Du Liqing looked at the unmoving father Du lying on the bed. Her eyes were sore, but she was unwilling to shift her gaze elsewhere.
Clutching his father's thin and weak hand tightly, his recent coma had long since become as thin as a stick. Even his skin had gradually lost all color.
"Dad, I'll be obedient in the future. Can you wake up quickly?"
Du Yan's green eyes became slightly moist as he touched the hand that only had bones left. The feeling was completely different from the touch of his father's hand in the past. An icy feeling spread throughout her body, causing her heart to gradually grow cold.
At this moment, Du Ruqing really hoped that her father would wake up, but she couldn't do anything about it. Even doctors were unable to treat her, and even she didn't know any medical skills. How could she wake up a person who was lying unconscious on a bed?
The bitterness in her heart caused Du Ruqing to be unable to resist reminiscing about the past few years of Father Du's existence. Her eyes suddenly became a little misty.
"Dad, all these years you have been taking care of me and the company by yourself, it has been tough for you. "You haven't even waited for me to repay you. How can you lie here unconscious?"
Every scene in her mind was the selfless love Du Liqing had for her father. The smile and love on his face was so precious that she was filled with nostalgia at this moment.
These past few days, she had experienced the suffering that Du Ruqing had gone through in the past. Now that she experienced it one by one, she realized what was called suffering through luck. At the same time, she understood more and more about the frowning appearance of her father.
Now that he thought about it, it made Du Liqing's heart ache. His fingertip lightly touched Father Du's forehead without even the slightest crease, and at the same time, without the slightest tremble. Other than the soft sounds of breathing and heartache, she could not feel any other signs of life at all.
The tears from the corner of her eyes rolled down her fair face. She didn't know why, but she could vaguely feel a sour sensation on her nose. As long as he thought that Father Du might not wake up, Du Ruqing's grievance would immediately burst forth.
"Dad, I'm sorry, it's my fault. "I should not have known people so well, treating a wolf as a good wolf and bringing that animal home. It was my unfilial act, unable to defeat the family business that you had been protecting for your entire life."
Du Ruqing buried his head in the blanket and leaned on Father Du's chest. He let those tears soak the thin blanket as he sobbed softly. The existence of Sun Jiangyuan that caused the Du Family to turn into the Sun family made her feel guilty.
There was a pleading tone to her words, but she could not fall unconscious like her father. The pressure on her made it hard for her to breathe, but she had no way of escaping.
Would the others still be able to be trusted?
Du Ruqing unconsciously began questioning herself in her heart. Lu Juyan's figure suddenly appeared in her mind and instantly vanished. The corner of his lips curled up into a sneer as an unimaginable sense of anticipation filled his heart.
The variety of life made Du Liqing not know any contact. After five years of deceit and betrayal, Du Ruqing was no longer able to hand over his broken heart without any precautions.
"Dad, don't leave me here alone, okay!" The sudden change in mood caused tears to roll down his face. His sobbing voice was intermittent.
Du Liqing did not dare to raise her head. She was afraid of seeing the sad expression on her father's face, even though she knew that he had not woken up yet. Just like when she was a child, she shamelessly crawled into her father's embrace to get his protection, only to discover that he didn't even have the ability to lift his arms to hold her.
She wanted to snatch back the Du Group's assets, but she didn't have the capital to fight back. She didn't even have the resources to fight, so how could she fight back?
The reality was cruel. The current Du Yun was penniless. Even if he were to walk on the street, he would probably be scolded by everyone right?
Chun Jiao brought up a touch of bitterness, stubbornly suppressing the tears on her face and raising her head to look at Father Du. The resolution in her heart surged out once again. She told herself that she absolutely could not give up!
"Dad!" Coincidentally, his line of sight landed on Father Du's electrocardiogram display. He didn't know if it was because Du Liqing's words had provoked him, or because he had encountered something unusual in his unconscious dream.
The heart rate meter was rising and falling very fast, causing Du Chengqing to turn pale with fright. The next second, he suddenly wiped the tears off his face as excitement surged through his heart. She didn't know if it was good or bad, but she felt she had to call the doctor.
"Ah, doctor, come here!" His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly stood on the edge of the bed. He pressed the button on the headboard with his trembling hand and called out to the communicator, hoping for people to hurry over.
It was unknown if it was due to the excitement or an illusion, but Du Liqing unconsciously felt that his father suddenly squeezed her hand. The gentle touch made her panic as she stared blankly at him.
The rhythm of his awakening made Du Ruqing, who had originally stopped crying, shed tears once again. Her thin lips trembled and the disbelief in her eyes caused Du Liqing's current emotions to explode once again.
Regardless of whether Father Du was awake or not, he suddenly pounced onto him. A hint of joy and panic flashed past his eyes. He did not want to raise his head to see if Father Du was still unconscious.
The suppressed emotions in her heart forced her to cry once more. As she choked with sobs, she whispered to her father, "Dad, can you stop sleeping, okay?"
In front of the hospital, Lu Juyan had long since returned home after finishing his business with Excellent Era. He didn't find any trace of Du Liqing, which made him panic. Suddenly, he found out that Du Liqing's existence was a mediator to his mood.
The thoughts in Lu Juyan's mind continuously drifted about, and he suddenly guessed that Du Liqing would arrive here. The horse rushed over and saw what was happening.
Lu Juyan had clearly seen every move she had made. Every tear that fell was like a knife that stabbed into his heart, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, Lu Juyan didn't enter the ward to disturb Du Liqing's confessions. Instead, he hid to the side and eavesdropped on her words, as he usually did.
The more she heard, the more her heart ached. She couldn't help but want to rush forward and hug Du Ruqing to comfort her, but he didn't take that step. Suddenly, Lu Juyan realized that Du Liqing seemed to be avoiding him, causing him to feel a bit sad.
"Idiot, you can actually rely on me."
Hearing Du Liqing's painful cries, Lu Juyan's brows furrowed into the shape of a square. Her heart throbbed with pain, and the emotions in her heart started to feel even more protective towards her. As he inadvertently muttered these words in a low voice, his eyes were filled with love for Du Liqing.
