"Dad, where are you? Did you go gambling again?" In the evening, Ye Qiu's small clinic had quieted down a lot, as he was tallying today's earnings, a call from Ye Chan came through, her tone panic-stricken and anxious.
Ye Qiu chuckled, unoffended, but rather cautiously replied: "Chanchan, don't panic, dad didn't go gambling. Dad understands his mistakes now, I've quit gambling."
"Really?" Ye Chan asked, unconvinced.
"Really, I swear on my life to you, if dad gambles again, you can disown me as your father," Ye Qiu stated with conviction.
Yet, Ye Chan suddenly interrupted him, "Why say something so serious all of a sudden? You haven't committed an unforgivable sin. How could I not acknowledge you?"
Ye Qiu felt somewhat guilty upon hearing this; although his "past life" was not unforgivable, he essentially drove his daughter to a dire situation, no different from a scumbag.
"So where are you right now?" Ye Chan asked again.
"At North Alley, in a clinic called Qiuchan Clinic."
