Chapter 909 - Revenge (1/2)
Xia Ruoxin took out her phone and called Lu Jinrong. “Brother, I need your help with something.”
Not long later, she put her phone back in her pocket and walked over like she had nothing to do. Then, she leaned her head against the glass; and her white skin seemed to be even whiter lately. Perhaps it was because she did not go under the sun.
She extended her fingers and gently held her chin.
Her red lips curved up meaningfully.
At night, Xia Yixuan asked her driver to park nearby; and she went to take the medicine from the doctor. How stupid… he could not even do this simple task and took her money for nothing.
A while later, she grumbled as she walked while holding something in her hands.
With much satisfaction, she held the thing in her arms tightly. This would be enough for that stupid old lady to continue sleeping. In the end—before she even took a few more steps, she felt a pain at the back of her head. Before she could even internalize what happened, she had already fainted.
…
Xia Ruoxin opened that small bag and took out a bottle of medicine. It was a tiny glass bottle. She heard that just one bottle would guarantee a good sleep. Perhaps she should try it too…
This medicine could be injected but could also be taken internally. She poured herself a cup of water and opened the medicine bottle to pour the contents into her mouth.
Very quickly, sleepiness overcame her. While she still had some consciousness, she walked to the bed, took off her clothes and shoes, pulled up the blanket, and slept.
When she opened her eyes once again, a long time had already passed. She did not know where she was and did not know how old she was. Was she herself when she was three or four and first arrived at the Xia household? Was she herself at twenty when she just got married to Chu Lui and gave birth to Rainy? Or was she her current self that was going to be twenty-six soon.
“What’s the matter? Are you okay?” Jia Xinbao squeezed out some air from the needle in his hands and injected it into her arms.
Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on her forehead. “I don’t feel too well.
“How long have I slept for?” Her hoarse voice sounded as if it was going to be voiceless soon.
“One day and one night.” After Jia Xinbao injected her with the needle, he pressed her arm. The skin was so white, just like premium white porcelain; and he almost could not bear to jab it.
“How much did you drink?”
Jia Xinbao pointed at the bottle inside the rubbish bin that had not been cleared yet.
“Not much.” Xia Ruoxin rubbed her eyebrows. “One bottle.”
“One bottle?”
Jia Xinbao almost screamed. Xia Ruoxin looked at him lightly. “Can you lower down your volume? Do you want everyone to know that I used some drugs?”
“What do you mean ‘used some drugs’? It sounds so awful.” Jia Xinbao kept the needle and grunted. “This is only a sleeping pill, but no one would eat it like this. Did you even ask me when you ate it? You didn’t, and you’ve just eaten it daringly. One bottle is usually used for three days, but you’ve actually drunk a whole bottle in one shot. It’s good that you didn’t sleep for three days and three nights, but you would have some side effects. I’m afraid you might have to sleep another day so you should eat more food and not starve to death.”
He always disliked this kind of people who did not care for their bodies.
So many people spent so much effort just to live on, and they were fighting every single day. However, there were those who would torture their healthy bodies. As a doctor, he seriously despised this kind of behavior.
Xia Ruoxin pulled the blanket up. Actually, it would be pretty good like that. She fluffed up her pillow. I have not tried sleeping without a care in the world in a long time…
Yes, when did she start not sleeping well? Was it after Rainy was gone, or was it at some other time? She had already forgotten.
She closed her eyes and was about to sleep. Jia Xinbao knew that the medicine had taken effect so he kept his stuff and closed the door behind him.
