She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I didn't hear clearly what my aunt said next.

I just stood there blankly until someone came over and patted me on the back: "Xu Xu, what's wrong?"

It was Mrs. Zhang Si who had just arrived at the scene.

I was anxious to get in to see my daughter, so I hurriedly got in as soon as the car arrived at the parking lot, leaving Mrs. Zhang Si alone in the parking lot.

Her voice was still gentle, but filled with worry and nervousness: "Is the patient still in the operating room?"

"No, Nannan is fine and is in the ward." I finally came to my senses and whispered.

"I'm glad that everyone is okay." Mrs. Zhang Si breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

At this moment, my aunt stopped sobbing and asked me, "Xuxu, who is this?"

She has never met Mrs. Zhang Si.

"She's my friend, Madam Zhang Si. She was the one who sent me here just now." I also put away my complicated emotions and introduced Madam Zhang Si to my aunt.

The aunt wiped her eyes and bowed to Mrs. Zhang Si gratefully: "Thank you for sending Xuxu here. Thank you for your trouble."

"It's just a small matter. Don't be so formal. You must be Xuxu's aunt. Xuxu mentioned you to me and said that you are her closest family member now." Madam Zhang Si immediately reached out to help her aunt up. She was still so gentle and powerful. "So don't be too sad. Take care of yourself, otherwise, Xuxu will be even more worried."

"Okay, okay, I'll take good care of myself and not let Xuxu worry." Aunt's mood seemed to have stabilized a lot because of Madam Zhang Si's words.

My originally complicated and confused emotions calmed down, and my aunt took us to the ward first.

In the ward, my uncle was looking after our daughter, who was sleeping soundly, so we walked lightly and stopped by the bed to check on her.

Nannan was not sleeping well. Her little face was pale, her long and thick eyelashes trembled from time to time, and her little hand outside the quilt was tightly holding one of her uncle's fingers. She was obviously too frightened and lacked a sense of security.

I looked at her furrowed brows, and my heart felt as if it was being squeezed hard by a pair of invisible hands. It hurt so much.

Blame me for not being able to keep her by my side, and also blame me for not being thoughtful enough and not calling to ask about her situation in time.

It was also my fault that I was controlled by my emotions. At that time, I was only angry with Lin Youde and didn’t even reply to the message my aunt sent, nor did I arrange the itinerary for my aunt and her family in advance.

If I had arranged the itinerary for them in advance, or if I had gone back to their hometown with them in person, and I had been there with them, would nothing have happened to our daughter?

I feel sad and regretful!

"When we were going down the mountain, the balloon flew away. My daughter went to chase it, and we tried to stop her, but she couldn't..." My uncle saw me and stuttered to tell me what happened.

His face was not good either. He looked haggard, worried, sad, and apologetic at the same time. His eyes were red and full of self-blame: "Luckily your father reacted quickly and rushed over to hug Nannan. The two of them rolled down the mountain together. Nannan is fine, but you, your father..."

My uncle stuttered and had difficulty speaking, and he couldn't continue at this point.

I also understand the whole story.

From this point of view, it was indeed Lin Youde who saved Nannan.

Grandma's grave was on the mountain, and if she rolled down from such a high mountain, she would definitely be seriously injured. Fortunately, Lin Youde used himself as a cushion to protect Nannan and cushion the impact. Nannan was fine, but Lin Youde himself must have been seriously injured.

"Your father?" I was still silent, but Mrs. Zhang Si gently tugged at my sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Xu Xu, is your father back?"

When Mrs. Zhang Si asked me about my family situation, I told her that I lost my mother very early and my father had been away from home for many years without any news.

I subconsciously shook my head, not wanting to admit that Lin Youde was my father, and also subconsciously resisting Lin Youde's return to our home.

But I quickly came to my senses and whispered, "Well, he...is back."

"Then this can be considered a happy event. Your father has returned home and saved the child. He is a kind-hearted man. God bless kind-hearted people. He will be safe." Mrs. Zhang Si did not know the internal situation of our family. She held my hand and comforted me gently.

She is really powerful, with a gentle and soft power, just like the drizzle in spring, silently nourishing me and soothing me.

But my heart was churning at the moment. My fingers were tense and weak in her palms. I felt bitter and helpless. “Maybe.”

Is it a happy event that Lin Youde returns to our family?

Maybe. It should be a happy event for my aunt and uncle, because this is the relative they have been looking forward to for a long time, and it is also the person my grandmother was thinking about until she died. Lin Youde's return fulfilled my grandmother's last wish and made the family look complete.

Lin Youde, is he a good person with a kind heart?

I can't define it.

They said he was a good man. He helped Lin Xixi clean up her mess and deleted the evidence of hurting me. He was the suspect the police had been looking for.

It is said that he has a kind heart. When the police were looking for him, he took the initiative to find his aunt to recognize her, and begged his aunt to take him back to his hometown to visit his grandmother's grave. His behavior was definitely not a coincidence, but an effort to buy himself a chance to survive and escape responsibility!

But if you say he is a bad guy, he can rush out in time when Nannan is in danger, and protect Nannan even if he is seriously injured...

But Madam Zhang Si didn't understand what I was thinking at the moment. She gently held my hand and said in a soft but firm tone, "Of course, nothing will happen to him."

"Yes, yes, my elder brother, nothing will happen to him. God bless good people!" My uncle nodded vigorously with red eyes, confirming what Mrs. Zhang Si said.

Just at this moment, I heard hurried footsteps outside the ward. It sounded like it came from the operating room, so I immediately turned around to look.

My aunt's figure just happened to flash past the door of the ward.

After a while, her figure ran in from outside again.

Her footsteps were hurried, and her voice was filled with excitement and tears: "Xuxu, your father's operation was successful, and he has been discharged. He is in the next ward!"

Lin Youde's operation was successful.

It seemed like a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders.

"Okay, brother, I'm glad you're okay!" The uncle was very excited. He wanted to stand up, but when he saw Nannan holding his hand, he sat back on the bed.

"That's great. I said Xuxu's father would be fine." Mrs. Zhang Si also smiled.

At this point, my aunt hesitated and cautiously made a suggestion: "Xuxu, do you want to go see your father?"

My brows furrowed, but Madam Zhang Si had already pulled me out: "Of course we have to take a look!"

I was too late to stop it.

Perhaps I didn't want to stop it, so I followed my aunt to the next ward.

On the hospital bed, Lin Youde lay unconscious.
