The old man's weary face was filled with shock. It took him a long time to snap back to his senses. He grabbed the test results, which clearly showed the similarity in their DNA along with a resounding conclusion to confirm their blood relationship.
It turned out to be... It really was…Little Ai's child! Little Ai…
The old man remembered how Little Ai brought joy to the family when she was born forty years ago. He thought of his innocent and adorable little daughter, how he was excited to the point of tears when he heard her call her 'daddy' for the first time. He then remembered the disaster, the fire, and the destruction of the entire house…
The old man's body was shaking and so were his hands. Tears quickly rolled down his bloodshot eyes.
He had always been a strong resolute person throughout his life. He only ever shed his tears those few times because of his daughter.
