Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 641 Chasing People Away

There were so many times this had happened, and every time was worse than the last. Now, the struggling had gradually decreased, and he slowly started to have his senses back. He knew what he was doing, even though the pain did not decrease. However, at the very least, he was not like a lunatic who bit people randomly. That was what he thought, but he did not know that he did truly bite someone, and that person even got a tetanus shot.

The door suddenly flung open from the outside, and Xia Ruoxin rushed in to see a man being strapped to the bed. Her beating heart seemed to calm down.

She walked over and held Gao Yi’s clenched fist tightly.

Gao Yi looked up from time to time and kept using his own head to hit the mattress. Luckily, the bed was soft; and no matter how hard he did it, there would not be a bruise on his head.

Chu Lui stood aside, with his lips pressed tightly together.

As if he could not stand seeing the scene in front of him, he walked out in big steps while clutching his own hair.

He opened the door, and the cold breeze landed on his body. Suddenly, he felt as though all the pores on his body had opened; and he could breathe the air—the beautiful overseas air… even if his feelings did not reflect the same.

Far away, Rainy was squatting on the floor and picking flowers before giving them to Wei Lan and continued picking. She was wearing a pink dress that opened up layer by layer in the slight wind as if it was a flower that looked the prettiest in the spring breeze.

Chu Lui was standing by the door and letting the wind blow his hair messily from time to time, but his eyes were set on the small shadow.

The two most important women in her life, the most irreplaceable two; one was accompanying a man, and the other was accompanying the man’s mother. Moreover, he had not even heard his daughter acknowledge him.

He walked over as his sandals landed on the floor, and his feet stepped across the lightly grazed grass. He then found himself a spot and sat down.

Rainy picked another flower, but she ran over and stared at him for quite some time.

He tried his best to smile at his daughter, but for such a long time, he already had a fixed expression on his face. It was not easy to squeeze out a smile.

The two stared at each other for a while before Rainy gave him the flower.

Chu Lui felt tears well up in his eyes as he accepted the flower. He felt as though this was the best gift he had received in his entire life—this was his daughter’s first present for him.

Rainy then ran in front of Wei Lan and extended her hand to hold Wei Lan’s.

“Baby, you’re so well-behaved. You know how to give Uncle flowers.” Wei Lan praised Rainy. After all, he was the child’s father so she hoped that Rainy was not too scared of Chu Lui. From what she had seen, the man was changing. He was trying his best to change.

Rainy shook her braids. “Granny can’t hold anymore.”

Wei Lan thought to herself, ‘This kid sure knew how to hurt people.’

Chu Lui thought; was she showing him who the boss was?

Inside the house, Xia Ruoxin found out that Gao Yi’s condition was not as serious as the previous ones. To her surprise—other than the mental torture, his eyes were clear… which would mean he was getting better, right?

Also, it seemed like the duration had been cut down. She calculated: last time he would struggle for an hour or so before he would fall asleep reluctantly; but now, he needed less than half an hour to settle down. Even though he was still exhausted, his mental state was more relaxed; and he was not in much pain as compared to last time.

Gao Yi opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.

That was great: he was back again.

Xia Ruoxin held Gao Yi’s hand tightly and found that his hand that used to be dry and warm… was now filled with sweat. She would always remember that it was this pair of hands that had given her everything when she was at her most helpless period of life.

Today, she had to help this pair of hands regain its warmth no matter what.

“Thank you.” Gao Yi moved his fingers as he did not have much strength before he fell back into a deep sleep again. He had a lot of things to say, but in the end, all he could say was ‘thank you’.

He still needed strength, time, and energy to prepare for his next battle.

After seeing him fall asleep, she then stood up slowly. She felt her leg go numb so she waited for quite some time before she walked out and into the toilet to take out a bucket of hot water and towel to wipe Gao Yi’s face.

Not sure what time Chu Lui came back, but his face was a bit dark. He turned around to lean against the wall.

One was on the inside of the wall while the other was on the outside.

There was only a wall between the two of them, but it seemed as if their distance was miles apart. Even if he had inched closer to her, but she still kept her distance.

What was exactly going on between them?

He laughed bitterly; he could not blame anyone.

It was the ill fate that he had caused.

When Wei Lan came back, she was alone. Rainy still had to stay at Madam Mei Fu’s until Gao Yi had fully recovered. Gao Yi’s drug addiction would act up quite a few times in a day; even the adults were tired…

Let alone a small child.

Wei Lan’s footsteps became lighter as she slowly opened the door and looked over to see Gao Yi awake. He placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s hair strands and was gently touching it while Xia Ruoxin was sleeping on the bed.

Wei Lan really regretted it now. She regretted not persevering till the end at the beginning and allowing Xiao Yi to marry Bai Luoyin. If it was not for her hesitation at the start, her son would probably have his happiness now and not lying on the bed half-dead with his drug addiction.

Luckily, there was still Ruoxin who did not leave her son’s side. Luckily, her son still had hope.

As long as they could overcome this hurdle, everything would be okay.

She wiped her tears and went to the kitchen to prepare some food. They might be hungry when they wake up. Moreover, their battle was not done and probably needed a few more days.

Time could really heal everything, and no matter how big the wound, it would still be patched as time passed. Over time, the wounds would become lighter, even for Gao Yi.

Gao Yi walked out, and he looked quite energetic.

He sat on the sofa, and just nice, Chu Lui was there.

“When are you going back?” he asked impolitely, obviously trying to chase him away.

“When I want to.”

Chu Lui folded his legs. “You better care about yourself first. A decent person like you getting addicted to something like this. Can’t believe you’re a doctor, too; you’ve completely disgraced them.”

“None of your business,” Gao Yi poured a glass of water for himself.

He put down the cup and stared at Chu Lui.
