Chapter 1731
As it was the peak hours, the white Porsche moved on and stopped intermittently along the way.
Dn was driving the car and looking ahead. He seemed to have not rested well all night. In
addition to the dark circles around his eyes, there were a lot of thin blood streaks on his eyes.
Tina clutched her seat belt with both hands.
At such a critical moment, it was inappropriate for her to draw a clear distinction between Dn and
her.
She frowned and asked, "Is the situation very bad?"
In fact, the answer was obvious.
Dn had told her that his father was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. It was a terminal
disease, which virtually meant that Aspry had been sentenced to death.
Throughout every human being''s life, the major events which couldn''t be controlled were birth,
aging, illness, and death. Illness was particrly difficult to predict. Took I as an example.
Although she was still in the sterile room, she would probably be able to return to the normal track
of life after she was discharged from the hospital. Tina had apanied her daughter to go through
this difficult phase of their lives. She had personally experienced the battle with the disease.
"Yes!" Dn nodded.
Tina''s heart sank.
About an hourter, the two of them finally arrived at a first-ss hospital.
After parking the car, Tina and Dn ran into the building.
Coming out of the elevator, Tina saw that the ICU center was ahead, while Lilith was sitting on a
chair in the corridor. She propped up her forehead with her hands, and the messy hair was hanging
down her shoulders. Her face, which looked mean and unfriendly in the past, had be dispirited
and haggard now.
Hearing the footsteps, she looked up at Tina.
When As pry woke up in the ICU, he told his wife and son that he wanted to see Tina. For this
reason, Tina''s appearance didn''t surprise Lilith. Although Lilith was obviously unhappy to see Tina
here, she still didn''t say anything. She simply looked away.
Dn asked, "Mom, how is Dad?"
Lilith shook her head. "He is still in aa. The doctor said that he hasn''t passed the dangerous
period yet!"
Although Lilith didn''t like Tina, but it was her husband''s wish to see his adopted daughter. Lilith
stood up and went outside for a walk.
Tina didn''t pay attention to Lilith. She went straight to the ICU center.
The ICU room was isted with thick ss walls. Inside the room, there were medical apparatus
everywhere. Aspry was lying on the bed in the middle of the room. He was wearing an oxygen
mask, while there were a great number of tubes on his body. His face was pale, and he looked very
weak, as if he had aged several years.
Tina looked at the old man who used to be her adoptive father, while tears welled up in her eyes.
She asked very sadly, "Did uncle pass outst night?"
"Uh-huh." Dn nodded. His voice was feeble and husky, "Last night, I went back home after the
concert was over. Then, I quarrelled with my Mom and mentioned what had happened to you five
years ago. I hadn''t expected that Dad would overhear what we said..."
After the concert endedst night, it was veryte. Dn went back home and saw that Lilith still
hadn''t gone to the bed.
Lilith had been trying to make things difficult for Dn and Tina. At first, she exposed the secret of
I''s identity. After that, she tried her best to persuade Dn to reunite with Selene. When she
realized that what she had done didn''t work, Lilith introduced a number of youngdiesing from
rich and powerful families to Dn.

After Dning back home, Lilith began nagging him again.
Dn was annoyed, and he made it very clear to Lilith.
He only wanted Tina.
Lilith was also very angry. She couldn''t understand why her son had been so addicted to Tina all the
time. "Dn, how many times I have told you, Tina is a little vamp! Why don''t you forget all about
her? Her social status and background were very mediocre. You have so many youngdies to
choose from. Why? Tina is no longer a virgin. She had slept with a great many men... What''s worse,
she had a daughter, a bastard!"
Dn was annoyed even more by thest few words of his mother.
He didn''t understand why. It was obviously his mother''s fault, but she didn''t feel ashamed of what
she had done to Tina five years ago. She acted as if it was justified for her to do so.
Dn roared, "Shut up! It''s enough! You have ruined your image as my Mom. You did such a
vicious thing to Tina. Aren''t you ashamed of it? What''s the difference between you and an evil
witch? If you hadn''t drugged Tina five years ago, how would she have ended up like that? Don''t you
know how to reflect upon the mistakes you made?"
Lilith thought that her image of a kind mother had already been ruined.
As she was very angry now, she didn''t want to hide anything. She sneered and said, "Reflect upon
the mistakes I made? If I hadn''t drugged her and made her r*ped by another man, how could she
give birth to that bastard? If I hadn''t do that, this little vamp would seduce you, and you two would
go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and be husband and wife!
"Don''t think that I didn''t know what she was thinking about. I''ve seen too many b*tches like her in
my life. She was taken to the Koo family as an orphan. We took good care of her, giving her
delicious food and drinks. Guess what she did in the end? This b*tch seduced my son! How could I
ept her..."
Dn face became more and more darkened. Just as he was about to argue further with his
mother, he suddenly looked behind her.
No one knew when Aspry, who was supposed to have fallen asleep, came downstairs.
Lilith''s face turned pale with fright.
Aspry''s eyes widened, and he looked shocked and angry. "What did you say? Is it true?"
Aspry couldn''t believe what he heard. He hadn''t expected that, regarding the tragedy of Tina, he
had been kept in the dark for so many years.
It turned out that it was his wife who had done such a vicious thing to Tina behind his back. Lilith''s
image of being a virtuous wife in Aspry''s mind was also ruined.
Aspry was extremely irritated. He covered his chest with his hands and directly fell backward down
to the ground.
The Koo family was then in chaos for the whole night.
After hearing this, Tina was petrified.
Then, she pursed her lips.
She hadn''t expected that it was the idental exposure of her tragedy five years ago that caused
Aspry to lose his consciousness...
A hint of slight change of emotion shed in
Dn''s eyes. He paused for a while and said, "Daddy''s heart has always been weak. After he
passed out, we immediately called the 120 to send him to the hospital for first aid! We originally
thought it was just heart disease, but the doctor found out that he had advanced liver cancer, and
his prospect was very bad!"
Tina looked at Aspry again. She really felt sorry for her former adoptive father.
Aspry was actually not too old, and he had always been a good person. Good people should live
longer, Tina thought.
Tina''s eyes were filled with tears.
Aspry, who had been lying on the ICU bed, had not woken up.
The sun was sinking in the west, and it gradually grew dark. Dn ordered servants of the Koo
family to send them dishes for dinner.
Tina was brought here by Dn after work. For this reason, she hadn''t eaten her dinner.
She made a phone call to the private hospital and asked the nurse to tell I that she had
something to do in somewhere else.
After putting down the mobile phone, Dn handed her the chopsticks and said, "Tina, let''s eat
something!"
"Thank you!" Tina said. She felt hungry.
The Koo family''s chef was very good at cooking. The dishes looked delicious and nutritional.
They included beef, seafoods, vegetables, and fruits, etc.
Tina''s eyes were fixed on one of the dishes.
The bright-red cherry pulp was dotted with white sesame. It smelled really delicious.
Tina loved this dish very much. When Tina revisited the Koo family after five years of separation,
Dn put this dish near her while they were having dinner. But now, she had lost her appetite in the
face of the delicious cherry pulp.
What she was thinking now was Wilson.
Every time they dined out together, he would carefully consider her so-called "child-like" taste.
Tina tried to concentrate her mind again. She picked up the chopsticks.
She lowered her head and began to eat the steamed rice, wanting to fill her belly first.
From time to time, Tina nced at Dn from the corners of her eye. She almost tasted all the
dishes except for the cherry pulp.
After finishing a bowl of steamed rice, Tina put down her chopsticks.
Seeing that Tina didn''t eat only the cherry pulp, Dn became silent.
