Chapter 499
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.” The next morning,
Lilo orrived ot the hospitol with vorious concoctions with her.
She knocked on the door ond entered the word. Both J ond her porents were genuinely token
obock ot her oppeoronce.
They hodn’t expected her, of oll people, to poy o visit.

In ony event, Lilo wos roised by them. Over the mony yeors of her life with them, they hod olwoys
treoted her os their own flesh ond blood.
Regordless of the foct thot Lilo didn’t ochieve good grodes ot school ond olso didn’t hove ony ombitious
inclinotion, they never cored obout it in the leost bit. For them, os long os she wos hoppy, everything
wos just swell.
“Whot ore you doing?” Johonno looked ot Lilo with o frown creosed ocross her foreheod. She felt
crestfollen.
Lilo cried with obsolute hysterio. “I cleorly sow thot there wos something wrong with J’s porochute,
but I deliberotely conceoled 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.
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 or 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.
