Carla took a mouthful of porridge and nodded.
"Okay," she said. She agreed to visit Allen without a second thought this time.
When she heard that Carla agreed, Andrea nodded in relief. "Okay! That's good. Callie, you should eat more..."
Carla was soon finished with her breakfast.
She sat in a wheelchair and went up to Allen's room with Andrea.
Before entering Allen's ward, Carla saw two men in a suit standing outside. From their suits and appearance, she could tell that the two men were lawyers. At the same time, she also saw Bonnie who she hadn't seen in the past two days.
Bonnie was a little surprised to see Carla. It was still a little difficult for her to accept Carla's real identity.
Actually no one told her about Carla's real identity. Not until this morning when she felt that something was wrong did she finally decide to ask the others.
She was finally told that the biological daughter of the Hua Family was found.
The biological daughter was none other than Carla!
Bonnie was still in disbelief. She still couldn't accept the fact that Carla was the one that Andrea and Allen were looking for.
She was angry at Carla because she might replace her position in the family one of these days. What made her angrier was the fact that the person that would be replacing her was her mortal enemy Carla.
When Carla entered Allen's ward, she saw that the two people were listening to him while recording what he was saying.
When they saw that Carla had entered the ward, the two people stood up and greeted Andrea and her. Then they both walked out of the ward.
"Callie... Come here..."
Allen, who was lying on the bed, gently waved to Carla to come closer to him.
Andrea closed the door then she pushed Carla towards Allen while saying, "Carla, go on. Get closer to him and call him Father!"
Carla looked at Allen who was lying on the bed pale faced with weary eyes. She wanted to call him Father but she felt as if there was something blocking her throat. It was like she was being hindered from calling him "Father".
It took her a long time before she finally managed to say something.
"... Father."
When he finally heard his daughter call him Father, Allen nodded gratefully and held out his hand to her.
Carla came in a wheelchair so Andrea pushed her closer beside Allen's bed. Then Andrea excitedly said, "Allen, did you hear that? Callie is finally calling you Father..."
Allen held Carla's hand tightly. Because of his excitement, his breathing became a little faster.
He cried out to Carla, "Callie... I...I'm sorry. I hope that you could forgive all of my shortcomings to you..."
Allen was seriously ill so his voice was quite low. However, Carla could still hear his words because she was so close to him.
When Carla looked at her hand that was held tightly by her biological father, her heart became tangled with various complex emotions. She was inexplicably nervous and worried. She actually didn't feel any happiness or excitement at all.
Maybe it was because they were currently inside in a ward.
Allen was a dying man. Carla and her biological parents had been separated for more than twenty years and they finally found each other just now. However, fate didn't allow Carla to enjoy the happiness of being with her parents because she was facing her father's death then.
Andrea finally broke the silence that was surrounding all of them. "Carla, there is something that your father wanted to talk to you about."
Andrea glanced at her dying husband and sighed, "It's hard for your father to speak now so allow me to tell you what he wanted to say. I have discussed this with him already.
In terms of the current situation of the Hua Family, we hope that you..." Andrea knew that this request was a little unreasonable to Carla so it was difficult for her to say it out loud.
Andrea paused for a while before she finally said, "We hope that you would marry Noah..."
Shocked by Andrea's words, Carla opened her eyes wide in surprise. She looked up at Andrea and shook her head violently.
When she saw Carla's reaction, Andrea held her hands tightly and said, "Callie, listen to my explanation. After that, you can reconsider. Your father and I both know that Terence is your fiance. We would definitely support you in marrying him in the past.
However, everything is different now!" Andrea cried.
