“Sometimes, I feel like I'm talking to a stranger.” He rubbed his brows, shook his head, and sighed unwittingly. After all, the difference was too big; and all the things he was familiar with were gone. Now, only her eyes were the same as the past; and it was only from there that he could see Xia Ruoxin's shadow.

Xia Ruoxin laughed, but her smiling intention was light and very distant.

Not long later, Qin Xuejuan came and—of course—made a huge pot of soup for Xia Ruoxin.

“Doctor Gao, you should have some, too. If not, my Missy won't be able to finish it.” Coincidentally, Qin Xuejuan smiled once she saw Gao Yi. Finally, it would not be wasted. Gao Yi touched his stomach, and he really wanted to say that he did not want to drink and he could not drink it; his stomach was filled with the previous soup. However, he really could not reject Qin Xuejuan's good intentions so he could only drink the soup.

When Qin Xuejuan saw Gao Yi drinking, she stood up delightedly and tidied the ward first before talking to Xia Ruoxin.

“Just now when I came in, I saw a pair of young parents crying that their child had been hit by a car. The two of them only had that one child. If something happened to him, what should they do? Also, I heard that the person driving the car ran away. If not, the child would be better.

“What's wrong with people nowadays? Why are they all so immoral? If they can drive a good car, why would they be scared of compensation? Also, even if it's a normal car, they would still have insurance. No matter how much money one earned was not enough to buy back a life.”

“The kid is fine, but his spleen was removed.” Gao Yi put the bowl down, and his sentence made Qin Xuejuan heaved a sigh of relief. He clasped his hands together. “Luckily, he's fine. If not, that family would suffer. Perhaps their family might even break apart, and the parents would divorce.”

“How do you know that?” Xia Ruoxin asked Gao Yi. This was someone else's business, but when she heard about it, she could not help but sigh and hope that the person would be fine.

“I did the surgery.” Gao Yi leaned aside and sighed. “However, I have already tried my best to keep the spleen, but the wound was really too big. In the end, one could only remove it. Luckily, after the removal, it won't impact the person too much; and he can still live normally.”

“What about the kidney?” The hand on Xia Ruoxin's knee clenched slightly.

“It'll be fine. A kidney can completely take over normal metabolism work.” Unhappiness flashed in Gao Yi's eyes. Poor Rainy had her kidney removed.

Even though Rainy was no longer around, he still wanted to comfort her. It was just that all the comforts in the world had not much use, but he just hoped that she could be more a.s.sured.

Xia Ruoxin placed the book on her knees again, but after flipping a page, she could not continue reading it.

She stood up, wanted to go, and walk as the weather seemed decent that day.

When she went down to the first floor of the hospital and was about to walk out, she heard a familiar voice.

She walked over and saw a young woman crying.

“Get lost! All of you, go away! No matter how much money you have, you can't return me a healthy son.”

“Isn't he still alive? What are you ranting about? How much money do you want?” Xia Yixuan did her makeup and walked on her heels. She frowned and took out a stack of red notes to throw at the young parents' faces.

Xia Ruoxin folded her arms, and after looking on for half a day, she walked over and stood in front of Xia Yixuan.

“Ms. Xia, do you still like using money to throw at people? Is that fun? Oh, it seems pretty fun.” She searched through her pocket and found her wallet. Without thinking, she took out a stack of money and threw it at Xia Yixuan's face. Quite a few people had already gathered around and started pointing at Xia Yixuan. Humans all pitied the weak. Besides, the weak were not in the wrong. Without mentioning the fact that she had hit their child and ran away, she should have a better att.i.tude if she came to see a patient.

This was a human, not a cat or a dog. It was fine if she did not apologize, but did she have to insult them like that?

“Great throw!” Some people had long could not stand it and took out their wallets. “If it's not enough, I have some here.”

“Me, too.” At this point, many people took out their wallets.

Xia Yixuan's face started turning green. Once she saw Xia Ruoxin, she was taken aback; and her eyes flashed a few times before she held back her discomfort and made herself righteous. Yes, it was not her fault; it was Lu Xiaohua's. So what if she did not die? Even if she did, Chu Lui killed her.

“Lu Xiaohua, what's that supposed to mean? Why?” She sneered. “A kidnapper wants to be a good person?”

“You're Lu Xiaohua?” Once Xia Mingzheng heard that name, he pulled a long face. “That Lu Xiaohua? From the Lu family?”

“Yes, I'm Lu Xiaohua from the Lu family.” Xia Ruoxin admitted generously. Of course, she was also Xia Ruoxin and dared to admit it, but she was afraid that they could not accept it.

“You kidnapped my daughter?” As a father, Xia Mingzheng would not allow anyone to hurt his daughter and insult her like that no matter what.

“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin still admitted. She was not afraid to admit what she had done, but some people were not the same.

“Lu Xiaohua, how are you so shameless? How did your parents teach you?” Xia Mingzheng's face darkened, and his every word p.r.i.c.ked others. Before he finished his sentence, he heard a booming voice.

“How is the way I teach my daughter any of your business?” Lu Ke'en walked over in big steps, followed by Lu Jinrong. The father and son had pulled a long face, and it must be because Xia Mingzheng's previous sentence had crossed the Lu family's bottom line.

Lu Jinrong walked over in big steps and blocked Xia Ruoxin behind him. “Mr. Xia, let's find a place to talk. We're all reputed people and shouldn't be seen as monkeys under everyone's eyes. I think you wouldn't like it either, right?”

Xia Mingzheng had already lost all of his face, and the people beside him kept pointing and talking, which humiliated him.

He grunted and did not look at the Lu family nicely. If it was not because his daughter said to not pursue the matter, why would he let the Lu family off?

Lu Jinrong briefed the a.s.sistant beside him and explained the situation. His a.s.sistant nodded in agreement.

Everyone walked out, and the a.s.sistant picked up the money from the floor and placed it in front of the young parents.
