Jiang Bei raised his head in a daze and looked at his brother-in-law who hated him to the extreme. He wanted to say something.

However, Xu Xiaoqiang did not want to waste any more time with him. He turned his head and said to Xu Xinrong, “I’ll go pay dad’s fees first.”

“I’ll go with you.” Xu Xinrong also stood up and left with Xu Xiaoqiang.

At this time, Jiang Bei was holding 1,000 yuan in his hand and leaning against the bench weakly. The back of his head was pressed against the cold wall of the hospital. It was as if the cold could wake him up.

“Daddy… mom is still unhappy,” Wanwan suddenly said.

“Wanwan, I am useless, but I will work hard.” Jiang Bei bent down and attempted to carry his daughter, but he was too weak.

Wanwan was already three years old, but she weighed only two kg. She was much thinner than a normal child, but even so, Jiang Bei did not even have the strength to carry her.

Jiang Bei supported himself and slowly slid down to the ground. Then, he hugged his daughter.

Tears finally flowed out of his eyes.

“Daddy is great. You defeated the bad guys and protected me. You also earned money to help mommy. You.. have changed a lot.” Wanwan’s voice entered Jiang Bei’s ears, causing his heart that was filled with wounds to slowly heal.

“You must work hard. Mommy will definitely forgive you. I believe in you.” Wanwan gently patted Jiang Bei’s back and comforted him.

“I… know…” Jiang Bei’s voice broke. He wanted to make his tone more stable, but he couldn’t.

“Daddy, don’t cry. If you cry, you are not a good boy anymore.”

“I’m not crying. I am just happy. I’m not a completely useless person. At least, you still believe in me, right?” Jiang Bei asked softly, even though he was trying very hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.

But the child in his arms still touched the softest place in his heart, the weak spot that needed to be protected the most.

The tears slid down silently.

He was a person, a person with emotions and desires. Even if he started a new life, what he wanted was so simple. He just wanted a harmonious and beautiful family, just like what Wanwan wanted and Xu Xinrong wanted in the past.

Yes, even if he was a bastard and a scumbag in the past, his daughter still accepted him if he changed.

“So you have to work hard. I… don’t want mommy and daddy to be separated. Daddy, can you work harder? Just make mommy happy, okay?” Wanwan asked softly.

“I will work hard.” Jiang Bei covered his mouth. He was afraid that he would break down and cry out loud.

It was as if there was a ray of light that suddenly cut through the thick haze and shone into his heart, making him no longer despair.

I will give them the best life. I have to work harder to make this marriage work. I don’t want to experience the pain again!

Jiang Bei clenched his fists and swore in his heart.

When Xu Xinrong and Xu Xiaoqiang came back, they saw Jiang Bei and Wanwan sitting on the bench. He was still holding the 1,000 yuan in his hand, and he was leaning back on the chair as if he was asleep.

“Mommy, daddy is asleep…” Wanwan made a hush gesture and said softly.

Xu Xinrong glanced at Jiang Bei and didn’t say much. Compared to the coldness on her face that afternoon, her brows were tightly knitted.

She was conflicted, especially when she saw her daughter gently wiping the tears on the man’s face. Her heart was in turmoil again.

Did he cry? Why? Was it because of her, or because of her daughter? Or something else? Xu Xinrong couldn’t help but think.

“Do you still want to divorce him?” Xu Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but ask.

He wanted to ask just now, but when he saw his sister’s face, he didn’t say it out loud. But now, he couldn’t help it.

“In the past… if he had 10,000 yuan, he would never have given it away. He hasn’t worked for so many years. Why did he suddenly want to earn money?” Xu Xiaoqiang seemed to be talking to himself and asking Xu Xinrong at the same time.

“Did the divorce shock him? He seems to have changed completely in a day.”

“No matter what decision you make, I will support you. But what if he has really changed? You have to think carefully. Wanwan is still young. If the divorce really happens, she will be affected for the rest of her life. When she has friends and meets a man in the future, and when they find out that she grew up in a single-parent household…”

Xu Xiaoqiang did not continue, but it was already clear. It was so clear that Xu Xinrong had no choice but to reconsider.

Xu Xinrong did not answer. She just looked quietly at her daughter and the man who was already asleep on the chair.

He seemed to be very tired.

She was silent for a long time before she finally raised her head..
