Chapter 554 - She Wasnt Grateful (2/2)
”You're right. It's my fault. That's why I was only doing what I was supposed to do.” Chu Lui leaned against Du Jingtang. The desolation and ruthlessness had long faded from his eyes. The him now—in front of her—was just a man who wanted to love but wasn't able to be loved. He was a very humble man. Little did she know that, sometimes, one word from her could either make his heart float in heaven or throw him into hell, similar to the influence he once had on her.
Xia Ruoxin turned around, refusing to look at the wound on his leg. She carried her daughter and ran away. ”Rainy, Mommy's bringing you home. Let's leave this scary place. Let's go home.”
”You should better get that wound checked; otherwise, you might just become crippled.” Gao Yi stopped for a moment. ”This is friendly advice: stop trying to use your injuries to garner pity. Otherwise, by the time you become crippled, it'll be too late for regret.” This man made him feel like he was a strong foe. A strong rival who could invade their relationship.
He hated this man, and yet at the same time, he admired him. However, it didn't mean that he was just going to give up Xia Ruoxin and Rainy. Chu Lui loved them, but so did he.
Gao Yi turned around and unintentionally blocked Xia Ruoxin's line of sight. Chu Lui's chapped lips lightly moved before his body suddenly swayed and fell onto Du Jingtang.
…
Drowsily, he opened his eyes; and a scene of white entered his vision. He already couldn't recall how long it had been since he last lay down like this. He always thought that work was very important. But now, he realized that, actually, if he could just sleep in like this for a few days, then he would really be considered a happy man.
He moved his legs, but a terrible pain shot up his body as he did. He gently closed his eyes; and when he reopened them, he was met with a pair of large eyes that looked like black gr.a.p.es.
He paused, thinking that he was in a dream for a moment. Was it really? He reached out his trembling hands, and his fingers gently touched that fleeting little angel.
It was real; she didn't disappear. Rainy, his daughter. She was looking at him; she was actually looking at him.
”Rainy…” After not saying anything for days, he found his voice extremely hoarse. If one didn't listen carefully, there was no way to comprehend what he was saying.
Rainy placed her two hands on the bed. She was only a little bit taller than the bed that Chu Lui was lying on, making standing tough on her.
”Legs are tired…” She pouted her dainty lips and kicked her little legs from time to time. Her two eyes kept staring at Chu Lui. Even Chu Jiang and Song Wan couldn't understand why their dear granddaughter was suddenly willing to come to the hospital to see Chu Lui. Was it because Chu Lui saved her life? That's why she no longer hated Chu Lui as much as she did before?
Despite that, they felt truly happy for their son. Although their son had gotten wounded, his injuries were worth it.
”Tired?” Chu Lui struggled to sit up. He ignored the pain in his legs and reached out his arms to pick Rainy up. Then, he carefully took off her shoes. He knew that Rainy was similar to him; she didn't like people touching her legs. However, thankfully, when he removed her shoes, Rainy didn't move at all.
He gently caressed his daughter's small face. He didn't know how long he had slept for, but by then, the injuries on his daughter's face had pretty much all healed. Therefore, he probably slept for two days because he was tired, because he was injured.
