Chapter 630 - To the Mental Hospital (2/2)

…

The sun outside scatter its rays on him and showed off the sharp bones on his face. He placed his hand on his face; he really looked like a ghost.

Knock, knock. He knocked on the door.

Not long later, the door opened. Rainy stuck her head out and paused for a while when she saw the person outside.

”Daddy…” She bit her finger and sniffed as if she was scared and also observing. However, the filial piety in her eyes never changed. No matter what had happened—in Rainy's heart, Gao Yi would always be her dad. Her first dad.

”Come over, precious, give Daddy a hug.”

Gao Yi squatted down and extended his hand towards Rainy. His blood was running in this child. This child was his, too—she always was.

”Daddy.” Rainy ran over and hugged Gao Yi's neck.

”Daddy, is it that you don't want Rainy anymore so you didn't come home?” She pouted her lips. She missed her father so much, but her mother said that her father had gone to a faraway place to make money and needed a very long time before he came back. However, she did not know what a very long time meant; to her, a very long time meant that her father did not want her anymore.

”Why would I? You see, I'm already back.” Gao Yi carried the child standing on the floor. It had been a long time since he had carried the child. With the small body in his arms, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth and heart.

He stood up. The child in his arms had become chubbier but was still as obedient as last time.

”Rainy, who is it outside?”

Upon seeing Rainy answering the door but not returning in a long time, Wei Lan asked. Then, Gao Yi carried Rainy and walked in.

”Mom…” he called.

'Peng!' Wei Lan dropped the bowl on the table. Luckily, the bowl was strong and did not break.

”Xiao Yi…”

Wei Lan walked forward and extended her shaky hands to caress her son's face. ”You're so skinny…”

”I will be back in shape soon. Very soon.” Gao Yi smiled at his mother and hugged the child in his arms tighter. That was right, he would be back in shape, real soon.

Xia Ruoxin came out of the kitchen, and once she saw Gao Yi, she finally dropped the stone in her heart. Was everything over?

”Ruoxin, I'm back.” Gao Yi smiled at Xia Ruoxin, but his smile was accompanied by a slight sigh.

He was back, but everything had changed.

”It's good that you're back. Let's eat.” Xia Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief before heading back into the kitchen and bringing out the rest of the food.

None of them brought up the Bai family incident; neither did they talk about Bai Zhenfeng or Bai Luoyin. This meal was perhaps the best meal and the happiest one they had lately.

Xia Ruoxin helped Gao Yi tidied up a room. She changed everything inside the room to Gao Yi's favorite color. There was also a vase of roses by the bed, which gave off a slight fragrance. Hopefully, this fragrance could let Gao Yi have a good night's sleep.
