By the ti Xu y woke up in the morning, Ye Jie had left the room to buy so breakfast for her. She looked around and found a sticky note on the side table. It read: ’Baby, I’m going out to buy so breakfast for you. You haven’t eaten anything since last night. I’ll be back soon.’
Xu y smiled reading the note and she didn’t realize that her father had woken up and he was staring at her smile intently. Xu Cheng felt inexplicable happiness in his heart seeing that she was alright now.
Feeling a gaze at the side of her face, Xu y lifted her head and saw her father smiling softly at her.
"Dad, are you okay? Let call the doctor," she ran out of the room to get a doctor before Xu Cheng could even say anything.
She ca back with the doctor and stood at the side while the doctor examined Xu Cheng. After a while when the doctor left the room before instructing a few precautions, Xu Cheng beckoned Xu y to co closer with his finger.
Xu y took small steps and ca beside her father’s bed with a lowered head. "Did you get hurt?" She heard her father’s voice making her lift her face. She shook her head slowly and stayed quiet. "That’s good." Xu Cheng said and turned his face to look out the window at the side.
"Dad!" After much contemplation, Xu y managed to voice out. "Why did you save ?"
Xu Cheng stared at her face and raised his hand to touch her head saying, "If I won’t save my own daughter then who else am I supposed to save?"
The turmoil of feelings inside Xu y’s hearts was getting uncontrollable. "But you never saved before. You always thought that I’m not your daughter." Xu y felt bitter while complaining for the first ti in her life to her father.
Xu Cheng heaved a long sigh but stayed quiet. "Dad, are you still going to stay silent? Even now after everything that happened?"
Xu Cheng knew that he won’t be able to hide anything for long now. His daughter was smart enough to figure out a lot of things.
"What if dad tells you that he never believed the ones who said that you’re not my daughter?" Xu y’s eyes widened up.
"Then why did you ignored for so long?" She asked.
"Because I know Fu Lan better than you." Xu y frowned. "She’d been obsessed with for a long ti now and when I ca back from Country F with your mother, Fu Lan went crazy thinking of several ways to get . In the end, I fell for her psychotic plan and Xu Liqing is the result of that plan." He longingly stared into the distance before continuing, "I saw how she always tried to chide you without any reason or rhy and I thought that perhaps, after marrying her obsession will be over and let you live in peace."
He shook his head at the mory. "I was wrong. Instead of letting you live in peace, she started taking advantage of her position. Do you rember that you fell down the stairs once?"
"Yeah... It was my 8th birthday and I went rolling down the stairs." Xu y felt hurt at the mory.
"One day before that I took you out to the park." Xu y clearly rembered that. It was one of her good mories with her father. "When Fu Lan got to know that I took you out, she planned to make you fall down the stairs."
Xu y stared dumbfoundedly at her father. "But why?" She questioned.
"I told you she’s psychotic. She couldn’t see that I was spending ti with you or showering you with love. She’s one of those crazy jealous people. I never touched her in all these years of our marriage and that might have added another reason for her hate for you. She believed that your mother was the one who ca between her and but in reality, Fu Lan was the one who ca between us and tore us apart." Xu y silently listened to her father’s voice which seed to have aged in a single night.
"Since I couldn’t help you by myself, I asked Fu Shuang to take care of you because I saw the way he cared for you. I know he wasn’t but Fu Lan took control of Xu Corporations in so way and if I had intervened, she would have killed you a long ti ago." He took a pause to catch his breath while Xu y passed a glass of water to him.
After soothing his parched throat, he continued again, "I tried sending you to boarding school to save you but even that didn’t work much. Until the day that hotel incident happened, I didn’t even know that she’d been trying to drive you insane through drugs. The worst part was that I had to choose between sending you to the rehab or the prison." Xu y’s heart quivered a bit. Xu Cheng stroked her hair saying, "I chose the rehab because I could save you there. I bought all the people of the rehab center but the drugs and that incident had such an effect on your mind that you started believing that you’re in a prison. The more you tried to kill yourself, the more I tried to save you in that year."
"But it changed when you’re caught after running away from the rehab. You started acting normally and it was a huge accomplishnt. One day, a person ca to and told that he can save you. I didn’t believe that person but he told how the changes in you were brought by his care. The only thing, he asked for was that I allow him to take you away from the rehab and to save you I chose him as my last hope."
"Dad, who was that person?" Xu y’s heart beat like a drum against her chest.
