C133 (2/2)

The luggage had already been taken away by Zeng Yi, so she stopped a car by the roadside and drove in the direction of the Pingcheng Cancer Hospital.

Looking out of the window at the unfamiliar and familiar environment, Liuxi found it hard to breathe. Memories she had been trying so hard to forget rushed into her mind like a flood.

She felt like her head was swelling. She didn't know why, but she always felt like this trip back to Ping City wouldn't be peaceful.

The car slowed to a stop by the side of the road. Liu Xixi looked out of the window at the big signboard, which had the words ”Pingcheng Cancer Hospital” written in bold and forceful characters.

She was standing by the side of the road, unable to move a step. The courage she had felt when she flew back from abroad seemed to have been used up in an instant. She didn't even know what she should say to her father when she saw him.

A tentative voice sounded from behind him, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in its tone. ”Liuxi?”

She had heard this voice for nearly 20 years, even if it turned to ash, she would still know it.

”Mom …” ”I'm back …” She turned around. In these six years, Jiang Manwei had aged quite a bit. It was unknown whether it was due to her father's illness, but there were a few deep wrinkles on her face.

”What are you doing back here? Did you come back to get a share when your dad was about to die? ” Jiang Manwei was as sarcastic and sarcastic as ever.

Liu Xixi had long gotten used to her stepmother's attitude. She lowered her head and was not in the mood to argue with Jiang Manwei. ”I heard that my father was sick, so I wanted to come back and take care of him.”

”Hehe, no need to make it sound so good …” Why haven't you called back after so long? I suppose you covet the property in your father's hands? If you have such thoughts, let's see if I won't skin you alive. ”

After Jiang Manwei finished speaking, she did not pay attention to Liu Xixi's expression. Instead, she walked around Liu Xixi and walked towards the inside of the hospital.

Liu Xi followed closely behind Jiang Manwei. The moment they entered the hospital lobby, she could smell the pungent smell of disinfectant. Liu Xi's brows were knitted together. Since she was young, she disliked the smell of the hospital the most.

She had finally walked through all the large and small hospitals in Ping City …

Jiang Manwei stopped at the VIP ward at the end of the corridor. Realizing that Liu Xixi was following behind her, she did not turn around to look at her. She only gave a cold snort and pushed open the door.

Liu Xixi stood in the corridor, not even daring to take the initiative to open the ward's door. She was afraid of Liu Chengze's current appearance.

After a long while, she slowly adjusted her breathing and finally pushed open the door. The first thing she saw was Liu Chengze's frail body.

Liu Xixi looked at her father's slightly obese body, but now, because of his illness, his entire body was sickly, so skinny that it could be described as skin and bones. She covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from crying.

Liu Chengze realized that there was someone at the door. He slowly turned around, and the flesh on his cheeks had already caved in, giving him a feeling as if he had gone through many vicissitudes of life.

When he saw the person by the door, his originally lifeless eyes instantly lit up with a tinge of color. ”Cissy, why did you come back?”
