The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 419 The Mechanical God Has No Heart 42

"Although the nearest hospital was nearby, Xiaoxi still couldn't be saved."

"The driver was sentenced and is still in prison."

"He is still alive, but my stream will never return."

After saying all this, Lin Huanming fell silent again.

Lu Renkui didn't dare to disturb Lin Huanming at this moment—Lin Huanming had finally mustered the courage to tell her everything she had suffered, and if Lu Renkui were to casually express any opinions now, it might drive Lin Huanming to contemplate suicide.

However, Lu Renkui finally resolved a question that had been bothering her for a long time—why Lin Huanming would put a medical record in the drawer related to her daughter, Lin Ruoxi.

Thinking about it this way, it seems Lin Huanming never asked why the system wasn't linked to his daughter when she was hit by the car. It turns out it was because he knew his daughter wasn't going to survive anyway.

"Now that I've told you everything, do you think our situations are the same?" Lin Huanming suddenly spoke after being quiet for so long, and Lu Renkui was so taken aback by Lin Huanming's action that she almost didn't know what to say.

"Um... Professor Lin, before I share my thoughts, I'd like to hear you explain some points I don't quite understand." Lu Renkui's mind raced. "I still don't understand—why do you think your daughter hates you?"

Lin Huanming fell silent again, then said, "What I'm about to say might make you think I'm irresponsible and making excuses."

"Although I was indeed not responsible enough."

“When Xiaoxi was receiving treatment, she mentioned to me more than once that she didn’t want to continue treatment.” Lin Huanming seemed to feel that sitting in the chair was a bit too monotonous, so he took out a small orange-red ornament from the drawer, held it in his palm, then opened his palm and held the orange-red ornament again, repeating this action over and over again.

“She said the hospital was too boring and she didn’t like the atmosphere, but I have to work and I can’t be home to take care of her all the time.”

"Moreover, it's more convenient in the hospital, and if anything happens to her, she can receive treatment more promptly."

"So every time she brings up this idea, I just reject it outright."

“Xiaoxi gets very angry every time she hears my rejection.”

"Her dissatisfaction with me accumulated as a result. I don't remember how many times I refused her request to go home. After she told me 'she doesn't like me anymore,' she barely paid any attention to me."

“From then on, I could feel her strong dissatisfaction with me every time we talked. At first, I didn’t take it to heart because there was nothing I could do about it.”

"We were in this state for about three months, and then she secretly ran away from the hospital."

"Then came the car accident."

"It's ironic, really. I was so busy when she was sick, but when it came time to prepare for Xiaoxi's funeral, I didn't have to worry about my research."

“Many people came to the funeral, and almost everyone told me that I had done my best, that Xiaoxi was a good child, and that they hoped I would get over it soon.”

“I was unusually calm at the funeral. After I finished reading the eulogy and stepped off the stage, someone told me that I had cried.”

“Since then, I often dream that Xiaoxi is standing in front of me. She doesn’t say anything, doesn’t cry or make a fuss, just like she used to be, but she doesn’t smile anymore. She just looks at me calmly.”

"After the funeral, all the memories of Xiaoxi came flooding back to me, and I realized that she had always been quite dissatisfied with me."

"She doesn't like my busy work schedule, and she's always serious and doesn't smile. She doesn't tell me that she could just say the compliment directly, but she always has to beat around the bush and make me guess."

"With so many grievances combined, I think she must hate me."

"She hates me."

“…She loves you.” Lu Renkui said softly after Lin Huanming finished speaking.
