As a father, if his daughter hadn't done anything wrong, he would fiercely protect her to the end. Yet Tao Yi, when uttering these words, showed not an ounce of hesitation.
In that instant, Gu Mounian felt as though he had been thrust into an icy abyss, his entire body frozen from head to toe.
Clinging to a last thread of hope, he looked to Tao Jing, praying she would refute Tao Yi's claim.
She disappointed him.
The once eloquent and unyielding Tao Jing now hung her head, avoiding Gu Mounian's gaze, her sharp tongue utterly silenced.
Gu Mounian, as if his soul had departed, moved like a lifeless shell, step by step out of the hospital room.
Gu Qinnian, uneasy about him, followed closely behind.
Tao Yi, a man who had prided himself on his reputation for life, could never have foreseen raising such a disgrace of a daughter. Mortified, he turned to Gu Shiyan to apologize.
