Chapter 445
Johnny looked at Wendy in shock after heard that.
Wendy didn''t avoid Johnny''s eyes. Although her hand, which was holding the teacup tightly, was
slightly shaking, her eyes were still staring at him, waiting for an answer.
Johnny''s body seemed to be stiff. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, and the expression
on his face was very vicissitudes. "You still heard it that day..."
Thest time Helen came to the study with Ynda, Wendy happened toe over.
Helen couldn''t get a penny from Johnny, so she said a lot without thinking. Johnny paid special
attention to Wendy after that, but he saw that Wendy was in a good mood at that time, he thought
the door was closed and the sound instion was good, so she didn''t hear what she shouldn''t have
heard...
"Yes." Wendy nodded.
Seeing such a reaction from Johnny, she had already understood, so she did not speak again and
waited for him to continue.
"Since you''ve heard it and ask me about it now, I won''t hide it from you anymore!" Johnny put his
hand on the knee and seemed to have made up his mind. He said slowly, "You are indeed not my
daughter."
"Then I..." Wendy''s throat tightened. Johnny answered her questions, "Your mother was already
pregnant when she married me."
Wendy felt that all her breath was taken away in an instant.
Johnny sighed deeply, his gaze gradually drifting away as if he was recalling scenes from many
years ago. "It has been so many years, and I still can''t forget. Your mother walked slowly toward me
in a white dress... I fell in love with her at first sight. All I want in my life is to marry her! Even ifter I
learned that she was actually pregnant with someone else''s child, and was determined not to abort
it. I had some doubts, but finally, I chose to ept it, ept you!"
"We almost got married in a sh, and she didn''t even hesitate. When she heard that I was willing to
ept you, she didn''t hesitate to marry me."
"I was very happy at that time, and I felt that I was the happiest man in the world. I swear when I
said ''I do'' to the priest in the church, I really wanted to take good care of your mother and you!"
Johnny was a little excited at the end of his words, and a heavy sadness fell into his eyes.
After calming down for a long time, he found his voice again and looked up at Wendy. "Wendy, I
know, you me me in your heart -- but do you know? Your mother had never loved me, and she
loved someone else in her heart! I can tolerate that she''s pregnant with another man''s child and can
treat the child as my, but what I can''t stand is that my wife doesn''t even look at me in the eye, and
she''s even so painful to take my hand..." "Yes, I made a big mistake in the marriage. In the
beginning, I was seduced by Helen, but your mother didn''t care, not at all! When Helen was
pregnant, I even wanted Helen to abort the child, as long as your mother gave me a tiny hope! I had
worked hard for eight years, for eight whole years, but I still can''t enter your mother''s heart!" Johnny
finally smiled bitterly.
He had thought that he would eventually move her through time, but reality gave him a tight p.
It was enough for the Chinese Communist Party to win the war with Japan in eight years, but
Johnny couldn''t win a woman''s heart.
Wendy became more and more silent.
Johnny''s voice was filled with grief and indignation. It seemed that he had not been able to forget for
a long time, and the expression on his face was so lonely.
She never knew that there were things between her parents that no one knew about. No wonder,
before the age of eight, she had a happy childhood, but all of these disappeared with the moment
her mother jumped off the building.
"I don''t know who that man is, but I do know that your mother can''t forget him until the moment she
died..." Johnny paused and asked bitterly, "You always think that your mother suicided because she
couldn''t stand me looking for the mistress, right?"
Wendy pursed her lips and did not deny it.
Because just a moment ago, she did think so. Her mother was depressed and lived in the hospital
because her father found a mistress. In the end, she chose to leave the world in such a decisive
way...
Johnny, however, shook his head in frustration, with tears in his eyes, he said hoarsely, "At that
time, on the top floor of the hospital, the nurses on the spot who witnessed the whole scene told me
that when your mother jumped down, the name she shouted was not me, not me..."
Wendy waspletely stunned.
She saw Johnny''s trembling hand take out a pocket watch from his pocket.
She had seen this watch when she was a child, but now it was a little worn out. When the metal
shell outside was opened, but there was no hand inside, only a yellowed photo left, and the woman
on it stayed young like the tombstone.
That was her mother...
Wendy, who came to find the truth, suddenly could not me the old father in front of her. Although
she had already figured out why he was so cruel to her. He loved her mother but couldn''t win the
heart. He was also a scarred person, and he had given her eight years of happiness and her family
name...

Wendy walked out of the vi with somewhat feeble steps. The evening sun outside was so strong
that she had to use her hands to shield herself.
The warm wind blew on her body, and the clothes on her back soaked in a cold sweat, attaching to
her spine.
If her father was not Johnny Lim, who could it be? Her foot slipped slightly as she stepped down the
steps and almost fell. The nanny who sent her out helped her in time and asked if she was okay.
"Thank you, I''m fine!"
Wendy shook her head and looked back at the vi. Through the floor- to- ceiling windows, she saw
Johnny sitting on the couch, keeping his head down and looking at the pocket watch in his hand.
She swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and suddenly wanted to see someone.
She took out her phone from her bag and soon dialed a number, "Hello, Mr. Gray... it''s me!"
Half an hourter, Wendy was sitting on a chair in the cafe.
She stared nkly at the melted cream in the ss. There were footsteps approaching and Kim in
casual clothes sitting opposite her. He looked a little sick, but the smile on his face was as warm as
ever. "Miss Lim, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just arrived! I ordered a cup of coffee for you." Wendy shook her head and gestured to the
coffee on the opposite side.
"Thank you," Kim replied with a smile. He picked up his ss and took a sip.
"Miss Lim suddenly wants to see me. What''s the matter?"
Wendy did not take her eyes off him after he sat down, like she tried to find the resemnce to her
in his face and body. When she heard his question, she opened her mouth and said, "I..."
