Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Everything related to the Bai family, finally, ended a few days later.

Wei Lan really divorced Bai Zhenfeng, and so did Gao Yi with Bai Luoyin. It was impossible for Wei Lan to not be upset and to let go easily. After all, she had just left the person she had spent half her life with. However, she would be over it one day.

Now, she took care of Rainy every day and would not let herself be free. Time seemed to pass really fast.

Xia Ruoxin was seated on the sofa and used her brush to convey and show off the image she had in her head. However, after a few strokes, she stopped and hugged the canvas. She started to daydream: even though now she and Gao Yi were living under the same roof, it really did seem as if everything had changed. It might have only been a few months, but it seemed as if everything could not return to the way it was.

Lightly, she sighed before she picked up her paintbrush again. When she was about to begin, she heard a loud sound coming from Gao Yi's room. Something heavy had dropped on the floor.

Hurriedly, she set her canvas aside and ran to Gao Yi's room. 'Peng!' Something else dropped on the floor. Xia Ruoxin had a very uneasy feeling

"Gao Yi?"

She knocked on the door, but there was no reply.

"Gao Yi." She knocked again, but there was still no one answering. The sounds coming from the inside were getting louder and scarier. She pushed the door open with all her might, and what she saw scared her till she lost her breath.

There were things scattered all over the floor, and Gao Yi's frail body was lying on the ground, shivering nonstop. His face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Once he saw the door open, he wanted to run out.

"Gao Yi!" Xia Ruoxin hugged him from behind and refused to let him leave. Even though Gao Yi was very weak, but he was a man. He was innately strong and had grown stronger when he was about to lose his mind.

One wanted to rush forward, but the other held back with no intention of letting go. 'Peng!' Both of them fell back on the floor. Xia Ruoxin was even Gao Yi's human cushion, and the concrete and obvious bones of Gao Yi's body almost broke her body.

"What happened?" Wei Lan hurriedly ran in and was shocked beyond words upon seeing the scene.

"Xiao Yi!" She ran over, and Gao Yi was already breaking out in cold sweat. He had already scratched his own arm till it started to bleed; the line after line of blood marks was harrowing

"Auntie, go get a rope. His drug addiction had kicked in." Xia Ruoxin held onto Gao Yi like her life depended on it. Her sleeves were already torn, and Gao Yi had left injuries all over her, but she still refused to let go.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Wei Lan ran out as fast as she could to look for rope.

"Let go of me!" Gao Yi yelled suddenly. His yell caused Wei Lan to stop in her tracks.

"Let go of me…" Gao Yi's eyes were blood red. This sudden attack of his drug addiction had already taken away what was left of his sanity.

"Gao Yi, endure it. You must endure it." Xia Ruoxin had no choice but to hug his body as tightly as she could.

'Bam!' Gao Yi swung her to the wall, and her head had hit it first. Instantly, everything became pitch-black; and she fell unconscious.

"Give me! Give me!"

He held out his hand and shook Xia Ruoxin's shoulders repeatedly. Right now, perhaps he could not recognize anyone in his eyes. All he knew was what he wanted. He wanted those things, those things that would end his suffering. His body was as though it was bitten by all sorts of insects and bugs; it was itchy, numb, painful… so painful.

"Give me." He shook Xia Ruoxin's shoulders with his might. He used so much force that his fingers had almost broken her collarbone. "Give me! Now!" He yelled at the top of his voice.

"I don't have it." Xia Ruoxin pushed Gao Yi's arms with all her might.

"Gao Yi, calm down. You are a doctor; you are a doctor that saves people. You will get through this. You definitely will."

"Leave!"

Gao Yi did not want to hear any of this nonsense. He raised his hand and slapped Xia Ruoxin on her right cheek. Then, he went absolutely crazy and slapped her once again; and as if that did not dissipate his anger, he held onto the neck of the woman in front of him tightly. It was as though this was the only way—and perhaps it really was the only way—for him to feel a bit better, for him to dissipate his anger.

Xia Ruoxin's face started turning green, and she felt her life was being sucked away from her. She struggled repeatedly and madly. She wanted to push away the hands strangling her. She wanted air.

"Xiao Yi!" Wei Lan was petrified when she came in and saw Gao Yi strangling Xia Ruoxin.

She hurried over and pulled Gao Yi's hand. However, the Gao Yi now did not recognize anyone. He did not know who she was or who anyone was.

Wei Lan bit herself, picked up a lamp from the floor, and smashed it against the back of her son's head. Gao Yi's hand released its grip, and he fell on the floor. However, his weak face was contorted in a scary manner, and the veins in his arms were exposed. One could tell how much pain he was in.

"Ruoxin, are you okay?" Wei Lan hurriedly helped Xia Ruoxin up and found out that she had injuries all over her body; even her face was swollen.

"Let's not talk about this first." Xia Ruoxin did not care much about her own injuries. She took the rope and tied Gao Yi tightly. After they were done, Wei Lan wiped her tears and started packing the things on the floor and cleaning the floor. At that moment, except for the bed, the room had nothing else in it; and Gao Yi was tied tightly to the bed.

He was still unconscious, but from his breathing, one could feel that his mental state. His body was on the verge of death. The torture was a living hell.

Xia Ruoxin had checked, and it said that sometimes, when the drug addiction kicked in, one might not be able to resist the urge and commit suicide.

She checked the ropes on Gao Yi once again. No matter what, she had to help him get rid of the drug addiction.

Suddenly, Gao Yi opened his eyes. "Let me go! Ah… let me go…" he shouted repeatedly. Every muscle on his body was shaking, and every sound he made was like the grunts of a beast. It shocked Rainy as well as Wei Lan. Wei Lan held tightly to the child that was scared until her face was as pale as a sheet.

"Granny, what happened to Daddy?" Rainy tugged Wei Lan's sleeves lightly.

She did not understand what was going on. Why was Daddy not out? Why was Mommy ignoring her?

"It's okay, Daddy and Mommy are watching the television." Wei Lan wiped her own tears before pressing Rainy's head against her chest. What to do…? What to do…? Her line of sight became a blur.

The tears she had dropped by then was more than that in her entire life.

What could she do? What exactly could she do for her son?
