Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 633 Incoherent Speaking

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine.” Gao Yi patted Wei Lan’s shoulders and got off the bed himself. However, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.

He touched the back of his head and found a bruise.

Where did this come from? He had no memory of it.

“Mom, why do I have a big bruise at the back of my head?” He asked Wei Lan ignorantly. Where did this come from? Why did he have such a big bruise? He touched it slightly, and it hurt so much.

Wei Lan was awkward and did not know what to say.

“Um, your mother hit you with the lamp.”

Okay, Gao Yi did not ask further. First, he went to the washroom and found his reflection in the mirror... truly unacceptable. He was a doctor, a doctor that saved lives; but somehow, he got himself into this hot mess. Even though he never intended to, but he still felt ashamed about it.

He turned on the tap and used water to wash his face. However, even the slightest movement would cause a jarring pain at the back of his head.

She had really hit him too harshly. He touched the back of his head again and thought she was not even afraid that it would make him dumb.

When he came out, Xia Ruoxin was just nice done cooking and serving up the food plate by plate. However, he felt something was amiss.

In just a few days, how could she become this chubby? Her original perfect goose egg like face became a giant cookie.

“Ruoxin, you’ve grown fatter?”

He furrowed his eyebrows as he did not understand how a woman could become this fat in a day, or maybe it was because he had slept for too long until a few years had passed.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and looked at him before pointing at her face.

“I didn’t become fatter. I got hit.”

Gao Yi stepped forward in big steps and examined Xia Ruoxin’s face. Who hit her? He was furious; how could someone hit her face until that state?

Xia Ruoxin stretched her finger out and pointed at him.

“This person hit me.”

Gao Yi was stunned. His memory somehow did have a similar scene: he had hit someone and slapped a woman twice, but he did remember quite vividly that the woman was Bai Luoyin.

Unless...

He clenched his fist twice, walked forward, and held Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders. In one swoop, he pulled Xia Ruoxin’s collar, and just like what he had suspected, there was an obvious line of blue-black on Xia Ruoxin’s neck.

“Sorry...” He moved his hands away, shivering, and then held his head tightly.

Xia Ruoxin squatted down beside him and placed her hand on his shoulders.

“I’m okay, I know you didn’t mean it. You just lost it for a while and didn’t recognize me. Let’s work hard together and kick this addiction, okay?”.

Gao Yi never felt as cowardly and useless as he did today. He hated himself and blamed himself for being so useless. It was only drug addiction, but it made him unlike a human or a ghost. He turned into someone who Xia Ruoxin could not even recognize; he had even almost strangled her.

“Come on, let’s go eat.”

Xia Ruoxin extended her hand to Gao Yi and smiled at him. The smile was just like before, before she had been hurt. It was like him back then, who had extended his hand to her who had no one to depend on.

This time, the one saved and redeemed was him instead.

He stretched his hand and held Xia Ruoxin’s tightly as if he was holding on to the last straw that could save him. He could not let go and did not dare to.

The whole table of dishes was all his favorite, and there was also his favorite fish.

“Where’s Rainy?” asked Gao Yi. The child loved to eat this fish, too. Now that the fish was here, where was the child?

“She went over to Madam Mei Fu’s to sleep for a few days.” Xia Ruoxin picked a piece and put it in Gao Yi’s bowl. “When you’re better, I’ll bring her back.” She did not lie to Gao Yi because she knew he would understand.

She picked up her chopsticks and started to eat. The atmosphere was slightly cold, but it was not because they did not want to talk. It was because they did not know what else to say. This meal, he must say was the most delicious meal and the fullest he had ever been in the past few months.

Before the drug addiction kicked in, he was a normal person. However, once it started, he was inhumane.

Suddenly, he felt as though something had drilled into his brain, and his skin felt like thousands and thousands of insects were biting it.

“Tie me up.” His face contorted and walked into his bedroom haphazardly.

Wei Lan took the rope and tied her son tightly, but as she tied him, she cried. She had to tie it tight, tie it firm... even if it meant hurting her son.

This was the first time Wei Lan and Xia Ruoxin had seen the entire process of Gao Yi’s drug addiction kicking in. Initially, Gao Yi had some of his senses and was breathing increasingly heavier. At first, he could still tolerate the feeling of something drilling into his bones; but those small insects seemed to be biting his bones, leaving him numb and itchy. He had to scratch it.

Not long after, his eyes became blood red and bloodshot. Bai Luoyin was a pharmacist so the drug she had given Gao Yi was not the normal kind. Naturally, when his drug addiction kicked in, it would be way worse than normal drug addicts and much more intolerable. She wanted to use this way to control Gao Yi, but in the end, she sent herself to jail.

“Ruoxin...” The veins on Gao Yi’s neck started to pop up, and his entire body was contorted.

“Please, give me...”

He struggled from time to time, and the rope caused the veins to pop out in his arms, but he could not feel any pain.

“Ruoxin, please. I’m begging you.”

He repeatedly begged Xia Ruoxin, and Xia Ruoxin had never seen such a condescending side of Gao Yi’s. He was gentlemanly with immense dignity, but the him now was just like a dog, wagging his tail to look for sympathy. Even if he had to kneel, he would do so without hesitation.

“Mom, I’m begging you...” Gao Yi started hitting his head against the bed pole. Every hit came a loud banging sound. He really wanted to hang in there, but he could not.

“Mom, please...” His voice became louder and louder.

Wei Lan shook her head. No, she could not, she must not.

“Go away! You’re not my mom, you’re not...”

Suddenly, Gao Yi hollered at Wei Lan. Wei Lan was shocked and backed a few steps. She was not angry; she was not furious. She was just sad, very sad. How did her son become like this? He did not do anything harmful to the world. Why, why must he suffer this type of pain?

“Auntie, I think you should go out first.” Xia Ruoxin pushed Wei Lan outside. It was better if she did not see this as the Gao Yi now was different from the past. He had completely lost his sanity and did not recognize anyone.

Wei Lan cried while shaking her head, but alas, she still could not take it and ran out.
