Chapter 198: She was Grateful to Him

There were male, female, and even children’s clothes.

They were probably not theirs.

Gao Yi did not ask anything. He walked over to the small bed and put down Rainy from his arms. Gao Yi loosened his arms, and Rainy hugged the doll tightly in her arms without waking up.

Xia Ruoxin also followed and took her daughter’s small shoes off and then pulled the blanket and laid it over her body.

“What’re those clothes for?” Gao Yi stood by the side. He sometimes felt that in this small house, even people had to search for a place to stand.

“I’m washing it later. These are the neighbor’s clothes.” Xia Ruoxin adjusted the blanket on Rainy, making sure her hands and feet were all covered.

Gao Yi pressed his lips together again. He actually had no need to guess or think further anymore. Everything here showed him the life they were living. If she didn’t sell blood, she couldn’t have afforded the doll.

Gao Yi put his hand into his pocket and took out a name card. He walked towards Xia Ruoxin and stared at the emaciated woman from above.

Exactly what kind of burden she had had to shoulder? It was crushing her till she could not even stand straight.

“This is my name card. Should you need any help in the future, call me. Don’t resort to selling your blood. You have a daughter. You shouldn’t harm yourself like this.”

He lowered his head and put the name card in Xia Ruoxin’s hand. He was not one who liked to meddle in another’s business, but he had felt the pain for this pair of mother and daughter.

If it was possible at all, he would like to provide them with more assistance.

Xia Ruoxin held the name card tightly in her hands and watched as Gao Yi vanished from her sight. No one had spoken to her like this in a very long time. She had only herself to depend on no matter how tough things were. She had always been on her own. Until now…

She turned the card and smiled bitterly. His words might not be true, and he might not even honor his promise. Yet, she was still grateful to him.

She stood up and carefully put the name card away. Then, she went and retrieved some water. There was still a lot of laundry to be washed. She squatted, rolled her sleeves up, and dipped her hands into the icy cold water.

From time to time, she would turn her head around to check on Rainy who was deep asleep. This was enough to justify all the hardships she would have to go through.

The sky outside was getting darker. It was another tough night, but after this, she would be able to get a good rest.

She had thought that they would be able to live a quiet life; she was wrong. All she had wanted was peace. Why did it have to be so difficult?

Rainy sat alone on a tiny stool with Dolly in her arms. Her eyes were droopy, and there was a faint blush on her face. It was getting redder which wasn’t normal.

“Mommy…” she muttered for Xia Ruoxin weakly. However, she clutched onto the doll tightly. Her lips showed a pale white unlike the usual rosy red, and her face was flushed.

She huddled her small body as tears gathered in her eyes.

Xia Ruoxin looked back at her daughter and saw that she was sitting with her head hung low and being obedient. She put the stock down and wondered if the little girl had fallen asleep.
