Gu Qianqian rushed over as soon as she learned of Gu Dahai's awakening.
"Dad, you finally woke up, I thought you'd leave me behind just like mom…"
Gu Qianqian threw herself into Gu Dahai's arms, crying inconsolably.
All these days she had pretended to be exceptionally strong, as she was afraid her father might never come around, and she was even more terrified of being alone from now on, without any relatives.
She couldn't understand why her father had to fight with his elder brother in a life-and-death struggle when they used to be so close.
Gu Dahai felt a surge of heartache, his voice choked with emotion, "Qian… Qian… you… you… don't be afraid."
Realizing something was wrong, Gu Qianqian lifted her head and asked in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong with your speech?"
She then turned her head to look at Zhang Ting, "What's happening to my dad?
Zhang Ting patiently explained and comforted Gu Qianqian, "Your dad will be fine, it's just a matter of time, he needs to rest."
