Chapter 479 - Traffic Accident (2/2)

Rainy was sleeping when Gao Yi returned to his office. Xia Ruoxin caressed her head as her hand followed the flow of her hair. She gave Gao Yi a glass of lukewarm water that she had boiled in advanced the moment she saw him.

”Have a drink first. She waited for a long time before she gave in and fell asleep.”

Gao Yi accepted the glass and gulped half of the water.

”Let's go.” He removed his doctor's robe and changed into his coat. Then, he reached out and scooped Rainy into his arms. She was sleeping so soundly that a big movement like that hadn't woke her up.

He pulled his coat and wrapped Rainy tightly inside it as he was worried about her catching a cold.

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin took the scarf and secured it around her neck. Then, she followed Gao Yi out of the hospital. Even at this time, the hospital was still crowded with people. A man ran over in a hurry. His eyes widened as he saw Xia Ruoxin as though he had seen a ghost.

”Cousin… Cousin-in-law…”

”I-Is…” He pointed his finger inside, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Xia Ruoxin merely nodded her head gently to him and gave him a friendly smile. Among all the family members in the Chu family, Du Jingtang was the only person to give her a helping hand. Although Du Jingtang's last name wasn't Chu, he was still a part of that family. She had remembered the favor.

She didn't seem to have anything to do with the reason for him being here.

”I…” Du Jingtang was about to continue, but Xia Ruoxin had already left with Gao Yi.

Du Jingtang was really amazed to have met Xia Ruoxin at a place like this. It must be their fate. Oh, yes. Now was not the time to stay in a daze. He heard his cousin was involved in a traffic accident. He must see him. Gosh, was he alright? Du Jingtang didn't dare to break the news to his auntie and uncle because they might not take the shock. He came alone to assess the situation, and—at the same time—checked if his cousin was dead or alive, handicapped or paralyzed.

He ran into the ward and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Lui in one piece. There was nothing wrong with him. Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound. Otherwise, his auntie would cry herself to death.

”Hey, are you alright?” Du Jingtang pulled a chair and sat down. However, he became uneasy when he realized it was a shared ward. ”Let's change to another ward—a private one. There are too many people here. If they don't have it here, we can transfer to another hospital.”

”No need.” Chu Lui shot his suggestion down.

”No need?” Du Jingtang's voice rose by a pitch. As a result, numerous people turned and stared at him while they reprimanded him with their eyes.

It was as he had said earlier. This place was no good, and it wasn't up to their standard. The ward was so crowded that they couldn't even share a secret. Moreover, with so many people in here, the ward was full of all kinds of odor. He wondered if someone had gone to the restroom just now. It reeked of urine.

Du Jingtang covered his nose. He was getting nauseated from the odor. Besides, his cousin had always been very cautious since he was a young boy. How could he get himself involved in a traffic accident?

”Brother, what happened to you?” Du Jingtang pulled a sad face. Chu Lui's injury had its consequences. Put his company aside as Du Jingtang would be there to hold the fort down as the Deputy CEO. He was already working his ass off, but now, he had to put his whole being into managing the company's operations. It was going to be exhausting. The worse was his uncle and auntie. It would be earth-shattering for them once they found out about this.

”Mmm.” Chu Lui merely raised his eyes. ”I deserved it.”
