Xia Ruoxin took the clothes by the side and was prepared to go wash up. Leave this place to the father and daughter. Chu Lui would take good care of her daughter…… oh, who was also his daughter.

  She placed her hands in the water pot, and the water droplets that came out touched her fingers from time to time, making them feel a bit numb as she washed the clothes without emotions.

  At this time, a person came in. It was the Chu family’s nanny.

  “Ms. Xia, it’s you. What a coincidence.” The nanny naturally recognized Xia Ruoxin. From the first day that Xia Ruoxin married into the Chu family, she knew everything that had happened.

  “Hello,” Xia Ruoxin greeted back. Her elegant smile now looked distant.

  Nanny Jiang lowered her voice and asked carefully.

  “How’s Rainy?”


  “Mm, thanks. She’s doing quite okay so she can be discharged in a few days. She just needs to come back for regular checkups.”


  Xia Ruoxin still smiled lightly and replied gently.

  “That’s good.” Nanny Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to herself. “How did Rainy get well so fast? Chu Xiang’s recovery is so slow that it’s frustrating. Her wound still hurts now, but it shouldn’t hurt so bad anymore. Yet, she yells ‘pain’ every day; and once she does, Madam would agree to buy her everything.

  “That kid must be spoiled by Madam. Sigh, Rainy cannot be raised by Madam. If she becomes another Chu Xiang, it would be disastrous. She’s so spoiled that she had forgotten about her place.”


  As she said and grumbled, Nanny Jiang washed the clothes with more and more power.

  Xia Ruoxin smiled but did not say a word. This was Chu family’s business and did not have any relations with her. She did not plan to go back to the Chu family; neither did Rainy. Rainy’s custody was hers so as long as she did not agree, the Chu family had no right to snatch her Rainy away.

  She hung the clothes on the balcony. This was not a normal ward so there were not a lot of people around. There was a lot of space, and no one would fight with her for the string when she hung clothes.

  However, Nanny Jiang would come hang her clothes in a while, too.

  Chu Xiang was also in the VIP room but was a distance away from Rainy’s. They could then stay in their own lane, which was actually better because she did not need to be awkward if she saw Song Wan.

  She did not like Song Wan, and Song Wan very possibly disliked her, too.

  After she hung the clothes, she left without much to say. She opened the door, and the doctor was currently doing some checks for Rainy. A whole bunch of doctors was surrounding the kid, but she was comfortable as she played with her dolly. Perhaps she was used to staying in the hospital so she was not afraid of doctors or injections.

  However, after this hospital stay, she seemed to have grown up and did not like to smile anymore.

  Was she scarred by the pain?

  Doctor Jian pressed on Rainy’s wound, and instinctively, Xia Ruoxin stepped forward. He should not touch there; her daughter would hurt.

  However, Chu Lui reached out to stop her.

  “It’s okay; it’s just routine checks.”


  Even though he said that, no one knew that his hands were currently clenched really tightly in his pocket.

  “Does it hurt?” Doctor Jian asked Rainy while smiling. He loved talking to this girl, and her spoken English was not bad.

  “Nope.” Rainy held her stomach, and the other hand was holding the dolly as she laughed. She did not know what illness she had, and she really thought she had fallen down.

  “What about here?” Doctor Jian pressed again.

  “Nope.” Rainy shook her head once more.

  Doctor Jian came forward and pinched her cheeks. “Good, baby, you’re really brave. You can go home already.”


  Rainy smiled and her eyes became the shape of crescent moons. She rubbed her eyes, turned around, and sucked her finger. She actually fell asleep.

  Doctor Jian covered Rainy with the blanket and walked out. Then, he nodded at Chu Lui and Xia Ruoxin; and both of them followed him out.

  “You guys don’t need to worry.” Doctor Jian put his hand behind his back. “The child is already well. Don’t worry. However, you need to be careful from now on because she only has one kidney left. You need to make sure that she eats blander food from now on, and she should cut down on raw and cold food to take good care of her remaining kidney.”


  “I know.” Chu Lui stepped forward and extended his hand. “Thank you.”


  “You’re welcome.” Doctor Jian shook Chu Lui’s hand. “You’re Jing’s friend so you’re my friend, too. Also, the kid is really cute; I really like her.”


  Xia Ruoxin turned around, and there was a unique hospital smell in the air called hope. Hopefully, they did not need to come back again for the rest of their lives. Hopefully, it would be true.

  Doctor Jian returned to his home country that day as there was nothing for him to do here. Also, he had things to do at home so even when Chu Lui said he had to treat him to a meal, he did not stay. He sat on the midnight flight and left in a hurry.

  The other doctors could handle the remaining matters. Even though Doctor Jian said that Rainy could be discharged, Chu Lui was still worried so he decided to let his daughter stay for a few more days. Then, he found a few more relevant doctors and noted down all the things he had to know going forward.

  He hoped that his daughter could live for a very long time, even if she only had one kidney now.

  On the other end, Chu Xiang’s check up was almost done. However, Doctor Jian did not come; and it was someone else.

  “Where’s Doctor Jian?” Song Wan asked unhappily. “Which patient would change so many doctors in between?”


  “He has returned to his country.” The doctor stood up. Of course, he could feel Song Wan’s anger; but it was no use. Doctor Jian had already sat the midnight flight back to his country.

  “Returned to his country?” Song Wan was in disbelief. “How could he return? If he returned, what’s going to happen to my granddaughter?”


  “I can only say I’m sorry.” The doctor continued smiling. “As for the reason, you should ask Doctor Jian himself.” After he finished talking, he took the medical records and left.

  He left Song Wan with a darkened face.

  Without hesitation, she took the bag beside her and asked the nanny to take care of Chu Xiang as she left on her own, with an angry aura all around her.

  “I wonder who would be the unlucky one.” The nanny sighed as she lowered her head and covered Chu Xiang with the blanket. “You’re really lucky you could become the princess of the Chu family and that Madam likes you. She had even dug out her own granddaughter’s kidney for you.”
