David felt that he was dreaming when Vera rushed over to hug him. That was because his daughter had not hugged him for many years. Ever since she had grown up, they were not as closed as they used to be.

Although David spoiled her, it was impossible for him to hold her in his arms forever.

Besides, David and Vera had not seen each other ever since they had fallen out.

He always thought that Vera did not want to see him. He missed his daughter very much, but because of his pride, he could not bear to apologize and ask her to come home. Furthermore, he was the one who asked to end their father-daughter relationship. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if he had asked her to come home?

David was a person who cared a lot about his pride. He did not expect that Vera was more stubborn than he was.

Neither one was willing to be the first to give in. However, now, Vera actually rushed over and hugged him. Her burning tears fell onto his face.

"Vera, is that really you?" David gently reached out to touch Vera's hand. Vera was crying, but suddenly she thought of something and quickly retreated.

"How reckless of me. I was so excited you had woken up that I completely forgot you're still injured. Dad, I didn't hurt you, did I? How are you feeling? Do you want some water? Or maybe I should call the doctor?"

Vera asked a bunch of questions. She did not even give David a chance to answer them. After that, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the ward.

When David saw his daughter like this, he sighed helplessly.

It seemed that it was not a dream.

He doubted that his daughter would be like this in his dream. He did not expect that after so many years, she still had not changed. She was still as impatient as ever.

Vera got the doctor over promptly because they had informed her to call them as soon as David woke up.

So Vera recalled the doctor's words almost immediately hence she rushed to replace them.

After the doctor came, they gave David a full-body examination. After asking a few questions, they looked at Vera and said, "Miss Zais, your father is recovering well. The next thing he has to do is get plenty of rest. He is not allowed to eat any greasy and spicy food for the time being. Try to feed him some mild food. It'll be good for recovery."

Vera nodded quickly.

"Thank you, doctor. I know what to do. Thank you."

"You're welcome. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to come to me."

After sending the doctor away, the ward suddenly became quiet. Vera walked over to her father's bedside but kept a distance from him. Her ears and face were a little red as she was slightly embarrassed by her actions earlier.

After all, they had not seen each other for so many years, and Vera rushed over to hug him earlier when she realized that he was awake. Vera felt as if she had returned to her childhood, but she was obviously an adult.

She suddenly thought of something and took out her phone.

"I'm going to call Mom to inform her that you're awake."

After she said that, she turned around and was about to flee. Unexpectedly, her father stopped her.

"Vivy."

Vera suddenly froze. She was rooted to the spot and felt a lump in her throat when she heard her father calling her nickname. Tears started to pool in her eyes again.

"I haven't seen you in so many years. Come here and sit down. Let me have a good look at you."

Vera reached out and covered her mouth. For a moment, she choked with sobs and could not say a word.

Although her full name was Vera Zais.

But her father loved to call her Vivy when she was younger.

Her name gradually changed from Vivy to Vera.

She did not expect that after so many years, she would still hear someone call her by her nickname...

Vera choked with sobs. She could not bring herself to turn around. David could only stare at her back and watched as her body trembled. Her suppressed cries were like needles pricking into David's heart.

When David thought of the fact that they hadn't contacted each other for five years, the corners of his eyes also became a little moist.

Vera stood, trembling with her back

against her father for a moment before she said in a choked voice, "I, I am going to get you a glass of

water." After that, Vera went out net

David waited for her for a long t time before she finally came back. He did not blame her. After all, he knew that she could not control her emotions earlier.

When Vera brought the water to him, it was clear that she was much calmer. Except for her red eyes, everything else was normal.

"Dad, here, let me help you sit up and drink."

Vera came forward to hold him and placed a couple of pillows behind his back. After lying down for so many days, David felt that his whole body was stiff. It required a lot of effort to sit up. After that, Vera handed him a glass of water. David's hand trembled as he reached out to take the glass.

When Vera saw her father's trembling hands, her nose grew sore again. She instantly stood up and said, "Dad, come, let me help you."

After that, she held the cup for her father and fed him.

David did not refuse either.

After all, for so many years, all he wanted was his daughter to come home.

He was content that she was willing to come back to see him and stay here to take care of him.

After drinking the water, Vera asked again, "Dad,

do you feel any pain anywhere?"

David shook his head.

"If you feel any pain, you must tell me. I can get the doctor to come over."

"I'm good. I don't feel any pain. Didn't you hear what the doctor said? I'm recovering well."

"It's true, but..."

"Don't worry about me. Didn't you say that you want to call your mother? Go ahead, tell her that I'm awake so that she will not worry."

Vera was supposed to call Mabie, but she forgot about it because she was crying. Now that David reminded her, she immediately took out her phone and called Mabie.

At this moment, Mabie was in the kitchen, making lunch. When she heard that David had woken up, she turned off the gas right away.

"He's awake? Really? Then I'll head over right now."

"Mom..." Vera stopped her. "Don't worry. It's almost lunchtime. Why don't you finish making lunch, then come over? Besides, the doctor told me that Dad isn't allowed to have greasy food. He is only allowed to eat something mild, so..."

"I understand. I'll cook for you and your father, then head over to the hospital afterward. Take good care of your father. Don't make him angry. Do you hear me?"

"Mom! I'm not that kind of person," Vera said.

Although Vera was wilful, this was not the right time. At this moment, she would be sensible.

"Alright, alright. Look after your father while I make my way over."

After hanging up the phone, Vera breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone back into her pocket.

"Mom said she'll come over once she's done making lunch."

"Alright."

The ward fell into silence again. Vera felt a little awkward. After thinking for a while, she said, "Dad, how about I wipe your face for you?"
