Attempt to Please

"Okay, Uncle will come back as soon as he's done." Gu Shaoting made a pinky swear with Joy.

After Gu Shaoting left, Shu Pan took Joy's temperature again. Fortunately, her fever was almost gone.

Shu Pan's heart ached as she looked at her daughter's haggard and pale little face.

She didn't know if she had made a mistake because when Joy was at her weakest, she called out "Daddy".

To her, "Daddy" was a very unfamiliar but sacred term.

Shu Pan looked at Joy's bright and innocent eyes and felt a little confused.

"Joy, do you miss Daddy?"

"Yes, Daddy can piggyback me on his shoulders so I'm very high up. Doesn't every child have a daddy? Why isn't Joy's Daddy home yet?"

Joy had a disappointed look on her face.

Shu Pan's eyes reddened. She almost blurted out that her daddy was right in front of her.

"Your Daddy is just busy with work. He also loves Joy very much." Shu Pan used her usual perfunctory reason on Joy again.
