She only wanted to tell that scoundrel Brian about my death, yet she was harshly shoved out by her own father.
Brian, looking worried, gently rubbed and caressed Winnie's hand.
"Are you okay, Winnie? It's my fault for not raising my daughter properly."
Such a gentle tone—something he hadn't used since courting me.
"This must be Whitney's doing, instructing Lily to act up. I'll divorce her as soon as I get home."
Divorce? It seemed he couldn't wait to be with Winnie.
I was his lawful wife.
And she's just a home-wrecking mistress.
How could he treat his wife and daughter this way?
Winnie deliberately rubbed the bite mark, crying pitifully.
"Brian, don't blame Lily. Blame me for calling Whitney to bring the medication.
"It's all my fault. I caused Lily to hate me so much!
"I never expected Lily to bite me. It's all my fault, all my fault!"
"Hurry and apologize to Auntie Winnie!
"You're so young, yet already misbehaving!"
Lily wiped the blood from her mouth and stared coldly at Brian, her eyes full of disappointment.
"I won't! She's the one who should apologize!"
I got hit by a truck and was torn to pieces because of a prank call.
Brian made her apologize to Winnie!
Was this really her father?
At that moment, only Lily and I could truly understand each other's feelings.
Only the person who wronged you knew how deeply you'd been wronged.
Seeing Lily's stubborn temper, Brian raised his hand to hit her again.
Our colleagues nearby quickly stepped in to stop him.
"Mr. Mason, this is an issue between adults; there's no need to involve the child."
"Exactly! If it really can't be resolved, you should just divorce your wife."
Everyone in the company knew that Brian liked Winnie and that our divorce was inevitable.
They were openly suggesting Brian get a divorce just to please him.
Brian didn't want to make a further scene and solemnly said to Lily, "Lily, this is the last time, Aunt Winnie and I are just playing a game.
"Your mother is so dumb. If I had a heart attack, wouldn't I go to the hospital?
"She's just moved by her own emotions.
"No, she's purposely coming to the company to check up on me, always suspicious!"
I couldn't believe these words were coming from Brian.
I was dumb.
I was moved by my own emotions.
I went to the company to check on him.
I must have been blind back then to fall for his sweet talk.
"Shut up! I won't let you insult my mom like this!" Lily couldn't take it anymore.
