Xia Mingwei never expected that the original owner wouldn't even have a chance to come back.

She suddenly felt a wave of weakness, unsure if she could hold on until the mission was successfully completed.

"What will happen to this body after I leave it?" Xia Mingwei asked the question that concerned her the most.

"Become a vegetable? Or die?"

"Death!" Xiao Ba gave a somber answer.

Xia Mingwei's mood clearly dropped upon hearing this.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ba quickly comforted him, "Host, this is already the best outcome!"

This was Xia Mingwei's first encounter with the word "death." She hadn't realized that even during a mission, "death" was not far from her. Thinking of this, a wave of helplessness washed over her again, and her hands fell limp.

Seeing this, Xiao Ba quickly comforted her, "Host, don't be too sad! The original owner's lifespan was also coming to an end, and making a wish consumed a lot of her soul power; when you leave this body, even if she can come back, she won't have more than a week left to live! Moreover, during this last period, she will have to endure the torment of illness, so she decided to leave directly! This is her personal choice, and we must respect her decision!"

After Xiao Ba comforted her, Xia Mingwei felt much calmer.

"Have you asked the original owner if there's anything else we can do to help him accomplish?" Xia Mingwei asked.

"The original owner hoped that while we were completing the mission, we could arrange the timing of her departure as carefully as possible! She didn't want her departure to cause too much pain to others, even if that person was her father!"

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei's eyes immediately welled up with tears again. She nodded solemnly, "Xiao Ba, please tell the original owner that I will do so!"

After calming herself down, Xia Mingwei decided to prepare for another key point in the plot.

At the same time, Li Ming drove Xia Mingwei home.

This trip was truly awful. Thinking of this, Li Ming felt a pang of guilt and said to Xia Mingwei, "I'm so sorry I couldn't treat you to a meal this time, and I even made you laugh at me for no reason. I'm so sorry! Next time, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal!"

Xia Mingwei didn't refute him. Her eyes curved into crescent shapes as she replied, "Okay! I'll be waiting!"

Although Xia Mingwei gave this answer, her heart was filled with a different story. Next time... who knows if I'll ever have another chance! And wouldn't you know it, her words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy!

When Xia Mingwei returned home, she found that her elderly father had been waiting on the sofa for a long time!

She had intended to sneak back to her room, but her father's words, "Stop!" made her silently retract her steps.

She gave her father an embarrassed smile and said, "What a coincidence! Dad, it's so late, and you're still awake!"

"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you!"

Xia Mingwei pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in his words and decided to continue playing dumb. "Dad, why are you waiting for me?"

He sighed deeply, and instead of answering Xia Mingwei's question, he began to talk to himself.

"To this day, I still clearly remember the day you were diagnosed with a physical disability. When I heard the news, I felt like the sky was falling. I couldn't believe that my lovely daughter had such a rare disease. Because your body destined you to die young, everyone around me advised me to give you up! Even your mother thought so; she wanted to have another suitable heir, but I refused. She didn't understand, and I couldn't give her a reasonable explanation either!"

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think it probably started the day your little hand held my finger, and I made up my mind to protect you!"

"Later, as you grew up and slowly learned to walk and talk, I became more and more reluctant to part with you! Reason told me that I couldn't invest too much emotion in you, otherwise I would definitely not be able to bear the pain when you left! But I still couldn't control myself and couldn't help but invest too much emotion in you!"

"Sometimes, I deliberately avoid these feelings and try to numb myself with work, which makes me feel much better!"

...

Xia Mingwei was shocked by these words. She hadn't realized that her original father's love had reached such a level. Faced with this intense paternal love, she didn't know how to react.

Just then, Xia Mingwei suddenly felt a tremor deep within the soul of this body.

Before she could even ask a question, Xiao Ba spoke up, "Host, the original owner said she changed her mind. She wants to come back and say goodbye to her father properly before leaving!"

Xia Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Why did she suddenly change her mind?"

Xiao Ba sighed and explained, "The original owner always thought that her father was busy with work because he didn't like her, so it wouldn't matter much if she left. But what she didn't expect was that her father had always loved her; he just wasn't good at expressing his feelings! Knowing this truth changed her mind, and that's why she changed her mind!"

Xia Mingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the original owner's decision to return. She couldn't bring herself to let the original owner die immediately after she left the body. After all, her mental fortitude hadn't matured to that level!

Xia Mingwei's father talked on and on about many things related to Xia Mingwei. These little things were precious memories he shared with his daughter!

I don't know how long he talked, but finally he said with a hint of pleading, "Weiwei, can you promise Daddy not to go to faraway places so easily next time? Daddy just can't bear the pain of losing you!"

"You actually sent people to follow me and monitor my whereabouts!" "Are you trying to restrict my personal freedom?" These thoughts flashed through Xia Mingwei's mind. But looking at her father, whose face had become much more weathered, she ultimately chose to swallow her words.

Seeing him like this, she felt that words of blame were too cruel for a father who only cared about his daughter. She could only nod and promise, "Okay, Dad!"

Hearing this answer, he felt relieved and patted Xia Mingwei's head with satisfaction.
