Bai Zhan took the glass of water and sipped on the warm liquid. He sighed and said to Tong Huan, "I don't want to worry either. Yueyue told me that Han'er and Que'er are really strong-willed, much stronger-willed than I could ever be. But I am still their father, aren't I? How can I not be worried when they are sick? Even if they are getting stronger, I still fear for their lives."
His eyes turned red and he furiously wiped them with his arm before saying to Tong Huan, "It's all because of me. Their useless father, that they had to go through so much pain and suffering. If I were as strong as Lei Qian, then they would be safe without awakening. But it's I who cannot keep them safe."
When Tong Huan heard his response, she sighed. She understood what Bai Zhan was feeling at the moment because she felt the same when her family was killed by those thugs. If she had been strong enough to fend them off, then her adoptive parents and siblings would have been fine.
