......
Once bitten, twice shy. Kieran refused to believe anyone ever since he woke up.
However, his health had declined with age and he was all alone. He had no money, no home and nothing left. Who could he rely on at his age?
To put it bluntly, at this moment, because the two of them shared the same blood, they had no choice but to make do with one another.
When they returned to the ward, Danica got a bowl of soup for Kieran.
He stirred the spoon a few times. The hot steam burnt his fingertips. Kieran just took a small sip of it as his mind wandered.
Although this was not the first time Danica visited him, and the soup was delicious, his first reaction was that he was afraid that the soup had been poisoned.
Again, as though she saw through his thoughts or maybe she was bored, Danica took a small bowl and slowly drank some soup. It was an amicable scene and they seemed like a loving family but in fact, they were not on the same page.
...
It was not until both of them put down their soup bowl that Kieran could not help but say,
"Danica, I heard from the news recently that the richest man in Yecaeus City came to Casterwich City. He originally came here for his daughter's wedding but later on the daughter went missing or was kidnapped. Do you know about this?"
Danica looked up at Kieran in surprise. He couldn't even protect himself now. How could he still care about others?
"Yes."
Danica answered in a lukewarm tone,
"I've seen the news before! The wedding is quite the sensation. Many famous people from Casterwich City attended the banquet. On the Internet, according to the people who attended the wedding that day, there is something strange about the wedding. They say that the bride got cold feet and escaped. Some said that she was kidnapped!"
She did not know the truth!
Suddenly, the sound of porcelain bowls shattering, interrupting Danica's thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Kieran's face turn pale.
"Dad? What's wrong? Do you know this family?"
Why did he react like this?
He swallowed his saliva and his lips trembled. Kieran shook his head hard and said, "No, I don't know them!"
However, his hesitant tone revealed his true thoughts. Picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Danica saw that his hand was nervously twisting the corner of the quilt. Danica paused.
Was he nervous or worried?
When she sat down, Danica's expression became indifferent again. "Dad, there's something I want to ask you—"
"Huh?"
His movement seemed off-beat and he turned back, but Kieran was obviously nervous. The vigilance and fear in his eyes were obvious. "What is it?"
With a bitter smile, Danica said, "Dad, there's one thing I've never told you!"
As she spoke, she removed the wig on her head. Under the wig was a bald head. In an instant, Kieran was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
As if nothing had happened, Danica calmly put on her wig again.
"I got liver cancer and it has reached an advanced stage. I have only six months left to live. I didn't expect to be alive till now. Because of the long-term chemotherapy, my hair had fallen off! The doctor said that maybe it was because I was lucky, or maybe it was my willpower, so the treatment worked well. I managed to live for one or two more years, but it could only be controlled by medicine. I can no longer undergo operations and can no longer be completely cured! Everyday is a blessing to me! Dad, all I wished before I died was for you to wake up..."
"Danica?"
He was shocked. At this moment, there was a trace of pain in Kieran's eyes. He didn't know then that Danica hoped that he would wake up not because of filial piety, but to resolve the biggest regret in her life.
She had been miserable for her whole life. She wanted to die with the truth!
She was just waiting to die every day. How ridiculous her life had been! But heaven was so cruel to take away everything beautiful of hers, leaving her with a stupid son and a father who almost paralyzed, as well as an incurable illness!
God knew how she lived for the past six months.
She always thought that although her family was imperfect, it was complete and harmonious!
However, the reality was not just a slap in her face, but stripped her to her bone!
"Dad?" Could he fulfill her last wish?
Her fingernails pressed into the tender flesh of her palm. Again and again, Danica knew that he could. She looked at him with pleading eyes, and her unwillingness was slowly replaced by hatred.
After a long time had passed, Kieran coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I'll try to arrange it as much as possible! Give me some time—"
"Thank you, father."
She smiled at his reply. Kieran did not know that Danica hated his hesitation. He would have never thought that even as Danica was at the last legs of her life, her hatred fueled her.
Heh heh, this was her biological father! He had to consider the woman even as it was her dying wish!
With a smile still on her lips, Danica understood more from Kieran's reaction.
He only had the woman that he loved in his eyes! Anyone else, including his legal wife and his own children, were nothing compared to that woman! It was the same for her, even if she was the child of his beloved woman!
He had thought about it for so long, so he must be considering it on behalf of the woman! Was he asking for her permission, or did they have some secrets that couldn't be revealed? Or did she have a special identity?
In short, there must be something wrong!
Who was she? What kind of magic power did she have?
At the end of the day, they were selfish people who only cared about themselves and no one else!
At this moment, the hatred that Danica accumulated throughout her life exploded in her heart. When she walked out of the hospital ward, there was only one thought in her mind:
These two scums deserved to be cut into pieces. It was their cold-bloodedness, selfishness, and lack of responsibility that ruined her adoptive mother's life and caused all the tragedies in her life. Even if she died, she would definitely make them pay for their actions and drag them into hell with her!
