Chapter 3

Gerard held Lisette tightly in his arms as if he owed her a great deal.

"Lisette, it's my fault. Your mom asked me to take good care of you, so I will."

After saying that, Gerard coldly ordered the bodyguards while looking triumphantly at Ellie.

"Go check if there are any blood bags that Kathryn left in the hospital. If there are, give them to Lisette first. If not, take Ellie's blood.

"Kathryn, I don't care where you are hiding. If you don't show up, I will draw your daughter's blood. I'd like to see if you can be heartless towards your own daughter."

I didn't expect that I could still feel pain after I was dead.

Heartbroken, I pounced on Gerard to beat him, wanting to ask him why he used me to hurt Ellie.

Why treat Ellie like this? Ellie was also his own daughter.

Ellie was also crying, and she could also feel pain.

Ellie, on the bed, remained silent, but her eyes towards Gerard showed a hint of coldness for the first time.

A year ago, I had a car accident on the way to send Ellie to school. At that time, I had a feeling that my time was running out, so I mustered the last bit of strength to call Gerard and beg him to bring Ellie back to the Sheppard family. Ellie needed him now.

It took more than a dozen calls to get through.

But what did Gerard say?

He said, "Wasn't it you who took her and ran away from home? Now you want to play tricks and fight for favor again?

"Kathryn, I don't care about you two at all. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. It's best if you die outside! Listen, don't call me. Lisette has injured her leg and has been sent to the hospital. Don't waste my time. If something happens to Lisette, I won't spare you."

Ellie cried and knelt, knocking her head against the ground. Her fair forehead was soon covered in blood.

"Dad, please come and see Mom. I beg you. This is her last wish."

But Gerard directly hung up the phone.

I never saw Gerard's figure even after I died.

When my body was sent to the crematorium, Ellie remained silent and didn't shed a tear throughout the whole process.

But I knew she was holding it all in her heart.

In the dead of night, when Ellie went back home with her exhausted body, she, who used to be afraid of the dark, didn't turn on a single light. She told herself to stay strong during the day, but at night, she hugged herself and shed tears alone. She first sobbed and then cried out in sorrow.

"Mr. Sheppard, the hospital doesn't have Mrs. Sheppard's blood in storage, but the doctor said Miss Sheppard is still young and can't..." the bodyguard didn't finish his words.

But Gerard understood what it meant. He sneered, coldly looking at Ellie.

"Just take her blood. Losing some blood won't kill her. Lisette can't wait any longer."

After saying that, Gerard reached out and touched Lisette's head with a gentle smile.

I was so anxious that I paced back and forth on the side. Ellie had been taking antidepressant drugs for a long time. Her blood wouldn't meet the standard. Drawing her blood would only make her weaker.

But Ellie didn't say a word. She stared vacantly, allowing them to pierce the thick needle into her skin.

At the moment when Gerard got the blood test report, he became furious.

He questioned Ellie, "What did you add to your blood? Sure enough, you're as selfish and malicious as your mother. I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. The Sheppard family doesn't need descendants like you. From today on, you're expelled. I'll no longer bear any expenses for you, including your tuition fees."

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and my soul trembled violently. I knelt and prayed.

"Don't treat Ellie like this. She's our only daughter!

"She'll also feel sad and upset. Please don't be so cruel to her."

After hearing Gerard's words, Ellie was stunned for a moment. She silently picked up her school bag, hugged the bottle of daisies, and finally had a smile on her pale face.

She said, "In your eyes, my mom and I are nothing.

"Congratulations, Mr. Sheppard. From now on, Lisette is your only daughter."

Gerard seemed to have heard a big joke. He lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Then, he snorted with a sneer, "Do you think you can leave like this? Search her! I'd like to see what drugs she has hidden."

As soon as Gerard's voice fell, six bodyguards rushed up and pinned Ellie down, searching her pockets and snatching her backpack.

The daisies in Ellie's hand fell to the ground, and the things in her backpack were also dumped out one by one, making clattering sounds. There were books, a small knife, various drug bottles, and a black and white memorial photo. Then, a brand new cremation certificate fell straight at Gerard's feet.

"What is this?"

Gerard squinted his eyes and stared at Ellie for a few seconds before frowning and opening the cremation certificate.

Then, he saw the name of the deceased: Kathryn Angelou.
