Chapter 183 Freedom

"Ying Sheng….." Mr. Ying called out softly as if he was afraid she would snapped at him.

Ying Sheng looked up at her father and a great wave of emotions surged through her.

"I will leave you too alone. If you need me, call me." Liam said when he saw the tension between the father and daughter.

"No—stay with me." Liam raised his brows and nodded in understanding. He strolled towards her and sat beside her.

Liam took her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers. Feeling how sweaty her palms was, he gave it a small squeeze.

Ying Sheng turned to look at him and Liam gave her a reassuring smile.

"Dad…"

Mr. Ying stiffened when he heard her call him dad. Honestly he wasn't expecting her to ever call him that.

"How are you?" Mr. Ying asked her. He knew it was a stupid question to ask but he didn't know what to say. He was searching for her anxiously and when he finally found her he didn't know what to say.

"Good." Ying Sheng breathed out with a ghost of sad smile on her lips.

"I'm fine. Perfectly fine." Ying Sheng didn't know if she was trying to convince herself or her father.

A dead silence fell between them as they both fell into deep thoughts.

"I'm sorry….." Mr. Ying finally spoke breaking the silence.

"I never meant to hurt you. This—you don't deserve this. I wish things had happened differently. No matter what your mother said she didn't mean it. She still loves you."

Mr Ying muttered. Ying Sheng just played with Liam's fingers without saying anything.

"You would always be my little princess. I hope you know that. I know we don't deserve your forgiveness because we are the worst parents."

Mr. Ying said as he chuckled dryly. "But one day, I hope you can forgive us."

Ying Sheng looked at her father and her lips curved into a smile.

"I forgive you. It wasn't your fault." Ying Sheng said calmly surprising the people in the room.

"You...do?" Mr. Ying asked, shock evident in his tone.

"Yes. I don't hate you or mother. I hope you know that."

Liam frowned when he heard her. No—something was definitely wrong. But what? Her voice was so calm that it was scary.

Mr. Ying looked at Liam and they both saw the same questions in each other's eyes.

"Okay. I know this isn't a good time to tell you this but your mother and I are getting a divorce. We were supposed to tell you this but…"

"Alright. What about my brother? Are you going to tell him?"

Mr. Ying felt a little uncomfortable with how calm she was. It's like nothing happened a few hours ago.

"Yes, but not now. We are going to keep it a secret for a while. When he comes home for the holidays we will tell him."

Mr. Ying said as he stared at his daughter. For this daughter he was extremely sorry. She never got a single bit of her mother's love or his time.

"Congratulations." Ying Sheng suddenly muttered.

A confused frown marred on Mr. Ying's face.

"For what?" He inquired since he didn't know why Ying Sheng was congratulating him.

"The baby. You're going to have a complete family now." Ying Sheng said with a soft smile on her lips.

Mr. Ying mouth gaped slightly. How...how did she know. So she knew all this while?

"How—what…"

"It's okay. I'm happy for you truly. I hope you have time for this child, this time around."

Liam couldn't help but knitted his brows. He could feel it, that something seriously was wrong but he couldn't pinpoint what.

"I want you to do me a favor dad." Before Mr. Ying could recover from his shock, Ying Sheng finally spoke.

"What?" Mr. Ying asked. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like this favor.

"I want you to leave me alone. I want to figure out myself. I'm not asking you to leave me alone forever no. I just need space. Don't monitor me just give me freedom."

Mr. Ying pursed his lips as he nodded slowly.

"Okay." His voice cracked as he ran his hands through his hair.

"If that's what you want, then alright. But if you need anything just tell me."

Ying Sheng nodded.

Silence fell between them again.

"Then...I will leave now. Take care of yourself Ying Sheng."

Ying Sheng smiled at her father.

"You too dad."

Mr. Ying nodded at Liam and stood up.

"Bye."

"Bye." The moment Mr. Ying reached the door, Ying Sheng called him.

"Dad!" Mr. Ying stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Ying Sheng was standing there behind him. He watched in daze as she run towards him and hugged him.

She hugged him so tightly as if she was saying goodbye.

Mr. Ying hugged her back and blinked away the tears that was threatening to come.

After they pulled away, Ying Sheng tip toes and whispered something in his ears.

Mr. Ying widened his eyes and his face paled.

Before he could snapped out of his stupor, Ying Sheng had planted a kiss on his cheeks and was walking away.

W-what did she mean by those words? Mr. Ying wanted to go back and ask her but his phone rang.

"Sir, Miss Mo is currently in the hospital. She was complaining of stomach ache earlier, so I brought her to the hospital. I was afraid something must be wrong with the baby."

The caretaker said the moment the call was connected.

"Okay, which hospital are you? Is the baby okay?...."

Mr. Ying said with panic as he completely forgotten about what Ying Sheng had said. He rushed to his car and drove away.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked Ying Sheng.

Ying Sheng nodded, "Thank you, Liam. "

Liam nodded and softly caressed her cheeks.

Liam nodded. He wanted to press a kiss on her forehead but he knew better.

"Go take a shower and rest."

Ying Sheng nodded and walked towards her room. Her eyes flickering with an unknown emotion.
