This place was not too far from the hospital so they just had to walk there. She knew that a man was following closely behind.
If he wanted to follow, then he could. The legs were his anyway; she could not care less.
Inside the hospital, Chu Lui had been following Xia Ruoxin closely from behind. Luckily, this country did not mind much about one’s attire. If it was in China, some hospitals might not even let him in just based on his attire.
Looking down, he saw all that he was wearing was a pair of sandals.
Once the doctor saw Xia Ruoxin’s wound, he was shocked.
“What bit you?” He asked before using a ball of antiseptic cotton wool to treat her wound. “Was it a dog?”
Chu Lui laughed to himself but received a death glare from Xia Ruoxin. She then mumbled, “Human.”
“That was brutal, even if it was a quarrel. Do you need me to call security?” The doctor looked at Chu Lui. That look was as if Chu Lui was the one who had bitten her.
Chu Lui was indignant. No matter how bad he was, he could not have done this to a woman. Besides, he was very normal; he was not at all interested in human meat.
The doctor noticed something else and held Xia Ruoxin’s wrist lightly.
“There’s something wrong with the bone in your arm. How did it happen? It felt as if the bone had grown in the wrong place. Someone did help you fix it before, but his method was conservative and requires a longer time to recover.”
“Someone hit me,” Xia Ruoxin answered without hesitation.
Chu Lui lowered his head in shame and dared not utter a word.
“Miss, do you need help from the police?” The doctor confirmed that Chu Lui had violent tendencies.
“It’s okay, thank you.” Xia Ruoxin touched her arm, and it still hurt. However, there was no use calling the police as her arm had already become like this. Even the police could not help her.
The doctor gave her some medicine and a few jabs for the next few days. Of course, he had also given her a tetanus jab.
Even though it was bitten by a human, but there might be bacteria, too.
The Chu Lui walking behind Xia Ruoxin finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that there was a tetanus shot. Actually, he wanted to ask for it, but he knew that Xia Ruoxin did not like other people saying that she was bitten by a dog.
As long as she went for her injections on time, it was okay if no one mentioned it.
Xia Ruoxin shut her mouth and refused to talk about her injury, and Chu Lui did so too naturally. The Gao Yi now was conscious less frequently, and every day, he would be in a dazed state. If not, his drug addiction would kick in; and one could hear his howls from time to time.
His entire person had slimmed down by a lot. Including Chu Lui, the four of them were getting thinner rapidly.
Gao Yi continually tormented himself and the people around him.
“Baby, did you miss Uncle?” Chu Lui carried his daughter. It had been a long, very long time since he had last seen his own child. He had never seen this child much, let alone hug her. He had never done much for her, but yet she had to suffer because of him.
He did wrong to her daughter, and he had no face to see her.
However, he really loved her. He was the only daughter he had in his life.
“Uncle…” Rainy blinked before looking down at her feet. The voice was still strange to her.
Then, she did not even want to speak to Chu Lui and had even struggled to jump down.
Chu Lui felt upset; this child still did not like him that much.
“It’s okay, she’s just foreign.” Wei Lan comforted Chu Lui and held onto Rainy’s hand.
“I know.” Chu Lui wanted to touch his daughter’s face, but the child hid her body behind Wei Lan’s. Even though she had forgotten what had happened when she was sick, but in her memory, she still did not really like Chu Lui. Even if she did not hate him, but the discrimination was obvious.
At that moment, the door opened.
Gao Yi walked out, and Rainy struggled to get out of Wei Lan’s hands.
“Daddy.” She ran towards Gao Yi and hugged his leg just like she used to. She looked upwards, and her two eyes shone brightly with gratitude towards Gao Yi for raising her.
“You’re here.” Gao Yi carried the child from the floor and kissed her face. Chu Lui, who was standing aside, squinted his eyes dangerously. Gangster trying to take advantage of his daughter.
“Baby, do you miss Daddy?” Gao Yi hugged Rainy and sat down without care about a particular someone’s existence.
“Yes!” Rainy leaned on Gao Yi’s chest. She knew that her father had gone to a faraway place to work, but now that he was back, she was really happy-thrilled even.
Just that, her father was really pitiful. She stretched her hand out to touch Gao Yi’s face. “Daddy’s meat is gone.”
“It’s okay, it’ll grow back real fast.” Gao Yi pinched Rainy’s tender face again. This small dumpling had finally grown up. Her small arms and legs are now very muscular, and her apple-like face became even rounder. However, she still had a standard pretty face and was starting to look more like her mother.
The father and daughter here said one sentence after another and daringly showed off their intimate ties in front of everyone else. On the other side, the real father was staring until his eyes were going to pop out; but he still put on a nonchalant look.
The two men’s stares were fighting in the air like fireworks. When Wei Lan looked up at the ceiling, she felt as though the house was really warm.
Gao Yi put Rainy down and patted her small face. “Come on, go find Granny. She’ll take you out to play.”
Rainy obediently ran over and took Wei Lan’s hand. “Granny, Daddy said you’ll bring me out to play.”
Wei Lan was shocked and hurriedly carried Rainy. On the other hand, Gao Yi’s face was not looking good; and she knew that her son’s drug addiction was going to kick in soon. Secretly, she wiped her own tears before bringing Rainy out. She could not let Rainy witness anything like this; it would scar her for life.
“Follow me.” Gao Yi stood up and walked towards his bedroom. It was that familiar feeling of being bitten by thousands of insects again. He hit his head with all his might and had to resist the urge of hitting his head against the wall.
He had to take the chance where he was still sane; if not, he would really not know what he would do later.
Chu Lui followed him out and closed the door behind him. He picked up the rope from the floor and quickly tied a tight rope around Gao Yi. One could see that the veins on Gao Yi’s forehead started to pop, and he was sweating big beads of cold sweat again.
