Early the next day, Luo Ye and Ye Xuan went to see Luo Lian off. Accompanying Luo Lian back was Jiujiu. Seeing Zhou Zhenhai, who was supporting the frail Emma along with Luo Lian, Luo Ye was montarily taken aback, then smiled and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."
"Hello, Luoluo." Zhou Zhenhai forced a bitter smile at her, looked into the distance, and then back at Luo Ye, looking as if he wanted to say sothing but hesitated.
Luo Ye smiled back at him, "If there’s anything, Uncle Zhou, just say it."
Zhou Zhenhai quickly shook his head, "It’s nothing, nothing."
"Dad wants to go to the United States with us," Luo Lian explained.
"Uncle Zhou is probably worried about Aunt Li and Zhou Jing, right?" Luo Ye pondered for a mont and understood.
"Yes." Zhou Jing forced a bitter smile. He really had no feelings left for Emma. When she asked him to accompany her on her final journey, he had initially refused.
In the end, after Emma t with Li i, Li i instead persuaded him to go along. No matter how much he asked, Li i wouldn’t say what they discussed, so helplessly, he had to go along. But how could he not worry about his wife and child?
Perhaps his wife was also worried he would change his mind at the last minute, which is why she brought their son but didn’t appear herself. His emotions were a tangled ss.
"Don’t worry, I’ll ask soone to help take care of Aunt Li and Zhou Jing. But, I believe the person they most wish to have by their side should still be Uncle Zhou." Luo Ye said, giving a slight smile to Emma, "Auntie, you won’t be upset with what I said, right?"
"I’m not upset. I know making him accompany is asking too much, but I’m really scared to leave alone." Emma gave a weak smile, "Luo Ye, I know you’re really concerned about Amy. After I’m gone, I entrust you to look after Amy."
Luo Ye nodded, "I will."
"Mom, you’ll be okay. Don’t always say such pessimistic things." Luo Lian reassuredly patted Emma’s back, her worry evident.
"Amy, thank you." Emma closed her eyes, filled with bitterness. She hadn’t expected that the one by her side during this ti was not her beloved daughter Alice but the adopted daughter she liked the least, Amy.
Perhaps, she ended up like this as punishnt from God? When she opened her eyes again, they were a bit clearer. She looked at Zhou Zhenhai seriously, "It’s better if you don’t go, stay with your wife and son."
"What did you say?" Zhou Zhenhai looked at her in surprise, then cald down, "Since we’ve already agreed, I’ll go with you for the treatnt."
"There’s no need." Emma shook her head, leaning closer to Luo Lian, "It’s fine with Amy with . There are so matters I need to discuss with Amy, so let Amy accompany ."
"Zhenhai, I’m sorry. Actually, before coming to China this ti, I already knew I had this disease. The doctors already told that the best dication could only let live two more months."
"At that ti, I really couldn’t accept the news. After spending two days in the hospital, watching the patients in pain, I just ran out."
"I went to the church, made a confession, revisited my life, and realized the only man who truly treated well was you. Leaving you was my biggest mistake. In my final days, I wanted you with , so I returned to China to pursue you again, relentlessly."
"Zhenhai, I’m sorry, I threatened your wife. I told her that if you didn’t go abroad with for treatnt, I would make you co et God with . And I told her that I absolutely had the ans to make this happen."
"She really believed . Zhenhai, she’s a good woman. Now, I don’t want to make more mistakes, you should go back and live happily with her. I’ll bless you from Heaven."
Zhou Zhenhai nodded, "I understand. I wish you a safe journey." He then turned to look at Luo Lian, "Lianlian, even though you’ve found your biological father, I will always regard you as my own daughter. Take care!"
"Dad." Luo Lian rushed into his arms, nuzzling against him, "When I co back, I’ll visit you first thing. No matter when, you’ll always be the father I respect the most."
"Silly girl." Zhou Zhenhai’s eyes welled with emotion, taking a deep breath as he looked at Emma seriously, "Please take good care of Amy, ensure she cos back safely. I’m entrusting her to you!"
Emma nodded, "I understand."

In the small conference room of the City Committee, Wen Song sat at the head, with Ye Aicheng and Director Liu seated on either side.
Everyone looked sowhat gloomy. The contract with L.L International had just been signed, when suddenly they received notice that all investnts within China were being withdrawn, with no room for negotiation. As for the penalty fees, they would be paid to the letter of the contract.
Wen Song glanced at the two, "Let’s hear your thoughts."
"Secretary, let speak first." Ye Aicheng said angrily, "These foreigners are so ungrateful. If we’d known, we wouldn’t have made the breach clauses so lenient. If our projects hadn’t started, fine, they could just withdraw."
"But the initial investnts have already been made. Their sudden change of heart has left us with a bombshell to deal with."
"If we stop work now, the penalty fees won’t even begin to cover our losses. Imdiately finding investors, where can we possibly get them? This is fifty billion, not five billion."
"I think now the only way is to look for assistance from the Six Great Families, see who is willing to take on this hot potato. If we look elsewhere, I fear we won’t have enough ti."
"I agree." Director Liu quickly chid in, then frowned, "But this might be a bit difficult, after all, we previously had intentions of keeping the Six Great Families at a distance."
