Chapter 388


    “Sweetie, it’s time for bed.” Thssa gently patted his tiny chest, coaxing him to sleep.


    She thought she had disturbed his slumber.


    In the dark night, Dorian pouted. He felt sorry for his mom and wanted tofort her with a hug.


    But he was afraid if she’d find out he wasn’t asleep.


    So, he suppressed his urge to embrace her. He closed his eyes obediently and pretended to sleep, not


    wanting to worry his mom.


    After patting Dorian for a while, Thssa heard his steady breathing. He was asleep again.


    Relieved, she left the room to freshen up.


    The next day was a workday.


    Thssa hadn’t eaten or rested well at the Royal Estates for the past few days, and she was very


    exhausted. Plus, she had slepttest night.


    When she woke up, there was no one at home. Instinctively panicked, Thssa grabbed her phone


    and saw it was already past ten in the morning.


    At this time, the kids would have already gone to school.


    What was strange was that Evelyn hadn’t returned either.


    Thssa called her mother and learned that after Evelyn had dropped the kids at the kindergarten, she


    went to the card room to watch a game.


    Feeling reassured, Thssa got ready and headed out.


    As she drove onto the asphalt road, Thssa received a call from an unknown number.


    “Hello, who is this?” Thssa asked politely.


    “Thssa, it’s me, Bruce.”


    When Thssa heard this name, her first reaction was to hang up.


    “Wait, I’m calling to inform you that your daughter Elowen has made it to the finals of the gourmet


    added.


    Thssa replied coldly, “I know.”


    “Thssa, is your hostility towards me really that deep? I am your biological father after all,” Bruce’s


    voice carried a hint of aging.


    Hearing this, Thssa felt a mix of anger and mockery.


    From the day she was born, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father: To her, he was


    nothing more than a stranger.


    Moreover, he had audaciously cheated on her mother even after knowing she was pregnant. Was such


    a man worthy of being a father?


    Thssa reiterated, “As I’ve said before, from now on, we’re strangers, Bruce. Please stop referring to


    yourself as my father.”


    “Speaking of which, I’d like to ask why the card I gave you suddenly appeared under my pillow. Did you


    return it to me? When I gave you the card, I told you that as long as you ept my money, I won’t


    bother you and your mother again. But you returned the card and the money intact. So does that mean


    my promise doesn’t count?” Bruce sounded upset.


    That day, at the hospital, he had pushed the card into Thssa’s hand. She didn’t resist, and he


    thought she had epted it. He had gone to the bathroom in the corridor and returned to his hospital


    bed to sleep.


    It wasn’t until he was discharged and the nurse cleaning the bed sheets called him that his card under


    the pillow. He didn’t even know when Thssa had returned it to him.


    “That’s what you think. I never agreed to anything” Thssa said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”


    That day, when she went to the hospital to pick Isabe up, she didn’t expect to run into Bruce. Bruce


    had blocked her way and wouldn’t let her leave. He said as long as she took his card, he wouldn’t


    bother her again and would consider her a stranger. In the urgent situation, she didn’t have time to


    think and just wanted to clear up her rtionship with Bruce as soon as possible, so she didn’t refuse


    his card.


    When he went to the bathroom, she entered his room and saw the hospital bed with Bruce’s patient tag


    hanging on it. She shoved the card under the pillow as a way of returning it to him, refusing his money.


    There were no cameras in the room, and those taking photos couldn’t have followed her into the room.


    They only captured the moment when she took the card from Bruce, but not when she returned it.


    Lysander was furious, thinking she had a deep father-daughter rtionship with Bruce.


    Now she wanted to exin, but she had no way to defend herself.


    Just as she was about to hang up, Bruce asked urgently, “What’s your rtionship with Lysander from


    the Sinir Group?” Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Hearing this question, Thssa’s hand holding the phone froze.


    Why was Bruce asking about this?
