Chapter 286: Whose Child was That?

“I apologized, Mr. Chu. The child might be too young and shy with strangers.” The hospital director smiled cautiously as well. However, when he did not see any signs of anger on Chu Lui’s face, he relaxed. Chu Lui was a big shot, and they dared not offend him. Or else, he might not be able to keep his position as the director. Besides, if this operation proved to be successful, it would boost the hospital’s reputation. That, of course, included him.

“Please arrange for the operation at the soonest.” Chu Lui said seriously. He wanted to save that child fast, the child with looks resembling Yixuan. His hardened heart had an unexplainable ache in it.

He couldn’t bear for her to suffer anymore.

“I understand. We will make the arrangements right away. The child can wait no longer.” The director finally smiled. This was great. He wasn’t upset, and the child would be saved. He was also saddened by what he had just seen, and his heart ached for that child.

“Lui, I’m going to the washroom.” Li Manni said in a trance. Everyone had forgotten about her. She forced a smile to hide the anxiety in her eyes.

Chu Lui nodded his head. His mind was solely on Rainy, the little girl whom he had met once. Thus, he failed to notice the difference in Li Manni’s usual expression.

She was fearful and fl.u.s.tered. Terrified even.

She closed the door behind her and felt her legs go weak. It wasn’t until much later that she straightened herself. It mustn’t be. Please don’t let it be like what she had imagined. That child couldn’t be that woman’s. It shouldn’t be.

A nurse happened to walk past her when she came out of the washroom. Without a second thought, she stopped the nurse and hurriedly asked, “The child named Rainy. Do you know her mother’s name?” Her words came out in a rush. The nurse was puzzled by her question, but she still answered her.

“Oh, Rainy? Her mother’s name is Xia Ruoxin. Isn’t she the cutest child? She is the most adorable, obedient, and prettiest child in our hospital. Everyone adored her.”

The nurse smiled as she replied. By everyone, she had meant herself.

Li Manni’s hands and feet turned cold once again. Xia Ruoxin. It was really Xia Ruoxin. She had a child who was already three years old. It must have been Chu Lui’s. Li Manni could feel her world cras.h.i.+ng down. Her body went weak, and she sat powerlessly outside on the bench. She could not stop shaking.

Both Chu Lui and herself knew what exactly had happened four years ago. There was no cheating or adultery committed. Everything was arranged by Chu Lui. It was him who had forced Xia Ruoxin to leave so that he could marry her in style. He had pushed everything to Xia Ruoxin. It had never occurred to him that she could be pregnant. Their child was already three years old. Didn’t he say that Xia Ruoxin could never conceive? Where did the child come from? She finally admitted that the child had been Chu Lui’s, no matter how unwilling she was to believe it.

Chu Lui had the same bone marrow as the child. That did not require any proof. She suddenly felt like laughing out loud. Chu Lui and Xia Ruoxin had gotten a divorce because she could not conceive. Unexpectedly, she had a daughter all along. Li Manni put her hand on her belly. It had been four years, and she was still not pregnant. What was going on?
