Chapter 811 - She Did Not Want to Eat (2/2)
“I was still thinking when you were going to deliver my food. Luckily, there’s still something for me. I was still afraid that the Bai person would finish all our food, and then I can only eat packet food.”
Gao Yi passed him a pair of chopsticks. He warned him, “Eat your food and don’t talk.”
“I know.” Gao Xin took the chopsticks over and sat by the side to eat.
Gao Yi took the other thermal lunch box over. This was the soup that Wei Lan had boiled for a long time. Now, Xia Ruoxin’s stomach was still very weak so she could only eat this easily digestible food. No one knew when she would finally recover.
Actually, he knew clearly that the physical injuries on Xia Ruoxin had already covered almost fully. The wound that had not healed was the one in her heart.
He opened the lunch box and took out the bowl of hot fish soup inside. The fish soup was already a cream-white color; one could tell that the soup was boiled for a long time.
“Ruoxin, come. Drink some soup.”
Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes and shook her head. Her thin fingers were still clutching onto the blanket tightly.
“I don’t want to drink it.” When she finished saying, she closed her eyes. She rejected all the food, and she did not want to drink. She did not know what Rainy was doing when she was drinking all of these. Was she suffering?
So she did not want to drink, not even a single mouth.
“Your Auntie boiled this for a long time.” Gao Yi placed it by her mouth and blew it before placing it in front of her. “She made this especially for you. You can’t not-eat for the rest of your life.
“You just got your life back; do you really want to die again?”
Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes and did not want to speak.
“Ruoxin, you can recover earlier if you finish the soup. When you’re better, you can then look for Rainy. Don’t you want to look for her? Do you want her to lose her mother and for you to lose your daughter?”
Gao Yi said as he picked up the bowl and used the spoon to stir it from time to time. The fish soup had a special fresh taste, and there were quite a few herbs in it. The herbs did not only remove the fishy taste and could also aid her body. For patients, this was the best tonic.
Xia Ruoxin knew all of this, but she could not energize herself or convince herself. She simply had no appetite.
She could not drink it.
Gao Yi could only place the bowl on the table before walking over and patting Gao Xin’s shoulders. “Let’s go.”
“Oh, okay.” Gao Xin packed his unfinished food in a hurry, hugged the lunch box, and walked out.
He did not understand why he could not eat inside and wanted to ask why. In the end, he saw Gao Yi standing in front of the ward and looking in from the window.
As for himself, he directly sat on the resting chairs outside and gobbled down his unfinished food.
