Chapter 235: Their Home

“Mommy, can we go home? I want to go home. I will be very obedient. I want to go home.” Rainy held her doll tightly as she repeated herself. She didn’t want to stay here any longer. It’s so scary and cold here.

“Mommy, I want to go home…” Holding her doll tightly, Rainy kept blinking as beads of tears formed on her long eyelashes and fell from time to time.

“Alright, Mommy will bring you home. We will go home.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter. She lowered her eyes, breathed, repeated, and breathed. The nurse realized the mother was crying soundlessly. Her tears kept falling like a lake and gathered at her chin. Then, they fell on the child.

She walked out of the ward looking like that and made her way towards the doctor’s office.

Rainy’s attending physician placed his hand against his forehead and considered carefully. Finally, he said, “Miss Xia, the child’s condition is currently under control. The important thing that we are waiting for is the bone marrow. You can bring her home. She is too young. If she keeps crying like this, it will not do her body any good.

“Let’s do this: you can bring her home as long as she comes back regularly for her follow-up.”

Xia Ruoxin nodded lightly. Rainy had cried herself to sleep, but she kept calling for her mother.

She carried her daughter and walked out of the white world, step by step, while the doctor merely stared at her silhouette. He could feel the woman’s body getting thinner. How was she going to take on so many issues and bear the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders?

He sighed and went back in. All he could hope was for a suitable bone marrow donor to appear soon. Or else, this adorable child would face a dire consequence.

Once they were outside, Xia Ruoxin wrapped her daughter with her own clothes. The wind blew relentlessly on her face as she lowered her head, touching her daughter’s soft cheeks tenderly and her already-thin hair.

She pursed her lips, and that made her walked faster.

It wasn’t until they arrived at their small apartment that Xia Ruoxin realized it has been quite some time since they had come home. Their home was not big, but it was their most favorite safe haven.

She opened the door. It has been a while since anyone had stayed here. Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust. She put her daughter down and went to fetch a basin of water and a rag.

Bit by bit, she wiped the dust off everything in the room.

“Mommy…” Rainy rubbed her eyes and sat on the bed. When she saw the familiar home environment, her face finally broke into a smile. She carried her doll and made her way down the bed into the kitchen in search of Xia Ruoxin.

“Mommy…” She hugged both of Xia Ruoxin’s thighs. She was standing on the ground, barefoot. Xia Ruoxin put the rag down and turned around to carry her daughter.

She gently poked at her daughter’s cute, apple-shaped face. “I told you not to run around barefoot, or else I will ask Xiao Tong from Granny’s house to come and touch your feet.”

Rainy hurriedly withdrew her tiny feet. That was her biggest fear—she hated it when someone touched her feet.
