Xia Lu followed the duty nurse all the way to the nurse's station, watching as she took a tightly sealed envelope from a locked drawer and handed it to her.
"Miss Gao, this is what your father asked me to give you," the nurse said to her.
Xia Lu wanted to say that although she was Gao Qishan's daughter, her surname was Xia, not Gao. However, considering that she would need to provide an explanation if she said that, she decided against it. Whether her surname was Gao or Xia, her current identity was merely that of the biological daughter of the gaunt man lying on the hospital bed. Names were just symbols and made no difference at this moment.
"What is this?"
"I'm not sure. But patient Gao Qishan instructed that if you showed up during his critical condition, this envelope should be given to you," the nurse said.
The underlying implication of those words was instantly noticed by Xia Lu, "And what if I didn't show up?"
