Chapter 320: The afterparty IV
Thinking deeply about it, Paula had nothing to hate toward Heaven or her father. Those two had been nothing but kind to her. They welcomed Paula when Paula’s parents didn’t want her and treated her with love and care.
They were Paula’s family.
Therefore, knowing what she had done and that this feeling of inferiority overtook her tonight brought unimaginable guilt into her heart. She didn’t want to do it. She didn’t want to hate Heaven, but... Paula felt helpless.
If they really love her, then they would understand why she did what she did, right?
Paula sat beside the man she called father for years, holding his slightly wrinkly and chubby hands tenderly. Tears continuously flowed from her eyes, flooding her face until her sniffles synched along with the mechanical heart rate monitor.
’You will not hate me for it, right?’ she asked in her heart, squeezing the man’s hand mildly. ’Dad, please tell me it’s okay. I feel like I’m about to go crazy.’
Perhaps, she thought, that the drug had something to do with her heightened emotion. She couldn’t stop crying and no matter how she twisted her reasoning, she knew it was wrong. Thus, her tears wouldn’t stop.
"Why is my girl crying?" Suddenly, a weak and hoarse voice pierced the consistent sniffles in the air. "Tell me who made my little princess cry, and I’d get up here to teach them a lesson."
Paula slowly raised her hand, only to see the old man smiling at her. She bit her tongue at his welcoming smile, unwilling to let go of his hand.
"Dad," she breathed out, lips quivering. "What am I going to do? I did something really bad."
The old man blinked ever so tenderly. "Were you hurt?"
