Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

“Mommy, where’s Rainy’s doll?” She opened her eyes wide and asked Xia Ruoxin. Without her doll, she couldn’t fall asleep.

“Here.” Xia Ruoxin took out Rainy’s doll from a shelf at the side and placed it into her arms. She strangely hugged the doll and furrowed her brows. “Mommy, Dolly is dirty.” She used her tiny hands to pat away the dirt before returning the doll into her embrace.

She let out a small yawn. With her doll, she was finally able to sleep.

“Gao Yi, what’s wrong with Rainy?” After Rainy fell asleep, Xia Ruoxin lifted her head and asked Gao Yi. What was going on with Rainy? Why was she suddenly unable to recognize Gao Yi? She even forgot her own age. Last time, when people asked her about it, she would always say that she was three and a half years old. Why did it become only three now?

“Ruoxin, it may be just as you had thought.” Gao Yi stood up, reached out his hand, and placed it on his own forehead.

“I knew that after Rainy woke up, some aftereffects would more or less show up. I never thought that it would be like that.

“Her condition right now, actually, isn’t a lie. She really doesn’t remember me, and she’s three-years-old. She lost her memories of the past half a year. This also means that right now, she is actually only three-years-old. She had never fallen sick and never gotten into a car accident. In her memories, she also never had me as her father. She never had any grandparents as well. She doesn’t remember anything.”

“She doesn’t remember anything?” Xia Ruoxin paused for a moment.

“Yes.” Gao Yi nodded his head. He placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder.

“Ruoxin, this is actually a good thing because I was actually worried that the injury was going to affect her intelligence or her eyes. From the looks of it though, she seemed to have only lost half of her memories. There isn’t any big issue.”

“But she forgot about you.” Xia Ruoxin felt a little bad. She felt that this was extremely unfair. It was not fair to Gao Yi. Rainy remembered that she was her mother, and yet she forgot about such a great father.

“No.” Gao Yi gently pulled Xia Ruoxin into an embrace, and Xia Ruoxin didn’t struggle. “Ruoxin, I don’t feel like all my care has been wasted because I once made her happy. She had also made me happy before. Actually, forgetting about the things that have happened for the past half a year could be a good thing for her. Getting sick, the car accident, and many other things. It already gave her too much stress and pressure. Forgetting is the best because she’s three-years-old again.”

Besides, Gao Yi knew what Xia Ruoxin was thinking about. He shook his head. “You don’t have to worry about me. I will make Rainy accept me again. Don’t forget, Rainy didn’t actually forget much. If she remembered that doll, then she would remember me as well. I will still be her father.”

Furthermore, her forgetting about Gao Yi also meant that she had forgotten about Chu Lui. This time, it was fair for both of them.

Xia Ruoxin still felt sorry for this man. Her heart was filled with a deep sense of guilt.

“Alright, don’t think too much.” Gao Yi laughed as he spoke again, “We’ll be getting married soon, and by then, she’ll be our daughter. Is there any way for her not to recognize me as her father? Don’t forget, Rainy really liked me as her father. Her memories can disappear, but certain habits won’t change so easily.”

It was just that they might need to make some adjustments to their flight plans. Actually, if it wasn’t for Rainy’s sudden accident, they would have already flown to England and left this place. However, right now, they could only stay here for a few more days. With Rainy like this, there was no way she could take a long flight.

Xia Ruoxin gently heaved a sigh of relief, but somehow, upon hearing the word ‘marriage’, her heart unexpectedly felt heavy. She had married and divorced before. She got married with hope but divorced with agony. She knew that this man in front of her would treat her very well, unlike that other man.

He would. She believed that she would definitely be happy, and this man would definitely give her the happiness that she wanted. It was just that… why did she still feel an urge to cry?

She closed both of her eyes, trying her best to repress that heavy feeling in her chest. Wasn’t this what she had always wanted? Now that it was within an arm’s reach, why was she hesitating again?

At that moment, something seemingly flashed across Gao Yi’s eyes. His expression was abnormally somber. This was actually a very unfair fight, but he still wanted to take a gamble.

Rainy hugged her doll tightly. The wound on her forehead didn’t allow her to sleep well. It was only when a large hand was placed on her forehead that she opened her eyes in a daze.

“Uncle…” She curled her lips into a smile, so warm.

“You can call me Daddy because I’m your daddy.”

Rainy closed her eyes again. However, she remembered that man again. She really liked him, but she liked her dad more. Rainy wants her Mommy, and she also wanted her Daddy.

Gao Yi helped Rainy pulled up her covers, his fingers carefully rubbing her forehead. He knew that she was in pain; however, she just needed to endure it for a few more days. She would recover really soon.

Just as what Gao Yi had predicted, Rainy really recovered very quickly. Her small face had also become more flushed. Within a few days, she had regained her apple-like face.

The weird thing was that there were many strange people by her side.

A granny, a grandpa, an uncle, and another weird uncle. When he came to see her, he didn’t say much. However, he always brought a lot of fun toys for her.

Rainy reached out her two little hands. Even though she still had a bandage on her forehead, she could already be discharged from the hospital. Furthermore, because Gao Yi was the doctor in charge of her, living in the house and living in the hospital felt the same.

“Daddy, carry me,” she sweetly said. Of course, her ‘daddy’ was referring to Gao Yi. Although she suddenly had a new daddy, she didn’t dislike it at all. In fact, she actually liked it a lot. Perhaps, she had lost her memories of Gao Yi. However, her liking for Gao Yi remained the same.

“Alright, let’s head home.” Gao Yi helped Rainy put on her shoes and then picked her up. Xia Ruoxin had already kept the things that he had tried to avoid. She reached out her hand to wipe off the perspiration on her forehead. Although she was tired-as long as she saw Rainy’s energetic look, she felt really satisfied.

“Ruoxin, let’s go back.” Gao Yi walked over and emptied one of his hands, gripping Xia Ruoxin’s hand tightly with it.

“Alright.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head and walked out of the hospital ward with Gao Yi holding her hand. Rainy, whereas, obediently stayed in Gao Yi’s arms, hugging her doll in her arms and playing with the doll’s small hand.
