"If I could, could I be your father for the rest of my life?"
His voice was hoarser than before, and he held her hand in return with a hint of caution.
I didn't dare look into her eyes, so I lowered my head and looked at her small hands.
These are the same hands I've held since I was very little, and now those little hands have grown up.
Even so, in his eyes, his daughter was still the same little girl he used to be, someone who needed his protection.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him, deeply moved and excited. She finally let go of her former restraint, rushed into his arms, hugged him, and cried out, "Daddy!"
dad……
What a lovely and heartwarming nickname.
Tang Shengze breathed heavily, reached out, and hugged her tightly.
He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at that moment; it seemed that no words could describe his emotion and lingering fear.
After he calmed down, he opened the door to his room and went downstairs, only to find the living room empty.
At that moment, it felt like losing the most important thing in life, something that couldn't be brought back.
His youngest daughter died, and Yaoyao is gone too...
I went upstairs like a walking corpse, and before I knew it, I arrived at Yao Yao's room. I stood at the door for a long time in silence, but I didn't dare to knock.
Too many expectations, too much reluctance to part.
He was afraid; he was knocking on a door that would never be opened again.
I stood at the doorway, filled with a mix of emotions.
Unexpectedly, the door opened.
God knows how excited and nervous he was at that moment; it's indescribable...
Thankfully, Yao Yao is still alive.
She didn't leave.
At that moment, he thanked God for keeping Yaoyao.
Tang Yaoyao felt his body trembling; it was a slight movement caused by a deep-seated fear.
She felt sorry for him and could only hug him like she did when they were children, to let him know that his daughter was still alive.
Regardless, she will always be Tang Shengze's daughter.
"dad."
Her voice was choked with emotion as she tried to control herself and cried out, "Dad, the moment I learned to speak and called you 'Dad' for the first time, it was already destined that I would be your daughter, and that will never change no matter what."
Hearing his daughter's voice, he finally calmed down and whispered, "Thank you."
Tang Yaoyao stepped out of his embrace, took a tissue from the coffee table, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Dad, I should be thanking you."
He remained silent and did not speak.
Tang Yaoyao's fear gradually subsided.
Her father didn't abandon her.
This is better than anything else.
She blinked, suppressing her unhappiness, and asked softly, "Dad, what do you plan to do with Lin Hui?"
"I have already had my lawyer draft the divorce agreement. After the divorce, I will send someone to take her back to her hometown."
Tang Yaoyao remembers that her maternal grandparents passed away from illness when she was in high school.
If Lin Hui goes back to her parents' home, which is now empty and she is blind, she will only have a harder time.
There was no pity left in her eyes when she looked at her father.
She nodded: "Stay away from it, and slowly, you'll forget about it."
Tang Shengze lowered his eyes, his gaze full of concern, and asked, "Where are you living now?"
"They live in the Fu family's house."
Although Tang Shengze felt a pang of sadness, he also felt that it was only natural: "That's right, after being separated for so many years, you should spend more time with your parents."
She sensed his sadness: "Dad, promise me one thing, okay?"
