Chapter 1574: Terminally Ill

Aiden, who had just entered the water, was called back to the boat, along with other sailors who liked to die.

It is really a wise choice to dive on the side of the deck of the forward ship.

"What's the matter?" Mary, who was going to go kayaking in the sea for a while, found him.

Seeing Li Zitao's face, she knew something had happened.

She has only seen the same expression twice in these years, once when Li Xiaobin had an accident, and once when Ai Mo had an accident.

This time, who will it be?

"Sorry, dear." Li Zitao forced a smile and said, "I need to rush to Vegas as soon as possible, and I need to deal with something!"

Mary stroked his arm comfortingly: "Is it bad?"

Li Zitao nodded, this is the unique tacit understanding between them, there is no need to say anything.

The matter was urgent, and Li Zitao had no patience to wait any longer.

The Angel headed straight for California, and when it was about to reach the coast, a helicopter appeared in the sky.

Climb up the hovering helicopter along the hanging ladder, Li Zitao waved down, and the plane went straight to the airport.

At Los Angeles International Airport, a passenger plane that was supposed to depart for Vegas was delayed.

The passengers on the plane were stunned and didn't understand what happened.

This is an old-fashioned small plane, and the seats are on both sides of the door, facing each other.

There was a flight attendant on the plane serving everyone, and she seemed busy.

"Excuse me, when can we leave?"

"Soon, sir, would you like something to drink?"

"Why are we parked here, is there something wrong with the plane?"

"No, the plane is fine and we are about to depart."

The flight attendant seemed very helpless, and the tower informed them that they needed to wait for a distinguished guest, but they could not explain this to other passengers.

so……

Just when the flight attendant explained to the passengers for the third time that there was nothing wrong with the plane, but there was a mistake in time, Li Zitao's helicopter also arrived.

"Thank God!" the flight attendant murmured in a low voice, and quickly walked into the work room and opened the cabin door.

The so-called work room is a small aisle that is narrow even for one person, and she needs to curl her legs every time she sits down.

This unknown big shot will occupy her cramped seat today.

And service!

"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane is about to take off, please fasten your seat belts, because only then can we get into the air!"

The stewardess said humorously, she kept glancing at the workshop behind her from the corner of her eyes.

Stuck in the narrow aisle, Li Zitao felt a little uneasy.

He didn't want a seat or comfort, and now he just wanted to get to Vegas as soon as possible.

Because his Gulfstream is under maintenance and there is still one week to go, he is lucky to catch the fastest flight to Vegas.

The flight attendant said with the most gentle smile: "Sir, do you need anything?"

"No, please don't disturb me." Li Zitao said indifferently: "Sorry, I'm in a bad mood, I just want to get to Vegas quickly, ok?"

"Of course." The flight attendant backed out awkwardly.

One person in that studio is crowded enough.

Two people, it was a terrible disaster.

"There seems to be someone behind." The passengers were very curious about the passenger who 'just' caught up with the plane before takeoff.

But after the plane landed, all they saw was a figure from behind, quickly disappearing into an unremarkable Ford Model 2.

"How is he?" Looking at Dr. Xu who was sitting beside him with a haggard face, Li Zitao then asked, "You don't look well."

"Yes." Dr. Xu said with a wry smile, "I was locked in a room without a window, and until now..."

"Sorry, my brain is a bit sluggish from being alone for so long."

"Tell me about her situation!" Li Zitao thought it was better to focus on Xu Man first.

As for Dr. Xu, he will compensate the other party.

"Not good, very bad.

"

As Dr. Xu said, when he saw Xu Man, Li Zitao knew that their time was running out.

"You are here." The youthful look disappeared: "I didn't want you to see me like this, is it ugly?"

It looks like it has been specially taken care of by the ruthless time butcher.

The cheekbones and eye sockets were sunken inward, the skin was sickly waxy, and the look and stubbornness in the eyes were gone.

Li Zitao stood at the door, his legs were as heavy as lead: "No."

The moment she saw him, Ariel who was standing by the bed couldn't help crying.

"Jiaying, can we talk alone?" Xu Man wanted to support her body, and (Ariel) Xu Jiaying hurriedly helped her up.

Put a soft pillow for her to lean on, but the simple movement used up all her strength.

Hearing her heavy panting, Li Zitao caught up with him belatedly. After adjusting a more comfortable posture for her, he held his daughter's hand and said softly, "Leave it to me!"

"Take care of her." Ariel choked up and left the room.

She knew that the two of them would have a lot to say next, and what she needed to do was to dry her tears and arrange her work.

"Why do you keep it from me?" Holding Xu Man's hand, Li Zitao said softly, "What are you worried about?"

He can guess some reasons, although he can't be sure, but it doesn't matter now.

What matters is what worries her so much that she needs to hide her illness to pave the way for her daughter.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Xu Man said with a light smile, but coughed due to excitement.

Li Zitao patted her on the back lightly and said, "Don't get excited, it's not suitable for you to do this now."

"I know my body very well." Xu Man held his hand and said with a soft smile, "No matter how much time and energy you spend, it will only make the pain last longer."

"But you should at least try!" Li Zitao blamed him a little, why did she choose to give up.

"Isn't this great?" Xu Man looked out the window, "My life is wonderful enough, I have nothing to regret."

"The only thing that worries me is Jiaying." This is what Xu Man wanted to say.

Li Zitao didn't respond, his brain was thinking quickly, and guilt was growing in his heart like a germ.

Xu Man concealed her illness, but she also neglected to take care of her.

As a man and a father, he has no qualifications or rights to blame her for her decision.

And this is just like Xu Man's plan. In fact, she understands Li Zitao very well, and knows how soft his heart is under his cold appearance.

His own death and guilt will make him make a different choice, a decision that is beneficial to Jiaying.

And she will also use death to deepen his memory of herself, so that he will always remember that they still have a daughter to take care of.

No matter when and where, this longing and guilt will become the most beneficial help and weapon for my daughter.
