Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

His smile at the moment was the most genuine smile Xia Ruoxin had seen.

It was not distant or pretense.

“That’s what everyone says.” Xia Ruoxin smiled from the bottom of her heart. She knew Rainy was the exact mold of her, especially when she was younger. They had been identical.

Rainy turned around and blinked her eyes. She could not understand why the uncle was holding onto her mother’s hand.

“Kid, Uncle is treating your mother. It will be over soon. Be quiet, be quiet.” The man saw the caution and suspicion in the little girl’s eyes, and he explained with a smile.

Rainy blinked her eyes once and returned into her mother’s arms.

She had always listened to instructions and be obedient.

The man met her eyes. For the first time, he saw a story and maturity in a child beyond a three-year-old. This child seemed intelligent.

He loosened his hand, and Xia Ruoxin used both of hers to hold her daughter. It was too taxing for one hand to do it, especially when her left hand does not function like her right one.

The man’s eyes turned on Xia Ruoxin’s right arm. “Didn’t you seek treatment for your arm?” The look in his eyes was vicious as though he had not missed her every move.

Xia Ruoxin was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head gently. It wasn’t that she had not wanted to. She had no opportunity or money to do so because she has a young daughter to care for.

“It’s a pity. It may be too late to cure it now.”

The man’s eyes darkened. He seemed to really think it was a pity that a young woman like her would not have a fully functional body.

“It’s alright. I am used to it. I can live well with one hand, too.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and stood up. “At least, I can still carry my daughter. Isn’t it enough?”

Rainy did not understand the depth of these words. She hugged her mother’s neck tightly as she blinked her eyes. There was grievance on her face.

“I do not wish to see you here for the third time,” the man suddenly said as Xia Ruoxin left.

While she did not reply, her smile was bitter as she turned around. Her eyes were misty. “Neither do I.” She carried her daughter properly and walked out. If it was possible, she would have never resorted to this method.

If she could, she wouldn’t be here. Would she?

If possible…

She had no other ways.

The mother and daughter disappeared from the man’s sight. He leaned against the table, and his light brown eyes were in a daze.

“Gao Yi, thank you again.” Another man in a doctor’s robe strode in not long after Xia Ruoxin left. He reached out and patted the man’s back.

“Mmm, it’s okay. I have nothing to do at home. Anyway, I am under the hospital’s payroll as a physician. It may have been in name, but I still have to clock in my hours.” The man named Gao Yi said simply as he frowned.

“What’s up? Something on your mind?” The man smiled and took over the job from him.

“Oh, another one to sell blood?” He said without emotion. There weren’t many who would come to sell their blood, but at times, there would be a handful.

“Nowadays, man would do anything for money.” The man sighed. Like Gao Yi, he did not wish for such a thing to happen. It might have been part of their job description, but it was still cruel to think of it.
