Chapter 478 - Banging Stomach (2/2)
Coincidentally, Gao Yi had just finished seeing a patient. He raised his arm and checked the time. One more hour to go, and he could leave for the day. Looked like they would have to wait for him.
”Daddy…” Little Beauty was already pushing the door open. She ran in and hugged Gao Yi's legs. What a soft and cuddly child. This was the age where they were the most adorable when they could talk and answer back. Gao Yi carried Rainy. ”What are you doing here?”
”I miss Daddy.” Rainy nuzzled adoringly against Gao Yi's neck. She was really close to him.
Gao Yi pinched her cheek and set her down on a chair at the side while he listened to her continuous chatter.
Xia Ruoxin placed the cake box on the table which she had bought after Rainy finished her cake. ”You must be hungry. Eat this first.”
Gao Yi wasn't a big fan of desserts. However, Xia Ruoxin was the one to buy it so he must be appreciative. He opened the packaging and was going to give Rainy the first bite.
Rainy quickly circled her arms around her tummy. ”Daddy, I have eaten. If I eat some more, my tummy will bang-bang.”
”Bang, bang?”
Gao Yi stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. What bang, bang?
”It means bang… bang…”
Rainy moved her lips and repeated the two words frequently.
Gao Yi frowned. He reached out and placed his palm against Rainy's full forehead. ”What is wrong with her?” he asked Xia Ruoxin, puzzled.
Xia Ruoxin rubbed her eyebrows. It seemed she had scared her child. ”It was nothing.” She poked her daughter's cheek. ”She has already had a slice of cake earlier. I told her that if she was to eat more, her tummy would explode. Perhaps, she thought of the sound of firecrackers and how it exploded.”
”Bang…”
Rainy's little mouth echoed that one word with style. Naturally, her hands were still circled around her tummy. She was terrified it would explode.
Gao Yi was caught between laughter and tears. He took another mouth of the cake and allowed its heart-warming sweetness spread throughout his body. Xia Ruoxin took out a cup from the cabinet, fetched some water intending to give it to Rainy. However, her daughter kept chewing on her fingers. Truth be told, she really wanted to eat another slice of cake, but she was terrified of her tummy exploding. Thus, she had to endure. Gao Yi didn't attempt to feed her another mouth again. She had grown some new teeth recently, and it would be best to cut down on the sweet stuff. Otherwise, she might have a toothache.
”Doctor Gao, there are two patients outside, from a car accident.” A nurse ran in anxiously. ”Can you please go to the Emergency Room immediately? The doctor on duty happened to be away.” Gao Yi put his fork aside and set Rainy down from his lap. It was unlikely he would be able to finish on time.
”It's fine. We'll be waiting right here since we have nothing much to do.” Xia Ruoxin took her daughter from Gao Yi.
”Thank you so much.” Gao Yi ran his hands on Xia Ruoxin's hair to tidy it. It was short, touching her ears. He was originally feeling a bit frustrated, but after looking at the big and small faces which closely resembled each other, he was beginning to feel calmer.
