Chapter 623 - Watched the Whole Process (1/2)

”What did you see?” Gao Yi asked dumbly and looked at the front the same way.

”I saw her inject you here when you were sleeping,” explained Xia Ruoxin as she pointed towards Gao Yi's arm.

”How did you see it? Where did you see it?” Gao Yi lowered his head and was still looking at the wound on his arm stupidly. However, he suddenly clenched his fist as if he was holding something back.

Xia Ruoxin continued to wrap the bandage and carried on saying, ”That day I saw you at the town, and Madam Mei Fu said you took drugs. I wanted to call you and ask what was going on. Other than the first time when Bai Luoyin picked up, the rest of the calls could not connect. I tried calling Auntie and Gao Xin, but I could not reach them as well so I wanted to find out myself what exactly was going on. Hence, I sneaked into the Bai family house when you all went for your church service and hid in the fireplace. Then, I saw…”

Gao Yi's face changed, and he displayed a look of embarrassment. They did something unspeakable. Even though Xia Ruoxin did not say much, but he remembered that he came home with Bai Luoyin that day… and to think she had to witness that whole process.

He wanted to dig a hole in the floor and hide himself; he had no face to see anyone.

”Gao Yi, what do you plan to do?” Xia Ruoxin seemed to not notice his embarrassment, and she herself did not want to dwell on the topic so she did not bring up what happened that night again. However, there seemed to be an extra awkwardness between them for some reason; but this was not the time to be awkward. They did not have the right to be as the most important thing was Gao Yi; he had a drug addiction.

”I'll be okay.” Gao Yi's body stiffened, and he held back his urge to arrange her hair. At this moment, her clothes were drenched; and her face was as pale as a sheet. It was evident that she had been standing there and waiting for a very long time. This woman was still as silly as before.

He had already treated her like this.

He brought her over, promised her, but—in the end—abandoned her like Chu Lui did. However, she did not hate him, and when he was in trouble, she risked her own safety to help him search for the truth and to tell him.

”Don't worry, I'll handle it.” He turned and gave the umbrella in his hand to Xia Ruoxin. ”Take it, she'll be out soon. Now is not the time to start a fight.”

Xia Ruoxin held the umbrella in her hands tightly and shivered coldly. His hand was still as warm and dry as before, but his entire body had slimmed by a ton. If it was not because they separated not too long ago—perhaps when she met him again, she would have forgotten how he originally looked like.

Gao Yi returned to the car. His lips that naturally curved upwards were now pulled really straight. Between the warm and peaceful brows, there was a lot of hatred. He touched his arm and turned back to see Xia Ruoxin not holding the umbrella but hiding in a corner of the wall. He could vaguely still see that her clothes were still dripping wet.

Not long after, Bai Luoyin came out. To Xia Ruoxin's expectations, she had changed her outfit, her shoes, and even her socks; of course, not forgetting her make-up that had been touched up.

”Sorry, I made you wait.” Bai Luoyin entered the car and kissed Gao Yi's face. However, she did not notice the hatred that flashed past in Gao Yi's eyes and the veins that popped out on his arm when he placed his hands on the steering wheel.

In the rain, the car drove further and further until it disappeared into the storm. Xia Ruoxin then held the umbrella and walked out.

She heaved a sigh of relief, perhaps it was because she was not burdened anymore.

She did not hold the umbrella as her clothes were already wet, and even if she had more umbrellas, she would still be wet when she reached home.

When she finally returned home, she was tired, thirsty, hungry, and cold.

Ahchoo!” She sneezed and rubbed her nose. She was slightly uncomfortable and felt dizzy. She was afraid that she would fall sick so she went to look for flu medicine after she changed out of her clothes, in hopes of surviving through this.

However, if she could not, she probably could not fetch her daughter.

She also knew what Gao Yi was going to do.

She opened her computer, and for some reason, that person's icon would always be lit. Every time she was online—no matter when, he would always be there.

”Ah-choo!” She sneezed again; she was not very comfortable.
