After the conversation, I took Father to his room to check his condition.
Lisa and Vanessa were also there, unwilling to leave their father in that state.
I sighed in my heart as I saw their reactions. It really seems that their concern and affection toward their father was real.
The only bitter thing was that, in the family they have in their minds, I was not considered a member.
While I dutifully checked my father's condition and tucked him in his bed, no one in the room said anything.
After ensuring that my father's condition stabilized, I quietly excused myself in the room and headed toward my own room to retire for the tiring day.
“You must be gloating right now, are you Chloe?” Vanessa’s voice rang on my back as soon as I left the floor where my father is staying.
“What makes you think that I am like that?” The long day and the dread about my father’s deteriorating condition is already giving me a headache, but Vanessa still wanted to test my limits with her hostile attitude.
I turned around and looked at her straight in the eyes, challenging her already strong animosity with the same coldness.
Vanessa clenched her fist as she gritted her teeth, “The deal you’ve made with Alpha Anon, you must be feeling smug about it! Don’t be pretentious! Also, how did you even know what he wanted so that you could firmly grasp what he wants? Did you perhaps have dealings with him and other men?!”
I shook my head at Vanessa’s narrow sightedness,
“Think whatever you want to think. But the truth is, I just don’t want to see my father's life’s work, the Red Moon Pack being slaves of the South Dew Pack before his eyes.”
“I don’t want to watch it unfold like that when I know I could do something about it…”
“Vanessa… remember what we promised Father… and to be honest, I just want to live my life here in peace as well… So as long as you do not provoke me I would not care about what you do in the pack as the Alpha. I will honor my promise to Dad and assist you when needed. I hope you do your part as well…”
After saying my piece, I no longer cared about her reaction and went to my room to finally rest.
Father’s words earlier had already bothered me… He seems to be telling us something, but I do not want to know the reason behind it.
But it was rather because I was afraid to accept the truth behind it.
I looked at the windows once more and looked at the gentle night sky and the moon.
“Moon goddess… if possible... Please let me stay with my father for a longer time… I still want him to see his grandchild…” I sincerely prayed in my heart, while caressing my womb.
“Ever since I was a child, I have been praying to you that you take all my sufferings away. Now, can I be selfish once more and ask that you not take my father away for me as well?”
Warm tears in my eyes flowed. The fact that even if it was only at this point in time that I could receive father’s affection, and that most of my memories about him were his coldness toward me, my desire for his love still prevailed.
