Parents' Love Secrets Revealed After Two Children Kidnapped
Chapter 4
As expected, Wendy did not come to Tiffany's funeral.
Several relatives called her one after another, but she scolded them all back, "You are annoying! Go back to tell John that I am needed here. Stop making trouble when it comes to a boy's life! So annoying!"
Then everyone present knew that Wendy did not even attend her daughter's funeral because of another man's child.
I felt ashamed, and I really didn't want to delay Tiffany's funeral because of Wendy, so I controlled my anger and said goodbye to Tiffany with a smile.
"My dear Tiffany... I have not done a good job in this life. I hope I have a chance to make it up to you with everything I have."
My voice choked with sobs. Tiffany's voice and smile could not be erased from my mind.
The happier she smiled, the more I hated Wendy.
...
After the funeral, Tiffany's teacher found me and put a box of daily necessities and books in my car.
"Mr. Abbott, these are Tiffany's things from school. I wanted to leave them for you as a souvenir, so I brought them here without permission."
I nodded in thanks. After seeing off all the guests, I just sat there in a daze holding the box.
Tiffany didn’t have much stuff. A small box was enough to hold everything she had just begun in her youth.
There was a letter on the top, which looked like it was written by Tiffany. And the cover of the envelope was addressed to her mother.
[Happy birthday to my dear mother! I make this gift by myself. Although it is a little simple, I spent a long time on it. I'm sure you will like it very much.]
[Mom, I've always wanted to ask you why you didn't come to my parent-teacher meeting but instead attended it for Barry from the next class. But then I thought, I must be not good enough. When I'm good enough to make you proud, you will come to my parent-teacher meeting, right?]
[Mom, I still love you very much. Can you hug me again and tell me that you love me like you did when I was little? I really want a complete and happy family with you and Daddy.]
My hands were shaking, and I couldn't stop crying while sitting in the car.
Tiffany was only fifteen years old and was the best student in the class. She should be carefree and innocent.
But she died. Even before she died, she was still thinking about how to please Wendy!
All she needs was her mother's hug.
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I stepped on the accelerator and drove to the hospital.
Wendy even skipped work to take care of Barry. I simply ran to the hospital and looked for her in every room.
Sure enough, in a single room, Wendy was seen patiently cutting fruit for Barry.
Seeing that it was me, Wendy was shocked and pushed me out quickly.
"Why are you here? Stop it. Barry just had the surgery and needs to rest for a few days. If you have anything to say, go outside and tell me!"
I sneered, ignored her words, rushed in, tore the medical record on the bedside, and threw it to the ground.
"Appendicitis. This is what you call a major surgery. This is what you call a life-threatening surgery!
"Appendectomy surgery costs two hundred thousand dollars?"
Wendy frowned, played her finger, and said with reason.
"He needs supplements. Those medicines for post-operative recovery need money. And I will buy some clothes and food for him.
"It's shameless for you, a grown man, to be so stingy. I'm not surprised that Tiffany is like that with a father like you."
Every time she mentioned Tiffany, my heart ached.
She wasted Tiffany's life-saving money but called me shameless.
I made fists with my hands and took a deep breath. "Wendy, let's get a divorce. I will make you pay for everything you owe me and Tiffany."
