Chapter 670

Daniel:

Livia and I silently watched the child.

She looked like she was about to cry, but not from sadness.

This was the first time we’d seen her smile so brightly.

She was happy.

“What did you say?” I asked excitedly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I kept glancing at Livia because, sadly, she didn’t share the same excitement.

Usually, she cared deeply about her patients and always thought about what was best for them.

So this was the first time I had seen her look so upset, as though she couldn’t breathe.

This was a huge breakthrough.

Not only had this innocent girl started speaking again, but she had also recognized her father.

On top of that, the stranger who had been asking about his family now had his daughter.

Gina remembered everything.

She wasn’t speaking much yet, but she remembered everything.

With this, we could easily find out the stranger’s identity, his family, his name, everything.

So why was it that instead of Livia, I seemed to be the more excited one?

“This is my daddy,” the little girl said, smiling widely.

Tears formed in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Tears of happiness.

“You’re not feeling well right now. How about you rest a little, and then we’ll talk about it again? What do you say?”

As expected, Livia tried to change the subject.

I’d noticed it before too. She was becoming too involved in taking care of the stranger.

I didn’t know what I was feeling.

Probably jealousy.

“Oh my God,” little Gina whispered as she kissed the picture and began to cry. “I’ve missed Daddy so much.”

Until now, we hadn’t introduced the child to anyone else. Since arriving here and regaining consciousness, she had only seen me, a nurse, and Livia. No one else even knew she was here.

Yet it felt like my attention kept drifting away from Gina and back to Livia.

“When can I meet my daddy?” Gina asked through tears. Tears of pure happiness.

“This is your daddy?” Livia finally asked, but there was a shake in her voice, as if she were shaking.

“Yes, this is my daddy,” little Gina confirmed, smiling at her.

Livia stared at her for a few seconds before straightening her back.

I could tell she knew I was watching her, so she had to choose her next words carefully.

Sadly, she disappointed me.

“Oh, actually, we didn’t find your daddy. We only got a picture of him so we can help find him for you.”

The way she said it, the way she lied

explaetle girl, honestly, I couldn how much respect ft?)

her in that moment.

I didn’t say anything to her face.

But she could tell from the look in my eyes.

“I hope so,” Gina murmured, lowering her gaze to the photograph.

The problem was that I loved Livia.

Watching her become so consumed by someone else hurt more than I wanted to admit.

Why couldn’t she see my feelings?

Why was she always so willing to notice everyone else’s emotions, yet completely oblivious to mine?

Sadly, the child’s face fell, yet Livia still didn’t seem to pity her.

She gently kissed Gina’s cheek and kept smiling at her.

“Now let’s go, okay? But remember, don’t talk about this with anyone. Okay? Even if someone asks you about it, you say no.”

She continued making the wrong decisions, leaving me to stand there and watch while she avoided looking at me.

She knew she’d done something wrong.

Otherwise, she would have been able to look me in the eye.

“What are you doing over there, standing like a robot?” she complained, still

refusing to look at me and trying to sound pleasant.

The nurse walked in and carried

Gina away after covering her face et

escorting her to Livia’s ear whi stayed behind to speak with her.

“Are you happy with yourself?”

As soon as I asked, she looked at me, looking upset.

“I’m doing it for her own good,” she argued.

“How is it for her own good when you’re not even letting her see her father?” I

snapped, far from happy with her decisions.

She had been doing so well.

What happened?

Why had she suddenly become someone completely different from the person she

was?

“That child wants her mother. And you know that too.”

I turned and started walking away.

When I reached the door, I stopped and glanced back at her one last time.

“Livia, I’m not going to tell anyone anything. Because I’m giving you a chance to correct your mistakes. And

hope you’ll make the right

decision.”

I paused as I sighed.

“Because you can’t keep someone who doesn’t belong to you.”

I watched her eyes fill with tears before I walked out and slammed the door shut.

I just hoped she would do the right thing and bring this family back together.
