Chen Xiao sat on the sofa and watched Liu Xixi clean up the table. He wanted to say something to Liu Xixi, but he hesitated.

"Chen Xiao, if you have something to say, then hurry up and say it. What is a man doing there?" Liu Xixi now had the appearance of a manly woman. She had completely forgotten about the temperament of a lady.

Seeing Chen Xiao's expression, she knew that this man had something to say to her.

"Xi Xi, I heard from a friend in the country that Liu Chengze changed to a malignant lymphoma. You …" Do you want to go back and take a look? "

Although Liu Xixi didn't say it, Chen Xiao knew that she was worried about Liu Chengze, so he sent people to pay close attention to the situation of the Liu Family. Now that Liu Chengze was sick, he should tell her no matter what.

Liu Xixi stopped washing the dishes. She turned around to look at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"My dad? Is he sick? " Liu Xixi repeated what Chen Xiao said, his voice was filled with disbelief.

"Yes." Chen Xiao confirmed his answer.

Liuxi lowered his eyes. "I'm a bit tired. I'll go back and rest."

Chen Xiao looked at the emaciated back of Liu Xi Xi. He knew that being tied down by his family would always make him feel helpless.

Chen Xiao had a fleeting thought. He wanted to hide Liu Chengze's illness, but he didn't want Liu Xixi to regret it one day.

Liu Xixi was in the bathroom, dipping her head into the water until she felt she was losing her breath. Then she stuck her head out of the water.

Right now, she was completely helpless as she curled up her body in the bathtub, looking like a homeless orphan.

Chen Xiao's words were still echoing in her ears, "Malignant tumor?" Malignant tumor? Initially, she had thought that these illnesses were things that were too far away for her. But now, they had happened to his father.

She didn't want to go back to the place that had once pierced her heart, but how could she bear to see her father lying on the sickbed without seeing him for the last time?

She only stood up when the water in the bathtub became cold. She took a towel from the side and casually wiped her hair.

She took out her cell phone and dialed Liu Chengze's number. This was the first time she called home since coming to Toronto.

He had originally thought that no one would be able to pick up the phone. However, he didn't expect that it would only ring a few times before answering the call.

"Hello?" Liu Xixi had unpredictably shed tears the size of beans. This was the sound she had heard for more than twenty years.

She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.

Liu Chengze held his phone tightly and asked tentatively, "Is it Cissy?"

Liu Xixi could no longer hold it in. "Dad, I'm sorry …"

"Silly child." Liu Chengze's voice was trembling slightly, and his words were filled with tears, "Why haven't you heard from me for all these years? Do you know how worried I am about you? "

Perhaps it was the illness that had worn away the man's edges, but Liussi could not feel the determination and decisiveness of his father.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my unfilial daughter …" Liu Xixi held the phone.

Liu Xixi hung up and spent the night buying the latest ticket back to Pingcheng.

While she was packing, Chen Xiao knocked on the door. He was worried that Liu Xixi might not be able to sleep well because of the news of Liu Chengze's illness, so he brewed a cup of hot milk to make Liu Xixi feel better. "Xixi, can I come in?"

Chen Xiao pushed the door open after receiving a response from the person inside. He saw that Liuxi was packing her luggage, but there wasn't much surprise on her face. He had already guessed that if he told Liuxi about this, she would definitely choose to return to Pingcheng.

"You've decided to leave?" Chen Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, crossed his legs, and watched Liu Xixi tidy up his things.

"I don't trust my father." Liu Xixi didn't even raise her head. She knew that Chen Xiao wouldn't stop her. Even if Chen Xiao did, she wouldn't change her mind.

"What about Ann? Are you going to take him with you? " Chen Xiao pointed to the heart of the matter. If Liu Xixi was alone, then whether she stayed or not wouldn't have much of an impact. But now that there was another child, she began to consider more factors.

"Chen Xiao …" Liu Xixi raised her head. The tears that she had just called Liu Chengze with were still fresh in her eyes. She looked directly into Chen Xiao's eyes. "Can you …" How many days are you taking care of me? I don't want to take him back. "

It was with great difficulty that Liu Xixi managed to expunge Shen Mo Chen from his life. If this man were to find out that he brought An An An back, then he would be in for a lot of trouble.

Afraid that Chen Xiao would refuse, Liu Xixi added on at the end, "As long as everything is settled, I'll be back soon."

Chen Xiao nodded. He also said, "Rest in peace. Just leave An'an to me. I'll definitely raise him to be fair and plump."

"Thank you." Once again, Liu Xixi was blinded by tears. What she owed Chen Xiao was too much. Even if she owed him the rest of his life, she wouldn't be able to pay it back.

"Why are we talking about this between you and me? "You can go without worry. It's okay if you leave An An with me."

He placed the hot milk on the bedside table and reminded Liu Xixi to remember to drink it. Then, he gently closed the door.

The next day, Liu Xixi got up early in the morning. She wanted to say goodbye to An An and catch a plane back to Ping City.

Initially, she had the thought of sneakily leaving, but in the end, she couldn't bear it. She didn't want An'an to destroy his sense of security at such a young age, so even if she decided to bear with her heartache and bid farewell to her precious son.

She pushed open the door to Anthea's room. She must have been tired from last night, as Anthea was still sleeping after waking up long ago.

Liuxi looked at the sleeping face of the child on the bed. She leaned over and lightly kissed his forehead, then picked Anthea up. "Baby, wake up soon."

An'an opened her hazy eyes, her large eyes flickering. She didn't know why her mother wanted to disturb his good sleep. He crawled into Liu Xixi's embrace, looking as if he hadn't slept enough.

"An An, mom has to go back to China. Can you get along well with uncle for a while?"

"Mom, don't you want some peace?" An Xin's sleepy voice trembled slightly as she was driven away. She looked as if she had been wronged, and a layer of mist covered her eyes.

"It's not like that. Mom has something urgent and needs to go back. Once Mom finishes what she has to do over there, she will definitely come back as soon as possible." Liu Xixi quickly explained.

"I know, Mom, you're going on a business trip, right? Can you take me with you? I haven't come back to China yet. " Anthea's small, fleshy hands rested on Liu Xixi's shoulders, as if she wanted to discuss the matter with her.
