After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

In the bustling and lively Liangcheng, a top-tier hospital stands quietly in the east of the city.

The atmosphere in the orthopedic clinic of the hospital was unusually heavy and oppressive.

"Doctor, have you made a mistake in your diagnosis?"

This morning you said my daughter's condition had improved significantly and she could be discharged this afternoon. How could her condition suddenly worsen?

"This is impossible! You must have made a mistake!" Ruan Wanfu roared at the doctor in front of him, clutching the critical condition notice tightly in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

The voice was filled with despair and helplessness.

However, faced with the emotionally charged Ruan Wanfu, Dr. Zhao simply sighed silently.

Then, in a calm but firm tone, he said, "Mr. Ruan, please calm down. As doctors, we must make diagnoses based on objective facts."

Unfortunately, your daughter's condition has indeed deteriorated rapidly, and this is not a misdiagnosis.

The reason we chose to inform you of this privately here is because we don't want the patient to know, so as to avoid causing them further emotional distress.

Now, please take her home and try your best to fulfill her wishes and make her happy. Perhaps this way, she can stay with you for a few more days...

Dr. Zhao's words were like a sharp sword, mercilessly piercing Ruan Wanfu's heart.

He stared wide-eyed at the doctor, as if he had lost all his strength.

For this experienced doctor, life and death have long been commonplace.

But faced with the heartbroken family members of the patients, he could only helplessly remain expressionless and tell them the cruel reality.

Ruan Wanfu walked slowly out of the clinic like a soulless shell.

His steps were unsteady, and he clutched the critical condition notice that symbolized a death sentence.

Every step seemed so difficult, as if I were carrying a heavy burden.

Finally, he arrived at the small garden outside the inpatient department.

He found a secluded corner, and exhausted, he plopped down on a bench, staring blankly into the distance.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on him, but it couldn't warm his broken heart.

Time passed by, and Ruan Wanfu sat motionless, his thoughts surging like a tidal wave.

Recalling the moments I spent with my daughter, those warm and beautiful instants kept flashing through my mind like scenes from a movie.

Now, all these beautiful things are about to vanish, and he finds it hard to accept this cruel reality.

Ruan Wanfu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew that no matter how painful it was, life had to go on.

He had to be strong and be there for his daughter in her final moments...

More than an hour passed before he gradually sorted out his thoughts and forced a smile, but the smile was more like a grimace.

"Dad, what are you doing hiding here? We tried calling you but you didn't answer. We searched everywhere for you and were so worried."

With fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Ruan Haohao anxiously searched for his father in every corner of the hospital.

Finally, at the end of the inpatient corridor, he saw that familiar figure—Ruan Wanfu was standing there motionless with his back to him.

Ruan Haohao quickly ran over and grabbed his father's arm, as if afraid that his father would disappear if he let go.

He was panting heavily as he sent a message to everyone in the family group chat: "I've found Dad. Come back to the ward and wait for me to pick up my sister from the hospital."

After sending the message, Ruan Haohao noticed that his father seemed to be holding something in his hand.

He curiously reached out to take it, but his father quickly hid it behind his back.

Ruan Haohao felt increasingly strange. He forcefully pried open his father's hand and snatched the paper away.

When he saw what was written on the paper, he was stunned. His eyes widened and his mouth opened involuntarily, as if he could fit an egg inside.

Seeing his son's distraught appearance, Ruan Wanfu felt a pang of sorrow, and the tears he had just stopped welled up in his eyes again.

He turned his head away, not wanting his son to see his vulnerable side.

"Haohao, don't tell your sister about this, okay?" Ruan Wanfu said to his son in a low voice, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Ruan Haohao nodded silently, knowing that saying anything at this moment would be superfluous.

He gripped the paper tightly, trying to calm himself. After a while, he took a deep breath and said to his father, "Dad, let's go get my sister discharged from the hospital!"

So, the father and son helped each other to the payment counter and completed the discharge procedures for Ruan Mumu.

Throughout the entire process, they remained silent, only occasionally exchanging glances to convey their inner pain and helplessness.

Back in the ward, Ruan Mumu had already changed his clothes, and his luggage had been carefully organized by his mother and sister-in-law.

Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for Ruan Wanfu and his son to return so they could set off for home.

Ruan Mumu stretched out her arms contentedly, yawned widely, and then sighed with satisfaction, "Finally, I can be discharged and go home! Staying in this hospital for so long, I felt like I was going to get moldy and grow mushrooms!"

However, in stark contrast to his daughter's excitement, Nguyen Van Phuc simply replied expressionlessly, "Okay, let's go."

Then he took the first step and walked towards the door.

Ruan Haohao silently picked up his luggage from the corner and followed closely behind the others.

The group walked through the hospital corridor and arrived at the basement parking lot.

After Ruan Haohao neatly put the luggage into the trunk of the car, everyone got in and sat down.

Throughout the entire process, Ruan Haohao remained silent, as if something was on his mind.

The car slowly drove out of the hospital. Instead of returning to their villa in the city, they sped off towards their old home in the countryside.

The scenery outside the car window kept changing, but Ruan Haohao's gaze remained fixed on the distance, his thoughts already drifting far away...
