Chapter 1434: All or Nothing
Chapter 1434: All or Nothing
Regret filled his heart; if his daughter hadn’t kicked over the chair earlier and been slapped by Su Zining, he would probably have left by now. How desperate his daughter must have felt at that moment.
Thinking of this, he felt particularly guilty and directly kicked Su Zining: "I never expected you’d be so unscrupulous, daring to treat my daughter like this. Just you wait!"
Xiao Keyi felt especially calm at this moment, even though the physical discomfort had completely overwhelmed her reason. Now that her father was finally here, as long as he was by her side, nothing else was frightening.
Su Zining had calculated everything but failed to anticipate Xiao Zhen’s quick return. He was on the brink of success, yet Xiao Zhen interrupted him.
"Uncle, please listen to me. I did all this for the two of us. You know that Yiyi only has Xu Ke in her heart, but I’m the one destined for her. What is Xu Ke anyway? He not only defies you but also doesn’t treat Miss well. I had no choice but to act in haste. Please forgive me, uncle."
Anyway, Xiao Zhen disliked Xu Ke immensely. Just mentioning Xu Ke would surely get Xiao Zhen to forgive him, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen became even angrier upon hearing this. Although he disliked Xu Ke, Xu Ke would never commit such indecent acts toward his daughter.
"Shut the hell up!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhen noticed his daughter’s body temperature was rising further and couldn’t delay any longer.
Taking her to the hospital was the best option. As for Su Zining, they could address him once Yiyi recovered.
Without thinking further, he carried Xiao Keyi out the door, while Su Zining sat on the ground and felt utterly hopeless. He had calculated everything but failed to foresee the final misstep. He was so close to success, yet lost it all.
No, this time he had to achieve his goal by any means necessary.
Seeing Xiao Zhen driving away, Su Zining, who had rented a car for today, wasn’t afraid of not catching up.
He got into his car and followed Xiao Zhen.
Once in the car, Xiao Zhen quickly gave his daughter a bottle of water, hoping to cool her down a bit and help her regain some clarity.
Xiao Keyi was in a particularly difficult situation, and her body temperature felt as if it might completely consume her.
"Dad, hurry up. I can hardly stand it. What kind of drug did they give me? It’s so uncomfortable."
Xiao Zhen was in a panic. Had he known Su Zining would do something like this, he wouldn’t have kept bringing him home. It was all his fault; otherwise, his daughter wouldn’t be in danger.
"Yiyi, just hang in there. We’re almost at the hospital. Just hold on a little longer, and Dad will save you. Don’t worry."
Xiao Zhen continuously comforted her, opened a bottle of mineral water, and poured it over his daughter, finally helping Xiao Keyi regain much of her clarity.
She looked at her father, her eyes red: "Dad, thank you."
Upon hearing her thanks, Xiao Zhen felt a pang in his heart. His daughter still cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn’t say thank you. How did their father-daughter relationship reach this point?
"Don’t worry. No matter what, Dad will stand steadfastly by your side like when you were little. I won’t let go of you."
With Xiao Zhen’s assurance, Xiao Keyi felt much more at ease. As long as she got away from Su Zining and reached the hospital, everything would be fine. But she really feared losing Xu Ke because of all this.
"Dad, can you call Xu Ke for me? I really miss him, and I don’t want him to misunderstand. Please, Dad, he’s already found his mother and will prove everything to Grandpa. Can you let us be together?"
Xiao Keyi spoke with such pity, and as she spoke, tears fell directly.
Seeing his daughter in the passenger seat weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, even though he disliked Xu Ke, there was no choice, as his daughter would accept no substitute.
So Xiao Zhen picked up his daughter’s phone, the password being his late wife’s birthday.
When his wife passed away, he hadn’t made it back in time. It was Xiao Zhen’s deepest regret; seeing his daughter now, he was determined to protect her at all costs. Whoever Su Zining was, even if he were perfect, what of it?
His emotions were complex as he dialed Xu Ke’s number.
Xu Ke hesitated for a moment; usually, Xiao Keyi should have been asleep by now, so why was she calling today?
"What’s wrong?"
When he heard Xu Ke’s voice, Xiao Zhen, though angry, managed to restrain his temper.
"Yiyi is in trouble; she’s insisting on seeing you. Also, head to the closest First Renmin Hospital to our home. Hurry over."
After saying that, Xiao Zhen hung up immediately, leaving Xu Ke holding the phone in a panic. Hadn’t he already gone home today? How could anything have happened? Besides, Xiao Zhen usually hated him, but no matter what, Xiao Keyi’s safety came first.
So Xu Ke quickly put on his clothes and rushed out the door.
Meanwhile, Su Zining was driving, following closely behind. Seeing the car in front moving particularly fast and then stopped by a traffic light, it infuriated him to wait for a traffic signal.
If he didn’t have to wait for the traffic light, he’d have no other way, just infuriating. Why did this traffic light appear precisely at this moment?
It seemed they were heading to the First Renmin Hospital. Under no circumstance could he let them reach the People’s Hospital now.
Xiao Zhen’s disappointment in him had surely peaked; if he let Xiao Zhen reach the People’s Hospital, there was probably no coming back for himself.
Su Zining’s face showed a particularly terrifying expression; before the traffic light was passed, he suddenly went crazy and drove straight through it.
Other cars waiting at the traffic light were startled to see a car rushing out. Who could this possibly be? He must be out of his mind.
Even the traffic cops directing traffic couldn’t react in time. Seeing cops present, an ordinary person wouldn’t dare dash through the red light.
Su Zining’s car accelerated exceptionally fast until he caught up to the car ahead. Without hesitation, he collided with it.
He intended to crash Xiao Zhen’s car to a halt, but a large truck appeared unexpectedly.
As Su Zining slammed into it, it crashed into the large truck, and the truck pushed Xiao Zhen’s car, causing it to fly out.
His heart leaped into his throat.
If it weren’t for the riverside guardrails, the entire car might have flipped into the water below. Xiao Zhen quickly protected his daughter in the passenger seat, fortunate that police had already arrived and were controlling the current situation.
Sanitation workers and several others quickly worked together to pull Xiao Zhen’s car aside.
Blood covered Xiao Zhen’s head, but he couldn’t worry about himself now. He quickly checked his daughter in the passenger seat and was relieved to find her unharmed.
