Chapter 4

Julian's voice was icy. "Nora and I have been childhood sweethearts. If I hadn't been transferred to a new post, do you really think I would've let her end up with you?"

I chuckled bitterly. "Fine, I'll divorce her right now, and you can have her. "

Just as the words left my mouth, Nora, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up, looking livid. "Ian, what nonsense are you up to now?!"

"You lied to me with my mother, telling me our daughter was dead! And now you want a divorce? Are you trying to make Eva's condition worse, hoping she'll die faster? She's lying in the hospital, and you keep cursing her. What kind of father does that?"

I frowned. "Who told you our daughter is still in the hospital?"

Nora looked at Julian. "Julian, tell him, isn't our daughter still in the hospital?"

Julian hesitated, guilt in his voice. "I went to the hospital this morning. Eva's fine, and auntie was there with her. Everything you've been saying is just a pack of lies!"

That liar. The "Auntie" he mentioned? He's talking about Nora's mother, but she went home right after Eva was cremated. 

"Let me say it one more time: our daughter died because she didn't get the treatment she needed in time. Stop living in your little fantasy, okay?"

"Didn't get treatment in time? Not enough money? But we have two bank cardsone for daily expenses and one for our daughter's medical bills. "

What a joke! When she's spending money on daily expenses or buying a car for Julian, does she even check the balance?

I coldly replied, "The card for daily expenses? You spent that long ago. And the money you used to buy Julian's car? That was our daughter's life-saving fund. There was over 35, 000 dollars on that cardthe exact amount you blew on that car. "

"Think for yourself whose words are true. "

Nora stared at me, but she didn't find the reassurance she was looking for. She turned to Julian again. 

"Julian, are you sure our daughter is in the hospital?"

Nora bit her lip, insisting, "Of course she is, she's perfectly fine in the hospital. "

Hearing Nora's words, Julian seemed to regain his confidence. 

"Fine. Since you're so set on this, I'll prove you wrong. "

Nora called our daughter, but a moment later, her watch phone started ringingin my pocket. 

Seeing this, Julian breathed a sigh of relief, while Nora seemed to catch on. 

"Ian, did you take our daughter's watch phone just to keep up this lie?"

"Think whatever you want, " I muttered, too tired to argue. I just pushed them both toward the door. 

But Julian dug his heels in. 

"Did Nora lock you out? Don't forget, this is her home too!"

Annoyed, I snapped, "You bustard, get lost!"

Julian suddenly looked wounded, turning to Nora. "See? He's cursing at me again. "
