From Luo Damiao's words, Zhao Sanyue learned about the seriousness of his father's condition - late-stage AIDS.The news weighed on her heart like a heavy stone, making her unable to breathe.She told Luo Damiao that that person was her father, and Luo Damiao was also surprised by this.Deep in Zhao Sanyue's heart, hatred and sympathy for his father began to intertwine, forming an indescribable emotion.

Back at work, Zhao Sanyue told Zhou Yanan about his father, but did not directly say that he was his father.Zhou Yanan's reaction was also very fierce. She thought that kind of man was not worth talking to and should be left to fend for himself.Zhao Sanyue felt resonance in Zhou Yanan's words, but she also understood that she could not let go of her hatred for her father as easily as Zhou Yanan did.

Zhou Yanan's pregnancy became another focus in her life.She wanted to tell Chen Feng the news, but every time she chatted with him, it was all about work, which made her feel disappointed.In the end, Zhou Yanan decided to go to the hospital to abort the child, but at the critical moment, she hesitated.Chen Feng rushed to the hospital after learning the news, and his appearance made Zhou Yanan feel a little warm.In the end, she decided to keep the child, and Chen Feng also promised to marry her.

In the last moments of his father's life, Zhao Sanyue's inner struggle reached its peak.She not only hated her father's abandonment, but also couldn't let go of the blood-related family ties.After receiving the news from Luo Damiao, she rushed to the hospital and looked at her dying father on the hospital bed. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions.She wanted to say something to her father, but in the end she couldn't.

The aunt suggested that Zhao Sanyue tell his mother about his father, but Zhao Sanyue didn't know how to speak.Luo Damiao accompanied her home. Facing her mother's questioning, Zhao Sanyue finally told the news of her father's death.Although her mother was shocked, she also showed her concern and support for Zhao Sanyue.From her mother's words, Zhao Sanyue learned about her father's last wish before his death, which gave her a deeper understanding and acceptance of her father.
