Hed just pretend that he had never seen that child before. Yixuan was already dead. Everything that had happened was in the past. His wife now was Li Manni, and she was pregnant with his child.

This was enough for him to make his choice.

The black car vanished quickly. However, no words escaped from the mans silent lips. They merely pursed even tightly together. His heart might have been beating, but each sound was accompanied by an aching pain. It was subdued yet consistent.

The sky was getting dark.

The darkening sky was an indication of a new day approaching.

Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughters face gently as her lips curled into a small smile. Sleep, Rainy. You have to be brave tomorrow. Remember that Mommy will be there with you all the time.

She gave her daughters cheek a gentle kiss. Then, she embraced her tiny frame into her arms.

Both she and Rainy could fit into the small bed comfortably as they were extremely petite. It only took a small bed for them to sleep in, with room to spare. That became their world.

The doll at the head of the bed seemed to stare at them until the darkness had passed, and everything returned to normal.

Tonight had nothing to do with the good or the bad that would happen tomorrow.

They slept soundly and deeply because they thought the surgery would go on without a glitch. However, no one knew that none of these plans could match the speedy changes.

The next day, Xia Ruoxin woke up very early so that she could cook a bowl of porridge for her daughter. She even put a bit of sugar in there. It was her babys favorite food and the only thing the little girl could eatthe mushy stuff. However, after today, she would soon be able to taste the fish that her mother cooks.

She picked up a small spoon and began feeding her daughter, a mouthful at a time.

Is it tasty? She patted gently on her daughters tiny cheeks as Rainy nodded her head hard.

Mommy, its yummy. Mommys porridge is the best.

Rainy took another mouthful. A childs mouth was small so she was eating very slowly. She has been eating the bowl of porridge for a very long time.

Then finish it. Dont leave any left-over. A good baby always finishes her food. She squatted in front of her daughter while Rainy dangled her feet at her chest level, swinging from time to time.

There were no shoes on her tiny feet, but they were touching her mothers chest. It was warm, and she liked it a lot.

When they noticed him, the doctor was already standing in front of them. Rainy smiled shyly as soon as she saw the doctor. Hello, Uncle. She was indeed an obedient child when she saw someone whom she liked. She was such a well-behaved and polite child.

Hi, Rainy. Have you been good today? He came forward and rested his hand on top of her head. His hands were actually shaking.

Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When they opened again, it seemed he had reached some sort of decision.

Miss Xia, I have something to tell you. You might not be able to accept it immediately, but still, I have to let you know.

The doctors words caused Xia Ruoxins heart to skip a beat, and she began to feel extremely uneasy. What he wanted to tell her did it have to do with the surgery? With Rainy? Hadnt they told her that everything has been arranged, and the surgery would proceed as scheduled?

Miss Xia, we are so sorry to tell you that the surgery today has been canceled.

Xia Ruoxins body froze. The spoon that she was holding kept trembling as though she was powerless to hold the weightless spoon.

So, has it been postponed till tomorrow? She opened her mouth and asked weakly, but her hands never stopped moving. She continued to feed Rainy the porridge while the little girl tilted her head curiously, not understanding their conversation. She merely ate the porridge quietly when Xia Ruoxin fed her. She ate one mouthful after another.

No. The doctor had trouble finding the words to break the news. Im very sorry, Miss Xia. Its possible that there will be no surgery. Mr. Chu, for some reason, has decided not to donate his bone marrow. There is no way we can proceed further.

The doctor met Rainys innocent eyes. He couldnt bear it, but there was nothing he could do.

Spend more time with the child. Buy her whatever she wants. After all, this child

Xia Ruoxin understood what he was trying to say even though he did not finish his words. Her Rainy has been handed a death sentence.

Mommy Rainy touched Xia Ruoxins face with her little hand. She moved her mouth to Xia Ruoxins eyes and started blowing at them. Mommy, are your eyes hurting? Let me blow. She kept blowing at the tears in Xia Ruoxins eyes. She thought her mothers eyes were hurting, but she did not know that her mother was crying, not because of the pain in her eyes.

Have another mouthful. Xia Ruoxin did not bother with her own tears. She continued to feed her daughter. You must eat well, Rainy. Mommy will make lots and lots of yummy food for you to eat.

Forgive me for not being able to take better care of you. With me as your useless mother, you have gone through so much suffering. You never had a day without worries. Even now, I cant cure you of your illness.

Rainy finished a small bowl of porridge. After that, Xia Ruoxin made her a bottle of milk. Rainy took it with both hands and started drinking grudgingly. She was already a big kid, not a baby. There was no need for her to drink milk anymore.

However, her mother said she would have fair skin after she drank her milk. So, she kept drinking. She even leaned weirdly in Xia Ruoxins arms as she sucked hard at the milk bottle.

Rainy, Mommy has to go out for a little while. You must stay here, be good, and listen to the aunties. Okay? Xia Ruoxin gently caressed her daughters face. The tender smile remained on her face, but no one could see the bleakness and despair in her eyes.

Okay. I will be good and wait here for Mommy to come back. I will listen to the aunties and uncles. Rainy promised obediently as she patted her chest. She was the most obedient child. Naturally, she would obey her mothers instruction.

Thats my good girl. Xia Ruoxin gently kissed her daughters little cheeks before she finally stood up.

She would look for Chu Lui to beg him to save her daughter. Rainy was not only her daughter; she was his daughter, too.

Even if Chu Lui might take Rainy away from her in the end. She could not care less. All she wanted was for her daughter to stay alive and be healthy.

She stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked out of the hospital. The sky outside was gloomy, and the air, heavy. Perhaps, a storm was brewing.
