Bab 288: Right Here By My Side

"Dad?" Xu Mey had to call out to get her father's attention. Xu Cheng hummed in response. Xu Mey hesitated for a split second before voicing out her question, "Do you still... miss her presence?"

"Do you want me to answer you honestly?" Xu Mey looked at his inquiring gaze as if he was asking whether she'd really like to hear the answer which she might not like.

Xu Mey contemplated a bit in her mind and nodded her saying, "Yes... I want you to be honest with me."

"Very well..." Xu Cheng swirled the wine in his glass with his eyes following the movements of that red liquid in his glass. He inhaled a deep breath before saying, "To be honest, I really don't know what's wrong with my own heart. Does it still miss her? Perhaps it does... Or maybe it doesn't..." Xu Mey was conflicted to hear his answer. "But I do know that I'm scared of knowing whether she remembers me or not... The idea of being forgotten is a lot scarier than her absence."
