Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 464 The Child was Sick Part 3

“What is it?” Xia Ruoxin closed her sketchbook and put it aside before asking Gao Yi. She could feel that something was on his mind. Gao Yi had never hidden anything from her. “Has something happen at home?”

“Everything is fine.” Gao Yi chuckled, and then he held Xia Ruoxin’s hand tightly. “I’m sorry I haven’t been around. It’s been hard on you for the past few days. You have to face everything alone.”

Xia Ruoxin sniffed. As she did that, tears began to gather at her bottom eyelids. It didn’t go unnoticed by Gao Yi. Only a handful of people had treated her kindly in this world. Among them, Gao Yi had treated her the best throughout her life. She felt guilty because she couldn’t help him, too.

“What nonsense are you thinking of?” Gao Yi reached out and tousled with her hair. “It was resolved. Things in my family are a bit complicated, which is why I have chosen not to tell you. It is unnecessary. Let me worry about those unnecessary things.”

“Okay, I understand.” Xia Ruoxin was still feeling upset, but she decided to do as Gao Yi said and not be overly concerned. Nevertheless, she made a silent promise to herself that in the future—when Gao Yi needed her help, she would drop everything and rush to his aid.

She owed this man too much. She would never be able to repay him in this lifetime if that’s what it took her.

“Open your mouth.” Gao Yi squatted in front of Rainy with a flashlight.

He got Rainy to open her mouth so he could check her throat.

“Ah.” Rainy opened her mouth obediently.

“Mmm. Very good.” Gao Yi finally stopped his fussing. There was no inflammation in her throat. It seemed that she was almost fully recovered. He would take a sample of her blood for testing later. If the results came back negative, then she would be discharged in the afternoon.

“Come, Daddy will bring you upstairs.”

Gao Yi put his things on the table. Then, he carried Rainy and took her for her blood test.

“Doctor Gao, you’ve brought your daughter for her blood test.” The doctors in the hospital greeted Gao Yi. He was the best surgeon in the whole hospital. He had graduated from the medical faculty of a foreign university and was a talent highly sought after by many renowned hospitals. On top of his qualification, he was good-looking, too. It was a pity that his daughter was already so old. The young and single ladies could only admire him from a distance.

“That’s right. Rainy had flu.” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy’s tiny head. “Whenever she falls sick, it is serious; and she has to take her injections for a few days.”

“You poor little thing.” A nurse pinched Rainy’s cheek with sympathy. “Our Little Beauty has fallen sick again. You must take better care of her.”

Rainy hid her face shyly in Gao Yi’s chest. Moreover, her father’s arms felt so warm, and he was very strong, too. She wasn’t worried about his arms aching.

“The little one is shy?” The nurse had the urge to pinch her cheeks again. Besides being obedient, this soft and chubby child looked so beautiful. Whichever family this child belonged to must be living in bliss.

Gao Yi simply held Rainy tighter in his arms. “Please don’t tease her. She quite timid.” As he finished, he smiled and nodded at the nurse before making his way to the examination room with Rainy in his arms.

“Are you scared?” Gao Yi held Rainy’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “We’re going to draw some blood. I, Daddy, promise you it won’t be painful.”

Rainy shook her head. “Daddy, I’m not afraid.” She placed her tiny hand bravely at the window.

The pretty young nurse pulled Rainy’s small and soft hand. She was reluctant to pierce the needle. What if the child cried in pain?

“Go ahead.” Gao Yi told the nurse. “If you don’t do it soon, she’s going to cry.”

As a result, Rainy merely stared at the nurse with big round eyes filled with a pair of black pupils. True enough, she didn’t cry. The nurse took a syringe. After hesitating for ages, she finally decided to pierce the needle into the child’s thin vein without a care for consequences.

In that split-second of pain, Rainy’s tiny mouth pouted. However, she really didn’t cry.

Gao Yi gripped her hand tightly. She sat on his lap while they waited for the results.

Then, a man came over and stood at a distance.

“Ah Lui...” A woman called out for him. Gao Yi felt uncomfortable instinctively. He looked down and met Rainy’s wide eyes. She bit on her finger and broke out into a smile.

“Mom, are you okay?” Chu Lui held the woman’s elbow and sat down with her.

“They just drew a bit of blood. It was nothing, but your father turned his face away when they were taking his blood. At his advanced age, I didn’t think he would be that timid.”

Meanwhile, Chu Jiang standing at one side was rolling up his sleeve leisurely to let the nurse draw his blood. However, he had not blinked his eyes. Not even once. He really wasn’t that timid after all. He just couldn’t bear to see his wife bleed. As for himself, he couldn’t care less.

It was time for their annual routine check-up. Usually, they would arrange for it to be done in a private hospital. However, Song Wan felt more at ease doing it here at a public hospital. It might be crowded, but a private hospital that offered better service didn’t give her a friendly environment. She preferred to come here where there was more human flow.

Chu Jiang completed his blood test and came over.

“Doctor Gao, your daughter’s results are out.” Coincidentally, the nurse called out for Gao Yi.

He carried Rainy, stood up, and proceeded to walk to the window to collect the results. Since the start, he was well aware that the other man had been watching his every move.

Gao Yi took the report and looked at it briefly. Hmm, it was satisfactory and normal. There was nothing wrong with Rainy so she could be discharged anytime.

“Come, let’s go home.” He carried Rainy as he turned around to leave. From behind him, the other man’s eyes were following him. They never wavered, left his back, or blinked.

Obviously, Gao Yi knew, and so did the man.

“Ah Lui, what are you looking at?” Song Wan followed her son’s line of vision. Somehow, she felt as though her son had just seen his nemesis.

“It’s nothing. I just saw someone familiar.” Gao Yi simply smiled as he rolled up his sleeve habitually. However, his expression was not friendly like he had just seen a friend.

So, it’s a friend. Not an enemy. Song Wan finally set her heart at ease. She was thinking of how it could be such a coincidence to have met an enemy when they were in a hospital.

Song Wan’s eyes were green with envy when she saw other people with kids. It was a pity that they would never get to have a grandchild in their lives. She was resigned to her fate, but at the same time, she was also reluctant to admit it.

Soon, the results for their check-up were out. Both she and Chu Jiang were relatively healthy. At their age, they needed to reduce their oil and salt intake. Their lifestyle should consist of more plain food and exercise. On top of that, keeping themselves happy was the best supplement in their daily lives.

For Mr. and Mrs. Chu, having a grandchild would be the best remedy for everything
