“Mommy, let’s go.” The little kid tugged at Xia Ruoxin’s hand constantly, but she did not have any strength.

Gao Yi opened the hospital door. The sight of the people at the door shocked them. The doctor and nurses were here, their eyes red with tears. One of the nurses even bent down, wiping her tears away profusely. “Rainy, you’re leaving now? Aunty is going to miss you.” She really liked this little cutie. She was obedient and pretty, and now that she was being discharged from the hospital. She thought she would be happy, but she could not bear her leaving instead.

Rainy’s huge eyes widened and reddened soon. These nurses treated her extremely well and played with her whenever Xia Ruoxin was not around.

The nurse hugged the little girl and lifted her off the ground, pressing her lips hard to her cheeks. “You have to listen to your mommy okay? Aunty will miss you.”

“Yes. Rainy will listen to Mommy, and I’ll miss Aunty too.” The girl became sadder as the words left her mouth, making the hearts of the people around her ache. One after another, they all rushed up to hug her and kiss her cheeks red.

Finally, the doctor held Rainy in his arms. “Mr. Doctor, Rainy will come visit you next time.” Her soft, sweet voice made her attending doctor’s heart ache lightly. He really cared quite a bit for this child.

“There’s no need for that, Rainy. Don’t come back anymore.” Rainy did not understand. Did Uncle not like Rainy? She pursed her little lips. “So Uncle doesn’t want to see Rainy anymore?”

“That’s not it.” The doctor quickly dried the tears from the child’s face.

Her crying so sadly made them feel really guilty.

See, the group of ladies at the side thought he was bullying the little girl.

“Rainy doesn’t need to come here to visit Uncle, because it’s not fun here. Uncle will go visit Rainy.” He liked this kid of course, but once she left, it was better to never come back. He would definitely go see her if he had the chance.

“Okay, Uncle. Rainy’s waiting for you.” She gave the doctor a big kiss, making the surrounding people jealous and envious. It was so unfair that Rainy kissed him first.

The doctor placed Rainy back on the ground and rubbed her bald head. She was an unlucky child, and yet she was lucky. Her hair would grow out soon, and she would be a beautiful princess by then.

He smiled at the man and woman in front of him. Perhaps the appearance of Gao Yi would bring a different life to the poor mother and daughter. They had suffered for so long. It was time for them to be happy.

Gao Yi exchanged an understanding look with the doctor. Rainy walked towards Xia Ruoxin and took her hand.

“Mommy, let’s go home.”

“Okay,” Xia Ruoxin smiled at her daughter. She bowed deeply to the doctor and the nurses.

“Thank you guys, thank you so much.” When her own mother and Rainy’s father refused to help them, it was these strangers that took care of them and gave Rainy a second chance at life. She thanked them for their care and concern. Without them, Rainy might have been gone already.

She bowed for a very long time as if unable to straighten up. Drops of tears would fall to the ground from time to time. The woman cried. She did not cry often, and she was a strong mother, but she was—in fact—a fragile woman, too.

“Okay, let’s go home.” Gao Yi freed his hand and placed it on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders.

Xia Ruoxin straightened her body and nodded lightly. Everyone who saw it had reddened eyes and soaked eyelashes.

The three figures slowly walked further into the long corridor, leaving only vague shadows in the end.

The doctor smiled and blessed them. Don’t come here anymore, really, don’t come.

Gao Yi placed the items in his hands into the car and then put Rainy in the car. Xia Ruoxin looked at the hospital, dazed. It was just a few short months, but it felt more than a lifetime.

Hope, despair, despair and hope, again and again. She did not know how she had come so far, and this journey was too hard.

“Let’s go home, Ruoxin.” Gao Yi stood behind her and reached a hand out to cover her eyes. “Ruoxin. Don’t think about the past anymore. It’s all behind us now. You will be alright, too, trust me. You’ll be better from now on.”

Xia Ruoxin could not see anything. She could only hear his pleasant voice in her ear. It was gentle, stable, and safe.

They would do better from now on.

She felt a warm pair of hands clasp on her shoulders. The warmth spread from her shoulders to her chest and then to her whole body.

“Will we really be alright?” She asked absentmindedly. Her eyes had seen too much suffering and did not believe in happiness anymore. She only wanted her daughter to live a better, happier life.

“Yes, believe me, it will,” Gao Yi said, his fingers grazing her eyebrows. Every inch of her body, including her heart, held a trace of pain. He would not ask her what she had gone through in the past. He would wait till the day she would tell him her past and her story.

“Yes, I believe. The heavens are fair. He gave me a cute daughter, and he gave my daughter a second life. He did not let us down.” Xia Ruoxin narrowed her eyes. She had never been defeated by life because that was what she was, a woman who looked weak but actually had a strong heart.

“Silly woman, you would be happy in the future, too.” Gao Yi’s eyes flashed with a dull heartache. He opened the car door and pushed her in the car. “Alright, Rainy’s waited a long time for us. Don’t make her wait too long.” However, he just looked at the little girl and sighed helplessly once he finished saying.

She was in no hurry, for the little one was playing with the doll happily. However, the doll was not as lovely as she was.

He closed the door and entered the car. The engine started. They were going home.

The hospital behind them became further and further away. It was really like the first half of one’s life. Once gone, don’t ever come back
