“Daddy, don’t leave me! Please, I just found you.”

“Dad, I’m begging! You have to hold on!”

…

Wan Xiaosu’s voice filled the hospital corridor. She was sobbing.

Bai Xiong’s stretcher was pushed into the operating room.

Wan Xiaosu sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the red lights above the operating theatre. At that moment, she wanted to die.

How did things turn out like this?

“Don’t cry. Your father wouldn’t be happy to see you crying.” Qin Fu wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

She looked pitiful. It was heartbreaking.

Wan Xiaosu bit her lip and looked up at Qin Fu quietly. Tears kept streaming down her face.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Qin Fu’s waist.

She cried even harder.

Qin Fu was originally a neat freak, but the moment he touched Wan Xiaosu, he was stunned.

He was at a loss. He gently stroked her head and comforted her softly, “It’s okay. It already happened. You have to believe in him. He’s a good person. Nothing will happen to him.”

“Qin Fu… I can’t lose him. I can’t…” Wan Xiaosu gripped his sleeve tightly.

In the past, Wan Xiaosu was unwilling to get close to Qin Fu, but now, she felt that Qin Fu’s shoulders were so strong.

He gave her a sense of security.

Qin Fu comforted her softly.

It was not until the red lights in the operating room went out that Wan Xiaosu got up. She got up too quickly and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Qin Fu helped her up.

Song Lianming took a deep breath and forced a smile. “He’s stable now. Madam Bai is really ruthless. She used a pesticide called paraquat!”

Paraquat?

Wan Xiaosu had never thought that Madam Bai would be so cruel. Did she do that because of her and her mother?

What did her dad do wrong?

What did he do wrong this time?

“Can I see my father, Young Master Song?” Wan Xiaosu bit her lip and looked at Song Lianming expectantly.

Song Lianming shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s not possible at the moment. You can’t see him just yet. Your father’s condition has just improved a little. The residue of paraquat might still worsen Mr. Bai’s health. You need to be prepared.”

“What…” Wan Xiaosu trembled, and she almost collapsed.

His body might still deteriorate.

“Paraquat itself is a poison that has no cure. Our technology is much more advanced now, and we’ve managed to alleviate the toxicity of paraquat. It’s a miracle that he’s alive.” Song Lianming shook his head. There was nothing he could do about this poison.

At least Bai Xiong was alive.

Wan Xiaosu lay in Qin Fu’s arms and could not help but cry softly. At that moment, she was really helpless.

Qin Fu pursed his lips and let her lean against him. He gently stroked her hair.

Song Lianming walked past them.

It had been a week since Bai Xiong woke up. Throughout this period, Wan Xiaosu had not left his side.

Even though she could only see him through the glass, she wanted to be there for him. He was her only family left. She couldn’t lose him.

Qin Fu watched as she became thinner and thinner. A few days ago, she was hospitalized because of her supplements.

She was skinny and haggard now. His heart ached to see her like this.

He brought some food to her.

Wan Xiaosu shook her head. “I don’t have much of an appetite. Thank you. Thank you for taking care of me over the past few days. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”

“Wan Xiaosu, you can’t give up on yourself, understand? You look half alive. I don’t want to see you like this.” Qin Fu brought a spoonful of soup to Wan Xiaosu’s lips.

Wan Xiaosu looked up at Qin Fu. At that moment, she was a little stunned.

This person…

Did he really want to kill her?

Was he really the same man who had forced her to get an abortion?

This felt surreal.

“Have a little. I’ll make sure you get to see your father.” Qin Fu’s tone softened.

Wan Xiaosu opened her mouth and drank some soup. Then, she had some food.

She ate until her stomach was bulging. It tasted good. She liked this type of food.

Qin Fu was a man of his word. He changed into clothes that the hospital personnel wore and escorted her into the ward.

This was a sterile environment.

The moment Bai Xiong saw Wan Xiaosu, he smiled weakly. “Xiaosu… ”

“Daddy!” Wan Xiaosu knelt in front of Bai Xiong, trying to hold back her tears. She didn’t want her father to see her cry.

Bai Xiong stroked her hair and glanced at Qin Fu, who was behind her. He nodded slightly.

Qin Fu returned the nod politely.

Bai Xiong watched her try to keep her tears at bay. For a second, she looked just like her mother.

“You look like your mother, honey.” Bai Xiong remembered all the wonderful times they had shared.

Once, Bai Xiong had fantasized about his future with the person he liked. He had imagined his future to be beautiful.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction. However, some people couldn’t let go of the past.

However, one could get stuck in their memories.

“Daddy, promise me that you’re going to get well soon. I’m begging you.” Wan Xiaosu placed her palm on his cheek and looked at him, forlorn.

Bai Xiong took a deep breath. “I knew the food had been poisoned. I wanted to give her an explanation.”

He was talking about Madam Bai.

Wan Xiaosu looked at Bai Xiong in shock. In order to give Madam Bai an explanation, he had to eat the food even though he knew it had been poisoned?

Or did he eat poisonous food on purpose?

“Daddy, why? Can you tell me why? If you leave, what will happen to me? I won’t have a father. You’re the only family I have left in this world.” Wan Xiaosu could not suppress her emotions.

For a moment, Wan Xiaosu felt like the whole world had abandoned her.

Bai Xiong was about to leave.

Qin Fu came up to her and patted her shoulder gently. “You still have me.”

Those four simple words caused Wan Xiaosu to look at him in astonishment. She rested her head on his shoulder, and her tears flowed silently. She could no longer control them.

Bai Xiong watched the two of them. He knew he wasn’t wrong.

The man before him deserved his daughter. He knew that Young Master Qin would be able to take good care of his daughter.

Love could not be concealed.
