The man lying in bed showed no response at all, when Nancy held his hand.
Nancy understood that no matter how she called, he wouldn’t react. He had been like this for many years.
She gently stroked the man's cold face with her fingers, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
"Daddy, Nan misses you so much."
It had been three years. During these years, Nancy thought of her father every moment. If it hadn’t been for him being hidden by Vivian, how could Nancy, with her personality, be controlled by Vivian?
Her father was vital to her, and Vivian knew this too well.
Vivian stood behind, watching Nancy's tearful face, disdainfully sneering.
It was a useless man. She didn’t understand why Nancy cared about him!
As a father, he didn't provide any support to Nancy, on the contrary, he had only been a burden to her. If it were Vivian, she would have abandoned this man long ago.
After a mocking glance at Nancy, she raised her hand and called over the nurse and doctor who had been taking care of the man.
The doctor walked in, greeted Vivian, and went to stand beside the bed. His gaze fell on the man's face, his voice cold and emotionless, "Your father's recent condition is not very good, probably due to lying in bed for a long time. His muscles have commenced the process of atrophy. But I’m currently massaging his muscles every day and using acupuncture to stabilize the situation for now."
Of course, Nancy was aware of this.
When she took care of her father before, she would massage his muscles at the hospital every day. As expected, Vivian didn’t treat him like her own father and didn’t take good care of him. After Vivian took him away, she didn't pay any attention to these things.
Fortunately, the doctor was doing it now.
