Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 623
Chapter 623: Watched the Whole Process
“What did you see?” Gao Yi asked dumbly and looked at the front the same way.
“I saw her inject you here when you were sleeping,” explained Xia Ruoxin as she pointed towards Gao Yi’s arm.
“How did you see it? Where did you see it?” Gao Yi lowered his head and was still looking at the wound on his arm stupidly. However, he suddenly clenched his fist as if he was holding something back.
Xia Ruoxin continued to wrap the bandage and carried on saying, “That day I saw you at the town, and Madam Mei Fu said you took drugs. I wanted to call you and ask what was going on. Other than the first time when Bai Luoyin picked up, the rest of the calls could not connect. I tried calling Auntie and Gao Xin, but I could not reach them as well so I wanted to find out myself what exactly was going on. Hence, I sneaked into the Bai family house when you all went for your church service and hid in the fireplace. Then, I saw…”
Gao Yi’s face changed, and he displayed a look of embarrassment. They did something unspeakable. Even though Xia Ruoxin did not say much, but he remembered that he came home with Bai Luoyin that day… and to think she had to witness that whole process.
He wanted to dig a hole in the floor and hide himself; he had no face to see anyone.
“Gao Yi, what do you plan to do?” Xia Ruoxin seemed to not notice his embarrassment, and she herself did not want to dwell on the topic so she did not bring up what happened that night again. However, there seemed to be an extra awkwardness between them for some reason; but this was not the time to be awkward. They did not have the right to be as the most important thing was Gao Yi; he had a drug addiction.
“I’ll be okay.” Gao Yi’s body stiffened, and he held back his urge to arrange her hair. At this moment, her clothes were drenched; and her face was as pale as a sheet. It was evident that she had been standing there and waiting for a very long time. This woman was still as silly as before.
He had already treated her like this.
He brought her over, promised her, but—in the end—abandoned her like Chu Lui did. However, she did not hate him, and when he was in trouble, she risked her own safety to help him search for the truth and to tell him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” He turned and gave the umbrella in his hand to Xia Ruoxin. “Take it, she’ll be out soon. Now is not the time to start a fight.”
Xia Ruoxin held the umbrella in her hands tightly and shivered coldly. His hand was still as warm and dry as before, but his entire body had slimmed by a ton. If it was not because they separated not too long ago—perhaps when she met him again, she would have forgotten how he originally looked like.
Gao Yi returned to the car. His lips that naturally curved upwards were now pulled really straight. Between the warm and peaceful brows, there was a lot of hatred. He touched his arm and turned back to see Xia Ruoxin not holding the umbrella but hiding in a corner of the wall. He could vaguely still see that her clothes were still dripping wet.
Not long after, Bai Luoyin came out. To Xia Ruoxin’s expectations, she had changed her outfit, her shoes, and even her socks; of course, not forgetting her make-up that had been touched up.
“Sorry, I made you wait.” Bai Luoyin entered the car and kissed Gao Yi’s face. However, she did not notice the hatred that flashed past in Gao Yi’s eyes and the veins that popped out on his arm when he placed his hands on the steering wheel.
In the rain, the car drove further and further until it disappeared into the storm. Xia Ruoxin then held the umbrella and walked out.
She heaved a sigh of relief, perhaps it was because she was not burdened anymore.
She did not hold the umbrella as her clothes were already wet, and even if she had more umbrellas, she would still be wet when she reached home.
When she finally returned home, she was tired, thirsty, hungry, and cold.
Ahchoo!” She sneezed and rubbed her nose. She was slightly uncomfortable and felt dizzy. She was afraid that she would fall sick so she went to look for flu medicine after she changed out of her clothes, in hopes of surviving through this.
However, if she could not, she probably could not fetch her daughter.
She also knew what Gao Yi was going to do.
She opened her computer, and for some reason, that person’s icon would always be lit. Every time she was online—no matter when, he would always be there.
“Ah-choo!” She sneezed again; she was not very comfortable.
Summer’s Not Over, “Are you there?”
A Sunny Day will Come, “Yeah. You can see me whenever you come online.”
This sentence had another meaning behind it, but Xia Ruoxin did not think much about it. If not, she would have discovered something.
Summer’s Not Over, “Is it midnight over there?”
A Sunny Day will Come, “Past 1 am.”
Summer’s Not Over, “Is your work very busy?”
A Sunny Day will Come, “I guess so.”
The duo talked casually, and then Xia Ruoxin felt her forehead and noticed that it was a bit hot.
“I’ll go out to buy some medicine because I was drenched in the rain so I might have caught a cold.”
“Ah-choo!” She sneezed again. After living with Gao Yi for such a long time—even if she was not a doctor herself, but she still knew some medicine know-how that Gao Yi used to talk about. She changed her clothes and went out to buy her flu medicine.
After she reached home and ate her medicine, she fell asleep on her bed in a dreary state. After some time, she woke up and felt her forehead. Thank God, it was not very hot; and she had stopped sneezing. Perhaps she was better.
However, she seemed to have forgotten something. That was right. She told ‘A Sunny Day will Come’ that she would look for him when she returned, and yet she fell asleep and forgot about it.
She turned on her computer, and of course, the guy was still online. Did he not sleep?
Summer’s Not Over, “You’re still here?”
A Sunny Day will Come, “Yep. Have you bought your medicine? How are you?”
Xia Ruoxin smiled. In this foreign country, there was still someone who cared about her. This feeling was certainly heartwarming.
“I ate already. I feel much better after I took my nap, and my fever’s gone so I think it’ll be okay. Oh right, are you not going to sleep?”
A Sunny Day will Come, “I have work to do so it’s fine.”
Xia Ruoxin touched her stomach and felt hungry after she woke up.
“I’ll go cook something to eat. See you later.”
A Sunny Day Will Come, “See you later.”
After she typed the last two words, she stood up and went to the kitchen to make porridge for herself. After eating another dosage of her medicine, if she was feeling fine, and then she could bring Rainy home. However, as for Gao Yi…
She was really worried about him, but she could not do much for him now.
Moreover, she did not know that while her heart was all on Gao Yi, another man did not sleep the entire night just to hear that she was safe.
