Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rainy blinked her eyes and hugged Xia Ruoxin tightly around her neck.
“Mommy, will it really only hurt a little?” She cowered in Xia Ruoxin’s arms because she would cry if it hurt.
“Yes, trust Mommy. I have never lied to you before. It will only hurt a little.” Xia Ruoxin touched her daughter’s hair as she felt her pain. She was also lying while tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She had told her daughter a lie. How could it just hurt a little? Even an adult could barely tolerate that kind of pain, moreover a three-year-old girl.
Xia Ruoxin put the child down from her arms and squatted on the floor. She tried her best to smile for her daughter, but the mere thought of Rainy going through that treatment rendered her incapable of smiling. She knew the kind of implications it would have on her.
Yet, she had to go through with it.
“Rainy, Mommy will be right outside. You only need to look up to see me.” She rested her hand on her daughter’s small face. It could barely fit in her hand. Why must a little girl like her go through such hardship?
Rainy held Dolly tightly in her arms as she sneaked a peek at the doctor beside her. Eyes reddened, she held Dolly up and put it into Xia Ruoxin’s arms.
“Mommy, help me hold onto Dolly. She will be scared.” Her childish voice accompanied by a face filled with grievance made Xia Ruoxin lowered her head as she allowed her own tears to land on Dolly’s face.
Dolly wasn’t scared. In truth, she was the one who was scared.
Poor child.
The doctor carried Rainy who was on the floor. She reached a small hand out and called meekly for her mother. She was really, really scared.
“Rainy...” Xia Ruoxin stepped forward as the door was closed, shutting her out.
“Rainy, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here. Mommy will stay right here to keep you company. Rainy...” she called her daughter’s name instinctively with her hands clawing at the closed door while the doll fell on the floor with a thud. The sound almost broke her fragile heart.
She slid slowly onto the floor and shivered as she sat beside the door. She picked Dolly up and clutched it tightly, hoping to give herself the strength to carry on and not have a breakdown.
She choked up in between her sobs, unable to cry out anymore. Her Rainy; her daughter.
Far away in a foreign country, Chu Lui’s brows suddenly wrinkled into a frown. His hand went to his chest, unable to understand the sudden pain which had occurred. It hurt so much that he broke into a cold sweat uncontrollably. It was a kind of spasming pain.
“Lui, what’s wrong?” Li Manni approached him in a hurry and rested her hand on his forehead. What was wrong with him? He was fine, but he just stood rooted, not moving.
“I’m fine.” Chu Lui pulled Li Manni’s hand away. His emotionless eyes revealed a hint of loss. He felt that something had left him, or he might not have had it before.
“Lui.” Li Manni raised her hand, which was by her side, and hugged tightly onto Chu Lui’s waist. “Lui, don’t leave me. I love you. I really do.” She buried her head into his chest. Why did she feel so unsettled ever since she saw that woman? Why was she afraid of losing him after knowing that woman had a daughter? She had been forcing herself. That woman was lying. Even if she had a child, it might not necessarily have belonged to Chu Lui. However, what if that was Chu Lui’s child? What if?
