Thomas furrowed his brow upon hearing Yannie’s question.
For a moment, he fell silent, but it was not long until he raised his head and looked at Yannie’s face.
“Yes, I didn’t come to visit Riley this past month.
But —” “But you used Riley when you needed her to help dissolve our rumors!” Yannie interrupted
Thomas coldly, her anguish evident on her face.
“Thomas Howard, I never knew you’d be this kind of person.
I thought you just dislike me and are terrible to me.
Who knew you could be so heartless with your daughter, too!” She walked past Thomas and strode
toward Riley’s ward, leaving Thomas rooted on the spot as he watched Yannie walk away.
He furrowed his brow vehemently.
‘Can this woman wait for my explanation? But…’ His lips curled into a smile when he saw how anxious
Yannie was when she walked to Riley’s ward.
Since way back, he knew Yannie was fond of Riley and often came to visit the infant, Every time
Yannie came to visit, he would place a hidden camera on Yannie before she went to the hospital and
used this method to look at Riley.
Yannie did not know all of that, however, and that was why she thought Thomas did not care about
Riley
Riley was his only daughter.
There was no reason for him to not care about Riley.
After his last visit, he was scared his rash action would alert the enemy, that Joshua would discover it
and mistreat Riley.
If it was not for that reason, he would have visited regularly.
He sighed and started to catch up with Yannie.
Both of them changed into Ñ ÖvelËbook sanitary safety suits and entered the ward, one after the other.
Yannie was still mad at Thomas and was reluctant to let Thomas visit Riley.
Then again, she knew she had no right to do so.
As Riley’s birth father, not even Luna and Joshua could stop Thomas from visiting Riley.
What right did she have?
Yannie’s anger mounted when she thought of that.
She did not understand why Thomas never once came to visit Riley after so long if Luna and Joshua
never stopped him.
With that, she entered the ward with rage churned inside of her.
In the ward, the little girl, lying on her bed, smiled as she saw the two adults beside her.
Her clear, crystal eyes twinkled with mirth as though she knew Thomas Ak{$!b}b Yannie were her
parents.
Yannie’s heart melted when she saw the smile on Riley’s face.
She stretched her hand out to play with Riley.
“She got chubbier than the last time I was here.”
That sentence was purely something Yannie felt when she saw Riley.
To her surprise, Thomas chimed in, saying, “Yes, she looks chubbier now.
I saw her medical report, and it looks like she’s recovering steadily.
Maybe she can be discharged soon.” He looked the same when he said those, and he even made an
ugly face to play with Riley.
Yannie was shocked to hear that as she looked at Thomas incredulously.
“How did you… know?
Why did Thomas know Riley was chubbier than before? He had not visited Riley ever before, had he?
Thomas sighed as if he read Yannie’s mind.
He extended his hand Ñ ÖvelËbook and grabbed the necklace on Yannie’s neck, much to her shock.
“What are you doing?”
Luna was the one who gave her the necklace.
When she resigned from Luna’s jewelry design company, Luna was reluctant to see her go.
As such, Luna gave Yannie a necklace she had made herself as a gift.
She even told Yannie that she was free to return to work in the company if Ñ,ÖvelËbook she was
unhappy working at other places.
