Chapter402
It was just that when her mom passed away, she was little, and
she didn’t know why her dad left.
Since I came today, I asked.
“Dad, why did Mom jump off the building back then?”
Irvin thought it was weird, Terrence knew Bethany wasn’t his
biological daughter, but Bethany herself didn’t know.
But Terrence knew, and he didn’t dare to lie to Bethany.
“Actually, your mom had a mental illness.”
Say half, hide half, that’s not really lying.
When he said that, Bethany kind of felt like that was true.
Sometimes, she woke up in the middle of the night and found
herself in her mother’s arms. She was already six or seven years
old, but her mom still wanted to breastfeed her.
Sometimes, it seemed pretty normal and didn’t look like there
was any problem.
“After she passed away, why did you leave me alone and not
Chapter402
care about me for all these years?”
“I owed people gambling debts back then, even selling the house
wasn’t enough to pay them back, so I had to hide. If I went to see
you, wouldn’t I drag you and your grandma into it too? Later on,
I… I… I got locked up, so I really couldn’t go back to find you.”
Bethany was really pissed off by his irresponsible words.
“Am I really your biological daughter or not? I checked, you
only got locked up ten years ago, what about those eight or nine
years before that? You were just hiding from debt, you couldn’t
even send me a message or secretly come see me, do you know
I…”
When she was a kid, she still missed her dad a lot.
She hoped that one day, her dad would suddenly come back to
her.
Irvin didn’t dare tell the truth. Terrence had talked to him and
said as long as he kept quiet, he’d get him out of jail soon, give
him some money, and help him go abroad.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you were my
biological daughter. Back then I found a woman outside, spent
every day busy dating and flirting, didn’t have time to go back.
Anyway, your grandma would take good care of you, so I didn’t
Chapter402
worry about you at all.”
“You!”
Bethany was just speechless. How could there be such an
irresponsible father? It completely shattered all her fantasies
about her dad.
“Forget it, I won’t ask you about the past anymore. There’s
something I wanted your help with.”
“What is it, you said?”
Bethany didn’t want to tell him for now that she had cancer and
needed a liver transplant.
“I saw you were about to get out of prison, I’ll go see if I can
figure out a way to get you out earlier.”
