy reached her hand out. Her childish fingers were thin and weak. Gao Yi pulled Rainy's hand towards the window.

The nurse skillfully pricked the soft, almost translucent, finger gently. A drop of blood pooled, and after a few syringes of blood were drawn, Gao Yi held Rainy's fingers tightly. Rainy's eyes were big and wide, but she never made a sound of crying. The rims of her eyes were red, though. Beside them, children the same age as Rainy—who were waiting for their turn at the check-up—were already crying and shrieking hysterically. They haven't even been touched, but they were acting like someone was cutting their flesh and drinking their blood.

”Oh, isn't this Rainy?” Someone said in surprise, making Rainy look up. When she saw the person, she smiled.

”Hello, Granny.”

”Hi, Rainy.”

Song Wan felt like it was such a coincidence, but what was the child doing in the hospital again? Did she fall sick? She started to worry about Rainy.

”Is the child sick?” She asked Gao Yi cautiously. He must be the child's father. He looked familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She was getting older, and her memory was failing her.

”No.” Gao Yi pressed Rainy's face against himself. ”Just a regular check-up.”

So that's what was happening. Song Wan was relieved. She didn't know why, but she liked Rainy a lot. A few times, she dreamt of her calling herself Granny; but it was such a shame that she didn't have the fortune for that. If possible, a granddaughter would be nice.

”Mom.” Chu Lui strode over. At the sight of Gao Yi, his eyes darkened.

Gao Yi carried Rainy. She turned her head away and pressed her face against Gao Yi's shoulders. Gao Yi stopped in his tracks.

This child.

He carried Rainy away and didn't stop even when he passed by Chu Lui. Chu Lui pursed his lips, feeling heavy in his shoulders.

When love rivals would meet, their eyes become ablaze with anger. Yet, was Chu Lui worthy enough to be Gao Yi's rival? His actions and behavior in the past were heinous. If he could gain forgiveness, then the words 'It's okay' would really be too easy.
