Gu Shaoting widened his eyes as if he didn't know Shu Pan. "Joy is sick. I'm in no mood to go to work."
Shu Pan couldn't help but say, "She's my daughter. Why should you worry?"
"She's also..." Gu Shaoting forcefully retracted the word "my".
"I also like Joy very much." Gu Shaoting muttered.
"There are so many things to deal with at work." Shu Pan didn't want him there. Joy's condition was stable now and she could easily get a doctor if something cropped up. There was really no need for him to be around. Besides, his days were usually packed.
"I'll wait for Joy's fever to subside before I go." Gu Shaoting was very persistent.
Shu Pan knew that she couldn't win the argument, so she took out her phone and called her boss to ask for emergency leave.
"Mommy..." Joy drifted in and out of sleep.
"Joy, Mommy is here." Shu Pan held her other hand.
"Dad... Daddy..." Joy suddenly shouted.
