Chapter 714 - Everyone is Human (2/2)

Luckily, there was Chu Lui. Luckily… there was Chu Lui.

He would take care of her daughter, right?

Right? She used all her might to open her eyes, but the remaining gaze was still on that small child.

Don’t be afraid, baby. Mommy is here. Mommy is here…

Chu Lui carried Xia Ruoxin and placed her on the other bed before pulling the blankets to cover her. He held her hand, and it was colder than Rainy’s. He had seen her shudder more than once as well.

Was she cold, or was she scared?

The two people in front of him now were the two that he loved the most, but he could not do anything to help. His daughter, his wife… Even though Chu Lui could call the shots in the business world, when faced with such a situation, he was still as helpless as ever.

He walked by his daughter’s side and held her hand in his palm.

“Baby, we’ll do this together, okay? You need to hang in there. When you’re better, Daddy promises you I’ll buy lots of dolls and good food for you. I’ll tell you many stories. If you don’t want to eat vegetables, then we won’t. If you want to eat ice cream, Daddy won’t stop you. I’ll buy sweets for you, too. I just beg of you; you need to survive.”

The man’s voice was choked with emotions. He used one hand to cover his face, and without anyone knowing, his face showed death and torture.

The child’s hand was very small, not even as big as his palm. At that time, the hand was gently clenched into a fist, cold as if without temperature just like her poor forehead.

This child was so weak until it looked like it could die with a touch, disappear with a pat.

Seconds and minutes passed, and yet both people inside and outside did not sleep the whole night. It was only until morning that Du Jingtang stood up and looked at his wristwatch. He still had to go to the office to arrange some matters and take over whatever Chu Lui had not finished.

There could not be no one here; same for the office. In the past—if someone wanted him to do more work, it was as though they were asking for his life. He would complain about everything and go to work grudgingly. However, this time, he did not say anything and took over all the work. He knew it was not easy to sit in the CEO’s position, and he also knew that he did not like it all. The top was lonely, and he was only a normal person. Perhaps only people like Chu Lui would get used to it and like it up there.

However, the man akin to God was perhaps really going to collapse now.

It turned out… Chu Lui was also human.

It turned out… Chu Lui was also someone with flesh and blood; someone who had limits. He really did not know. If he could use suffering to measure feelings, then he thought that he himself would not be able to endure all of this.

He calmed down and flipped the documents in front of him, one by one, page by page in deep thought.

At that time—in the hospital, Chu Xiang was already awake; and she kept crying for her Granny in pain.
