Chapter 62
Her voice wat as soft
whisper in the wind, lacking any persuasive power.
Ethan roared, “If you really cared, why insist on giving Vanessa the herbal tonic when you know she despises it? Why not give it to Claire?
“Look at Claire–she’s so thin it’s alarming. Mom, can’t you see who truly needs the nourishment?“)
Do you
even realize Claire lost more than just a finger?” His voice broke off, and his heart ached as he recalled what Victor had revealed last night Claire was missing a kidney
Claire was only twenty three. She had spent five years in prison, had a broken leg, and lost a kidney Her future seemned bleak and predetermined |
Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart heavy with sorrow “Mom, Claire is your own flesh and blood. Can’t you show her some compassion, treat her better, just this once?%
Adat was at a loss for words. Faced with Ethan’s accusations, guilt washed over her, and tears began to fall.
“Enough” Nathan suddenly barked, his expression dark and menacing. “Have you no respect? Is this how you speak to your mother? “What did I do to deserve a daughter like Claire, so morally corrupt?”
“Claire’s malicious and unlikable, she brought this on herself.”
“She chose to cut off her own finger, no one forced her. Frankly, I think both her hands should be chopped off, considering how she pushes people down the stairs.”
Nathan’s rage was palpable, and he was so deep in his fabrications that he began to believe them himself, heaping blame upon Claire without a second thought.
Ethan met Nathan’s gaze, filled with profound disappointment. “When Claire was born, my mother begged you to watch over her, but you fell asleep, and that’s when she was taken”
“If Claire hadn’t been lost, she would have had a good education and wouldn’t be any less than Vanessa.”
“In the end, we owe her. How can you say she deserves this?“)
“Was it her fault she was kidnapped at birth?“%
“Did she deserve to grow up in an orphanage? To live like a stray when she’s a member of a wealthy family–is that her fate?” Nathan listened to Ethan’s incisive and relentless accusations, feeling a loud ringing in his head as anger surged to his temples. His eyes buried with fury, a shameful rage at his tarnished authority.!!
“Your ungrateful sont Nathan shouted, raising his hand and delivering a stinging slap to Ethan’s face.X
The force of the blow turned Ethan’s head to the side, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The last glimmers of hope in his eyes were extinguished
After Claire had suffered so much–losing her hand, breaking her leg, losing a kidney–Ethan’s conscience finally urged him to treat her better
But it seemed too late i
His lips curled into a bitter, mocking smile, blood making it all the more striking %.
As he sanded, tears he could no longer hold back streamed down his face
“Claire mest deeply reget ever coming back to this family
With those words, Ethan wiped the blood from his mouth and didn’t spare Nathan, Aduh, or Vanessa another glance. Instead, he turned to May and said, “May, go bring Claire har meal. Whatever she wants, buy it for her. If anyone dares to take it from her, I won’t hesitate to make can they can’t use their lurids again “2
His voice was as cold as ice, sending slayers down the
