Chapter 219


    A sculptor?


    Pearl frowned. “My dad was just a carpenter. How could he be a sculptor?”


    An was shocked. “Did he hide this from you? He was a world-renowned sculptor, and his alias was


    Mangy. His work sold for astronomical figures. However, my dad didn’t like him because he was an


    artist and would always have to travel for inspiration. Dad thought he wouldn’t be able to take care of


    Beah…”


    Pearl suddenly thought of her father, who had been a carpenter in a small town for more than ten


    years, and couldn’t help but sigh.


    That was love, willingly giving up everything for the other person.

    “By the way, you haven’t told me where your parents are. Can I see them?” An asked eagerly.


    “I’m sorry, there’s something I haven’t told you yet…” Pearl was a little troubled, but then she said, “My


    mom is missing, and as for my dad… he passed.”


    An couldn’t believe it. “Missing? How did that happen?”


    Pearl didn’t know the details behind that, but she told him what she knew. “My dad and mom argued


    one day, and my mom ran away, never to return.”


    “I knew we couldn’t trust Max. When my sister eloped, I should have taken her back.” An frowned as


    his anger rose.


    “No, they argued because my dad was gravely sick and they couldn’t find a cure. My mom sold the


    jewelry she loved to buy medication and my dad didn’t want her to, so he chased her away. He still


    loved her and waited for her return.


    “My dad had always been a proud man, but he was willing to work in a small town for my mom.


    Unfortunately, he fell gravely sick and had to let my mom leave so she could have a better life.”


    An was shocked. “Why didn’t he let her take you with her?”


    “1


    Pearl shook her head. “I don’t know, but I’m guessing that even though my dad was sick, he had time


    to take care of me. He didn’t want to stop my mom from getting remarried because of me.”


    An sighed. “He’s a good husband but not a good father.”


    Pearl refuted, “He’s a good father, but he loved my mom so much. He did his best to make sure


    everyone had a good ending.''” Except for himself. He was sick, lost the love of his life, and when he


    died, his daughter wasn’t even by his side.


    “Your mom wasn’t mature, but she was bright. She’s not missing, she’s only left.” An sighed. “I don’t


    know why she didn’te back to us. Maybe she was worried we would force her to remarry.”


    Pearl didn’t know the specifics of what happened, so she didn’t want to judge.


    “Alright, let’s put this aside.” An looked at Pearl lovingly. “Dad doesn’t know the daughter of his


    daughter is a woman now. Why don’t youe back with us tomorrow so you can meet your family?”


    Pearl’s heart ached. “It’s not the time yet. I have work to do. How about I visit Master Jordanter?”


    “I know I shouldn’t put you on the spot, but honestly, Dad has had countless sleepless nights because


    of your mother. He would be overjoyed if you visited.”


    Pearl took a deep breath. “I’ll go to Ancard in a few days to see him. How about that?”
