Bai Jing’s slender hands tightly clung onto Yan Rusheng’s, and subconsciously, she dug her fingernails into his flesh .

Yan Rusheng quietly sighed, for he was at a loss for words . How should he break the news that they could not stitch back her father’s leg?
“Please, I’m begging you!” Bai Jing cried . She knelt down in desperation when Yan Rusheng fell silent .
Yan Rusheng scrambled to pull her up and led her to a chair . He squatted in front of her and solemnly said, “Bai Jing, listen to me . Your father’s leg is beyond saving . ”
Bai Jing’s face turned starkly white and hot tears trickled down her face in an instant .
Yan Rusheng rose and glanced at Qiao Jian with a meaningful look . Qiao Jian understood his message, and he strode to Bai Jing . He took out his handkerchief from his pockets and wiped her tears away . He consoled her with a gentle voice . “From now on, we will take care of your father . How old are you?”
She should still be in school just by how she looked .
Yan Rusheng gazed at Bai Jing as he spoke . “I’ll be responsible for everything from now on . ”

This wasn’t merely a promise, but it was a responsibility . He needed to assume this responsibility .
Bai Jing didn’t look at Yan Rusheng, nor did she look at Qiao Jian . She repeatedly mumbled as she sobbed, “My father’s leg is gone . ”
After several hours, they wheeled Bai Lisong out of the operating theater . He was still unconscious .
Bai Jing rushed to him and tightly gripped his hand . She loudly sobbed, “Dad… Dad…”
As she stood there, she was blocking the nurses . “Please excuse us . ”
Qiao Jian darted forward to pull Bai Jing away .
Yan Rusheng watched Bai Jing and a pang of guilt struck him once more .

His phone began to ring and he glanced at the screen . It was Xuxu .
He picked up and curtly spoke . “Sleep first and don’t call me . ”
He instantly ended the call .
And followed closely behind Qiao Jian and the rest .
Xuxu’s heart sank when Yan Rusheng cut the call . His tone, which sounded cold, distant, and even impatient, had upset her .
‘Did something happen?’
Xuxu recalled how gentle he had sounded when she called earlier on . He promised to be home after an hour, but it had been so long .
He must have met something troubling .
She rationally analyzed the possibility, and she no longer felt upset with him . Instead, worry replaced him .
She wanted to ask him what happened, but she was afraid of disturbing him at the same time . Hence, she decided to wait .
At the hospital…
Bai Jing finally calmed down after Qiao Jian consoling her repeatedly . She sat next to Bai Lisong as she watched her unconscious father with sorrow in her eyes .
Yan Rusheng stood by her with his hands deep in his pockets .
“President, you should head back first . I’ll stay here,” whispered Qiao Jian, who had entered the ward after settling the paperwork .
Yan Rusheng didn’t respond . Instead, he glanced at Bai Jing before inhaling deeply . “I’ll get the nurse to prepare an extra bed for you,” said Yan Rusheng .
Bai Jing raised her head to peer at him .
This was the second time she looked at him . It was as if she was admiring a tall tree or a snow lotus atop a mountain .
After a moment, she nodded .
Yan Rusheng turned around to Qiao Jian and he promptly answered, “I understand . I’ve already arranged for a caregiver . President, please go back first as it’s late . Madam would be worried . ”
