“It’s nice.” Rainy licked at the cone, and she offered it to Xia Ruoxin. “Mommy, have some.”

Xia Ruoxin pretended with a look of dislike. “That is very sweet. Rainy likes it, but Mommy doesn’t.”

Rainy slanted her head curiously, and then she continued to lick the cone. It was so yummy; adults were so weird.

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter tight as they stood outside a shopping mall. Rainy was constantly peeping at the incredibly beautiful doll behind the display window. It really looked pretty with long eyelashes and a mini-skirt.

She had not had one yet.

She bit her lip and lowered her head. She really, really wanted it.

“Rainy, tell Mommy. Do you really like that doll?” Xia Ruoxin pointed at the doll in the display window as she asked her daughter, who had a look of yearning on her face.

Her eyes had not left the doll since the beginning.

She walked closer until she saw the price on the price tag. She made an inward sigh. The doll might be pretty, but it had cost more than she had thought. It was almost equivalent to her two months’ salary.

“No, Mommy. I don’t like it. Let’s go.” She buried her head on top of Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder, not giving that doll another glance.

Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughter’s hair and walked away. An obvious look of disappointment appeared in Rainy’s eyes after she left. Yet, she bit her lip.

Actually, she had wanted to tell her mother that she really liked it.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and gave the doll another look. It’s true that even from a distance, the doll was the prettiest among the many. Little girls had always been drawn to pretty dolls; her Rainy was no exception. She recalled that she also had one when she was young. It had been her treasure even though it was a worn-out doll that Xia Yixuan had not wanted.

Rainy, her poor daughter.

Rainy returned to Xia Ruoxin’s arms, her hand held on tightly at her clothes. As she lowered her eyes, they quickly became red.

Xia Ruoxin paused in her steps. The direction that she was heading was not towards their home but to another place.

“Mommy, what are we doing here? I’m not sick today.” Rainy hugged tightly onto Xia Ruoxin’s neck. She did not like it here. Every time she came here, her buttocks would hurt for a few days.

“It’s for Mommy, not Rainy.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s face gently and comforted her in a soft voice. There was never an unnecessary injection on her daughter’s butt ever since she had grown up.

Rainy bit on her fist, curious as she hid in her arms in fear. She was afraid of this place. The uncles in white will poke people with a needle.

Xia Ruoxin sat on a chair. There was an empty seat before her.

“Mummy, what are we waiting for?” Rainy kept blinking. They had sat for a long time, but no one came.

“It will just take a while.”

Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and sat patiently, waiting.

A man in the doctor’s robe entered and sat before Xia Ruoxin. Surprisingly, both of them met each other’s eyes.

A look of shock registered on their faces.

“It’s you!”
