âItâs me, Dad.â
Gu Dajiang gasped. âI⦠Iâm not dreaming?â
As he spoke, he grabbed Gu Yundongâs hand with great force.
He stared at Gu Yundong, afraid that he would blink and the person in front of him would suddenly disappear again.
Gu Yundong slowly squatted down and let him hold her hand. He smiled and said, âYes, youâre not dreaming. Father, Iâm in front of you. Iâm fine. You found me.â
Gu Dajiangâs eyes widened as he listened to her seriously. His lips trembled slightly, and his hand that was holding her trembled slightly too.
Slowly, this trembling became more and more intense, just like the torrential emotions in his heart.
Gu Yundong gently put her other hand on it and said gently, âFather, do you hurt anywhere? Youâre injured. The doctor said that you canât move around.â
Gu Dajiang finally blinked, but his voice was hoarse. âYundong, is it really you?â
âYeah.â
âItâs really you?â
âItâs me.â
âItâs true. Itâs actually true.â
âDad.â
Gu Dajiang suddenly grinned. In the next moment, tears flowed out and slowly slid down his face to the pillow.
âDad.â
âIâm fine. Iâm fine. Iâm just happy. Iâm⦠happy.â His voice was choked with emotion.
After searching for so long, he was almost in despair.
When the planks of the Xin family hit him and he was thrown out on his last breath, the only regret in his heart was that he could not find his wife and children. He did not know if they were still alive or if they were waiting for him in heaven.
He did not expect his daughter to be by his side the moment he woke up. He was satisfied.
His wounds didnât hurt at all. He was glad. Heâd never been so glad.
Gu Yundong quickly wiped his tears with a handkerchief. The corners of her eyes could not help but tear up. Her eyes turned red. âIâm happy too.â
Gu Dajiang grinned like a child.
But in the next moment, he suddenly raised his head slightly and looked behind Gu Yundong.
However, there was no one there. His hand could not help but tremble slightly. He wanted to speak, but he did not know how to.
Gu Yundong quickly knew who he was looking for. She smiled and said, âMother and Yunshu and Yunke are all fine.â
Gu Dajiang was stunned. His gaze landed on her again.
Gu Yundong continued, âBack then, I saw that the Qingâan Prefecture was in chaos. I was afraid that I could not protect my mother and younger siblings, so I brought them to the Xuanhe Prefecture. Now, they have settled down in Yongfu Village under the Xuanhe Prefecture. They are all at home, waiting for us to return.â
After a pause, she said, âIâm sorry, Father. I didnât fulfill my promise to you.â
âNo, you did the right thing. You did the right thing.â Gu Dajiangâs voice became lighter. Knowing that his family was safe, he seemed to be in high spirits. âThereâs nothing more important than your safety. I didnât think it through back then. I didnât expect the city gate of Qingâan Prefecture to be tightly shut, causing chaos. Iâ¦â
âWhat about you?â Gu Yundong did not want him to continue blaming himself. She changed the topic and asked, âWhy did Father come to Wanqing Prefecture? Actually, I went to Qingâan Prefecture to look for you. I even met Bao Chunhua and his wife. They said that they had seen you and saw you leave the city gate with their own eyes. Unfortunately, they didnât know where you went after you left. I even wentâ¦â
She paused and did not tell him that she had been to Gu village. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She would take it slow. So many things had happened in Gu village. She had to tell her father, but she did not want to say it yet.
