A man in his fifties walked in with a fruit basket in his hand. His handsome face looked somewhathaggard, and his gaze appeared to be apologetic. Seeing the apologetic-looking man, Nathan asked inshock, “Who are you looking for?”

“I-I’m looking for Olivia.” The man raised his chin and pointed at Olivia, who was on the bed.

The moment Olivia saw Henry, her expression turned dark. “Nathan, I don’t know him. Get him out ofthis room!”

Startled, Nathan gazed at Henry and asked doubtfully, “You are?”

“I’m her father.”

Nathan finally understood the reason behind Olivia’s reaction. He was her father who trusted whatAnna said and sent her to a foreign country. In that instant, Nathan’s expression turned gloomy as well.“Olivia doesn’t want to see you. Please leave!”

Henry looked at Nathan in a fawning manner and said, “Please let me say something to her. I’ll leaveafter finishing my words.”

Lying down, Olivia closed her eyes and said coldly, “I don’t want to listen to it. I’m tired and have tosleep now!”

Taking a deep breath, her father directly walked into the room and placed the fruit basket on thebedside table. Nathan didn’t try to stop him since the latter was Olivia’s father. Taking a seat by thebed, Henry said sincerely, “Olivia, I know that you’re still resentful of me. I have been lied to all theseyears and done many things that have hurt you. However, you should have told me about it earlier.”

Olivia wanted to ignore him initially, but she realized that she couldn’t take it anymore as she openedher eyes suddenly and reprimanded, “Are you sure I didn’t tell you about it? You never listened to me!Do you care about me or even Mom at all? Your explanation and apology are like a fan in the winterand a quilt in the summer—they’re totally useless to me!”

“I know you still blame me. I didn’t come here to ask for your forgiveness, but—”

Before he could finish his words, Olivia interrupted, “You just want to have peace of mind, don’t you?You want to shift all the blame to someone else, huh? Well, dream on!” Deeply hurt, she drew a deepbreath and stared at him. “You had an affair with Amy Davis when you were still married. You’re biasedtoward Anna, so you sent me to another country. Right after I returned to the country and met you, youslapped me without a second thought. You were as unreasonable as before and have told me things afather shouldn’t have said to his daughter. I can forget all of that, but you never paid a visit to my momfor the past seven years. To make your wife and daughter happy, you threw a grand party on my mom’sdeath anniversary. You were not sorrowful at all. Were you so happy on my mom’s death anniversary?Hmph, Henry Maxwell, I will never forgive you!” She said those words with reddened eyes and grittedteeth.

Henry opened his mouth slightly as he didn’t expect that the party on the death anniversary of Olivia’smother to be the deepest pain in her heart. Taking a deep breath, he explained, “I forgot that it wasyour mom’s death anniversary. Since they had set a date for the wedding, I could only agree to it.”

“Stop coming up with excuses!” Olivia glared at him and snarled, “Get out!”

Noticing the resolution behind her gaze, Henry rose from the chair and said, “D-Don’t be angry with me.Please rest well. I’ll take my leave now.” With that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Staring at his figure, Olivia suddenly realized that his originally sturdy body became somewhat frail nowas he tottered out of the room. She retracted her gaze and closed her eyes. All of a sudden, she felt

like she had been drained of all her energy.

As the door was closed and opened again, someone walked in. Thinking that it was Nathan, Oliviacovered her eyes with her arm and remained silent. Standing by the bed, Eugene lowered his gaze andstared at her. Hearing her conversation with her father from outside the room a moment ago, he feltsorry for her and could empathize with her feelings.
