Lizhong and his granddaughter settled down in the Mo Family. During the day, Liyan took meticulous care of her grandfather, keeping him company and chatting to alleviate his boredom. At night, she shared a bed with Mo Yan and her sister, but Lizhong's illness kept relapsing and showed no sign of improvement, casting a pall over the household atmosphere.
The misfortune that befell his daughter weighed heavily on Lizhong, who couldn't let go of his guilt. He felt that if he hadn't misjudged people back then and allied himself with the heartless and unscrupulous Zhang Family, his daughter wouldn't have been cruelly abandoned. What tormented him most was that her whereabouts were unknown, leaving him to wonder whether she was dead or alive. Every time these thoughts crossed his mind, he could barely restrain himself from wanting to take his own life.
