Chapter 471: 472: Dad is going to find your mom
Xia Liangdong had indeed woken up.
His head tilted slightly.
Yet, his eyes were slowly opening.
Xia Yangyang was standing at the door, her vision blurred by instant tears.
But over there, Xia Liangdong was slowly raising a hand.
Xia Yangyang hurried over and took Xia Liangdong’s hand: “Dad.”
Just uttering these two words reduced her to tears.
Xia Liangdong’s breathing was weak. Every breath seemed to use up all his strength.
“Yangyang, don’t cry.”
Xia Liangdong mustered the strength to utter these words.
Although it was difficult to speak and required careful discernment to hear what he was saying.
But Xia Liangdong forcibly removed his oxygen mask.
Xia Yangyang tried to stop him: “Dad, what are you doing?”
Xia Liangdong seemed to take deep breaths, then calmed down: “My girl, Dad wants to talk to you.”
Xia Yangyang looked at Xia Liangdong.
The elation of just knowing he had woken up was gradually fading.
At the same time, an inexplicable worry and fear were rising.
Although Xia Liangdong was awake, something about him was not right.
Xia Yangyang wanted to call the doctor.
But her hand was held by Xia Liangdong: “My girl, stay and talk to your dad.”
In the end, Xia Yangyang sat down: “Dad, you just woke up and need to rest.”
Xia Liangdong seemed to be slowly recovering, and his speech was much clearer after removing the oxygen mask: “Yangyang, all the things you’ve told me during this time, I’ve heard them.”
Xia Yangyang was shocked.
During this time, she had been talking to Xia Liangdong every day.
Telling him many things, from childhood to adulthood.
She said so much without ever receiving a response.
She thought she was just expressing her feelings.
But to Xia Yangyang’s surprise, Xia Liangdong had heard everything.
“Yangyang, Dad is sorry.”
Xia Yangyang gripped Xia Liangdong’s hand tightly: “Dad, let’s put the past behind us. As long as you get better, I forgive you. We’ll live a good life together from now on.”
Xia Liangdong’s voice was weak but seemed to carry a hint of laughter: “Yangyang, Dad can’t make it anymore. Dad is going to find your mom.”
Xia Yangyang’s heart clenched: “No, that’s not going to happen, Dad. You’ve just woken up, and you’ll be perfectly fine in the future. Please rest now.”
Xia Liangdong shook his head: “Dad has slept for too long. I don’t want to sleep anymore. I want to hear you talk.”
Xia Liangdong’s voice was weak: “Okay, I’ll keep talking, but you promise me you’ll hang in there. The doctor will be here soon.”
Xia Liangdong cracked a slight smile: “Dad has this daughter of his, and I feel my life is complete. I’m just sorry, sorry to you and your mom.”
“Dad, stop talking,” Xia Yangyang sensed something was wrong.
Xia Liangdong’s gaze started to become unfocused.
“Dad, please don’t scare me!”
Xia Yangyang quickly placed the oxygen mask back on Xia Liangdong.”Dad, please stay awake, don’t sleep, okay?”
Xia Yangyang had a bad feeling.
She was afraid that if Xia Liangdong fell asleep now, he might never wake up again.
But, she didn’t want that.
She was so happy when she first found out that her dad had finally woken up, she was so happy.
Xia Liangdong’s voice became blurred: “Yangyang, you must be happy, promise Dad, you must be happy. Forget about the past…”
