Chapter 199: Rainy is Sick

She rushed over to her daughter and squatted by her side.

“Rainy, are you tired?”

After a long time, Rainy’s head remained hanging; and she was quiet.

She tipped her daughter’s head up and saw that her face was flushed. She could even hear her gasping breaths.

“Rainy.” The temperature was shockingly high when she placed her hand on her daughter’s forehead.

She’s having a fever.

“Mommy, I-I feel… so… so cold.” Rainy opened her eyes briefly as her hand grabbed weakly at her mother’s blouse. Then, she leaned into her mother’s arms, and the doll fell onto the ground.

Xia Ruoxin went pale. She scooped her daughter up and ran out. The others were puzzled with her actions, and they could not help worry about them.

Was her child sick?

The hospital was decorated entirely in white. Everything about it was cold and quiet, and no one ever liked it here.

Xia Ruoxin was no exception.

She sat uneasily outside the emergency room, hands clutching tightly at the front of her blouse. She felt so helpless that it was hard to breathe.

Please, don’t let anything happen to her. Rainy was her life; she was still so young. Nothing must happen to her. Nothing. It was just a fever, a common cold.

She lowered her head and covered her face with both her hands. It was all her fault. Why hadn’t she know that Rainy was sick? She had failed her as a mother.

She kept reprimanding herself and wished she could slap herself.

The door to the emergency room opened, and the doctor strode out. His expression was somber.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my…?” She could not finish the sentence even though her lips were moving. She had no idea what to say.

“Are you the child’s mother?” The doctor asked as he lowered his glance at the woman who was struggling to stand.

“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin nodded, not understanding the doctor’s hesitation in his explanation.

“Please come with me.” He turned around, leaving a stunned Xia Ruoxin. Finally, she followed the doctor with heavy steps.

A sudden chill engulfed her. She did not know what it meant; only she felt very cold.

She couldn’t help but shudder.

Was winter coming?

The doctor put a set of medical reports before Xia Ruoxin, and she picked it up with shaking hands. However, she could not make out the contents after reading for a long time. Her eyes became misty, and she could only see a bunch of numbers. Those numbers became a blur and flickered, and she could no longer see clearly.

“Miss…” The doctor was at a loss as to how to address the overly young woman in front of him. The words he was about to say was not for the faint of heart, and the woman before him was obviously shaking.

“I have a daughter.” Xia Ruoxin tried to force a smile; it was an ugly one. She realized she was so helpless that she wanted to cry so badly.

“Oh… Madam, you…” The doctor felt cruel as he sighed again. “Do you know that there is such a disease called ‘Leucocythemia’ in the world?”

“Leucocythemia?” Xia Ruoxin went ashen. What was he saying about this leucocythemia?
