‘Don’t listen to him. Do not trust him…’However, why was her heart beginning to acknowledge it?Natalie did not take herself as such an unprincipled person. Or perhaps it could be said that her so-called principles had been continuously lowered ever since the day she met this man.It seemed like this demon had possessed her. Additionally, from the very day she met him, her world began to crumble down in front of him…She felt like she was always one step closer to the abyss. If she did not turn around, there would be nothing left of her… But, but, but…She did like him back!Although the thought of it despised her, what could she do if she genuinely liked him? Furthermore, now that she knew of his feelings. How could she be indifferent?It was just that even though her heart had been moved, she still had her reasoning. So, when she raised her head, she asked him in a straightforward, “If you say that you like me, how about Becky?”When faced with this question, John grew sil
She did not want to leave this house. Neither did she want to leave her father, but her father was not answering her phone call…It meant that he did not want her anymore, right?Molly could no longer hold back her tears when she thought of this. Thus, she began wailing instantly…“Hey, don’t be afraid! Mommy still wants you…”“No, no…”Molly could not accept it, and she was almost out of breath. “Daddy is different. I want my daddy. I want my dad…”Molly ended up being so frightened that she cried throughout the whole afternoon and even skipped dinner. That night, the little child caught a high fever and became dazed. Nevertheless, she continued to cry for her father.Becky stayed by her daughter’s side and watched as her body temperature rose from 101.4 to 103 degrees before finally going over to knock on the Old Master’s study room. Old Master Winters knew of her scheming devilish side and had always tried to stay away from her, but Molly was different. Even if she was Beck
Natalie could not retort his words because every word Sean had stated was correct.It was true that he had done so many disappointing things, yet she still wanted to believe him. Nevertheless, the words were still hurtful on the ears, so she could only stay silent at the moment.The more she acted that way, the sadder Sean’s expression became.“After everything, is he still that important in your heart?”“Dr. Quinton, I…”“I dare not claim to be better than him, but even if he is John Winters, the most prominent man in Hua City, I still think he can’t give you happiness. Do you really want to entrust your life to such a man?”“...”“Look at yourself; you can’t even answer me. How can you convince me to let you stay with him?”“Dr. Quinton, I know that you’re worried about me, but I’m really confused right now, so…”At this moment, Natalie looked at him pitifully. “Can you give me some time? I need to think it over again.”Sean, “...”He was not planning to pick a fight with
Jessica had more to say, but she did not retort out of respect for her brother.The moment she left, only John and Becky were left in front of the hospital bed.At first, they were very silent toward each other. Becky did not say anything, and John did not ask anything else. They merely stayed together with their daughter.Only when Molly, whose face was blushing from the fever, cried out to her father again, did John act and grasp his little daughter’s hand tightly. Subsequently, his eyes gradually became colder. “Do you really think I’m that stupid? Or do you think that I can’t see through your dirty little tricks?”“Are you talking to me? What are you even saying?”Even now, Becky was pretending to be stupid and unaware. This behavior of hers was truly disappointing for John.As the Winters’ eldest daughter, whether or not Grandpa acknowledged her, she could be as willful as before as long as he did. However, Molly was the only line she should have never crossed.Hence, since
Due to her lack of confidence, Natalie’s heart wavered unconsciously upon hearing Becky’s words.Nonetheless, even though she was shaken by them, she remained calm and unrestrained on the surface. Consequently, her current demeanor stirred up the resentment Becky felt in her heart.Thus, Becky exaggerated further, “You’re the only one I can beg. Please let him go, okay?”Let him go?Natalie was irritated by those words. Hence, she raised her brows and said coldly, “What do you mean I have to let him go? He’s the one that’s forcing me.”Upon hearing this, Becky immediately retorted, “Precisely! He has always been awful and forceful toward you. You can’t possibly like him, right? So, wouldn’t leaving him be the right thing to do?”Natalie turned her head away as if Becky had hit a nerve. Nevertheless, she refused to admit it, “I don’t need to talk to you about this kind of thing.”“But, it’s not fair for yourself if you keep escaping like this. After all, the one he loves is me! H
Was it the end?It would be impossible for her to escape this time, right?Natalie thought to herself, disheartened. She even shut her eyes in acceptance. However, her current actions were akin to a stab at John’s heart.He was always someone who stayed calm and collected. Even if the sky were to fall, or even if the most horrifying, frantic thing were to happen to him, he would remain unbudged.However, the moment he saw Natalie’s impending danger, and the way she had disdainfully accepted her fate, the collected demeanor he had been wearing all this time instantly collapsed…The surge of blood he felt in his head overwhelmed all of his rational thoughts, and he instinctively let go of his daughter on his back. Instead, he simultaneously leaped in front akin to a lioness protecting its cub…Only a mere second away, when the sharp blade in Becky’s hand was almost about to slice through Natalie’s skin, Becky’s right hand which was swiping backward was halted.She could not pull b
Becky committed suicide in such an extreme way.Although she was in the hospital, her wound was too deep, and the blood had back flowed into her trachea, so she was almost out of breath when she was sent to the emergency room.At that time, John, who was covered in blood, held his daughter who was crying hysterically in his arms. His originally cold eyes were full of defeat.He sat quietly outside the emergency room with his daughter in his arms. He did not speak or change his clothes.Until the doctor in charge of the first aid came out of the emergency room with a pitying look and shook his head, John's expression changed slightly, but Molly in his arms suddenly let out a wailing scream...It took Becky three hours to commit suicide in front of John and Natalie and then die in the emergency room.Knowing that her mother could no longer hug her, Molly cried bitterly. As for John, since he saw Becky commit suicide with his own eyes, he had not said a word for three hours.Whethe
His daughter's condition could be said to be very bad.Her illness was not cured beforehand, and then she was stimulated by such an incident, so the fever that had been gone began to appear repeatedly.John was worried, so he wanted to keep her in the hospital to be observed for a while.But maybe it was because she had a psychological shadow on places like hospitals. As long as she woke up and smelled the unique smell of medicine in the hospital, she would cry and call her father as if she was stimulated...John's heart ached for the child so much that he finally took his daughter home and asked the family doctor to pay attention to her at all times.After staying by the bed for half the night, John finally saw that his daughter's fever had subsided a little, and the child was sleeping soundly. Then, he went to the balcony to smoke.He was extremely self-disciplined in his life. He would smoke, but he had never been addicted to it.But that night, he was actually smoking them o
