Chapter 190 - A Journey Through Memory Lane (1/2)

By the time Xu Mey woke up in the morning, Ye Jie had left the room to buy some breakfast for her. She looked around and found a sticky note on the side table. It read: 'Baby, I'm going out to buy some breakfast for you. You haven't eaten anything since last night. I'll be back soon.'

Xu Mey 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 Mey lifted her head and saw her father smiling softly at her.

"Dad, are you okay? Let me call the doctor," she ran out of the room to get a doctor before Xu Cheng could even say anything.

She came 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 Mey to come closer with his finger.

Xu Mey took small steps and came 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 Mey managed to voice out. "Why did you save me?"

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 Mey's hearts was getting uncontrollable. "But you never saved me before. You always thought that I'm not your daughter." Xu Mey felt bitter while complaining for the first time 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 Mey's eyes widened up.
