Chapter 632 - Losing Sanity (1/2)

The man inside the house continued hollering as if someone was going to cut his flesh out and tear his skin apart.

After Xia Ruoxin closed the door, she leaned her back against it and slowly slid down. Her whole body looked as if she just got fished out from the water. Her clothes were wet, and even her hair was clumped together in lumps and stuck to her face.

She held her shoulders tightly, and her weak body shivered from time to time.

She was afraid, petrified. She had never seen someone's drug addiction kick in and did not know it would become like that. What she heard from others and what she had looked up was way milder than Gao Yi's situation; his was too brutal, too unsightly.

What to do? She really could not take it; she could not take seeing him like that. Should she buy him some?

No, she shook her head. Anything was negotiable except for that. She could not do it; she could not give it to him. With all her might, she pinched the back of her hand till she felt the pain; but that pain could not be compared to the heartache she felt hearing that man roar in anguish.

Until the voice inside the room gradually became lower, she knew this wave was over. However, it was only the beginning. Not only was Gao Yi suffering the torment of his drug addiction, but so was she.

”Mommy, what happened to your face?” Rainy asked as she touched her mother's face.

”Nothing, I think I ate too much lately so I became fatter.” Xia Ruoxin laughed bitterly and carried her daughter to Madam Mei Fu's place to let her take care of Rainy for a few days. With the situation at home, it was better if Rainy was not there.

”Is everything okay back home?”

Madam Mei Fu carried Rainy and asked Xia Ruoxin worriedly. When she passed by just now, she heard a terrible voice from inside. What exactly was going on?

”It's fine.” Xia Ruoxin forced a smile, but this move hurt her face. She felt as if her teeth were being torn away from her mouth.

”There's someone sick at home so I need to take care of him. Please take care of this kid for me.” Xia Ruoxin ruffled her daughter's hair, and all she felt was exhaustion.

”Don't worry. Leave it to me.”

Madam Mei Fu patted her chest; both of her chest muscles were stunning.

”Sorry for the trouble.” Xia Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief; at least she could settle the small child. As for other things, they could slowly settle them. She strongly believed that there was nothing that could not be solved, and everything would be in the past.

Madam Mei Fu leaned in carefully to Xia Ruoxin's ear and said, ”I know, but what happened to the person in your house? I saw it. It's that tall and skinny friend of yours.”

Xia Ruoxin was nervous and did not know how to answer. She did not expect Madam Mei Fu to know, and she did not expect her to still remember Gao Yi.

”It's okay,” comforted Madam Mei Fu. ”I have many friends who had the same, um, disease.” She used disease instead of drugs, perhaps because she did not want Xia Ruoxin to feel upset.

”Don't give in and persist. No matter what, don't feed him those things. Those things would harm people and would kill him. If you want him to live, he needs to rid himself of the addiction. If you can't bear to watch, he would definitely die in the near future. Then, you can just prepare his coffin for him.

”Speaking about that, I know of a good burial place with nice scenery and affordable pricing. If he really passes on, remember to look for me.”

Xia Ruoxin looked up at the sky and felt as if a whole bunch of crows had flown past her.

Wu… wu…
