"Bert, did my father wake up today?" Bert, supporting her, said excitedly, "A few days ago, I noticed his fingers moving, and later he could even slightly move his feet. The doctor said he might wake up, but you were working, and I didn't want to disturb you. Today, he suddenly opened his eyes and spoke! Emily, your masked friend is really amazing; he managed to connect us with some incredible doctors. Look, your father really woke up!" It was Satan again. "Emily, we should thank him properly. Should we invite him to dinner?" Emily thought for a moment and said, "He's quite busy; he might not have time." Bert nodded, "Yes, he doesn't seem like an ordinary person; his status must be quite exceptional, right? He's definitely busy. How about... do you know what he wants? Even though we don't have much money, we can express our gratitude." What did Mr. Satan want? After thinking it over, the only thing Mr. Satan had mentioned to her was that he wanted a child. Emily looked down at her belly, pursed her lips, and said, "I'll ask him." "Okay, don't disturb him while he's working; ask him when he has time." "Mm-hmm, I understand." As they talked, they arrived at William's room. Medical staff were conducting various examinations on him. "Doctor, how is my father?" The doctor, a gentle middle-aged man, spoke softly, "Although his burns cover a large area, there's no sign of worsening, and his condition is under control. He will receive some anti-infection treatment. Also, regarding his heart... currently, all his readings look good. If he continues to recover well, he should be able to walk again." Emily was instantly filled with excitement, "Really?" "If his recovery goes well, there shouldn't be a problem, but it will take time. It's best not to let others disturb him. And don't allow his relatives to visit him either, as people carry germs on them. His skin and mucous membranes haven't fully healed yet, making him susceptible to infection."Emily quickly responded, "Understood, I'll remember that." They didn't have many relatives left. Sophia was busy becoming Mrs. Reed now, and she had no energy to come to the hospital. After the doctor finished the examinations on William, he left with a parting note, "It's best not to stay here too long. We should give the patient ample time to rest." "Of course." Emily inquired further, "Doctor, do we need to settle the medical bills again? How much will it be this time?" "Medical bills?" The doctor seemed surprised. "Haven't you already paid? Five million is pre-deposited in William's account, enough for a year." Emily nodded gratefully, "...Alright, thank you." Bert pulled her aside, his tone serious. "Emily, five million... when did you come into so much money? What kind of work are you doing now that earns you that much money? I know you're under a lot of financial pressure, but you can't resort to illegal activities or become a mistress!" In truth, Emily didn't know how to describe her relationship with Mr. Satan. Was she Mr. Satan's kept woman? No, they had agreed to marry, and they even had a child together. "Bert, I haven't done anything wrong. This money is an advance payment of my salary from my boss." Bert was half doubtful, half curious. "Really? Why would your boss be willing to advance you so much money? Don't lie to me." "My boss is very satisfied with my work. He's planning to promote me," Emily explained. "Do you still not trust me? I won't let you down." Bert was reassured by her words. He watched Emily grow from a little girl into an adult, and he knew she was a good woman. "Emily," Bert smiled with relief, "you've grown up. If only your father and I could earn a bit more money, you could go to university..." Emily shook her head. "Let's not dwell on the past. I still have a chance to go to university. I can earn a lot of money on my own now." "You've always been so understanding..." William, lying on the hospital bed, looked at Emily with tears welling up in his eyes. He reached out his hand, and Emily quickly grasped his frail hand. "Dad...""My daughter," William smiled, "I almost thought I was going to die. I am wondering if I would die like that, unable to witness your marriage and the birth of your children. My biggest wish in life is to entrust you to a reliable husband. He doesn't need to be wealthy; as long as he treats you well, I'll be at ease. The most important thing in life is finding a trustworthy companion and walking through life together..." Bert, hearing this, gritted his teeth. "You could have had a happy life. But you suffered a lot. Your life was ruined by that woman, Grace." "Grace?" Emily was puzzled. How was her father related to Grace? Bert sighed. "Let me tell you the truth. William's first wife was Grace. Sophia is their daughter. But one day, Grace insisted on divorcing him and leaving the United States. At the same time, your father abandoned your mother, who couldn't survive on her own. To take care of your mother and you, William chose to be your father. For you and Sophia, we've kept this truth hidden." Emily was speechless with astonishment. Grace abandoned William, just like Logan Morgan abandoned Lisa. Grace and Logan Morgan got married in Europe. Meanwhile, William and Lisa lived in poverty in America. William decided to become a father to the two children, but Lisa died in childbirth. Now, Grace and Logan Morgan had returned to America as wealthy people. Logan Morgan refused to acknowledge Emily as his daughter. It was absurd. The bad people lived good lives, while the good people suffered. William sighed. "You've been cursing her for so many years. Let it go." "I feel like I'll never curse her enough in my lifetime!" Bert sat down angrily on a nearby chair. "Not only is she malicious herself, but she also raised Sophia to be a bad woman." William sighed deeply, his face filled with resignation. "Sophia used to be a good child; I don't know how she turned out this way." "Sophia knows you're her biological father, but she still hurts you. In her mind, she only has her wealthy stepfather; she doesn't consider you her father at all. It's all because of how Grace raised her."
