“Daddy, it hurts! I’m dying…”

“I’m not receiving the treatment, okay?”

“I don’t want to feel hurt like this anymore. I don’t want you to spend money on me anymore.”

“Can you take me home? I want to go home… really want to go home…”

Inside the ICU ward, a tiny b*dy lay there. The once delicate and lovely little face was as pale as paper, but blood kept flowing from the mouth and nose, with spots of bleeding all over the b*dy!!

A small hand, using all its strength, grabbed Lachlan Willis’s hand with big eyes full of pain and reluctance to leave her father!

Lachlan’s eyes were red, and he felt like his heart was being pricked by a needle. The pain was ten thousand times worse than the knife wound on his left kidney.

“Nora, be good. I will definitely find a way to cure you. When you get better, I will take you home and make fried chicken wings for you, okay?”

Lachlan held the little hand and choked back tears as he spoke.

“You’re lying. I know I cannot be cured. Save the money. When I die, you still need to live.”

“Daddy, please don’t spend any more money on me…”

As he spoke, the little one struggled to lift her small head and took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant from around her n*eck.

“This jade pendant is useless for me to wear. I let you wear it and let it bless you!”

This jade pendant was a relic left by Lachlan’s father. It was said to be an heirloom passed down from generation to generation in the Willis family and had the ability to ward off illness and avoid misfortune.

After Nora fell ill, Lachlan put the jade pendant on the little one, hoping to bless her.

But now, it seemed like all the efforts to ward off illness and misfortune were just wishful thinking! Hearing these words, Lachlan felt his heart being sliced with a knife.

He tightly held onto the jade pendant that still carried Nora’s warmth, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. Nora was only five years old but so mature for her age. The more responsible she became, the more it tore at Lachlan’s heartstrings!

It felt like there was a lump in his chest that he couldn’t cough up, driving him crazy! His daughter followed her useless father and never got to enjoy the joys of this world – was she going to leave them? No! No way! Even if he had to risk his life and reputation, he would make sure his daughter continued living.
