Scum Daddy Dreams Of Stealing My Mommy!
Chapter 454: Deserved

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Deserved

Christopher ignored her, opened his eyes, and glanced at her with extreme calm and indifference, then turned his head away, as if he didn’t see her.

Amelia felt his distant coldness, laughed bitterly in anger, "What do you mean by this?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept through the ward, not seeing the children, she understood, "You had Fuller take Hope and the others back?"

"..."

Seeing him still unmoved, Amelia pressed her lips together, suppressing the urge to twist his ear, and took a deep breath, "Can you stop being so childish and throwing a tantrum over every little thing?"

"Who’s throwing a tantrum? Weren’t you the one who didn’t pick up the phone first?" Mr. Hart finally turned his head, responding at last.

Amelia looked down at him, "Wasn’t it because you wanted to argue with me? I didn’t want to argue, so I just avoided you."

"Why did I want to argue with you in the first place? Haven’t you considered the reason? You promised me again and again, yet kept things from me time and again. Who was the first to break their word between us?" Christopher lay there, although his expression was serious, his momentum inexplicably lost a bit.

Amelia’s face was cold, "I didn’t hide anything from you. Your mother was there this morning, it wasn’t convenient for me to speak. Didn’t I explain it to you when you called?"

"That’s because I had to call to find out."

"Christopher, stop being unreasonable, okay? Do I now not even have the freedom and right to go out alone?" Her patience running thin, her expression worsened, but thinking of the greater problem that had been resolved, she felt it wasn’t worth arguing over such trivial matters, so she urged herself to stay calm.

Christopher was about to explain, but she interrupted him by raising her hand, "I don’t want to hear you right now. Since Hope and the others are back, I’ll leave too. Get some rest."

With that, she turned and walked to the door, then suddenly turned back, "By the way, Chairman Smith said he’s interested in the project in S City, and might consider investing. If you agree, arrange for someone to connect with his secretary; if you’re still stubborn and think this relies on a woman to achieve and harms your dignity as President Hart, then suit yourself!"

Christopher was infuriated by her words, "Is that what I mean? When have I ever looked down on you?"

Amelia sneered, "You haven’t said it, but who knows what’s in your heart?"

Before the words were out of her mouth, she turned and stormed out.

Christopher glared at the doorway, his handsome face seething with anger, his eyes dark and turbulent like waves under the night sky.

What are these Smith family father and son really up to? Suddenly dropping from the sky, messing up his peaceful life completely!

Amelia left the hospital, still fuming on her drive back home.

Wondering if Christopher would act out of spite, if he really kept his pride only to suffer, refusing Uncle Smith’s help...

Ugh, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became!

For a moment, she felt Thomas Smith wasn’t wrong.

Kindness treated as a donkey’s liver and lungs, she felt so foolish!

Indeed, men understand men the best.

As she continued thinking, she felt it wasn’t worth it, almost wanting to go back immediately, pick up the children, leave him to fend for himself, do as he pleases!

Enveloped in this anger and depression all the way home, when she saw the kids laughing and running up to her, she had to force a smile no matter how bad her mood was.

"Mom, why did you just get back? You wouldn’t believe it, little sis was so brave today, she almost made dad’s head explode with anger!" Ethan laughed heartily and began narrating his sister’s exploits as soon as he saw his mom.

Hope had napped as soon as she got home, not knowing her little brother sold her out completely.

Hearing everything, Amelia was dumbfounded, suddenly understanding why someone looked grumpy as Hades!

This little girl was too daring!

She herself only dared to quietly glance at handsome men, afraid someone would get jealous.

Unexpectedly, her daughter was so bold, not only openly fangirling but also daring to compare her father to a handsome man!

Imagining someone’s expression at that moment, Amelia burst into a smile, feeling suddenly cheerful.

Taking out her phone, she brushed aside the unpleasantness at the hospital, and sent a WhatsApp message: Witness the consequences of turning everyone against yourself, even the little cotton-padded jacket you’ve nurtured leaks air, serves you right.

In the hospital room, Christopher was restless with anger and naturally couldn’t sleep.

Hearing the ding of a message, he grumpily took his phone.

Upon seeing the WhatsApp message, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips, gritting his teeth as he threw the phone aside and closed his eyes to sleep!

"Rectal cancer? Ha, isn’t this divine retribution?" Snow, receiving Amelia’s call, couldn’t help gloating.

Amelia said ironically, "He’s only bad to me, he’s normal to the other Garcias, maybe it’s just me thinking so. Can you ask your aunt how much this treatment generally costs?"

"What, you’re planning to treat him?"

"What else can I do? Actually watch him die? After all, he gave me life. Also, Jacob pleaded with me, I couldn’t refuse."

"Sigh... I understand you. If you really ignore it and this gets out, who knows how people will talk. But aren’t you familiar with that Doctor Smith? Why not ask him directly?"

"When did I become familiar with him? And don’t I need to avoid suspicion? Otherwise, if Christopher finds out, he’ll make a big deal out of it again."

"Oh, right, right. I forgot about your household’s jealous king." Snow laughed, "I’ll ask for you."

After hanging up, Amelia logged into her mobile bank, looked at the balance on her card, and got a headache again.

Helpless, she could only overdraft her credit card, then find a way to pay it off in installments.

Or... her idea of taking a break had to be abandoned, she had to quickly find a job.

Continuing to eat without income, along with a pile of debt, life was nerve-wracking every day.

Snow soon replied, "From hospitalization to surgery, and the post-treatment, my aunt said it’s about 150,000 to 200,000, but if there’s insurance, a lot can be reimbursed afterwards."

Amelia, upon hearing this, found it slightly better than she imagined.

"Got it."

"You’re out of money now, right? I have some on hand, can lend it to you for now."

Amelia was very grateful but repeatedly declined, "No need, I haven’t even given you the shares of Venus yet, and now you’re lending me money... even if you would, I’m too embarrassed to take it."

Snow was annoyed, "What’s our relationship that you’re talking about this with me."

"Snow, really thank you, I’ll think of a way, if I honestly can’t gather it, I’ll ask you with a thick face."

After hanging up, Amelia, anxious and spinning circles, thought and could only continue to sell off assets.

She called Jacob.

"You come over tonight, take my car and sell it as soon as possible, I’ll figure out the rest of the money." She had an Audi sedan, after that incident with Michael Garcia’s fraud, she never drove it again, and estimated it could still fetch some money.

Jacob was shocked, "Sis, you’re selling your car, in the future..."

"Stop blabbering, let me know when you’re available."

"Alright then..."

"When can he be released for treatment?"

"Last time I visited, the application with the prison is for tomorrow. I’ll fetch him first thing in the morning."

"Can you handle him?" Amelia, considering her biological father’s character, estimated he’d be harder to deal with when sick, speaking skeptically.

Jacob, formerly a pampered young master, was indeed inexperienced in these matters.

So, at Amelia’s questioning, he hesitated before stammering, "I... I don’t know, I’ve never taken care of anyone."

Both sides fell silent for a moment, Jacob finally spoke with difficulty, "Maybe sis... when doing the hospital admission tomorrow, come with me, afterwards I promise not to bother you anymore."

Amelia hesitated, then agreed, "Promise you mean it, I’ll go tomorrow, if his attitude towards me is bad, I’ll leave at once."

"Alright!"

There are some things in this world that just push forward step by step.

You never know how things will turn out if you do or don’t do them.
