When the bodyguards saw her, they all bowed and said, “Hello, Young Miss.”

Song Nuanyi did not have the time to respond to them. She rushed straight into the ward and immediately saw the old man lying on the hospital bed. Elder Song was criticizing the food in the hospital for not being delicious. Beside him stood the maid, Mother Wang. She was holding a box of food in her hand and was at a loss.

Both of them turned to look at Song Nuanyi who had rushed into the ward.

Elder Song snorted when he saw her. He closed his eyes and turned his head away. It was obvious that he was still angry.

“Miss, you… Why are you crying?” Mother Wang cried out in surprise. She did not expect to see Song Nuanyi’s red, crying eyes.

When Elder Song heard this, he quickly turned to look at her. He was also stunned when he saw her appearance. After all, he had not seen her cry since she was five years old. His expression was still ugly as he said coldly, “Why are you crying? I’m not dead yet!”

The word ‘dead’ finally caused Song Nuanyi to break. She covered her mouth and squatted by the door. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes. When she saw her father sitting on the hospital bed just now, she wanted to kneel on the ground and thank God that her father was still alive and well.

“Young Miss, what are you doing? Old Master is fine, isn’t he?” Mother Wang quickly went forward to help her up. Mother Wang had watched her grow up. She had always been obedient and sensible since she was young. She had never cried or made a fuss. This was the first time she had seen her cry like this.

Mother Wang could not help but look at Elder Song. As if she was blaming him, she said, “Old Master, please don’t be so harsh. Young Miss was so worried about you that she was in such a hurry. This is Young Miss’s filial piety.”

Elder Song moved his mouth but did not say anything.

Song Nuanyi continued to shed tears as Mother Wang helped her to a chair. She was really frightened just now. She thought that she would never see her father again.

Mother Wang placed a tissue next to her hand and sighed as she walked out of the ward, leaving the room for this awkward father and daughter pair. She knew more than anyone about the matters between this father and daughter, and she felt pity and regret. If Old Miss Fu Sheng was still alive, she would have been heartbroken to see the father and daughter pair like this.

Grandfather song stubbornly refused to look at her. He said to the wall, “Didn’t you disown me as your father? Why are you still here?”

Song Nuanyi did not respond to his words. After a while, the air became still. Elder Song could not help but turn his head and meet a pair of red and swollen eyes. He paused slightly and said stiffly, “You–”

However, what happened next caused him to be so shocked that he could not speak.

Song Nuanyi immediately sat on the stool beside the bed and placed her head on the bed. She gently touched Elder Song’s hand with her cheek across the blanket. This was the first time that the father and daughter had such close contact.

“Father, you have to live well.”

The originally warm scene was completely destroyed by these words.

Elder Song’s face twitched. To him, these words sounded like a bad omen.

However, he did not know how serious and determined song Nuanyi was when she said those words. She really hoped that he could live well.

“You came here to tell me this?” Elder Song asked.

Song Nuanyi did not even raise her head. She was still lying on the bed and nodded.

“I’m fine. You’ve never cried since you were young. Why are you crying like this today?” Elder Song’s face started to soften.

Song Nuanyi did not expect her father to still remember the things that happened when she was a child. A faint warmth spread between the two of them.

“Since you’re back, then make some preparations. Come to the Cao family with me tomorrow. We’ll discuss the wedding day again,” Elder Song said again.
