'Knock, knock, knock.'

"Who is it?"

"It's Feifei..."

"Come in."

After finishing the call with Li Sisi, Feng Feifei brought medicine to her father Feng Qing's room.

"Time to take your medicine. After you finish this bowl, I'll prepare some reishi water in half an hour."

"Leave it there." Feng Qing said softly.

"No, it's at the right temperature, you must drink it now, or it will lose its effectiveness." Feng Feifei said, helping her father sit up from the bed, then carefully spoon-feeding him, "Don't drink too fast, it will put a burden on your stomach."

"Okay."

"Is it bitter?"

"Not bitter. With you here, even bitterness tastes sweet."

Feng Qing looked at his daughter lovingly, or perhaps, knowing one's end is near brings out the kindness. He owed too much.

"Haven't your brother and sister come back yet?"

"Them? I haven't checked, maybe they've already returned." Feng Feifei hesitated for a moment but didn't tell the truth.

"Huh, always out having fun while I'm this sick, can't even see them once a day." Truly, ever since he fell ill, those two have been busy contacting the company's upper management, trying to control more of the group's power. They simply don't care about his illness.

They probably can't wait for him to die so they can take over the company. Yet, this illegitimate daughter, upon learning of his illness, returned to this so-called home to take care of him every day.

"Feifei, I owe you too much."

"Stay positive, don't overthink. The doctor said, if the patient keeps a good mindset, it's not a big deal." Feng Feifei said calmly.

After feeding the medicine, she prepared to leave.

"Feifei..."

"Yes?"

"Sit down and chat with dad for a while."

Upon hearing this, Feng Feifei gently put down the bowl and sat down.

Actually, the whole house arrest thing was a lie by Li Sisi to Xiaofan. Feng Feifei returned home on her own accord. Her father didn't want the company to fall apart. After thinking about it at home for a few days, she agreed to his request. Using her marriage for the company's salvation.

A woman in her thirties could probably only marry a man in his forties. Anyway, the person she cares about most in this life is right in front of her. She has seen the critical illness notice. For his final wish, as his daughter, she must fulfill it.

"You really look like your mother."

"No, she said I look like you."

"I've wronged both of you. Feifei, to make it up to you, I've decided..."

"No, I don't want anything you give."

"Why?" Feng Qing asked, puzzled.

"I'm not back to fight for your inheritance. Before she died, my mom told me not to hate you. I couldn't understand why, but now, maybe I do. If one day, you're really gone, I'll probably regret not having talked to you more."

"Feifei... you've never called me dad."

"Dad..."

"Hmm..."

"I'll go make you some reishi water, rest for a bit."

"Okay, good."

Feng Feifei walked out of the room, and Feng Qing's old tears began to flow. How many regrets from his youth he had, and now that he understood, he couldn't turn back anymore.

Repentance is useless; he can only use the rest of his life to make amends.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang? Follow the arrangement I discussed with you for the will."

Meanwhile, walking out, Feng Feifei cried her heart out. No matter what he did before, he's still her biological father — that'll never change.

"Auntie, please help me take this cup of water to my dad's room. Remind him to drink it slowly."

"Understood, Miss Feifei."

She can't let her father see her tear-stained face, so Feng Feifei went back to her room to touch up her makeup.

"Why is it you? Where's Feifei?" Seeing the servant bring the reishi water, Feng Qing asked in surprise.

"Miss Feifei cried so much her makeup was ruined. She probably didn't want you to see, so she asked me to bring it."

"Leave it here."

"But Miss Feifei asked me to watch you finish it, and to drink it slowly."

"It's fine, you can go. I'll finish it." Feng Qing nodded. After watching the servant leave, he made another call, "Dr. Wu, schedule my surgery for the day after tomorrow."

The Feng Family seemed to be creating a smokescreen; speculation ran wild, each more absurd than the last, but Feng Qing kept it well-guarded. Tomorrow should be the day of declaration.

However, Feng Qing didn't know that when he got up to get the phone, a shadow by the window witnessed the scene.

Yes, it was Xiaofan, but he was puzzled. How could someone who signed a critical illness notice move so vigorously out of bed? But looking at his uneven cheekbones was a sign of severe illness. Also, needing surgery? What for? This required asking Li Kuo to investigate.

Meanwhile, Feng Feifei, while touching up her makeup, cried more and more, eventually just removing it altogether, shutting her door, and not going out again.

What means did Feng Qing have to keep Feng Feifei there willingly, ready to marry someone she didn't know? Xiaofan was deeply puzzled by this.

"Ah, oh. I didn't mean to see that."

As Xiaofan was about to talk to Feng Feifei, he suddenly realized she was changing clothes. Trying not to intrude, Xiaofan quickly spoke up.

Xiaofan's sudden appearance startled Feng Feifei, but upon hearing the familiar voice, she wasn't bothered and continued undressing.

"Hey hey, sis, I already said I didn't mean to see. Do you assume I'm not here?"

"So, if your sister undresses on purpose, does that count? What brought you here?" Somehow, only in front of him did she feel completely at ease.

Feng Feifei's calmness surprised Xiaofan.

"You knew I'd come back."

"Probably, Sisi told me she went to find you. If my intuition about you is correct, your return doesn't surprise me."

"Are you leaving?" Xiaofan asked calmly.

"Where to? If it's to go with you, I'd be willing, but you won't go with me. Besides, I'm here willingly, not under threat or pressure. Sorry for disturbing you."

"You and that idiot are exactly opposite: one is stupid to death, the other is so sensible," Xiaofan remarked helplessly.

"Hey, do you think white or black looks better?"

"It looks best not wearing anything." Seeing Feng Feifei playing with the lingerie in front of her, Xiaofan remarked with a pout.
