"Dad, what are you talking about? The doctor said you are recovering very well. Don't say these unlucky words. Your mother and I will be happy if you live a long life!" Dai Yuxiao stretched out her little hand, like she did when she was a child.
He playfully scratched his father's aging face.
Dai Zhengde wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words, not wanting to affect his daughter's mood at the moment.
After Dai Yuxiao finished eating, he didn't want to go back to the lavender room and hid in the study.
I opened a book and placed it on the desk. I took out a piece of paper and planned to make some excerpts. When I started writing, it was Mu Lengrui's name.
Mu Lengrui, Mu Lengrui, Mu Lengrui...
Unknowingly, this name filled the whole page... The more she wrote, the more irritated she became. She crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on the ground angrily, and stepped on it a few times.
The paper ball was softly folded, lying pitifully on the ground, and then slowly expanded back to its original state.
While I was distracted, a dull sound suddenly came out. It seemed like a sound that had been suppressed for a long time had burst out today, but it was too suffocating to completely explode.
Why are there such unusual noises in my own home?
Dai Yuxiao was suddenly startled and stood up, worried that Meng Liangxian or Dai Shuanglin had tricked him into leaving some secret in a certain room. If he accidentally touched the mechanism, an unforeseen accident would occur.
I walked to the door of the study and listened carefully through the door panel. After the sound, it was quiet and everything was as usual.
I walked back to my seat and flipped through a few pages of the book, but my heart couldn't calm down. My mind was filled with the shadow of Mu Lengrui.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-" There was a chaotic knock on the door.
Before she could open the door, Wang Ma's anxious voice came from outside: "Second Miss, Second Miss, something happened to me, something happened to me!"
Tengdi stood up from his seat, walked to the door in two steps, and pulled the door handle. Wang Ma tried to push the door open, but the two of them almost bumped into each other.
"Wang Ma, what's wrong? What's wrong with my father?" Dai Yuxiao asked anxiously.
Could it be that there is some truth in what the doctor said about complete recovery? My father's surgery was not as successful as they said?
"Sir, he..." A look of horror flashed across Wang Ma's face, not just anxiety.
Dai Yuxiao didn't ask any more questions and ran quickly to his father's room.
Dad, Dad, nothing can happen to you, nothing can happen to you... It hasn't been long since our father and daughter reunited...
From now on, I have to be filial to you and be a good daughter. You cannot cruelly deprive me of this right.
Dai Yuxiao was panicking, her running steps were a little messy, but her father's room was on the second floor. Why was the distance so far away?
When she reached the corner of the stairs, she stepped down, but accidentally missed the step, and her whole body suddenly leaned forward.
In a panic, I wanted to grab the stair railing, but I couldn't do it in time, so I had to change my strategy to protect my head.
He fell headlong into the stairwell, and his whole delicate and thin body stumbled down the stairs.
"Ah——" Wang Ma chased her from behind, but she couldn't keep up with her falling speed.
Except for the tightly held head, almost every part of the body was in close contact with the wooden stair boards.
Pain - every part of the skin can clearly feel the pain, and all the cells in the body are rushing to send a message - pain.
Like a fleshy rubber ball, it rolled down from the top of the stairs to the bottom, and it was under the attention of the servants. I'm afraid this is the most embarrassing thing, right?
Until he rolled to the bottom, Dai Yuxiao still maintained the shape of the ball, curled up tightly into a ball, held his head tightly with his hands, and his hair fell from the tightly held arms.
She looked very much like a hedgehog. Unfortunately, a hedgehog's body was covered with thorns. Even if it fell, it would be protected by thorns. But she had nothing but a thin layer of clothes.
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" Wang Ma called, leaning down to help her up.
My mind was in chaos, and my whole body felt like it was falling apart. The more it felt like this, the less I dared to stretch out my body.
If the raw pat is accidentally stretched out, it will really fall apart and cannot be put back together again. It is like a torn rag doll that is difficult to put back together.
My mind was in chaos and I lost the ability to think. I had no other feelings except a clear sense of pain. I forgot why I fell down at a loss and why I ran.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, get up quickly, Master..." Wang Ma shouted anxiously, but hesitated to speak.
Ah? What? Dad? Dai Yuxiao regained consciousness, turned to one side, freed up one arm, pushed hard on the ground, and stood up.
Even if she couldn't stand still, she still had to stumble forward. She wanted to see her father. She didn't know what happened to make Wang Ma so panicked.
As I was walking, I opened my eyes slightly, but there was a sticky liquid that blurred my vision, and my field of vision was filled with scarlet.
Only then did Wang Ma notice that she had been holding her head just now and could not see her facial expressions or anything at all.
"Ah! Second Miss, you are injured and your head is bleeding!" Wang Ma hurriedly reached out to cover the wound, but the blood was still flowing out in streams, which was very scary.
Dai Yuxiao couldn't care about this. He waved to Wang Ma with a pale face, stretched out his delicate hand and touched it in front of his eyes. The scarlet in front of his eyes disappeared temporarily, but his hand was stained with scarlet.
She didn't know why. She was obviously holding her head tightly with her arms, but why was she still injured?
Although other parts of the body are in pain, there is no bleeding. The more deliberately the parts are protected, the more likely they are to be injured?
