Hua Yan gave He a bag: "Alright."

"I bought the barbecue, come down, we can sit on the cool bed and eat."

Hua Guoqiang glanced at her, "I think it’s cooler here, you come up too, I’ll pull you."

Hua Yan didn’t want to, he laughed: "What? Are you afraid I’m going to push you down? You may not acknowledge me, but I know you are my only flesh and blood."

Hua Yan had no choice but to climb up. He seemed very hungry and ate without much interaction with her.

He handed her a bottle of beer, but she shook her head: "You drink, I have to record a song tomorrow, can’t drink."

Hua Guoqiang chuckled softly, not saying anything, with actions rough yet with minimal courtesy. After all, once he was an outstanding scholar too, but time wore down his edges, making him more worldly and realistic.

After eating, he checked the time: "Alright, I’m full, you should go back, don’t delay your schedule for tomorrow, I’m fine and won’t disturb you anymore."

This tactic of retreating to advance made Hua Yan feel uncomfortable: "If you need, I can give you money so you can get treatment at ease."

Hua Guoqiang shook his head, "It’s untreatable; I have not only liver cancer but also lung cancer, and most of my internal organs have metastasized, beyond saving. Money can’t cure this. I knew my liver was problematic three years ago, I disappeared for three years wanting to fulfill a wish. Now my wish is complete, I should go see your mom too, rest assured, I will definitely bow before her, begging for her forgiveness."

Hua Yan frowned slightly, feeling the words sounded dangerous. The next second, Hua Guoqiang suddenly jumped off the platform, rushing towards the one-meter railing outside. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she shouted emotionally: "No, don’t, you can’t do this! You can’t do this!"

Hua Guoqiang leapt onto the railing easily, wind from the top layer blew his clothes with a rustling sound, yet when looking back, he showed Hua Yan a relieved smile. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Although you won’t call me dad, you treated me to barbecue and beer, I’m already content. Good child, starting today, you are truly an orphan; your dad regrets deeply, truly regrets. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely treat you and your mother well, farewell, my child..."

Hua Guoqiang let go of the railing decisively, falling backwards without hesitation; he truly wanted to die, but in the crucial moment, Hua Yan transformed into a beam of white light, tightly grabbing his arm: "No, you can’t die, I beg you, don’t do this, okay?"

Hua Guoqiang looked up at her reddened eyes, seemingly greatly satisfied internally: "Alright, then you promise me, call me dad."

"Dad... Dad... I’ve called you, please come up, alright? Even if your illness can’t be cured, at least there’s me, I will accompany you for treatment, don’t treat me this way, okay? You dying in front of me, how do you expect me to think? Quick, He, He, call the police, call the police!"

Hua Yan’s hysterical shouting made He, who was anxiously turning in circles by the side, suddenly react.

"Yanyan, don’t worry, I’m calling now, hold on a bit longer, hold on, I’m going downstairs to call for help!"

Even though He ran over at Hua Yan’s cry, he still couldn’t move as swiftly as Hua Guoqiang. He was now hanging outside the wall alone, and Hua Yan’s thin body seemed to be on the verge of being pulled out. If it weren’t for her temporarily stabilizing with mana, she probably couldn’t hold back the additional fifty to sixty jin of adult male.

Hua Guoqiang observed the tightly clustered sweat beads on his daughter’s forehead, his lips curved with heartfelt satisfaction, revealing a face full of weathered release.

"Silly child, what treatment? I killed Dai Jiuarong, it’s a secondary crime. Even if alive, I would have to go in. You said instead of this, I might as well choose the way I want to end. Although it may leave you with psychological shadows, at least my daughter will always remember me, so Yanyan, take care!"

Saying this, he unceremoniously used his other hand to pry open Hua Yan’s fingers one by one, that resoluteness made Hua Yan subconsciously loosen the mana she applied on him. He left, leaving with a smile on his lips, he seemed to be very content with this way of dying. However, Hua Yan sat collapsed on the ground, unable to recover from this incident for a long time.
