Chapter 714 - Everyone is Human (1/2)

After a while, Su Yunfei and the nanny brought a whole bag of items over. Inside the hospital, there could never be a relaxing atmosphere especially at a time like this.

Su Yunfei did not ask much and only put down the dishes she brought to let everyone eat. The child was already like that. If the adults collapsed, too, what was going to happen to the child?

Chu Lui took a bowl over and picked up some food before standing up and going to the ward. Su Yunfei wanted to look at the child, but Du Jingtang shook his head at her. She knew it would be better if it was quiet.

She would know about her condition sooner or later. She did not need to harp on this and add salt to the whole family’s wound.

Chu Lui opened the door, and inside, Xia Ruoxin kept holding onto her daughter’s cold hands. She had kept this posture for almost a day. It was as though she was numbed without feelings staring dumbly at her daughter’s face. She did not speak or cry and did not know what hunger was.

Chu Lui walked over and placed his hand on her shoulders. He gently pressed down and passed her the chopsticks.

Xia Ruoxin’s eyes had a bit of light, no longer as empty as before.

She shook her head. “I have no appetite.”

“Eat a little.” Chu Lui brought the bowl in front of her. “Ruoxin, you need to eat. If you don’t, your body will be weak; then how can you take care of Rainy?” Xia Ruoxin’s almost colorless lip moved a little. She then picked up the chopsticks with her right hand, and it shuddered. Piak! The chopsticks fell on the floor. She could not even do simple movements like this.

Chu Lui bent down and picked up the chopsticks from the floor. He wiped it before placing them back in her hand.

Xia Ruoxin held the chopsticks tightly in her hands before taking the bowl. Just like that, she shoved the food into her mouth. Tick… tick… her tears streamed down her chin and into the bowl, drop by drop. She used her hand to wipe her tears and picked the bowl up. She completely could not taste the food and just shoved the food into her mouth like a systematic robot.

Mouth by mouth, she forced more food down her throat. However, after just a few mouthfuls, she held her mouth. Her stomach was originally empty, and the rice she just ate came back up her throat.

No, she had to eat; she must swallow it. She could not collapse. She still had Rainy. Forcefully, she swallowed that mouth of rice; and the food that she almost retched out down her fiery throat. It hurt her.

Mouth by mouth, she ate. However, when she finished the bowl, she still could not taste anything at all.

The doctor came in again and checked on Rainy’s condition before heaving a sigh of relief. Luckily, everything was normal; and the child did not have a fever. Actually, this was the hardest part to get through, and the good thing was that the child was still in a coma so she could not feel much pain.

“Ms. Xia, let’s do a check for you.”

The doctor said as he walked to Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin raised her empty eyes. She was not sick, and yet the doctor took out a needle. She moved her lips, but before she could react, the needle was already injected into her arm. Actually, she knew what it was.

However, she did not stop them. She could not sleep. Once she closed her eyes, she would see Rainy in a terrible state; but she knew that she could not not-sleep. If she collapsed, what would happen to Rainy?
