Chapter 222 215 Daughter and Puppy
In Lighthouse Country's New York, in a small apartment outside Flushing, Taschwe hesitated at the door, unsure whether he should knock.
A few minutes passed, and there was a noise from the direction of the stairs. A rather attractive young mother returned with her daughter, who was only about four or five years old.
The young mother was Asian, and the little girl had some mixed-race features. When the little girl saw Taschwe standing at the door, she exclaimed with joy, "Daddy."
Seeing his little girl, all of Taschwe's hesitation disappeared, and a heartfelt warm smile emerged on his face as he saw his daughter. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"My little sweetheart!" Taschwe scooped up his daughter and lifted her high into the air.
However, the young mother's reaction to seeing Taschwe was far from joyful.
The young mother stepped forward, took her daughter out of Taschwe's arms, and said somewhat coldly, "I've already told you, Cindy and I don't need your money. Please don't disrupt my life."
Taschwe became extremely embarrassed, and the little girl, sensing the adults' unfriendly atmosphere, fell silent, daring not to speak, and looked at her mom and dad with big eyes.
Taschwe let out a helpless sigh. No matter how carefree and reckless he was in front of others, he simply couldn't be that way in front of this mother and child.
"Amelia, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you," he said.
"Then why did you show up? I thought I made it clear that I didn't want to see you again."
Taschwe knew there were a million very good reasons for the woman's hardness. This somewhat frail-looking woman was once an ordinary international student named Fang Ping, serving as a waitress at Taschwe's parties. Taschwe was attracted to her, and they had a fling and fell passionately in love. Just when Fang Ping thought she might marry a stylish and wealthy man, Taschwe told her he still wasn't ready to settle down.
Fang Ping left, and Taschwe didn't take it seriously, until more than a year ago, when she informed him that they had a daughter. It was only when his daughter was critically ill and in need of a substantial amount of medical expenses that Taschwe realized he'd unwittingly become a father.
Seeing her daughter like that, Fang Ping finally let Taschwe into the house.
As he opened the door, a dog ran over. Taschwe petted the little dog's head and smiled, asking, "When did you get a Labrador?"
Cindy held the little dog's neck affectionately and said, "A really kind uncle on the street gave it to me, Jolly is my good friend, and it's the best behaved."
The Labrador, only a few months old, nuzzled up to Cindy affectionately, its grinning expression seemed like a smile. Taschwe also seemed to like the little dog. While playing with his daughter, the obedient little dog lay by their side, very well behaved.
After staying at home for a while, Fang Ping's defenses seemed to relax a bit, and she asked Taschwe, "Have you undergone Genetic Advantage Liberation?"
Taschwe nodded, "Everyone who enters the Universe Army does it. Otherwise, you just can't withstand the harsh environment of space. Like me piloting a fighter jet, I could be subjected to tens of G's of force; a normal person's body would have burst long ago."
Fang Ping then asked, "I've heard that having it done can make your body healthier?"
Taschwe understood Fang Ping's concerns; their daughter Cindy had always had poor health, even suffering a serious illness before, and sometimes she still needed to see the doctor regularly for check-ups. Taschwe immediately said, "Indeed, Genetic Advantage Liberation can greatly improve a person's immunity and reduce the chances of contracting serious diseases at the genetic level. Not to mention, it can also significantly extend life expectancy. Cindy is still young; if she does it soon, the effects will be better, and her lifespan could exceed two hundred years, like an average person from Iridium Star."
Anxious about her daughter's health, Fang Ping couldn't help but take it seriously.
Taschwe hurriedly said, "You just need to apply to go to Spratly Island. When filling out the relative section, add me in and indicate my identity as a Star Alliance Universe Army officer. Even though we are not a family, you will still be considered a priority for the immigration queue."
Fang Ping didn't speak, but she nodded her head.
Taschwe breathed a sigh of relief; if Fang Ping and Cindy went to Spratly Island, the amount of money he gave them wouldn't matter anymore. Because there, all the reasonable living expenses were taken care of, and there was no extra money to spend. Being able to watch his daughter grow up better also settled one of Taschwe's worries.
The little dog named Jolly at the family's feet still lay there, lazily wagging its tail.@@@@
