His own granddaughter, how could he not recognize her, and it was impossible for him to be mistaken, only that scoundrel Bai Da could fail to recognize his own daughter. He really didn’t want to admit he had such a son.
But why would his Xingxing feel that she wasn’t his granddaughter?
How could he believe what Bai Da said?
Bai Dan pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
Bai Fei was peeling a banana for Bai Zhi, who originally didn’t want to eat, but since it was offered to her mouth, she took a bite.
This banana had been bought by Uncle Li Mo, who was indeed very enthusiastic.
Bai Dan’s eyes grew a bit sore, he blinked hard to make himself look more normal.
Bai Zhi suddenly looked up, and the moment she saw Bai Dan, she broke into a big smile, her dimples deepening, making her look extremely adorable.
"Grandpa, when did you come back? Didn’t you say it would be a month?"
Bai Zhi was truly happy. Before this, her heart had been flip-flopping, but now, she seemed not to be afraid at all.
Her heart settled back in place, all her unease vanished.
Indeed, she had been uneasy, although she didn’t realize it herself.
But at this moment, her entire mood softened considerably.
Bai Dan walked over, Bai Fei and Wu Wa stepped aside. His Xingxing had been particularly tired all this time.
"I came back as soon as I finished the work. Xingxing, does it hurt? I’ll deal with that bastard.
From now on, he’s not your dad anymore, I’ll kick him out. How about that?"
He had been wrong once, always thinking that Bai Da was just foolish but not completely heartless. Only now did he realize he was wrong; Bai Da was heartless indeed.
Even if he didn’t recognize his own daughter, he shouldn’t have committed such inhumane acts.
Bai Zhi hadn’t expected Grandpa to find out so quickly.
"Grandpa, did you come back specially because of me? You really didn’t need to; just take care of what you need to.
This is just a minor surgery, it will be over very soon."
Although Bai Zhi didn’t know what her grandfather was up to, she was aware it must be important. If his work was delayed because of her, she would feel guilty.
Being able to see Grandpa before the surgery, all her wandering unease had disappeared. Since she had arrived here, every step she had taken was steady, and it would naturally continue to be so.
It was just a minor surgery, after all. What was there to fear? In ten or twenty years, it would be a surgery anyone could undergo.
"Grandpa really did finish his work, and I also think, it’s just a minor surgery, my Xingxing is certainly not afraid."
Bai Dan reached out, gently stroking Bai Zhi’s head just as she remembered.
Every time she felt wronged, Grandpa would stroke her head and say,
"Xingxing isn’t wronged, it’s all better with a touch."
Bai Zhi closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
Soon, Ye Xiu and the others came back.
"Xingxing, we are going to begin the surgery now, don’t be afraid, I will stay by your side the whole time. Don’t move, we can get through this together, okay?"
Li Mo, afraid that Bai Zhi would be scared, told her in advance.
"Okay, Uncle Li Mo, I’m not afraid."
She had just been a bit uneasy, afraid she wasn’t Grandpa’s granddaughter, but now Grandpa had returned.
Just like before, he was her Grandpa, so what was there to fear?
Bai Dan personally carried Bai Zhi, placed her securely in a wheelchair, and pushed her toward the operating room.
The operating room was just a slightly larger sickroom, filled with various medical instruments.
