Chapter 499: Apology And Repentance


    The next morning, L arrived at the hospital with various concoctions with her. She knocked on the


    door and entered the ward. Both J and her parents were genuinely taken aback at her appearance.


    They hadn’t expected her, of all people, to pay a visit.


    After hearing everything from Ethan just the day before, Beal and Johanna just couldn’t bring


    themselves to be amicable with L now.


    “What are you doing here?” Beal asked.


    Contrary to his characteristic disposition as a loving father, he now pulled a long face to show his


    disgruntlement. Johanna didn’t even afford L a cursory nce and kept her gaze averted from the


    offending woman.


    L really didn’t expect the two of them to be so openly cold towards her. ording to what Charis had


    told her, she started to cry bitterly in front of her parents and J.


    “Dad, Mom! I am so sorry!”


    After saying that, she got down on her knees before them to beg.


    Finally, Beal and Johanna were softened. In any event, L was raised by them. Over the many years


    of her life with them, they had always treated her as their own flesh and blood. Regardless of the fact


    that L didn’t achieve good grades at school and also didn’t have any ambitious inclination, they never


    cared about it in the least bit. For them, as long as she was happy, everything was just swell.


    “What are you doing?” Johanna looked at L with a frown creased across her forehead. She felt


    crestfallen. L cried with absolute hysteria.


    “I clearly saw that there was something wrong with J’s parachute, but I deliberately concealed it


    from being discovered. I’m sorry. I’m so very sorry.”


    Fearing that Beal and Johanna would abandon her, L sobbed her heart out. This time, she wasn’t


    acting. Her eyes were bloodshot red and swollen from all her bawling. She even cowered in a


    subservient, apologetic manner before J. J was also frightened by this uncharacteristic


    behavior. She hadn’t imagined in her wildest dreams that L would actually put aside her dignity.


    “Don’t do that.” J turned her head away with deliberation. Her heart had also softened when she


    saw L’s genuine disy of regretful emotion. L wiped her tears away and said, “Before J came


    into my life, Dad and Mom only loved me. I felt sad and couldn’t ept the sudden change, so I did


    such a stupid thing.”


    L looked truly remorseful about her actions and genuinely seemed ovee by guilt. But in


    actuality, her apology wasing from a ce purely of fear and not sincere regret. Why hadn’t J


    died in the ident? Why did she have to be married to such a powerful, influential man?

    If Brandon hadn’t put great pressure on L, she wouldn’t have spilled the beans out of sheer


    nervousness. L bowed before J so many times that her head actually suffered an injury. The


    wound was open and bleeding. The droplets of blood dripped down her forehead into her eyes. Both


    Beal and Johanna couldn’t help but feelpassion and forgiveness for her. In their eyes, L had


    realized her mistake and regretted it deeply. L used to be an arrogant girl. In the past, even if she did


    something wrong, she would never bow her head and admit her mistake. Johanna closed her eyes for


    a while.


    Now that she had witnessed L’s sincerity before her own eyes, her tone became more gentle and


    she said, “You are not utterly unreasonable.” Beal sighed heavily.


    Truth be told, justst night, he had considered breaking off all rtions with L permanently. He


    looked at her teary eyes and said in his deep voice, “L, you have really done the wrong thing this


    time. We are very disappointed in you.”


    Hearing this, L felt as if she had been struck by lightning straight in the heart. She knelt down in front


    of Beal and begged, “Dad, I am really sorry. I swear that nothing like this will ever happen again. Don’t


    abandon me, please!”


    Beal looked at her and said, “I have decided to give you one final chance only for the sake of your


    twenty-year family rtionship with the White family. L, neither your mother nor I ever asked much


    for you, but you at least need to know what you should do and what you shouldn’t. Behave yourself and


    think it over. Don’t let such a thing happen again.”


    L nodded as tears profusely streamed down her cheeks. Although Beal didn’t say it in a tant,


    straightforward manner, his meaning was as clear as day. If something like this ever happened again,


    he might just kick her out of the White family for good.


    “Yes, absolutely! It won’t happen again.” L nodded submissively.
