Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 395

Furthermore, Olivia was only a kid no more than 13 years old, so it was undeniable that Myra felt somewhat sorry for her.

As he ignored the look of annoyance in Sebastian’s eyes, Tony took Myra into his arms and kissed her forehead. He then comforted her and said, “My Myra is very kind-hearted. Olivia is a good kid, so you’ll come to like this younger sister.”

In truth, Tony also thought that Myra was severely lacking in familial affection. He wouldn’t expect that father of hers to show her a bit of familial affection, whereas both her mother and grandfather had passed away; besides, none of her mother’s relatives had ever come to her. Even though she looked tough on the outside, she was very vulnerable on the inside. She also longed for familial affection and her family’s company.

“Well, I could tell that she’s nice.” Myra paused for a moment. “Did you bring her mother to Bradfort City?”

“Yeah, I did.” Tony nodded. At the mention of this, his expression was slightly grave. “Her mother’s illness must be treated immediately; we can only reduce the risk greatly by having the operation in Bradfort City.”

“I…” Myra looked up. “Let’s find some time so that I… can visit her mother.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange for that as soon as possible.”

…

Meanwhile, Cameron was released from the police station by Monday. The police did a scrupulous investigation on him and found that he was involved in the Walton Family’s money-laundering activities. However, they couldn’t prosecute him for the time being because they weren’t able to find any evidence of him colluding with the Waltons. Soon after his release, Cameron managed to locate Alicia and Olivia’s whereabouts. When he arrived at the hospital with a scowl on his face, he saw Alicia—who was being protected by several bodyguards—as well as Myra, who was sitting in Alicia’s ward while having a pleasant chat with Olivia, his youngest daughter.

His expression changed instantly, and so did the expressions of the three people inside when they saw him.

“Alicia, Olivia…” Cameron was the first to soften his expression as he looked at the three women in the ward with a benign expression. He had spent more than a year looking for the mother-daughter duo, but the fact that they had come into contact with Myra caught him by surprise. Not only that, the three of them seemed to be on good terms. This reminded him of something, and his heart sank as he forced a smile. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re staying in the hospital? Do you know how anxious I was when I learned about your hospitalization? Also, Olivia…” He turned his gaze to his youngest daughter, who was sitting on the side of the sickbed. “Olivia, don’t you miss your father after not seeing him for more than a year?”

Both Alicia and Olivia looked at Myra with guilt and shame in their eyes, but Myra smiled faintly and said to them, “It’s all right. The three of you probably have something to talk about, so I’ll go out for a while. I’ll come in and visit you again later, Mrs. Parks.”

Alicia nodded softly to her. “Thank you, Myra. You’re a good kid.”

Olivia nervously took a look at Cameron before turning to look at her mother. Then, she looked at Myra and gritted her teeth. “I’ll go out with you, Myra. Mom will talk to… him.”

“So what if I believe her instead of you?” Alicia couldn’t stand such a side of Cameron. “I have enough judgment to know who I should believe. Besides, I don’t have to believe anyone. What threat will it pose to you even if I believe Myra?!”

“Threat? Have you forgotten what I gave you five years ago before you left?!” Veins stood out slightly on Cameron’s forehead. “That’s the greatest threat to me!”

Alicia looked at the man in front of her with a mirthless half-smile. “You’ve said this at last…”

Even though she had despaired of the man in front of her a long time ago, she had loved him deeply; she wanted to know what he truly cared about at last. She had some shares in the Stark Group in the first place, and Cameron’s words proved that he had always loved his interests more than anything else, not to mention that she and his first wife looked so alike!

Cameron noticed how frosty Alicia looked after he barked out that sentence. Realizing that he had said something he shouldn’t at the wrong time, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “Listen to me, Alicia. Myra is a crazy woman; not only does she refuse to help her own father, she even teamed up with Tony to set me up! Don’t let her deceive you, for all she wants is the Stark Group—the company that I want to leave to you and Olivia. Trust me; I’ll be nicer to you and our daughter.”

“That’s enough!” Alicia looked at him with a stony expression. “If you want the Stark Group’s shares that you gave me, I’m sorry about that. I have already left the shares at Myra’s disposal.”

“What did you say?!”
