Chapter 720: It Cannot Grow Back
“How well-behaved.” Xia Ruoxin pinched her daughter’s cheeks before feeding her. “When you eat well, you’ll get well real soon; and it won’t hurt anymore.
At that time, Chu Xiang was throwing a tantrum; she wanted her Grandpa and her father, and she was in pain.
Song Wan could not deal with her. Hence, she could only Chu Jiang.
“Chu Jiang, come quick. Do you all really not care about Xiang Xiang anymore? If that’s the case, then Xiang Xiang and I will move out.”
When Chu Jiang heard Song Wan’s threats and warnings, he threw his phone on the table and went to Chu Xiang’s ward.
His gaze was always on Chu Xiang’s abdomen area. He wanted to know if his granddaughter’s kidney was in good condition and if it was working. However, judging by Chu Xiang’s condition where she could drink and eat, the kidney must be working fine.
“What are you looking at?” Song Wan placed the bowl on the table. “You came in, looking so suspicious. Is there something in Xiang Xiang’s stomach?”
“Nothing,” Chu Jiang said lightly. “I just want to know if my granddaughter’s kidney is working.”
His sentence successfully shut Song Wan up. Once they mentioned this kidney—no matter how much grumbling Song Wan had, she could only keep quiet. It was not that she did not want to see Rainy, but she could not.
She knew that she had sinned, but she really did not mean it; it was unintentional.
Chu Jiang sat at the side and watched Song Wan feed Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang was very picky with food and refused to eat some things. Then, she was afraid of pain, and her wound had torn open a few times after that—even the doctor wanted to tie her down. She was nothing like his pitiful granddaughter who had gone through the knife for nothing.
No matter how painful it got, the child still endured and listened to her mother. If her mother told her not to move, she would not; if her mother told her to walk, she would. Even if she was crying, she would still listen to her mother.
Song Wan was getting uncomfortable from his stares so she threw a tantrum at him. “If you don’t want to stay, you can leave.”
Chu Jiang stood up and really went out.
“Where are you going?” Song Wan really wanted to throw the bowl in her hands at him.
Chu Jiang turned back. “I thought you wanted me to leave?”
“You’ll go when I ask you to?”
“You asked me to go; what should I do if I don’t?”
“Then, leave.” Song Wan pointed towards the outside. “Just leave. Leave.”
Chu Jiang took a step forward and walked out mercilessly. He wanted to go find her granddaughter. His granddaughter could smile and comfort people; she was really sweet, and it would be much better than staying here and getting scolded by the old woman.
Song Wan was angry until she cried out loud. Until now, she had no idea what she did wrong. Sometimes, humans were like that. They would dig a hole for themselves, and when they wanted to walk out of it, it would be too difficult.
Chu Xiang had also realized something so she did not dare make a commotion afterward.
She touched her stomach. Actually, she did not know much, but she knew that there was something of Mei Mei’s in her stomach. If so, was she not the same as Mei Mei? They had something similar in their stomach so she was her father’s child, too.
Very long later, she then realized that the thing was called a kidney. Everyone would only grow two kidneys their whole life, and her Granny had accidentally given her Mei Mei’s by mistake. It was also because of that kidney that she had managed to live. However, she had lost more than she could imagine.
…
When Chu Jiang reached Rainy’s ward, Du Jingtang was still playing with Rainy. It was hard to imagine how harmonious this old and young pair was; they could play dolly together, and Du Jingtang would change the dolly’s hairstyle and change her clothes. He really quite enjoyed their playtime, let alone Rainy.
“Does it look nice?” Du Jingtang showed the dolly he had dressed up to Rainy.
“Nice!” Rainy nodded. She wanted to smile, but she hurriedly kept it as her mother told her that she could not smile. If not, it would affect her stomach, and she would be in pain.
“Rainy.” Chu Jiang went forward and called his granddaughter.
Rainy extended her hands and wanted to let Grandpa hug her happily. However, how would Chu Jiang dare to do so? No one did. Her wound had not healed, and it was not something that could recover in a day or two. If she accidentally tore her wound, it would spell trouble.
Chu Jiang walked over and ruffled his granddaughter’s hair. “Rainy, sit properly. When you’re better, Grandpa will bring you to see a big fish, okay?”
“Okay.” Rainy agreed and kept her hands. She had her dolly to play with so she was not very bothered by her Grandpa not hugging her.
“Why are you here alone? Where’s your brother?”
Chu Jiang asked Du Jingtang.
“Oh, them?” Du Jingtang continued to brush the dolly’s hair and did not look up as he was still in a hair battle. “Cousin went to the office. He had accumulated quite a lot of work so he would come over once he’s done. As for Sister Ruoxin, she had some other stuff to handle; but she’ll be back soon. To them, nothing is more important than our little cutie,” he said as he extended his hand to touch Rainy’s small face. He smiled till his eyes disappeared, and his row of white teeth looked elated.
When Chu Jiang saw his granddaughter playing so happily, he was comforted. However, it was also because of her innocent and naive face that made his heart hurt even more. Why did this child reincarnate to their Chu family?
If it was not this illness, it was that misfortune. When would there be a break?
He sighed heavily and looked outside. The sky was gray, just like his heavy heart which would not clear up even after a long time.
…
“Auntie, where’s Rainy?”
Guo’er tugged on Xia Ruoxin’s sleeves and asked. She looked up, and her face that was as big as a palm was seen; this girl had lost one leg and could only sit in a wheelchair—even walking was a luxury to her.
Xia Ruoxin squatted down and arranged Guo’er’s hair. Her smile had a tinge of pain in it.
“Rainy is sick and needs medical help so she can’t come and play with Guo’er. Guo’er, you need to remember.” She walked forward and hugged Guo’er. “Not everything can grow out so in the future; no matter who wants something of Guo’er’s, you can’t give it. Okay?”
Guo’er shook her head as she did not understand. However, in no time, she nodded again.
“Auntie, it was like what the Granny said, right? She wanted to take something of Guo’er’s then give Brother a lot of money. The thing that Granny wanted to take couldn’t grow back?”
“Yes, it can’t grow back.” Once again, Xia Ruoxin was disappointed in Song Wan. How could she lie to a child, an innocent child? How could she have the heart to do so?
