After returning to her room, she soaked herself in the warm bathtub. However, Nancy couldn't feel the heat of the hot water.

Her heart was cold.

Staring at the clear water in the bathtub, Nancy suddenly thought of dying to end everything.

After death, there's no need to be afraid anymore. Anyway, they will soon have a healthy child. Even without me, they won't be lonely when they're old...

Nancy softened her body and allowed herself to slide into the bathtub. Gradually, the warm water engulfed her neck, mouth, and nose.

She was wrapped in water and her mouth was filled with water. It was very uncomfortable for her to be choked by warm water as it entered her lungs. When the grim reaper really approached and her body was about to reach its limit, Nancy suddenly felt fear.

Crash...

Nancy suddenly emerged from the bathtub and laid by the side, coughing non-stop until her eyes were red.

Knock knock.

"Nanc, is it convenient for me to come in?" Lee Jung Jae's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Hearing the commotion, Nancy panicked. "Cough cough!" She couldn't help coughing again.

But the bathroom was soundproof. Standing outside the room, Lee Jung Jae didn't hear Nancy coughing.

[fuzzy]After waiting for a long time without hearing Nancy's reply, Lee Jung Jae felt uneasy. "Nancy, what are you doing? Why aren't you saying anything?" As Nancy had cut her own wrists to commit suicide once, Lee Jung Jae was already on high alert. He was worried that Nancy would commit suicide on the spot.

The deafening sound of the door slamming scared Nancy so much that she hurriedly stood up from the bathtub. She quickly put on her bathrobe, pressed down on her aching lungs, and shouted towards the door. "Father, wait a moment. I am bathing."

Hearing this, Lee Jung Jae stopped banging on the door.

After standing at the door for three to four minutes, the door in front of Lee Jung Jae was pulled open.

He glanced down and saw Nancy's pathetic state. Nancy's hair was dripping wet and the water on her face had clearly been wiped off by a towel, but it was still wet.

Her eyes seemed to have been washed by the cleanest water. At a glance, they were clear and bright, like the eyes of an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

"Are you done bathing?" Lee Jung Jae stared at Nancy's wet hair with his eyes dark.

Nancy didn't dare to meet her father's eyes for fear of her lie being seen through. "Yes, I also washed my hair."

Lee Jung Jae chuckled. "You seldom wash your hair at night." Nancy usually washed her hair early in the morning and then styled it.

Nancy said, "I went to have barbeque with elder sister tonight. I smell like meat and won't be able to sleep until I wash my hair."

Lee Jung Jae seemed to believe her and didn't probe further. He strode into the room and closed the door behind him. Nancy stared at the tightly shut door, feeling somewhat uneasy. Did Father detect something?

"Wipe your hair." Lee Jung Jae tossed a towel over Nancy's head.

Nancy was filled with guilt and uneasiness, as she had almost commited suicie just now. She didn't even have the guts to face Lee Jung Jae. She obediently held the towel and gently rubbed her wet hair.

Lee Jung Jae's eyes were filled with pain as he stared at his daughter's wavering figure. He could tell that Nancy was lying and guessed what Nancy had done in the bathroom. Lee Jung Jae was very upset that he had nearly lost his daughter again.

Recalling what he had learned today, he was even more determined to buy a healthy heart for Nancy. "Nancy, do you know of the Dark Web?" Lee Jung Jae suddenly asked.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The father-daughter duo exchanged glances. Lee Jung Jae's eyes were dark, as if he was plotting something major. Nancy's pupils quivered as a sense of uneasiness crept into her heart. "Father, why are you asking about that?"

The so-called Dark Web was an illegal website for illegal transactions. The Dark Network was very deep and covered every corner of the Internet. It was like a vast ocean hidden under an iceberg, unfathomable.

All those who had dealings with the Dark Net were people who had crossed their moral boundaries.

"Father, don't do illegal things." Nancy didn't know what Lee Jung Jae wanted to do, but his current state made her panic.

Lee Jung Jae licked his lips. He didn't dare to look straight into Nancy's eyes. Instead, he gazed at the floor beneath him and said in a low voice, "You might not know this, but there are over a million people in our country who need an organ transplant every year. But only a small minority are willing to donate their organs after death. What do you think those who need an organ to save their lives should do?"

Nancy was no longer a child. She was 20 years old and naturally knew that there were dark, dirty, and terrible deals hidden behind the beautiful society.

She could guess what Lee Jung Jae wanted to do. Her entire body swayed and her legs went weak. "Father, that's not right. It's illegal. Once you're discovered, you will go to jail!"

Nancy's legs went soft as she knelt on the floor. Her knees rubbed against the floor as she moved to Lee Jung Jae.

Kneeling on the floor, Nancy looked at Lee Jung Jae with teary eyes. "Father!" Tears streamed down Nancy's dainty face. She grabbed Lee Jung Jae's cold hand as her heart clenched in pain.

She begged Lee Jung Jae. "Father, I am begging you. Don't do that. I am not worth it!"

[fuzzy]Lee Jung Jae's eyes were also red. He cupped Nancy's cheeks and looked at his daughter's youthful and beautiful face. His heart ached. "Nanc, you are Father and Mother's baby. You are only 20 years old and your life has just reached its most brilliant stage. I cannot bear to see you die!"

"You are my darling. You are worthy of me doing anything for you!" For her, Lee Jung Jae could be a murderer or do anything illegal.

He only wanted Nancy to live!

Nancy shook her head vehemently. "No, no! I don't want you to do all this for me. Father, I'd rather die than have you commit a crime for me!"

"Nancy, listen to me. Father will be fine. I've checked. Once this matter is exposed, I only need to be jailed for a few years. If a few years in prison can save your life, I feel it will be worth it!"

"Moreover, I am still young. I will be healthy even after a few years in prison." Wiping away Nancy's tears, Lee Jung Jae kissed his daughter's head. His throat tightened as he choked. "As long as you can live on, everything will be worth it."

Hearing that Lee Jung Jae would only need to spend a few years in jail for that, Nancy's tough heart suddenly sank.

[fuzzy]She knew very well that she should advise Lee Jung Jae not to continue making mistakes, but her urge to live was so strong. Who wants to die? I'm only 20 years old and I had just met someone I liked. I wanted to get married and have a child with the person I loved.

Nancy was tempted.

She hugged Lee Jung Jae's waist gently and apologized tearfully. "Father, I have harmed you. I'm useless! Your daughter is unfilial..."

"You didn't do anything wrong, Nanc. You didn't do anything wrong!" Lee Jung Jae wiped his own tears and pushed Nancy away. He stood up, took a deep breath, composed himself, and was about to leave Nancy's room.
