Chapter 2 The 'Flawless' Stepmother

Lydia walked out of the operating room to her car and leaned back in the car seat. Taking a deep breath, Lydia closed her eyes tightly, holding back the tears she was about to spill. Lydia kept trying to be strong and tough, not wanting to lose. But now she has fallen to the point where she has sold her womb and turned it into a tool. When the news spread, she would immediately become the laughing stock of others.

But what's the problem? All Lydia wants is that when her father wakes up, she will see that her family is still intact and struggling, so it's worth doing everything she could.

Lydia didn't waste too much energy on sadness. She took a deep breath and immediately turned her head. Drive to another hospital. Entering her father Lewis' ward, Lydia saw that her stepmother Brooke was on the phone, and her eyes filled with excitement.

When Lydia was five years old, her birth mother died, and in order to take care of her, her father married Brooke to be her stepmother.

Brooke wasn't bad at first, but when she gave birth to her daughter, Libby, Brooke became indifferent towards Lydia. But Brooke doesn't have the chance to be a cruel stepmother like in a fairy tale. After all, Lewis loved Lydia very much, and Lydia was a child with a strong temper. Brooke couldn't possibly do cruel things to her.

Brooke didn't dare do anything weird to Lydia. She was even a little afraid of Lydia.

Seeing Lydia walking to the ward, Brooke immediately stood up nervously, she immediately hung up and said, "Lydia, your father's condition is quite good today, but he hasn't woken up yet."

Lydia turned to see her father lying on the hospital bed and said coldly. "Who did you call earlier?"

Brooke stuttered and said. "No, no one?"

Lydia narrowed her eyes and said to Brooke, "If you want to quickly find a new family, you don't have to worry. My father is still alive. The Ahn Family has not been destroyed. You don't need to rush to find another man."

"I, it's not me but CEO Jee who keeps calling me. He's been restless lately. I was just trying to calm him down." After Brooke finished speaking, she knew that she was wrong, and immediately covered her mouth.

Lydia frowned and looked at Brooke, she said coldly, "My father has been in a coma for a month now. You don't care about your husband, but instead with CEO Jee, do you still deserve to be called a wife?"

Brooke said, "Lydia, in reality, the Ahn Family's situation now is not my fault. Wouldn't it be great if I could find a rich person to help us? Besides, you have no right to blame me. The man who smashed the company into bankruptcy, wasn't it your fiancé, Archie? Really, you can't even take care of your own man, and still want to lecture me?"

Speaking of this, Brooke suddenly stood up straight, even raised her voice, and said loudly, "We are all suffering now because of you. If the Ahn Family ends, we could go bankrupt and have nothing left. We will go bankrupt if there is no more capital injection, especially since the Ahn Family's debt is almost 200 billion. We'd better find our own way. Libby and I are not responsible for any debts belonging to the Ahn Family. The Ahn Family Villa is also ours. Would you have the heart to leave Libby and I homeless? You have a good relationship with your father, right? Then your father will be yours!"

Lydia turned to look at Brooke, and said coldly, "You have enjoyed the Ahn Family's wealth for so many years. Now that you want to leave the Ahn Family so easily, it won't be that easy. Even taking care of the current company is better than you and Libby. I will definitely be able to pay off all the debts. I will take care of everything myself, and I will explain everything to father, you have no right to feel like a victim. If you want to leave my father, that's fine, but just wait until the Ahn Family recovers and dad awake. At that time, do whatever you wanted but now you can't leave my dad! Also, Archie and I have broken up, don't call him my fiancé anymore!"

Brooke who witnessed Lydia's anger, immediately lowered her head timidly, walked to Lewis's side, took a cotton swab and dipped in water, and rubbed Lewis's lips gently.

Lewis' body condition is not good now. He can't drink water directly. He could only use a cotton swab dipped in water and wipe his lips slightly to temporarily relieve some of his thirst. But Brooke didn't care about Lewis at all, she let her husband thirst until his lips were chapped, without wiping his lips.

In fact, Lewis was not considered a competent father, even though he loved Lydia so much, he tried to fulfill her every wish. But because Lewis was always busy with work, there was no time to spend with Lydia. Besides, Lewis sucks at picking a woman, Brooke is a woman who looks beautiful on the outside, but is rotten on the inside. If it weren't for Lydia's stubbornness, perhaps her life would be like the telenovelas on television, she would be tortured to death by her stepmother.

But a father like this, was Lydia's last family. If Lewis died, then Lydia would truly be an orphan in this world. Lydia had never been afraid of anything before but now Lydia was really scared. She was afraid Lewis would go, she didn't even care about anything anymore.

Does she have a choice? Lydia just wanted to protect her beloved father, who had raised her all this time.

If Lydia's family went bankrupt now, then Lydia would have to shoulder the billions of debt. Even if Lydia's father woke up, when he saw the bankrupt of Ahn Family, it was likely that he would fall ill again from the excessive pressure.

Now for Lydia, the Ahn Family going bankrupt was not an option. As long as she can help her family, she is willing to do anything at any cost.

It doesn't matter if she becomes a cheap woman in the eyes of others!
