While the old man was awake, Kang Chen sat by the bed and said to him, "Dad, I found Ming Mei. It was during my last trip to UC for Beitang Qing's wedding that I met her. She's doing well now. She asked me to tell you to keep the daughter-in-law's position for her and not give it to anyone else. She'll come back when the Imperial City is safe."
"She won't leave again in the future. Our family can be reunited."
The old man's dull eyes brightened a little. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, yet Kang Chen could see from his eyes that he was very happy and excited.
Kang Chen held the old man's hand: "Dad, don't get too excited. Rest assured, we are good now, really, she's not angry with me anymore. I'll show you the pictures we took together in UC."
Kang Chen took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed it to the old man.
"Dad, look..."
In the photo, Ming Mei was lying on Kang Chen's back, smiling brilliantly.
