Adoption: Promises of Love - Chapter 75

Adoption Chapter 76: Sickness

The night Jasmine Ann left Luo Ruixi collapsed with a high fever, it was the first time Luo Yi had seen such a weak Luo Ruixi in all these years, her heart was like a knife.
“Feeling better? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Luo Ruixi shook her head, her dry cracked lips moved, but she couldn’t speak.
“Don’t talk, drink some boiling water.”
Helping Luo Rui Xi up, Luo Yi fed water into the other’s mouth little by little.
“I’ll go and cook some porridge for you.”
“Don’t ……”
Luo Ruixi pulled Luo Yi’s hand, and only let out a single word even after her efforts.
“Eat in order to get better quickly, don’t be capricious, I’ll go and cook some congee for you, I’ll be back soon.”
More than any congee, what I need right now is you, I just want you by my side.
Luo Ruixi loosened his hand and tightened it again, repeated many times, and became even more powerless, his body was like it was going to burn up, consuming his strength little by little. His mind was buzzing and chaotic, constantly flashing images of when Luo Yi first arrived at the Luo family.
Exquisite little face, sensitive character, understanding and maturity can sometimes give people a headache.
“You were so cute when you were little.”
Pulling Luo Yi’s fingers, Luo Ruixi turned sideways and pressed her face against the back of the other’s hand.
“Whether it’s the old you or the current you, I like it all, all of it.”
Not knowing if he had already begun to be incoherent, Luo Rui Xi squinted his eyes and said words that normally wouldn’t come out so easily, as if he had suddenly turned into a child, fond of Luo Yi’s favor.
“Be good, I’ll just leave for a while, okay?”
Looking at Luo Ruixi’s vulnerability, Luo Yi heartbreakingly soothed, he had understood since he was a child that this adult was never fragile, and that facing everyone gently was really just wanting others to be equally gentle to him.
The word ‘good boy’ made Luo Rui Xi wake up for a few moments, dazedly drawing back his hand, looking at Luo Yi with a weak smile.
“Go.”
His body sank downwards, Luo Ruixi closed his eyes, the discomfort in his body made him recall a lot of things from the past, images of being with his parents, snippets of being with the tiny Luo Yi, all of which were happy and warm.
He was adopted by the Luo family not long after he was born, and was raised as his own flesh and blood, he hadn’t suffered since he was a child, even if someone knew that he wasn’t Luo Sheng’s biological son they wouldn’t talk nonsense in front of him.
Outstanding appearance, proud of the results, once graduated began to work in Luo’s, quickly adapted to the rhythm of work.
There were almost no setbacks along the way.
When his parents passed away he was also twenty-five-six, which is not considered a big blow, even if at the beginning of every late night will cry a painful cry, they also slowly come over, not to mention that they have Luo Yi after that, life has color again, there is a support ……
The person who gave him ten years of warmth, what can one have with each other?
That child, the cause of becoming an orphan half involved himself.
Originally, he could have become the most legitimate successor of the Luo family in the capacity of Luo Sheng’s grandson, and would have grown up more smoothly than he did, and could have had a good childhood like ordinary children, without forcing himself to grow up, understand, and mature ……
I didn’t treat you well in these ten years, didn’t love you with every second, and hurt you again and again, didn’t try my best to protect you, and was protected by you.
Icy cold tears slipped from the corner of his eyes, Luo Rui Xi fell deeper and deeper into the abyss of self-blame, and chances were that he couldn’t catch his breath.
“Is it very uncomfortable? Why are you all crying?”
Cool fingers brushed away the tears from the corners of Luo Rui Xi’s eyes, Luo Yi frowned, he really didn’t like Xiao Xi’s tears.
“Well, my eyes hurt a little, and the tears came out.”
Without opening her eyes, Luo Rui Xi pressed her palm against the back of Luo Yi’s hand, one cold and one hot.
“You’re burning so badly, let me take you to the hospital after drinking the porridge, okay?”
“I’m fine, as long as you stay with me, I’ll be fine soon.”
At least this moment, in this last period of time, stay with me, when I straighten everything out, I will be healthy and strong, then ……
Luo Yi also no longer forced himself, helped Luo Rui Xi up, padded a pillow behind him, “Drink congee first.”
A bowl of millet congee, Luo Rui Xi ate for most of an hour, Luo Yi fed him very slowly, occasionally helping Luo Rui Xi wipe the corners of his mouth, his expression was calm, and he did not bring up the matter of Jasmine Ann.
It was like they had some kind of tacit understanding, neither of them talked about the woman who suddenly appeared.
Luo Rui Xi, you have something to say to me, right? It definitely won’t be good for you to be so hesitant, if you listen to anything from that woman and make any stupid decisions, I will never, ever forgive you.
You understand, right, how horrible it is once I decide not to forgive.