Now, there is no time to hesitate, no time to check the wound. We must rush to our father's side quickly, without any delay.
The bright red blood dripped down the forehead again, soaking the hair on the temples, crossing the pale eyebrows like distant daisy, and sticky the eyelids, making them look thick.
She could only use her delicate hands to wipe it, and her hands were scarlet and sticky. The blood slowly cooled in her palms, making her palms feel clammy.
Why is this corridor so long? It makes her feel like it's thousands of miles away. After walking so many difficult steps, why hasn't she reached her father's room yet...
She staggered, almost unsteady and fell again. Wang Ma had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly supported her.
"Thank you, Mother Wang..." Her lips gradually lost their color and she spat out weak words. Her eyes were a little blurry.
Stand firm, widen your eyes, try your best to hold on, and bite your lip gently to keep yourself awake.
In this family, she is her father's only support. They support each other and depend on each other. She cannot fall, cannot fall, absolutely cannot fall.
Grit your teeth, lift your legs that are as heavy as lead, and move forward with all your strength, reminding yourself all the time, be strong, be strong, you must be strong.
After stumbling all the way, she finally arrived at the door of her father's room. She held on to the door frame, panted hard, and breathed in fresh air, injecting active factors into her chaotic brain and forcing her mind to wake up.
After adjusting herself, she gently opened the door with a sweet smile on her face. No matter what happened to her father, she wanted to make her father feel happy and feel the family happiness that her little daughter brought to him.
The door was pushed open gently, and the door panel trembled very slightly. She controlled her heartbeat and speed, not wanting to disturb her father and worrying that he would be too excited.
The doctor said that even if he recovered, he should not get too emotional, otherwise his life would be in danger.
The door was halfway open, and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I bit my lip hard, but I had to continue this action, even though I had seen something I didn't want to see.
A small stream of blood flowed slowly and seeped out along the edge of the door panel.
The wider the door opens, the more blood flows out... more and more...
She couldn't wait any longer and opened the door with a bang. All her strength was poured into the arm that opened the door. She was sore from being hit by the door panel and her joints were almost broken.
The father's head was tilted back slightly, his whole body was slumped on the boss's chair, and his arms hung weakly on both sides.
On the ground, lying quietly, was a black pistol, shining with a bewitching light. Half of the gun body was submerged in the scarlet blood.
The father's head, close to his temple, revealed a dark gap. It was from this gap that blood gurgled out, flowing from the side of his body to the floor, splashing blood.
"Dad!" Dai Yuxiao yelled at the top of his lungs, propped up his body and ran forward, but slipped on the sticky blood.
Her body lost balance, she fell heavily, and the moment she fell into a pool of blood, the black hole was like a black hole, swallowing up her soul and all her ability to think.
Dad, dad, why did you commit suicide, why did you commit suicide, why did you commit suicide... This thought kept lingering in her mind until she fell into a coma.
The blood dripping from her head merged into the pool of blood. This fusion of blood ties was unbearable to witness. It was thrilling and shocking.
"Second Miss! Second Miss!" Wang Ma stepped forward in a panic, calling out to Dai Yuxiao who was unconscious in a pool of blood, but received no response from her.
Wang Ma looked around blankly. There were only three people left in the huge house. Before Dai Zhengde and Dai Yuxiao came back, Meng Liangxian dismissed all the other servants, leaving her alone.
Now, with two masters, one committed suicide and the other was in a coma, she was at a loss as to who to ask for help and who to ask for help. She had no idea at all.
She took out her mobile phone, looked for the phone number, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the number of a relative who was related to Dai Yuxiao by blood. She was Dai Yuxiao's half-sister, Dai Shuanglin.
"Miss, miss! Something happened at home. Can you come back?" Wang Ma was anxious, her voice trembling.
"If there is anything going on at home, don't call me. I'm busy! Leave me alone! Goodbye!" Dai Shuanglin looked indifferent and wanted to hang up the phone as soon as he picked up the call.
"No, no, miss, I beg you, I really have no choice, I can't find anyone to help..." Mother Wang begged in a hoarse voice.
"What's going on? You servants are really annoying. Why are you so nervous about such a big deal?" Dai Shuanglin snorted with disdain.
"Miss, something really happened at home. Please go home. I can't handle it myself..." Wang Ma begged, holding Dai Yuxiao's upper body with her other hand.
"Where's that Dai Yuxiao? Where did she die? She is now a popular person in my father's eyes. My mother and I have been relegated to the cold palace for a long time. You should ask her for help. Forget it, I don't have time. I'll hang up.
Yes!" Dai Shuanglin was impatient, his tone was clearly jealous of Dai Yuxiao, and he wanted to hang up the phone impatiently.
"Don't! The master committed suicide! The second lady fainted! Eldest lady, please come back quickly!" Wang Ma said while crying.
"What?" Dai Shuanglin couldn't believe his ears. Who would have thought that his father Dai Zhengde, who was once a great man, would choose to commit suicide.
"Eldest Miss, the second Miss fell from the stairwell and saw the master committing suicide. She couldn't stand the excitement and fainted. Now she's still unconscious. I really can't help it..." Mother Wang burst into tears.
"Okay, I understand, I'll be here right away!" Dai Shuanglin hung up the phone and took off the mask on his face, leaving white lotion on his face.
