Chapter 157 - Sick
Her poor daughter was going hungry just a few days after she was born, but she really did not have any money to buy her milk powder. She lifted the bowl of batter and held a spoonful to her daughter’s lips.
“Rainy, eat a little, okay? Be a good girl and eat some. Then you won’t be hungry.” The baby licked her small lips, and upon realizing that it was bland, she refused to eat and began bawling.
Xia Ruoxin’s heart ached as she cried continuously. “Mommy is begging you. Please eat a little, okay?” She placed the spoon against the baby’s lips again, and this time, it could be because she was really famished.
She clutched her mother’s shirt desperately, her eyes red like a rabbit’s. Then, she really ate it obediently, one spoonful after another. After she finished eating, she laid across Xia Ruoxin’s lap and fell asleep. Xia Ruoxin hugged her tightly. Apologies leaving her lips time and time again.
“Rainy…” She said her daughter’s name and rocked her lightly. She acted as her cradle since they did not have one.
This baby was actually really obedient, sometimes to the point of making her heart ache. She had already become used to eating batter for meals. She was growing up day by day, but their lives were getting harder.
Just relying on her alone washing clothes for others to earn a living and raise her kid was very hard on her, especially since the child fell sick often, which required a huge sum of money. For someone who didn’t have any savings like her, it made the matter worse.
The clothes that she had to wash were increasing, and sometimes, she was tired to the point where she could not even lift both her hands up. Even in her free time, she had to create handicrafts for sale and could not rest. However, every time she looked at her daughter’s face, she was okay with any hardships that came her way.
Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on her daughter’s head. Her cheeks were extremely red. She picked her up and bolted outside immediately. Her Little Raindrop was sick.
In the hospital, she sat nervously on the resting chair. She lifted her head and looked at a television in the distance, which was broadcasting an auction live. The scene changed, and the camera landed on a man and a woman. Instantly, almost as if someone had put the spotlight on them, they grabbed all the attention.
All of a sudden, Xia Ruoxin felt her heart twist, and she felt horrible.
She had not seen them for a very long time. It seemed they were doing well and still very loving, and in this world, no one needed her other than herself and her daughter.
She placed a hand on her chest. She didn’t want to listen anymore. She didn’t want to look anymore, but the sounds kept playing continuously.
Her hand moved around her forehead. Her neck felt empty. She blinked hard, and it felt like something was going to fall from her eyes soon.
She lifted her head again, a layer of mist covering her eyes making her vision blurred.
She blinked lightly. The blur went away, but it made her eyelashes wet. There was a slight helplessness.
The camera was always focused on the couple. They really looked good together. Who else could be a good match for them but each other?
At this moment, at the auction, Li Manni was holding Chu Lui’s arm. Her smile became sweeter and more radiant as several reporters took their photos as if trying to show others her happiness and satisfaction. She was showing off her happiness and her successful love.
