Novel Full Chapter 725 - They Were Home
Chapter 725: They Were Home
Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter back to the ward and placed her on the bed before covering her with the blanket. Then, she started packing the stuff; and she was almost ready to be discharged. Her physical injury was okay, but some injuries would last forever. No one could give her daughter another kidney… and even more take back the lost one.
Chu Lui opened the door and stood in front of her.
Apologies would be of no use so he did not say them.
Xia Ruoxin knew he was there, but her motion did not stop as she folded the clothes one by one.
“Chu Lui…” She called Chu Lui.
“Yes, I’m here.” Chu Lui stood up and waited. Just that their original warming relationship had once again dropped below zero and seemed as though it could never go back.
“I won’t forget how my daughter lost her kidney,” Xia Ruoxin said softly. “It’s not that I won’t go after it. It’s just that Rainy is still sick. Do you know? There was a moment that I really wanted to kill your mother.” When she said this, she smiled and felt as though her heart was cold. “But murder is illegal. My daughter had already lost her kidney so she can’t lose her mom, too. Hence, I hope that you can stay far away from Rainy and my life. We really don’t want anything to do with your Chu family anymore, lest we come upon more hurt.
“No matter if it’s you or your mom, you both spell trouble for me and my daughter. I don’t want to enter your Chu family, and neither does Rainy. I won’t go to your office anymore, and I’ll bring my daughter away from you. One kidney can cut all the blood ties between us and your Chu family, right?
“Chu Lui, I really don’t want to see you anymore.”
She lowered her head and her eyelashes hid an unbearable pain.
It was enough, really enough.
Chu Lui looked up and sniffed. He turned around to see Rainy sleeping sweetly, but there were obvious signs of tears on her face, even her beautiful eyelashes were slightly trembling now. She was really as fragile as a crystal; a simple touch could break her.
He powerlessly retracted his hand, turned around, and left. He closed the door to the ward, but he still stood outside with his back against the wall and let the cold wind infiltrate his body.
Yes, Xia Ruoxin was right. All her misfortunes—Rainy’s sadness—was because of him, because of the Chu family.
Perhaps he could only be lonely for the rest of his life.
Xia Ruoxin packed their stuff and walked over to sit on her daughter’s bed. She gently caressed her daughter’s face, and unknowingly, there were tears she held back for so long on her hand.
“Rainy, I’m sorry. Mommy can’t take revenge for you and take back your kidney. Sorry. Sorry…” She placed her daughter’s hand on her face, and at that moment, she cried until she could not make a sound.
The man’s face outside also darkened, and suddenly, he held his face and squatted on the floor.
Rainy… Daddy was useless and could not get back your kidney, but Daddy promised you if one day, you need a kidney, Daddy would give it to you. Daddy would give you both, okay?
…
“Mommy…” Rainy raised her head and called for Xia Ruoxin.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Xia Ruoxin squatted down and held her daughter’s face. Every time she saw her thin face, her heart would hurt. It was not easy to let her daughter grow the meat back on her face, and now, it was gone. No one knew how long it would take to get it back.
“Where’s Uncle?” Rainy looked around and could not find him. “Did Uncle not like Rainy anymore so he did not come pick me up?”
Xia Ruoxin’s hand trembled slightly as she did not know how to explain it to her daughter. Sometimes, habits were a scary thing like how Rainy was already used to that uncle—Gao Yi—not being her father; and she now remembered Chu Lui that Uncle.
She carefully hugged her daughter and carried her with one hand.
“Baby, Uncle is busy so he can’t fetch you. Can you go home with Mommy? When we’re home, Mommy will cook your favorite fish for you, okay?”
“Okay.” Rainy hugged her mother’s neck and buried her face in her neck. “Mommy, Rainy will walk on her own.” Just that as she said it, her eyelashes started drooping.
Xia Ruoxin ruffled her daughter’s hair. Her immune system was still weak so she would feel lethargic quite frequently.
She placed the bag on her hand onto her left arm, and then she carried her daughter and left the place.
At this time, Song Wan and Chu Xiang were waiting for people to fetch them outside. Chu Xiang’s face looked pretty good and was chubbier than last time, obviously being fed good food. Xia Ruoxin’s gaze lowered and landed on Chu Xiang’s stomach. Once she thought of Chu Xiang having Rainy’s kidney, she would have an unstoppable pain in her heart. She really wanted to get her daughter’s kidney back, but how could she? She could not dig the kidney out and place it back in her daughter. This was not clay that could be fixed when it was broken.
She placed her chin on her daughter’s head and walked past them. She had nothing more to do with the Chu family; neither did her daughter. As a result of that slap, Song Wan now looked at her and Rainy with resentment.
Yes, so what if they were blood-related? What was the use of blood relations? In the past, she wanted to get on her knees to beg her; but now, she did not want to take another look at her.
Sure enough, Song Wan held Chu Xiang’s hand; and when they walked past them, she did not take an extra look at them.
Xia Ruoxin smiled nonchalantly. She did not care.
She did not even want Chu Lui, let alone his mother.
Carrying Rainy, she raised her hand, hailed a private hire car, and walked in. She knew all along that a black car with sleek car design and an irreplicable car plate was following her.
She lowered her head and held Rainy tight. Her darkened eyes had blocked the light from coming in, and her world had seemed to have lost its color.
After she reached home and got off of the car, the driver was nice enough to take her things down and pass them to her.
“Thank you.” She smiled, and the driver smiled back before driving the car away.
Xia Ruoxin raised her head and walked towards her house while energizing herself.
“Rainy, we’re home.”
