Chapter 475 - Did He Suspect?
Chapter 475 Did He Suspect?
She was unable to conceive and took someone else’s child as her own while he also lost his fertility and would adopt one in the future. Just like her, he would treat the adopted child like his own.
Gao Yi hugged Rainy tightly and strode past Chu Lui. If he made a mistake, then he should take responsibility for his mistakes. With a word of ‘sorry’, did he want to erase everything that had happened?
It wasn’t that easy.
He opened the car door and placed Rainy onto the safety seat next to him. The safety seat was purposely installed for Rainy, and it came in handy now, allowing her to sleep.
Gao Yi reversed the car, seeing Chu Lui still standing there at the original spot through the rearview mirror. He put the cigarette that was between his fingers into his mouth, gently blowing out a puff of air. That smoke came out after cycling through his lungs as a hazy ring of smoke.
Has it really ended, with no more worries anymore? Not understanding why, Gao Yi felt an unease in his heart that he couldn’t put into words. It was as if the man behind him was a ticking bomb.
They should probably leave sooner. Leave this city to a place where no one knew them.
He drove the car until the doorstep before parking it at the carpark. Gao Yi lifted Rainy from the safety seat, with Rainy still drowsily in sleep and with the doll originally in her embrace left on the car. He knew that Rainy loved that doll very much; he bought her so many dolls, but she only hugged that one. There was only one of that doll, with the doll’s clothes washed whenever it became dirty, thus almost faded.
However, Rainy still wanted to hug it all day every day. If it was really lost, this tiny child would probably cry a thunderstorm. To make things complicated, that doll was limited edition and basically couldn’t be found anymore. He picked up the doll from the car. He was indeed a certified dad. In his left hand was the milk bottle, right hand the doll, in his embrace a larger, living doll.
He emptied one of his hands to open the door. The warm air inside rushed out and rid the coldness surrounding him.
“She fell asleep?” Xia Ruoxin walked over, wanting to carry her daughter.
“It’s okay, let me do it.” Gao Yi didn’t let her. “Be careful of your arm. Don’t do anything strenuous recently.”
“Alright.” Xia Ruoxin took the things in Gao Yi’s hands and placed it on the sofa, allowing Gao Yi to bring Rainy back to the room to sleep. A child could sleep so much, falling asleep whenever.
Gao Yi covered Rainy with the blankets before walking out and sitting on the sofa. He took Xia Ruoxin’s hands and sat down together with her.
“Come, Ruoxin, I need to speak to you.”
“Sure.” Xia Ruoxin sat down. She didn’t know why, but she was anxious.
Gao Yi’s eyes darkened; he had many heavy things to say and required some time.
He took out a medical report from his bag and placed it in front of Xia Ruoxin. “Ruoxin, this is the report for Rainy’s check-up today.” Xia Ruoxin’s hands trembled, with her heart almost stopping for a beat.
“Don’t tell me…”
“Don’t imagine things.” Gao Yi reached out to lightly knock her forehead. “Rainy is all good, no ailments, just a little anemic. The reason why I wanted to show this to you is just to let you feel at ease.”
Xia Ruoxin’s hand then loosened, with her palms already sweaty. She placed the medical report that was almost crushed by her onto the table and flipped it page by page.
All thanks to Rainy’s hospital stay for those few months, she was then able to understand some medical terms.
Indeed, everything was normal except for slight anemia, but nothing serious. Her gaze shifted slightly and fell onto the section of the child’s name.
Rainy Gao, three years old.
Yes, it’s Rainy Gao. Ever since she started to cohabit with Gao Yi, Rainy’s name automatically became Rainy Gao, legally writing her name under Gao Yi’s name. It certainly made schooling or hospital visits more convenient, not to mention Rainy’s background. It would be safer, and the Chu family wouldn’t be suspicious.
Chu Lui was originally an unscrupulous man who didn’t care about his methods. She could not let him have any suspicions; otherwise, he would definitely do everything to snatch Rainy over. Rainy was hers, no one could take her away.
“Ruoxin…” Gao Yi’s sudden voice interrupted Xia Ruoxin’s train of thoughts.
“Hmm?” Xia Ruoxin lifted her face and placed on the table all the materials in her hand.
“I met him today.”
One ‘him’ made her hands that just dried produce sweat. Who could ‘he’ be? No one else but Chu Lui, obviously.
“Did he suspect anything?” Xia Ruoxin’s face paled. She was afraid of this matter.
“He didn’t, but I can’t guarantee that he will stay unsuspecting.” Gao Yi gently stroked his eyebrow which raised for a moment. Rainy resembled Ruoxin to such an extent that anyone who used his brain would be suspicious. Furthermore, Chu Lui was the type who would pursue the matter relentlessly if he found it to be even a little suspicious.
Rainy’s background was very simple, and a check could reveal everything. Currently, that man didn’t have that thought because Rainy was his daughter, and the reason behind Ruoxin’s inability to become pregnant was still concealed. However, this didn’t mean it would be so forever.
Xia Ruoxin lowered her eyelashes, with the long and dense eyebrows hiding some discomfort.
What to do? That man was like a ticking bomb near her that could blow up anytime on the pair of mother and daughter.
“Don’t worry.” Gao Yi stretched his hands over Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders. “Let me inform the hospital, and then we’ll head home.”
“Home…” Xia Ruoxin repeatedly murmured the word. Home, yes, where is home? Where is her home?
“Let’s go overseas together. My home is yours.” Gao Yi comforted Xia Ruoxin’s confused feelings. The promise he gave was more real than anything else, bringing her the most peace.
He wasn’t Chu Lui. His words would definitely become real while what Chu Lui said was all just manipulative in nature.
Overseas, leaving behind the place that she lived in for so long. It would be a lie if she said she wouldn’t miss it. However, Xia Ruoxin didn’t have any parents, any relatives, or any friends-only a daughter who had been through hardships with her. Going or not didn’t make any difference, but by going overseas, she could leave behind him-leave behind everything. She was willing.
