Chapter 281 Your Life Is Shit
Ruben cried out in pain, “You, bitch! Just you wait! I’m going to sue you!”
Abby’s shoulders trembled as she recalled the countless times she had been subjected to domestic violence and had no one to rescue her.
Sensing her fear and sadness, David held her hand and reassured her, “It’s okay. We’ll protect you.”
Lloyd couldn’t bear to see Abby suffer. He patted her back and whispered,
“Young girl, just tell the truth. Do you want to go with him? No one can force you to do so.”
Abby was obviously touched. She tried to huddle herself up for a sense of security and said softly, “I… I don’t want to…”
“You, traitor! How dare you disown your father? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
David glared at Ruben. “She doesn’t want to go with you! When you’ve been disowned as her father, how can you call yourself a man?”
Some people couldn’t stand it anymore.
A middle-aged man about Ruben’s age said, “Hey! After all, they are father and daughter. We can’t let them sever their blood relationship, can we? Can outsiders love a daughter more than her own father?”
Upon seeing that someone was supporting him, Ruben nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Who knows what intentions you have for breaking us up? You’re all brainwashing my daughter!”
“Shut up!” Aylin’s cold eyes were as sharp as knives, which startled the talkative man secretly. She withdrew her gaze and opened her red lips sharply. “Some people are not worthy of being a father at all.” She had never bothered to cover up for the beast of a father. “Do you know that the reason this young girl is lying here is because she was beaten up by this scumbag?”
As soon as she said that, everyone was in an uproar.
“Beating your own daughter up for surgery? Really?”
“This is too crazy…”
Abby pursed her lips and raised her head. She wanted to say something, but she could not utter a word even after holding her head up for a long time.
Lloyd had a lot of interaction with children, so he patiently guided her.
“Don’t be afraid. Just say what you want to say, and we’ll help you solve it together.”
Aylin also looked over encouragingly.
“He…” Abby took a deep breath, looked ahead blankly, and retold the past with a pale face. “Dad always beats me up. When I was young, my mother didn’t come home for a long time. I was so hungry and wanted my father to give me something to eat. But Dad went to play cards and ignored me. When I asked him to go home, he hit me with a chair and burned me with a cigarette. He even asked me to die… However, I was really hungry. I was about to starve to death. I called my mother, but she didn’t answer. All the money in the house was taken by my father to play cards. I was so badly beaten that I couldn’t get up, so I could only sleep in the room. I hoped it wouldn’t hurt when I fall asleep…”
As she spoke, she broke down a little. She lifted her sleeves to reveal her arms under her clothes. Her wrists were slender, but her skin was still full of bruises. There were both new and old injuries, which were extremely jarring to look at!
David’s eyes turned red with anger. He went up and punched Ruben. “You jerk! You really did it!’
Everyone in the room burst into tears.
The facts spoke louder than words. Many patients had their own children, who were about the same age as Abby. They couldn’t figure out how a father could be so cruel to his daughter!
“This child is too pitiful. I don’t care, but she has such a father!”
“She’s about the same age as my daughter. How can she suffer like this? I really can’t bear to see this…”
