The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“Go!!!”

The white phoenix swung its claw at Nan Fang. Its eyes were now filled with murderous intent, and it was no longer as innocent as before.

Suyi looked at the white phoenix again before quickly running toward the courtyard.

Nan Luo hurriedly chased after her. “Aunt Suyi, I know where Grandfather is. I’ll take you there.”

“Nan Luo!”

Wei Rong’s face changed dramatically as she snapped, “What are you doing there? Get out of here!”

However…

Nan Luo ignored Wei Rong and ran in, bringing Suyi to Old Master Nan.

Nan Fang did not say anything as he thought what Nan Luo had done was not totally bad. At least, her daughter would gain Suyi’s trust…

Then, everything would be worth it.

He never felt that Nan Luo would betray him because, after all, Nan Luo was his daughter; she would always listen to him. Moreover, Nan Luo was not very important in the Nan family; nothing would change whether she was there or not…

***

Nan Luo quickly stood in front of Suyi. Seeing Suyi accepting her help to lead the way, Nan Luo let out a soft sigh in relief and smiled.

‘This time, Aunt Suyi will definitely forgive and accept me again.’

She had betrayed her parents for Suyi.

Suyi indeed did not refuse Nan Luo’s help as she desperately wanted to meet her father. She only hoped to see him as soon as possible and no longer cared about anything else.

However…

The moment Suyi pushed open the door, her heart ached, and her tears almost fell.

She suddenly remembered twenty years ago when her long-lost father walked up to her and asked her if she would like to go home with him.

The man’s tall and strong figure was imprinted in her mind and never forgotten.

However, only after twenty years, he had become so old… So old that she was a little afraid to face him…

“Father…”

Suyi stroked the old man’s head that was full of white hair, gently. Tears fell; even her hands were trembling.

Hearing her voice, the old master opened his eyes and saw Suyi in front of him. His eyes lit up.

‘Suyi… My daughter…’

“Father, your daughter has been unfilial. I got here too late… Please forgive me.”

Suyi’s voice cracked. Her hand trembled hard as she held the old master’s dry, old hand, trying to help him up from the bed.

“I’ll take you away. I’ll take you to Qing’er. She must have a way to save you.”

The old master stretched out his hand, trying to wipe away the tears on his daughter’s face. His lips trembled, and tears slid down his cheeks.

‘It’s too late…

‘Too late!’

He was dying now, and no one could save him.

However, he was so grateful to see his daughter for the last time before he died.

The Nan family was not safe anymore. She should not come back…

The old master grabbed Suyi’s hand and slowly wrote a word on her palm.

Run.

‘Run as far away as possible and never come back!’

Suyi held the old master’s hand tightly. “Father, why are you writing to me? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

The old master opened his mouth, but his throat, except for coughing, could not make any other sound.

“Nan Fang did this… It’s his doing, isn’t it?” Suyi’s eyes were filled with anger as if they could burn everything down. “This ungrateful beast, did he already forget where he came from? If you hadn’t adopted him back then, he would not have survived until today, but… He has treated you like this and gone against you!”
