"That day when my father and I went to the Meng family to look for someone, we clearly saw her standing in front of the window of the room, but she ignored our calls." That scene left an indelible scar in his heart.

"You misunderstood. When you arrived at my door that day, I was packing some clothes needed for hospitalization in her room. She was in emergency condition at that time and had been hospitalized for treatment, waiting for a heart transplant." Meng Ruitai explained.

"So that person is you..." No wonder she wanted him to believe her, saying that there was absolutely no way she would betray him.

"Later, when she was recuperating in the hospital after the operation, she found out that I had moved my family to Taipei. After she recovered, she secretly went back to look for you, only to find that you had left town and were missing. She was sad for a while. This secret has been buried deep in my heart untilIt was only after I knew that your father was critically ill and went to see your father that I told her the whole story.Only then did she realize that I had done such an unforgivable thing to you in order to raise medical expenses for her." Thinking of the past, Meng Ruitai's eyes filled with tears again.

"Have you met my dad?" This was another message that shocked Bowen.

"Maybe you think I'm hypocritical, but I have really been inquiring about your family. Even if I have no face to see you, I still want to make up for it... Until I found out that your father was hospitalized with terminal cancer and the situation was not very optimistic, I made up my mind that even if he had to kill me to vent his anger, I would definitely go and see him."

"One day my father didn't talk all night, as if he was thinking about something, and he was very worried. The nurse said that someone came to see him in the afternoon and he changed like this. It turned out that person was you?!" Geng Anqian exclaimed in surprise, and then she understood why her father behaved like this at that time.

Meng Ruitai nodded and continued: "I know that no matter what reasons I have, I should not defraud your father of his property and betray his trust in me. But, Jia Li is my only daughter and my life. In order to save her, I will go to hell even if I have to.She is willing to bear it, but she is innocent, and she only knew all this after the fact...Born, I don't expect you to forgive me, but please let Jia Li go, she shouldn't be implicated in my mistakes." Meng Ruitai stretched out his trembling hands and clasped his hands in front of his chest, making a gesture of begging.

"I beg you, please let go." Yang Ziqian persuaded him.

Faced with their pleading, Geng Bo'en just wanted to tell them loudly that he had always loved Meng Jiali, and it was not just revenge as they thought, but his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by something, and he could not say a word.

Perhaps, their fate should have been broken long ago, so that she would not have to go through the pain and suffering in the following days.

"Are the patient's family members here? The patient is awake." The nurse's voice came from the door of the ward, instantly interrupting their conversation.

"We'll go there right away." Yang Ziqian supported Meng Ruitai and hurried forward, and asked the nurse to help treat the injury on Meng Ruitai's forehead, completely leaving the Geng Boen brothers and sisters aside.

"Brother, let's go take a look too." Geng Anxi didn't think too much and was about to take a step, but as soon as she took a step, Geng Bo'en grabbed her arm.

"Brother?" She turned back to look at Geng Bo'en in confusion, but was shocked by the lifeless and defeated look on his face.

He shook his head, then let go of his hand, turned around and left in the other direction.

Seeing that the always tall and straight back suddenly became a little rickety, full of suffocating sadness, her chest tightened suddenly, her shoulders drooped, and she walked silently behind her brother. Her tears couldn't help but fall, for her brother who was trying not to cry.

Chapter 10(1)

On the hospital bed, Meng Jiali slowly opened her eyes. As usual, her first glance was towards the bedside. When she saw the figure she was expecting, she would look towards the door again. Then she turned all her emotions into a sigh and lowered her thick eyelashes.

"Are you still waiting for him?" Meng Ruitai, who was sitting by the bed, looked at her daughter's still pale face distressedly, and reached out his hand to gently brush away the hair that fell from her forehead.

Meng Jiali did not answer, but her long eyelashes trembling slightly revealed her answer——

She has been waiting.

