Chen Xiao sat on the sofa and watched Liu Xixi clean up the table. He wanted to say something to Liu Xixi, but he hesitated.

”Chen Xiao, if you have something to say, then hurry up and say it. What is a man doing there?” Liu Xixi now had the appearance of a manly woman. She had completely forgotten about the temperament of a lady.

Seeing Chen Xiao's expression, she knew that this man had something to say to her.

”Xi Xi, I heard from a friend in the country that Liu Chengze changed to a malignant lymphoma. You …” Do you want to go back and take a look? ”

Although Liu Xixi didn't say it, Chen Xiao knew that she was worried about Liu Chengze, so he sent people to pay close attention to the situation of the Liu Family. Now that Liu Chengze was sick, he should tell her no matter what.

Liu Xixi stopped washing the dishes. She turned around to look at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with disbelief.

”My dad? Is he sick? ” Liu Xixi repeated what Chen Xiao said, his voice was filled with disbelief.

”Yes.” Chen Xiao confirmed his answer.

Liuxi lowered his eyes. ”I'm a bit tired. I'll go back and rest.”

Chen Xiao looked at the emaciated back of Liu Xi Xi. He knew that being tied down by his family would always make him feel helpless.

Chen Xiao had a fleeting thought. He wanted to hide Liu Chengze's illness, but he didn't want Liu Xixi to regret it one day.

Liu Xixi was in the bathroom, dipping her head into the water until she felt she was losing her breath. Then she stuck her head out of the water.

Right now, she was completely helpless as she curled up her body in the bathtub, looking like a homeless orphan.

Chen Xiao's words were still echoing in her ears, ”Malignant tumor?” Malignant tumor? Initially, she had thought that these illnesses were things that were too far away for her. But now, they had happened to his father.

She didn't want to go back to the place that had once pierced her heart, but how could she bear to see her father lying on the sickbed without seeing him for the last time?

She only stood up when the water in the bathtub became cold. She took a towel from the side and casually wiped her hair.

She took out her cell phone and dialed Liu Chengze's number. This was the first time she called home since coming to Toronto.

He had originally thought that no one would be able to pick up the phone. However, he didn't expect that it would only ring a few times before answering the call.

”Hello?” Liu Xixi had unpredictably shed tears the size of beans. This was the sound she had heard for more than twenty years.

She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.

Liu Chengze held his phone tightly and asked tentatively, ”Is it Cissy?”

Liu Xixi could no longer hold it in. ”Dad, I'm sorry …”

”Silly child.” Liu Chengze's voice was trembling slightly, and his words were filled with tears, ”Why haven't you heard from me for all these years? Do you know how worried I am about you? ”

Perhaps it was the illness that had worn away the man's edges, but Liussi could not feel the determination and decisiveness of his father.
