  However, Jia Xinbao was uncertain if he should tell Lu Jinrong about Lu Xiaohua’s condition. Forget it, it was already so late. He should do it tomorrow.

  Gao Yi sat on the chairs outside. He had taken care of the patient inside tirelessly without rest for the past few days and would only pop a quick one into his mouth when he got hungry. However, most of the time, he would not eat or drink. Not to mention Xia Ruoxin—even he had become much thinner than before.

  He obviously knew the person inside, and of course, Jia Xinbao would not ask what their relationship was. Whatever it was, he was a family doctor; and his job was to ensure the safety of the patient inside. That was it.

  Minutes and seconds had passed, and every second was an unknown danger to the patient inside. As for those people waiting outside, it was grueling. Until daylight—until the sun rose, a new day had begun.

  Xia Ruoxin finally moved from the intensive care unit to a normal ward.

  After finishing the tasks at hand, Lu Jinrong immediately rushed over.

  “How is it?” He walked over and held Xia Ruoxin’s hand. “Why is her face so pale? She had also become thinner.”


  Jia Xinbao held back the urge to roll his eyes.

  Lu Jinrong placed a hand on Xia Ruoxin’s forehead gently. How did she get herself in this mess?

  “Mr. Lu, let’s go out first.” Upon seeing Gao Yi come in with a few nurses behind him, he knew that he would be doing his routine checks; and it would be inconvenient for them to be there.

  Gao Yi’s gaze stopped on Lu Jinrong for one second before he walked in with a gloomy body. Lu Jinrong felt that there was something wrong somewhere, but he could not recall what it was. He could only leave with Jia Xinbao. The patient inside had to undergo checks again and again.

  The results of the tests finally allowed all of them to not worry. The results were good, and all that was left was a long-term recuperation. This time, Xia Ruoxin was not like the past. In the past, it was a small matter that she had broken her arms and legs; now, her stomach was cut open with stitches on her organs.

  Sometimes, Gao Yi wondered if this woman was given birth just to suffer. When she was young, she was alone and had no one to depend on. Now that she was older, she was suffering so much. Even her only daughter was not around anymore.

  Rainy……

  When he thought of that small child, he could not help but to cover his face. At that moment, no one saw the tears that came out from in between his fingers and were laden with sadness.

  Another day had passed, and Gao Yi was still standing by her, without daring to relax.

  “It hurts……” Suddenly, a small moan sounded like a light breeze, which had instantly blown away the gloom in his heart.

  Hurriedly, he rushed over and held Xia Ruoxin’s hand.

  “Ruoxin, Ruoxin……” He yelled Xia Ruoxin’s name.

  “It hurts……” Xia Ruoxin’s brows were knitted very tightly, and it was clear that she was in excruciating pain.

  “It hurts, Mommy…… it hurts……”


  “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Gao Yi extended his hand and gently patted her forehead to comfort her.

  “Ruoxin, don’t be scared. It won’t hurt anymore. It won’t be painful anymore. Go to sleep. It won’t hurt when you sleep.”


  “How is she?” Jia Xinbao hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. Gao Yi’s constant dismal face finally turned brighter.

  “She said that ‘it hurts’ just now.” Gao Yi suddenly smiled. She said that it hurt.

  “My god!” Jia Xinbao’s forehead directly knocked against the door. ‘It hurts!’ She said that ‘it hurts’! If it hurt, it meant that her consciousness was back; and she would wake up in no time. What was left was for her to rest. Finally, this person was saved.

  “I’m going to tell Young Master Rong.”


  Jia Xinbao hurriedly whipped out his phone and called Lu Jinrong’s private number. Originally, Lu Jinrong was in a meeting, but his phone had rung. Everyone else looked at each other and did not dare say a word.

  “Hold on.” Lu Jinrong stood up and was already outside.

  “Mm, she’s awake?”


  “No.” Jia Xinbao tried to put his words more simply. “She woke up for a while and said that it hurts. By night, she should be completely awake.”


  “I’ll go take a look at her.” Lu Jinrong could not sit around any longer. As for the people at the meeting, they could wait. Hurriedly, he got his secretary to arrange the rest. Just as he was about to leave, he found something very interesting to him.

  He took that business magazine, and on the cover, the headlines were about the marriage between the CEO of the Chu Enterprise and the missy of the Xia household. Of course, there was also some dirty past that people had to dig up about one of them being the ex-brother-in-law and the other as the ex-sister-in-law. Perhaps some people would also write a blood-shedding novel out of it. Throwing the business magazine away, Lu Jinrong’s expression became complicated.

  “Why? Chu Lui, did you just sell yourself?”


  However, he did not pity Chu Lui. Compared to what Xia Ruoxin suffered, this was not even a hundredth of it.

  At this point in the hospital, Xia Ruoxin’s lashes were moving slightly. Everywhere hurt. Everywhere was in pain. Finally, she opened her eyes; instinctively, when the light outside shone on her eyes, she actually did not know who she was and why she was there.

  Then, an excruciating pain came from her stomach which she could not bear.

  Lightly, she opened her mouth, and there was no sound for quite some time.

  “It’s okay, say it slowly. You’ll get better.” A pair of hands was placed on her forehead, and a man was smiling at her gently. One could see the exhaustion from below his eyes. He must have been very tired, but his smile was very reassuring.

  “Gao…… Gao Yi……”


  She muttered soundlessly, and her memories came back, little by little. She knew who she was and knew what happened to her. Of course, she knew the reason for her being there.

  “It’s me. Ruoxin, it’s me.” Gao Yi held her hands tightly. “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. You’ll be okay. It might hurt now, but everything will be okay after this.”


  “Thank you……” Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes, and a tear dropped from the corner of her eyes, sinking into her pillow. Actually, who wanted to die? Perhaps she should live as some people had not got their deserved retribution, and this would be very unfair.

  “How is she? Is she awake?” Lu Jinrong rushed over. Once he saw Gao Yi holding his sister’s hands, displeasure flashed across his eyes; but now was not the right time to talk about this.
