“Family of three?”The woman placed her hand on her arm and could feel the pain from before; but now, it was even more jarring. “How can there be a family of three? My daughter is gone.”
She turned around, and in the room full of light, she looked even paler.
Yes, she was alive. She was Xia Ruoxin. She could not deny that their lives might just be like what Shen Wei said: their lives were wretched, and heaven did not want to take them away so easily.
“You’ll find her.” The man walked over and hugged her skinny body in his arms. Right now, she was really white until she was going to break.
“Believe me; we’ll find her, okay?”
“Thank you, Gao Yi.” Xia Ruoxin reached her hand out and placed it on the man’s waist. There was no meaning to it, or perhaps she wanted this man to give her some warmth, just like the sunlight from the sky.
Sometimes, life was like that. When one thought that one had left far away—after a twist of fate, they would return back to their original state. Just that, he was there; but what about that man? Was he there?
Xia Ruoxin fell asleep again. Gao Yi walked over and pulled the blanket until below her chin, and then he placed his fingers on her forehead. Up till now, he could not forget the look on her face when she was taking her last breath as she was sent to the hospital.
According to the people that saved her, she was found on sea. Back then, she was hugging a piece of wood and had been floating on the ocean for god-knows-how-long. Her entire body was soaked by the seawater, and if it was not for the boat that went past her coincidentally and brought her to the hospital, she would have died.
Just that this incident had a big impact on her body, and she would not recover in a year or two. Besides, some things could not heal back even for the rest of her life.
The fear when one person was floating on the ocean with nowhere to go… the hopelessness on sea…
No one knew what she had experienced. No one knew what she had encountered. Even her leg was ripped off of a piece of her meat and could leave behind an enormous wound in the future.
Actually, these wounds did not pose much of a problem as it could be removed by surgery, but what about her heart? What was she going to do with it? How could her heart heal? Even the best psychologist could not heal her wound, the deep wound that revealed her bones.
Also, the news that even he could not accept. Rainy was gone; she was missing.
He had already asked people to look for her, but how could they find a small child in the sea of people? All he heard was truths that he could not accept.
Rainy also lost a kidney.
When she was three, she was hospitalized for leucocythemia.
When she was four, her kidney was stolen.
When she was close to five, she went missing.
As for Xia Ruoxin, he did not dare to ask why she was on sea and why she was severely injured.
She refused to say all along. Ever since she woke up, the most she did was sleep and have nightmares.
When she slept, she would start to dream; and when she woke up, she would continue sleeping.
His fingers moved downwards gently to her tightly knitted brows. When could she have a good sleep? When could she stop having nightmares?
The door outside was pushed gently, and a young man walked in. He grew a beard and looked rather haggard.
“What kind of look is this? Go tidy yourself up.”
Gao Yi raised his eyes. “People who don’t know would think that you’re seventy or eighty years old.”
“Brother, this is where you’re wrong.” Gao Xin walked over and sat down loudly. “This is called vicissitude. Many women like people like me.”
“I don’t.” Gao Yi raised his hand and smacked his head. “Don’t let Mom see you. If not, she would think that you are heartbroken.”
“I know.” Gao Xin raised his arm. “Also, Brother, don’t hit my head in the future. I’m already not smart; please leave me some brain cells.
“Also…” He lowered his voice.
“How’s Sister Ruoxin?”
“Not too good.” Gao Yi walked over and placed Xia Ruoxin’s thin arm outside, back into the blankets. “She’s still on an emotional rollercoaster and would not eat much. Her body is still very weak, and she can only adjust it back slowly.
“Oh, yes, did you hear any news?” He asked and could not help but to pinch his forehead as he felt that his head was about to burst.
“Nope.” Gao Xin sat down and stretched; he was tired too. “I tried finding out from everywhere I could, and I did check thoroughly but I just can’t find Rainy. Brother, you also know that these two years; I have been making many friends outside and covered many places. This time, they did help me quite a bit, but they still could not find them. There are a few similar ones, and I have gone over to look at them, taking countless plane rides. In the end, I came back with disappointment.
“However, I believe nothing would happen to her. Rainy is so pretty; no one would hurt her. However, they might fall in love with her at first sight and raise her on their own.”
Actually, he was very afraid that the people would take Rainy away just for her organs or they would purposely beat the child up, make the child into a handicap, and ask the child to beg for money for them.
It was okay if she was adopted by someone else even if it was in a poor family; just not that kind of hurt.
Of course, he did not dare say this in front of Xia Ruoxin or anyone. In fact, he did not even dare to think much about it himself.
“Oh, yes, Brother.” Gao Xin then remembered. “He came over. He wants to see you at home.”
“What is he doing here?” Gao Yi stood up and did not look too good.
“I don’t know.” Gao Xin shrugged his shoulders. “He probably came over for Bai Luoyin. Brother, you must not be foolish and make a mistake. Even though you both were married, but now, you’re divorced. Besides, you escaped from the hell hole so you can’t go back in again.”
“I know.” Gao Yi did not even want to bring up the name ‘Bai Luoyin’. However, since the man came, he did need to see him.
Just that, he was worried.
“Brother, it’s okay. I’m here.” Gao Xin patted his chest. “I’m here so Sister Ruoxin would not be in trouble. Besides, didn’t you say that her condition was pretty stable even though it might not be good? She just needs more rest. You can just come back after seeing that man.” Gao Xin did not even want to bring that person’s name up.
