Chapter 32
Since the blood needed to be freshly administered, I had to bring the bowl to my father for him to
consume immediately.
After taking it for three days, the poison in his body would be completely neutralized.
And so I quickly went back to my father’s room, holding the bowl of antidote in my hand.
But Standing at the door, my heart was frantic, and my hands trembled unconsciously. I try to hold back
my nervousness
I raised my hand and knocked at it, waiting for him to respond and allow me inside.
“Come in…” His voice rang from behind the door and so I quickly entered and saw that he was
accompanied by Lisa.
She saw something in my hand and stepped forward with an enthusiastic expression. Her hand
stretched out wanting to take the antidote herself to administer to father.
“Lisa, go and check the situation with Vanessa. Help her in every way in my stead. We only have two
days to prepare for her inauguration after all.” Fortunately, my father said before Lisa's hand reached
the bowl in my hand.
“Very well… after taking the antidote, rest well. Leave everything to me.” Like the perfect wife, she
smiled and left the room, remembering Vanessa's inauguration.
As for me, my heart twitched in pain, ‘So Father still wanted Vanessa to be heir…’
Even after the previous inauguration ceremony was destroyed and he almost lost his life with the
poison, his mind was still set on making Vanessa the next Alpha.
Finally, with the two of us left in the room, my father looked at me like an amiable elder and asked, “Are
you here to deliver the antidote the King had mentioned?”
I immediately regained my composure and nodded. Then, I slowly approached him and carefully
handed the medicine.
“Is this developed by Doctor Arthur?” He looked at the bowl in his hand and asked with a tender tone.
I wordlessly looked at him and nodded. Although I did not say anything, my father seemed to have
understood.
“I see, then please help me thank the doctor. He must have exerted a lot of effort in order to produce
the antidote in a short period of time. I heard he immediately entered the laboratory to work right away.
Please let him know that I am deeply grateful,” He said to which I once again nodded.
Even so, he did not immediately drink the bowl in my presence, instead he placed it carefully aside.
I was deeply puzzled about it. However, I could not ask him directly, afraid that he would recognize me
and end up the farce we were all acting in.
“Why don’t you come down and sit? I could not help but remember my eldest daughter whenever I look
at you… Her name is Chloe," my father started to say as he looked at me with sincere eyes.
“She was about the same age as you as well," he added with a soft voice.
My heart skipped a beat the moment he mentioned my name. Subconsciously, I found myself listening
to his recounts of me as his daughter.
“Since young, I have been strict with her and never let her do things willfully. Although she does not
have a wolf, she has a talent for making poison…
You have heard it earlier right? The poison I am now suffering from was developed by Chloe, my eldest
daughter. It was such an irony…” My father muttered in a voice filled with nostalgia.
But the more I heard him talk the more I felt confused. Why would he say these things to me, a beta he
did not even know, nor was familiar with?
But my father did not seem to have not noticed my confusion and continued to talk.
“However, something happened and I have no choice but to use her blood to save my heir, Vanessa,
whom you already know. I did such a thing to hurt Chloe…”
I listened to my father’s words and my eyes could not help but turn red as it started to heat up, my tears
threatening to fall.
“I did not expect that she would escape from the pack… In the end, she must have felt really aggrieved.
However… If I am given a choice, I hope that I will never be Chloe’s father again…” His tone was full of
sorry and regret as he told me his words that were like knives that repeatedly cut my soul and heart.
It was as if a pail of ice cold water was poured all over my head, completely drenching me and filling
my body with cold shivers. I looked at my father with my heart completely crushed.
I knew that all this time, my father must have been so ashamed of me becoming his daughter. But I did
not realize it was to the point that he would be thinking that if he had a choice, he would rather not have
me as his daughter at all!
All my life, I have always dreamed of him becoming the father that I wanted. I have always hoped that
the day would come during those days I suffered from Vanessa, Lisa and every one’s spite.
All those nights, I cried and convinced myself that one day… Maybe one day, my father’s heart would
change and would finally treat me as his daughter.
Was it too much to ask for him to look at me the same way as he looked at Vanessa? I was not even
presumptuous enough to even think that he could give me the same privilege as Vanessa in the pack!
All I wanted was for him to treat me with warmth and kindness… to treat me like his daughter.
In the end, was it really that too much for him to ask?
My heart trembled in pain. Suddenly, I was thrown into a never-ending darkness without any hint of life.
'I was really so naive and stupid,' I thought bitterly after directly hearing from my father' mouth that he
wished I would never become his daughter at all. Suddenly, my entire body felt heavy and my chest
was tightening like someone had given a heavy blow on it. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
I wanted to walk out and leave right away. I did not want to see my father now hear his painful words
towards me. But importantly, I did not know how much longer I could hold back my tears. I did not wish
to allow my father to witness the bitter sadness that he gave me.
Unfortunately, my father would definitely be suspicious if I stood up and left. I could only try my best.
Sucking on a heap of cold air to try and control my emotions, I looked down and picked my fingers to
temporarily distract myself.
My father must have thought that I was disinterested in listening to what he was saying and
immediately changed his tone.
“Sigh… It must be the effects of the poison on me… I apologize for chatting too much.” Then, he
looked at the bowl and pulled it near him, indicating that he could consume the antidote at any given
time.
“Once again, please thank Doctor Arthur for me. Rest assured I will drink the antidote.”
I kept my gaze lowered, not looking at him directly and nodded in acknowledgement. After hearing his
words, I could finally leave the suffocating room. Hurriedly, I turned around to quickly leave the room.
But just as I was about to open the door, I heard my father’s voice, “Chloe…”
My mind buzzed and my body stiffened. Did he recognize me a while ago? I thought nervously.
However, the next words hurt me more than the fact of him knowing my identity for he said,
“Sigh… If you are still alive I hope you will never go back to the pack again…”
‘Ah… he must have been talking to himself,' I thought but my body was already trembling all over.
My father, the only one whom I thought could give me warmth and protection over such an unkind
pack… Had completely abandoned me.
He even wished that I would never go to the pack again.
I no longer have the will and power to hold back my tears and so I immediately opened the door and
left the room as fast as I could, before the first drop of the river of tears fell.
