"No... no, you're mine. How can you do this to me for another woman?"
Tears spreading on her face, she cried. "I was one of the victims, too." "How can you treat me like this?"
Dixon did not respond to her increasingly incisive questions until Maria choked up and then was taken away by Carney.
He gestured to Carney to bring her home. "Dixon!" shouted Maria, slapping the wheelchair, her eyes bloody. "You changed. How can you betray me?"
The office room gradually turned quiet after Maria was pushed out by Carney.
Dixon said no word to Maria’s accusations just now.
Elinor could see that Dixon was unhappy. She looked up at him and asked gently, "Dad, you...don't like my mother?"
Sitting on the chair, Dixon held Elinor's hand, saying, "Only children would say 'like' and 'dislike'." "Adults won't use these words anymore."
He only felt guilty about her physical disability.
He was willing to devote his rest of life to compensate Sonia, and even his life could be sacrificed.
"You like that sister in hospital, don't you?" Elinor came near to his knees and grasped his trousers. "Me, too." said she innocently and wonderingly.
She choked up. "If only she were my biological mother..."
Hearing his words, Elinor lowered her head, murmuring," That's why she was unhappy when seeing me. My mom was also one of those who hurt her."
"You are different from your mother."
Dixon patted her head. "Don't learn from your mom. She was trapped by love and resentment, stranding herself and others, so I hope you'll be free from these." "Do you know I'm not your real father?"
She nodded shyly. "I knew, but Dad, I also like you very much. I don't mean to cheat you intentionally."
"It doesn't matter." Dixon looked at her. "When you find your biological father, he'll free you from your mother."
She bombarded him with questions. "Do you also think my mom had a bad temper? Why are you still in relationship with her? You prefer staying with that sister."
