"Yes, it's taken care of," Xia Yuxun sighed quietly and handed the notebook to Xia Molin to see.
Seeing Xia Molin's eyes redden with excitement, Xia Yuxun's heart suddenly softened.
Perhaps...
Perhaps things weren't as bad as they seemed...
Perhaps she could overcome her inner fears?
Perhaps she could be brave one more time?
"Dad..."
Xia Yuxun clenched and then unclenched her fist, just about to speak to Xia Molin when, for some reason, he suddenly pushed her aside.
Xia Molin's strength was so great that Xia Yuxun was sent crashing to the ground. She struggled to her feet, not understanding why her father had suddenly pushed her, and rubbed her waist as she asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
She looked up, only to see Xia Molin's body falling straight down...
There was a bloody hole in his head, his eyes wide open, with a child-like happy smile still lingering on his lips...
"Dad—!" Xia Yuxun screamed heartrendingly, her voice cracking.
