Chapter 1919
Lyric wiped her tears and pursed her lips with bitterness, "My father doesn't care about me. I've been living alone since I was thirteen. When my mother left me, she told me that I had to learn to grow up, because I had no one to rely on. Therefore, I can cook, do housework wash clothes and so on."
Eden smiled and reached out to wipe the tears on her face, saying softly, "That's great. We have to learn to be independent, and we can't always rely on our parents. It's not bad to live independently. Only by doing everything in person can we feel the meaning of life. When we get old and recall the past days, we will feel that we have a full life. In fact, it's a kind of happiness."
Although she was lonely, this was something she had to experience in life.
"Eden, you are right. I know a lot more than people of the same age, but living alone is really depressing." Lyric held the quilt and put her head on her uninjured knee. Hearing Eden's comforting words, she felt much better and smiled sweetly again.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Eden got up and went out. When she reached the door, she turned around and said, "There is some bread and pastries in the bag. Eat some if you are hungry."
"Okay!" Lyric took over the pastries and had a look. There were pancakes and cupcakes. She was so touched! What Eden had brought were all her favorites.
"Sure enough, girls are more considerate." Last night, she suddenly wanted to eat something sweet and asked Jasper to buy a cake for her. But it was too sweet to eat.
The cupcake was not too sweet, and it was delicious. Eating it made her feel so delighted.
She took a bite. It was really soft and yummy.
"Mom, dad, she is living here. Look at how luxurious this ward is. Ordinary people can't afford to live here." An unpleasant voice sounded outside the ward. Was it Ansley?
Lyric's eyes turned gloomy and cold, and she no longer looked innocent.
When the door was opened, she saw her father whom she hadn't seen for many years. He was slightly fat, and he was no longer as imposing as he used to be. Lyric's mother came with him. She was very thin and wore a red dress, looking tart and mean. Clearly, she was very difficult to get along with.
Lyric said in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"
Lyric's father was startled, and he looked as if he had been dealt a severe blow. Looking at Lyric's indifferent face, he immediately suppressed his sadness.
"Lyric, I came to see you. I heard from your sister that you were hospitalized." Javon Lamb looked at Lyric. They hadn't seen each other for many years. She had really grown up, and she was as beautiful as her mother.
Back then, he failed to make them stay no matter how hard he tried.
"Ha-ha..." Lyric sneered, and her heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. Such feelings were agonizing.
"Thanks for your concern, but you'd better go. You've never cared about me, and I don't want your hypocritical love now." Lyric was very apathetic.
The reason why there came here was very simple. They heard from Ansley that Lyric had a good relationship with the president of Joye Group.
Lyric knew what kind of person Ansley was very well. She was extremely shameless and philistine. She loved money, and she tried her best to flatter those rich men when she met them.
"Oh, Lyric, it seems that you've misunderstood us. We didn't abandon you back then. It was you who didn't want us to care about you. Your father wants to see you all the time, but you refuse to meet him." Ansley's mother looked at Lyric with a smile. She looked mean. Her eyes were small and her brows were narrow, looking so unpleasant to the eye.
Seeing this woman, Lyric was even angrier.
She remembered that when she was a child, her mother always hid in the room and kept crying because her father had a mistress.
In front of her and the relatives, her mother tried her best to hide her pain. They didn't know that Javon had betrayed her until they divorced and Javon took the mistress and their daughter home. Javon cheated on her mother, and his illegitimate daughter was only one year younger than her.
At that time, she was young, and she did not know what this meant. She only knew that her mother was very sad.
Her mother thought that she married the right man. She gave up her bright future and became a housewife.
However, her father let her down in just a few years.
Marriage should be the destination of love, but many tragedies happened in marriage. If Javon only wanted to divorce her mother, it was understandable.
However, he betrayed her, which was something unforgivable. In the end, all he got was sorrow and deep regret.
However, her mother gave up everything because of him. She just wanted to prove her true love.
No matter how she comforted herself, it was useless. His betrayal made her so painful, and this was a tragedy.
Lyric glared at her. Hearing her words, she was so furious that her heart trembled violently, "Is it because I don't want to see my father or your daughter speaks ill of me before you? I think she knows the truth very well."
"Lyric, you don't want to see dad. How can you blame me for this?" Ansley looked a little nervous. She didn't want her father to meet Lyric!
If it weren't for the fact that she could get some benefits, she wouldn't have brought her father here!
All the money made by her father belonged to her. What right did Lyric have to get it?
She knew that Jasper had left, so she was not afraid of Lyric at all!
"Is that so? That's just your onesided statement. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Anyway, I don't want to see you. Leave here immediately! I don't want to see you again!"
Lyric said excitedly. She had been looking forward to see her father, but she didn't expect to meet him under such a circumstance.
"Ha-ha... Lyric, you don't want to have anything to do with us because you've known a rich man, right?" Ansley didn't intend to let her go. She wouldn't allow Lyric to live a better life than her.
Hearing this, Lyric was so angry but she laughed, "I was poor before, and I am very poor now, but I don't want to talk to you! Just get out of here! I don't want to see you anymore!"
"Humph! You don't want to see me, but I have to appear in front of you." Ansley walked toward her bed.
"Wow! This is the most delicious cupcake in that shop, and it is expensive, but you can eat it as you like." Ansley was very jealous. She picked up a cupcake without asking for Lyric's permission and took a bite She was so glad that she almost cried.
"Mom, it's yummy. Have a taste." Ansley handed one to her mom.
Lyric scolded Ansley for being shameless in heart.
How could she take away her food so boldly?
"Oh, what's this?" Ansley saw the bag beside the pillow.
Lyric's heart sank as she moved the bag to her side.
Seeing her nervous action, Ansley knew that it must be something nice inside the bag.
She smiled and said, "Lyric, why are you so stingy? Let me see what it is." Then she snatched the bag.
