Chapter 50


    ra’s sobs were relentless. n, my dad wouldn’t just off himself for no reason. Someone must’ve


    spilled the beans about us. I swear, if I find out who, they’re gonna regret it.”


    Her tears flowed, but her eyes zed with a rare ferocity.


    gaze fell as his cool fingertips gently brushed away her tears, his voice rough, “Don’t worry, I’ll get


    to the bottom of this, I promise. No more tears, okay?”


    He had never felt like this before–the fear of losing something precious and the desperate struggle


    to hold on. He knew all too well that if anything happened to Casey, he’d lose his reason to keep


    ra close. Right now, one thought consumed him: to hold ra tight and never let her slip away.


    As they embraced, the doctor emerged from the ICU. “The patient’s will to live is weak. You might


    want to go in, and talk to him. Keep it light. The sooner hees around, the better for his


    recovery.”


    ra swiftly wiped her tears. “Got it, I’m on it.”


    Asn moved to follow, she blocked him. “My dad can’t handle stress, you’re noting

    “I’ll be quiet, just there for you.” He’d never pleaded with anyone like this. He didn’t even know why,


    but he just wanted to be there for her, for Casey to wake up.


    Dressed in sterile gowns, they approached Casey’s bedside.


    ra grasped her father’s hand, her hot tears falling onto his skin. “Dad, you promised you’d never


    leave me. Why are you breaking your word? Don’t you know, without you, I have no home? Nobody


    in this world would love me. Are you really that cruel? I have been dumped once by mom, now by


    you. Am I that loathsome?”


    Recalling the past, ra wept softly over her father.


    His phone rang at that moment. Stepping into the adjacent sterile room, he answered. “Mr. Hayes,


    I’ve dug it up. That woman is indeed Ms. ra’s birth mother. She’s kicked out by Mr. Casey seven


    years ago for her scandalous life. It hit Ms. ra hard. She was


    11:14


    cornered in a ssroom by the parents of her ssmates, her clothes were torn off, and


    photographs were taken. They used her of being loose like her mother, and seducing boys.


    The scandal exploded at school, and ra was branded a pariah. Afterwards, she fell seriously ill


    and transferred away. I couldn’t trace her illness or schooling until college resurfaced her records.


    That time must’ve been hellish, so, Mr. Casey wiped all traces.
