Chapter 850: I Must Become Stronger
“I’m scared. I’m so scared…” Su Jiu grabbed Rong Si’s shirt in a death grip. She was shaking due to crying so much. “If… if Daddy’s gone, I don’t know what I’ll do…”
Su Jiu lost control of her emotions and fell into a spiral of fear and self-blame.
If only she had listened to her father instead of arguing that there was no need to bring bodyguards because Song Xinyan and Li Mohan already had them; she just didn’t want to be followed by a group of people when she went out. Perhaps, she wouldn’t have been in danger and her father wouldn’t have been hurt…
She was the one who had been disobedient. If her father died, she would not be able to escape responsibility!
Although Su Jiu said that she was afraid, Rong Si did not know what he could do other than hug her tightly and comfort her.
Once again, he vowed to himself that he would become strong enough to protect Su Jiu on his own, so strong that no one would dare touch her!
Never had he been more desperate to protect someone.
And he wanted to protect her for the rest of her life!
Su Jiu looked up from his embrace. “I want to see Daddy…”
She started to get out of bed. Rong didn’t stop her. Instead, he picked up her shoes and knelt to put them on for her. Then, he followed her out of the ward.
Seeing Su Jiu walk out of the ward, Han Siye immediately came up to her and looked at her worriedly. “Little Jiu, how are you? Are you alright?”
Su Jiu said nothing, just nodded.
Han Sye saw her pale face and swollen, blank eyes, and his heart tightened. He really wanted to hug her and comfort her as Rong Si did just now. Unfortunately, he knew that Little Jiu wouldn’t accept it.
Su Jiu looked at Han Siye and hoarsely said, “Where’s Daddy? I want to see him.”
She finally looked at himself. A trace of satisfaction surged in Han Siye’s heart. He immediately said, “He’s still in surgery. Little Jiu, I’ll take you there.”
As he spoke, he tried to take her hand. But before he touched her, he realized a sharp gaze. Instinctively, he looked over. As he had expected, it was Rong Si.
That look was a warning as if Little Jiu was already his girlfriend.
Han Siye retracted his hand angrily.?Fine, if I can’t hold her hand, then this guy better not think about doing so either!
If he dares touch Little Jiu again, I’ll stop him no matter what. Why should I let this person keep taking advantage of Little Jiu?
Su Jiu followed Han Siye to the operating theater and saw the red light above it indicating that the surgery was still ongoing. She leaned against the wall and recalled how her father had restrained Qin Feng and tried his best to make her leave first. Her vision blurred again.
Her father had always loved and doted on her. This time, he was even willing to throw his life away for her.
Su Jiu had been okay with dying. She had come to this world and met such a good father. She had been fortunate to be his daughter.
Taking a deep breath, she reminded herself to be strong. She couldn’t keep crying. Every time her father saw her cry, he felt bad. So, Su Jiu raised her hand and rubbed hard at her blurry eyes. She leaned against the wall and waited for the surgery to end while she prayed for her father.
Rong Si and Han Siye looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would not be able to take it if Su Shengjing did not make it…
The atmosphere in the corridor was suffocating. Everyone’s expression was so heavy. They held their breaths and stared at the red light above the operating theater, hoping that it would turn off soon and Su Shengjing would come out.
But Su Jiu was afraid that if someone came out, she would get the worst news.
