However, no matter how much money the glass was worth, Eira could never afford it. She originally just wanted to sneak in to steal some money before returning home, so that she could buy medication for her mother. That way, her brother would not need to work so hard. However, she never expected that things would suddenly turn out this way. She just knew she could not let Brooke go and tell their father. She could not go to the police station. She was already ten years old. She knew what kind of place a police station was. Only people who had done bad things would be taken to the police station. However, she did not and had not done any bad things. She also did not break that glass on purpose. While thinking about that, Eira chased after Brooke and she caught up to Brooke at the stairs.At that moment, Eira had no time to be afraid anymore. She reached out her hand and pulled Brooke. "Miss Stevens, I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn't do it on purpose. I was scalded and I didn’t
Delmont looked at Eira, and his heart was in chaos at that moment. In fact, according to his understanding of Eira, he did not believe that Eira would push Brooke down the stairs. However, whether he believed it or not was already not important anymore. What mattered was Brooke! Thinking of that, Delmont looked at Eira. "It's all your doing! If anything bad were to happen to Brooke, Eira, don’t you think you'll be able to live a good life! Go back home immediately and never set foot here again!"After Delmont said that, he quickly chased after Joy and Brooke. At that moment, all he had eyes for was Brooke's safety. He did not care about Eira at all. The car sped off and went to the hospital. Seeing her daughter was sent into the emergency room, Joy bawled and made a fuss at Delmont with tears in her eyes."Delmont, after I returned from studying abroad, I was still so young and had not been married once. If it weren't for you, I would have had a bright future! Because I fell in love
They were at the hospital, so when Delmont suddenly shouted like that, the people in his surroundings instantly looked over. Delmont was embarrassed and he hurriedly sat down."Delmont, what are you doing getting all emotional? Do you care for that d*mn girl so much in your heart? Don’t you forget that she had just viciously pushed Brooke down the stairs today. If you don’t give her a little punishment, there's no telling if she would do something more terrible next time. Besides, doesn’t she think it's too miserable to live with her mother now? Then, that's just great. Mister Qualls' family is very rich. After she has gotten together with Mister Qualls, does she still need to worry that she'll not live a good life? Mister Qualls also said that he just wanted to bring a child over to play for a few days. After you've sent Eira over, our company would be saved. Delmont, you also don’t want to see the company that we've worked so hard to build for so many years be ruined because of this
Eirwen was sleeping soundly on the bed. She had been in a terrible state of man these days, so once she had fallen asleep, she would be sleeping for a very long time. After she had woken up, her mind would be in an incomparable mess.Eira looked at the tattered blanket covering her mother. She hung her head and wiped her tears. She then went over to tuck Eirwen in properly. Actually, Eira knew very well that this blanket had been used for too long, so he had long been unable to keep her warm. It was still slightly better at that moment. If the weather got any colder, her mother and brother certainly would suffer from the cold. Their house was lacking in too many things, and this small golden pendant was not enough at all. She could not let her brother shoulder all the burden. She had to help to share some burdens. She also had to earn money. The golden pendant that she got that day was a very good start.After Eira had properly tucked Eirwen in, she took a look at the sky outside. Sh
Eira never expected that Delmont would say such a thing to her. The tears that she had forcefully held back instantly streamed down her cheeks at that moment. She stood in front of Delmont like that and called him dad with a lump in her throat. Eira truly wanted to hug Delmont, but she did not dare to. She just stood on the spot and cried until her face was covered in tears. Looking at the way she was, Delmont raised his hand and gently wiped the tears off her face. After that, for the first time ever, he reached out his arms and put this daughter of his in his arms. All the suppressed emotions that Eira had finally could no longer be suppressed any longer at that moment. She curled in Delmont's arms and burst out crying. "Dad, Dad, I really miss you very much. I truly miss you very much…"When Delmont saw the way Eira looked at that moment, other than to let out a heavy sigh, he did not know what to do for a moment there. He had spent too little time with this daughter, so much so th
Eira was simply shocked by the sudden flattery. She asked Delmont in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say?""Don't go home today and stay with me. You have to know that this is also your house. I will let the maid tidy up a room for you, alright?" Delmont said.Eira was speechless. She could not believe that her father would treat her like that. She has had her walls up against her father for a long time, and she almost had no affection for him at all. However, at that moment, she suddenly burst into tears. "Dad, I have actually always wanted to be close to you."Delmont felt upset. "I know…"Eira wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, Dad. I can't stay here. I have to go home to accompany my mom at night. Her mind is not functioning well, so I have to take care of her. Mom, Aunt Joy, thank you for the new clothes. Thank you so much. I have to take my leave first now, but I will come early in the morning tomorrow to accompany Brooke."She wanted to come early in the morning because she wanted
Delmont followed her.Brooke was the only one eating at home. She did not see her parents returning. "Ma'am, I'll not have that biggest piece of pork in that pork stew. My dad loves pork the most, so I will save it for him."The maid bowed. "Alright, little princess.""Also, is the mushroom soup for my mom done? We have to have it every day. She wants the antioxidants to protect her skin against wrinkles and maintain her beauty," asked Brooke happily."It's done, little princess.""Haha. My dad and my mom love me the most," said Brooke.Delmont and Joy, who were at the entryway, looked at each other. Both of them had tears in their eyes. That night, Delmont had been pondering for a whole night. The business, which he had built with a great deal of effort, could not just fall short of success because of this major economic crisis. That old man named Qualls indeed had wanted something excessive. However, Delmont truly could not lose the business that he and his wife had fought for
Eira was so frightened that she jumped. She turned around and saw Brooke. "You…don't you have piano practice today? Why are you home?"Brooke's voice was sharp. "You're a thief! You're a bad person! I finally know why you have to come to my house now. You have always been a beggar and a thief, right? You've had your eyes on my house for a very long time! You begged my dad and mom, and you begged me to let you stay at our house! My parents are so kind! You thief! You're stealing my mother's things!"Brooke was almost as tall as Eira, but she seemed to be stronger than Eira. She had never been afraid of Eira, to begin with, but because she was at her own house, Brooke was even more unafraid of Eira. She kept beating Eira while roaring angrily, "Thief! Burglar! Little beggar! Our whole family has been so good to you, and yet, you want to steal my mother's things. I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! Little beggar! Little filthy thing. Your conscience can’t even compare to a d
