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

This was the first time I had the chance to see Lin Youde’s face clearly.

My childhood memories are already very vague, but even when I was a child, he and I were not close. He always looked down on me and called me a little dirty boy.

Later he disappeared, and even the few photos left behind were blurry.

Later, I met him in person. I felt that he looked familiar but didn't pay much attention to it. I could just recognize that he was Lin Xixi's father Lin Youde, but I had never looked at his face carefully.

At this moment, he was lying quietly on the hospital bed. The snow-white pillow made his face look even more sallow, his lips were purple and white, and his forehead, eyes, cheeks and lips had deep and uneven wrinkles. His cheeks were so thin that they were sunken. Although he was in a coma, his brows were still furrowed, forming deep wrinkles. All the marks on his face proved that he had not had a comfortable life over the years, and he even looked a little vicissitudes of life.

At this moment, there are not only wrinkles on this face, but also many wounds. Although they are all abrasions and the wounds are not very deep, they are bloody and shocking.

That was one of the scars he got from saving Nannan. The other scars were on the surface of his body and some were inside.

"The doctor said his operation was successful and the broken bones have been reconnected, but his internal organs are still severely damaged and need careful care." Auntie spoke in a low voice, her eyes fixed on Lin Youde's face, full of concern and worry, "But we don't know when he will wake up."

"He should wake up soon. Doctor Zhang is a famous surgeon. His surgery success rate is very high and his patients recover very quickly." Mrs. Zhang Si said softly.

She was always concerned about my condition, and turned to look at me and comforted me: "Don't worry, Xuxu, your father will be fine."

There were still countless emotions surging in my heart, and I couldn't say a word. I just nodded slightly.

I still hope that Lin Youde can wake up as soon as possible, whether it is out of gratitude for him saving Nannan or because I urgently need the truth in my case.

But my aunt held my hand and pleaded in a low voice: "The doctor said that some appropriate stimulation can make him wake up earlier. Xuxu, before your father had the accident, he kept talking about you, saying that he was very sorry for you and wanted to recognize you the most, and reconcile with you. If you talk to him, maybe you can stimulate him to wake up?"

My aunt asked me to talk to Lin Youde.

My first reaction was rejection: "I have nothing to say to him, and I won't talk to him."

"Xuxu, your father really let you down, but he had his reasons at that time. Look at how haggard and thin he is. He hasn't had an easy life these years... Can you please don't hold a grudge against him?" The aunt herself is not the kind of person who likes to force others.

From childhood to adulthood, her love for me was no less than that of my grandmother. She always protected me and loved me. No matter what happened, she respected my wishes. This was the first and only time she advised me, with an earnest plea.

He begged me not to hold a grudge against Lin Youde and advised me to talk to Lin Youde and stimulate him to wake up.

I can understand her. The reason why she did this was not only because Lin Youde was her elder brother and the two of them grew up together, but also because of her grandmother's last wish. Her grandmother was looking forward to her son returning home and also hoped that our family could live together in harmony.

But I don’t want to forgive Lin Youde, and I don’t want to talk to him.

I was not only resentful towards him, but more of a doubt, so for the first time I spoke to my aunt in a sullen tone: "No! Why can't I hate him? Even if he had his own reasons at the time, why didn't he come home to find us? He married a new wife and had a new daughter in Beijing and Hong Kong, and even opened a restaurant in Beijing and Hong Kong with the cooking skills his grandmother taught him. What's wrong with his life? I think he's living a good life! He cruelly left us behind and came out to live a good life alone. Does he have a conscience? I can't forgive him because he doesn't deserve it!"

"Xuxu..." My aunt's voice was trembling.

"Don't talk about his difficulties, and don't say he didn't have the opportunity. He even had time to quietly move his household registration, so why didn't he have time to meet us?" I couldn't suppress my excitement, so I took over the conversation and said again, "I have nothing to say to him. If you want to say something, you can say it yourself."

After saying that, I turned and left.

I can't describe how I feel at this moment.

I resented and questioned Lin Youde. I hated his ruthlessness and questioned whether he came back just to play the emotional card.

But when I saw his face at this moment, every scar on his body reminded me that he became like this in order to save our daughter.

This put me in deep entanglement and embarrassment, because this favor made it impossible for me to hate him purely, nor could I be so determined to call Officer Lu at the first opportunity and ask him to arrest Lin Youde.

But I couldn't convince myself to forgive him. I just wanted to escape, leave here, not face this person, and not face these problems.

"Xuxu!" My aunt called me almost pleadingly.

But I still turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

"I'll go. You don't have to go. Stay here and take care of Xuxu's father." Madam Zhang Si's voice came from behind. "Xuxu is a sensible and good child. She must be like this because she can't resolve the depression in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to make you sad. I'll go see her."

"Thank you, ma'am." My aunt thanked me gratefully.

Madam Zhang Si had already followed me out and called me softly, "Xu Xu, wait for me."

At this moment, I had already walked out of the ward. I didn't have to face Lin Youde's face, so my mood was much relieved. But I couldn't bear to make Mrs. Zhang Si too hard. After all, she was wearing high heels tonight, and she was chasing me so anxiously. I was afraid that she would sprain her ankle.

I immediately stopped, turned around and held her arm, but frowned slightly and whispered: "Madam, please don't persuade me. I don't want to forgive him, and I don't want to talk to him..."

"I'm not here to persuade Xuxu, I just want to accompany Xuxu." Mrs. Zhang Si laughed, held my hand, and said seriously, "Although I don't know why Xuxu doesn't want to do it, Xuxu must have her own reasons. I won't persuade her, I just want to accompany you and make you feel better."

She is really a gentle, powerful and considerate fairy!

I looked at Mrs. Zhang Si's gentle and beautiful face, and once again couldn't help my impulse and hugged her tightly: "Thank you, I feel really at ease with you around."

It’s the same peace of mind as having a family, and the same peace of mind as having a mother.

At this moment, a nurse hurried into Lin Youde's ward holding a record book, and shouted as she walked: "Family of Lin Youde, we need your signature here..."

Mrs. Zhang Si, who was hugging me and stroking my back to calm me down, suddenly froze: "Lin Youde?"