"Daughter, Dad originally thought that you were doing it for Dad, so you agreed to Burn's forced marriage in a mood of atonement, but tell Dad, is Dad terribly wrong?" In the past few days, they have not discussed matters about Gunn. On the one hand, her condition is not very stable, and he does not want to increase her pressure. On the other hand, he is also trying to persuade her to give up the life in her belly... This is really an impossible task, and he still doesn't know how to speak.

He knew his daughter's personality. No matter what her feelings were towards Gunn, it would be quicker to ask her to give up her child than to give up her life, so this was a difficult problem...

"Dad, there are many ways to atone for sins, what do you think?" Meng Jiali raised the corners of her lips slightly, raised her eyelashes and looked at her father, her eyes clear and calm.

Meng Ruitai was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed, "You have been on good terms since childhood. If you didn't have Cheng Yaojin as your father, you might have successfully gotten married and had children long ago, and you wouldn't have to go through these difficulties and twists and turns."

"Dad, how can I blame you? If I want to blame, I can only blame my health for not living up to expectations. I also want to make dad worry about me, do things that go against his own principles, and live a life with uneasy conscience. I can only say that this is how God arranged it. There are no ifs." Meng Jiali stretched out her hand and patted the back of her father's hand comfortingly. Her eyes swept over the gauze covering the wound on her father's forehead. Her nose was sore and she couldn't help but feel distressed.

She heard Yang Ziqian talk about what happened outside the ward that day. Although she didn't see it on the spot, she could still feel the emotional impact between them at that time. It must have made Geng Bo'en very uncomfortable... He was not at all as cold-blooded and ruthless as he showed. On the contrary, he had the softest heart, and he struggled painfully with the contradiction of revenge.

Compared to him, she was not suffering at all. Instead, she was so happy because of his careless care.

"Silly boy, you are dad's baby. Even if time goes back, dad will still do this without hesitation." Although saying this was very sorry for his betrayed friend, he had no choice for the sake of his daughter.

"Dad..." She couldn't evaluate her father's thoughts and actions. After all, it came from the strong affection of a father who loved his daughter too deeply. But no matter what wrong he did, she was willing to bear it on his behalf without any regrets.

"Daughter, do you understand what dad means?" He glanced at his daughter's still flat belly and spoke with difficulty.

Meng Jiali shuddered, and her hands subconsciously covered the place where her father glanced. Her thin face showed unprecedented determination, but her voice was unusually soft, "No."

"You child, you clearly know that your body is not suitable for pregnancy." Meng Ruitai said worriedly.

"Dad, have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? I know my own situation very well, and I couldn't be better." She pouted, showing a stubborn look like a little girl.

"Just because you are a doctor, you shouldn't make fun of your own life, Jiali, Dad doesn't want to lose you!"

Meng Ruitai said with a serious expression.

"Dad, just as I am important to you, the child in my belly is also important to me. How can you not support me?" Meng Jiali also asked sternly.

"I..." Meng Ruitai was speechless for a moment, and could only sigh and shake her head, "I can't help you, but dad can't support you this time, and I don't agree with it." Although she was carrying his grandson in her belly, how could it compare to the daughter she had raised and grown up with her own hands?

"Dad——"

"What do you disapprove of?" Yang Ziqian vaguely heard their conversation as soon as he walked into the ward and asked curiously.

Meng Ruitai glanced at her daughter helplessly, winked at Yang Ziqian and said, "Encourage her to put her own body first no matter what."

Yang Ziqian instantly understood the point of their dispute, and his expression became serious, "Jia Li, don't you even listen to my uncle's words?"

"Don't unite to force me, I won't agree." Meng Jiali pursed her lips and resolutely defended her baby.

"Then... what if even Geng Boer doesn't want this child?" Yang Ziqian watched her reaction with some worry.

Meng Jiali's already pale face seemed to have turned even whiter, "What did he say?" She had been mentally prepared for not being able to see him for so many days.
