Chapter 486 - Discharged (1/2)

After that, the two of them make small talk. Du Jingtang talked about Rainy, but he treated her as Gao Yi's daughter and didn't make the connection with Xia Ruoxin.

”Right, Sister Ruoxin. I realized…” He carefully recalled all the scenes where he met Rainy. ”I realized Rainy's eyes really look like yours.”

Xia Ruoxin's fingers, which were resting on the table, clenched tightly, and then she shifted her gaze nonchalantly, her eyes landing on the transparent glass in the distance hazily.

”Shame that I don't have such luck to give birth to a child.”

Her self-deprecation made Du Jingtang's cheeks burn. He knew very well why Xia Ruoxin couldn't give birth to a child, but now, the culprit was suffering the same fate. He wondered if this was what they call karma.

The pot of tea reduced by more than half in an instant, but not out of awkwardness. They had run out of things to talk about so sitting there, there was no need to continue speaking.

Du Jingtang crossed his hands and leaned against the wall, gazing at Xia Ruoxin's retreating figure in the distance. He could only sigh.

He carried some fruits and placed them on the table. Then, he took an apple and started to peel it. However, halfway through peeling it, he zoned out; and with a crunch, he took a bite out of the apple. Then, he came back to his senses. He had just taken a bite out of the apple that he had peeled for the patient.

He whipped his head towards Chu Lui. A pair of venomous eyes met his, making Du Jingtang scared out of his wits.

”I'll peel another one, another one…” He fumbled through the bag, took out another apple, and started peeling.

Meanwhile, Chu Lui's eyes grew icier. Du Jingtang shuddered. This man could not be tampered with. His heart was heavy with worries, and if provoked, the person would be in the worst of luck.

”Brother, I met with sister-in-law, no, Sister Ruoxin for tea.”

He said suddenly, making Chu Lui's deep eyes focus.

”What did you guys talk about?”

”Nothing much.” Du Jingtang continued to peel the apple seriously and talked nonstop. ”Me and sister-in-law, no, Sister Ruoxin, we talked for a long time. Brother, she's doing very well now. She loves Mr. Gao's child a lot. Mr. Gao is a good man and will treat her well.”

”Really, he'll treat her well?” Chu Lui's tightly clenched fist relaxed gradually at last.

”Yea, Mr. Gao is a good match for her. She's a simple and innocent woman, and she doesn't desire much. She just wants to live simply.” Du Jingtang tried to spill his true feelings without harming Chu Lui.

He knew that his cousin had a matter in his heart that he couldn't get over, and it tormented him every second of the day. The only way he could get over this is to let it go.

Chu Lui's matter is called Xia Ruoxin.

He sighed internally. It wasn't meant to be so complicated, but with a strange combination of circ.u.mstances, things turned out this way—a foregone conclusion with no way of fixing.

Finally, Du Jingtang finished peeling the apple and put it in front of Chu Lui.

”Cousin, your apple.”

Chu Lui took the apple, but he didn't eat it. His grip loosened, and the apple rolled down the hospital bed.

”You ******!”
