His Beloved Treasure

Everything went dark all of a sudden!

If losing her mother at the age of seven was an accident, was she now at risk of unexpectedly losing her father as well?

For seventeen years, she had not called him ”Dad” even once!

But this did not mean she genuinely hoped she would no longer have a father from now on.

He could be anywhere in the world – that was acceptable, but he had to be alive.

The two women who had answered the call were already running rapidly towards the elevator, and when they got to the upstairs operating room, Uncle Wang was sitting there in despair, with injuries on his face and thick bandages wrapped around his arm.

”Miss!”

Uncle Wang stood up immediately as he saw Qin Mu approaching, wanting to apologize to her, but suddenly he found himself lost for words.

”Uncle Wang, how is my dad?”

Qin Mu could see that Uncle Wang was very nervous, but she was no less anxious herself.

”He has been in the operating room for nearly half an hour now.” Uncle Wang turned his head towards the door to the operating room, his voice trembling.

With his head bowed, Uncle Wang thought back to the car crash: he had glanced at the rearview mirror for just a second or two, and by the time he looked forward, the large truck at the corner appeared out of nowhere, as if it was heading straight for them.

At that moment, Qin Haiming was sitting in the back, looking at documents. By the time he looked up, the truck seemed to have already crashed straight into his field of vision.

But Uncle Wang was lucky; he wasn’t seriously hurt. Contrarily, Qin Haiming in the back, who hadn’t buckled his seatbelt, was propelled forward from the back seat due to the force of the impact.

Helian Hao had been by Qin Mu’s side all along, noticing her reddened eyes and trembling hands, she stepped forward and firmly grabbed Qin Mu’s hand.

Qin Mu turned to look into her reassuring eyes but couldn’t help but feel so frightened that she tensed her jaw tightly and lowered her eyes, not daring to look up again.

A nurse stepped out from inside, with Helian Hao gripping Qin Mu’s hand tightly.

”I’ll go check it out!”

Qin Mu faintly heard these words.

Even after Helian Hao had gone in, Qin Mu remained on edge, asking Uncle Wang to go to the ward, but he refused to leave, so Uncle Wang eventually sat on a seat against the wall, while Qin Mu stood against the wall herself, nervously clutching her right elbow with her left hand.

She tried hard to calm herself down, pinching her arm, but her head drooped lower and lower, and her body began to shake more intensely.

For so many years, she wanted nothing to do with him.

For so many years, she felt that ”father” was nothing more than a term to her.

For so many years, having lost a father’s love, she became numb to any feelings towards this man, her father.

But now, she was beginning to care more about him bit by bit.

She had tried to get along well with him for the time they could be together.

But why did he get into a car crash just as she was making an effort?

As Helian Hao did not come out from the operating room, Qin Mu, for some reason, thought of how he used to hold her and comfort her when she was little and suddenly became so nervous that she lost control, leaning against the wall, looking at the door to the operating room, embracing herself, and slowly crouching down on the ground.

Involuntarily, she was filled with panic, tension, and sobs.

Even if love was not possible, she did not wish to lose him.

Being all alone in this world is truly lonely.

Seeing her like that, Uncle Wang couldn’t help but let tears fall down his face.

But Uncle Wang couldn’t afford to think too much about the issues between father and daughter, as he was overwhelmed with guilt and self-reproach.

Half an hour had elapsed by the time Helian Hao came out of the operating room. Not seeing Qin Mu outside, she accidentally turned and saw the girl huddled against the wall, shaking. Helian Hao felt a pang in her heart and then walked over to squat beside her and hold her in her arms.

Qin Mu, sensing it was her, quickly looked up, her face baptized with tears, looking at Helian Hao.

Helian Hao cupped her face with both hands, wiping away the tears, ”Don’t be so nervous for now, there shouldn’t be any danger to his life.”

Hearing her words, Qin Mu still couldn’t see Helian Hao’s face clearly, but she couldn’t help but embrace Helian Hao tightly, her knees unconsciously kneeling on the ground.

”Be good! Be strong, uncle will be fine.”

Helian Hao raised her hand and stroked her back firmly, understanding why Qin Mu was so distressed. She herself had been terrified while inside, as Qin Haiming’s head injury was no simple matter.

But now, she dared not tell Qin Mu the truth.

Inside, a man approaching his sixties was enduring torture over and over again.

More than an hour passed, and still, no one came out of the operating room, but Qin Mu had already calmed down.
