Chapter 83: 84, I am your father
Michael Gordon’s words were clear enough!
That is, he agreed not to tell Oliver Thompson about it!
“Thank you, Mr. Gordon!”
Cathy finally breathed a sigh of relief, her heart settled. This place was Michael Gordon’s territory. As long as he didn’t inform Oliver Thompson, no matter how powerful he was, he would never suspect this place belonged to Michael.
She was sure that he wouldn’t search through Michael Gordon’s territory. So she secretly ca to Andras City to hide. She couldn’t find other jobs, so she made a fake ID with a new na and submitted her information to a housekeeping company.
The person in charge of the housekeeping company was a middle-aged woman who didn’t have much education. She even failed to recognize the fake ID card. Cathy stayed in the housekeeping company and happened to et Ivy Aretha who had co to hire a nanny.
Ivy Aretha wanted a nanny who knew how to take care of children and pick them up. Cathy was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. So, she started working as a nanny in Ivy’s ho. Ivy’s straightforward and kind personality made their ti together very enjoyable and young Bella was incredibly adorable, soothing her longing for her own son.
That day, when she saw Michael Gordon appear at Ivy Aretha’s doorstep, she was frightened and dared not look up. Luckily, his attention wasn’t on her at the ti, and after a few years of not seeing each other, he was driven away by Ivy once more.
She had narrowly escaped!
When Sienna Harrison called her to inform her about Bella’s accident, she was cleaning and doing laundry. As soon as she heard the news, she rushed over, as she happened to have the rare RH negative blood type.
She just didn’t expect to run into Michael Gordon at the door of the operating room and find out that Bella was his daughter!
Knowing she couldn’t avoid it any longer, she decided to ask for his help, hoping for a chance!
When Michael Gordon returned to the ward, Sienna Harrison had already left. Only Ivy Aretha was in the ward, asleep on her belly in front of the hospital bed.
Michael Gordon frowned, walked in, and closed the door behind him.
The little girl hadn’t woken up yet. Her originally rosy face had lost all color, and her entire head was wrapped in gauze. Her adorable nose was covered by an oxygen mask.
The blood loss caused her plump lips to lose their color, and Michael Gordon’s heart clenched at the sight. The pain in his heart was as familiar as it was silent, and guilt surged up within him.
Who dared to hurt his daughter!
He rembered Ivy ntioning it was caused by a car accident, but he hadn’t seen the culprit yet. How dare soone hit a child and then run away?
If he knew, he would make them regret ever being born!
“Baby, don’t be afraid, mommy’s here, mommy will protect you!”
Awakening from her sleep, Ivy murmured in a drowsy voice. Even with her eyes closed, her voice was filled with fear…
Her soft sobs sounded unclear, but he still understood what she ant!
Michael Gordon’s gaze shifted from Bella’s face to Ivy Aretha’s. She must have been terrified!
Her pale face had lost all color, her hair was disheveled, and even though she was asleep, her brows were still furrowed, and her forehead slightly twitched. The veins on her forehead pulsed visibly.
Her palms were carefully wrapped around Bella’s hand outside the hospital bed, cautious and tense. Looking closer, he could see the cold sweat on her hand.
She wasn’t resting easy!
After all that had happened, it was normal for her not to rest easy. But had she lived her life like this for so many years, always terrified?
Raising a child alone as a woman was definitely not easy. He had investigated her background and found that she had grown up in an orphanage with no family to speak of. Bella was five, and Ivy was twenty-four!
She had been only nineteen when she gave birth to her daughter. Normally, she should have been a student!
How did she manage back then?
Being so young and pregnant, she must have faced ridicule from others. Attending prenatal check-ups alone, giving birth alone, and raising a child alone, she must have been so strong!!
But her strength only made his heart ache!
Michael Gordon closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.
Half a minute later, he suddenly rembered sothing and began to send a ssage with his phone: Find out who’s responsible for the car accident in Apple Park on East New Road!
After sending the ssage, Michael Gordon dozed off on the sofa next to the hospital bed.
When Bella woke up, it was already eight o’clock in the evening!
“Mommy!”
“Baby, mommy’s here!”
When Ivy Aretha awoke from her sleep and saw Bella open her eyes, she cried out in excitent, “Don’t be afraid, mommy’s here…”
Bella furrowed her little brows and blinked her big, uninjured eyes at Ivy, “Mommy, I’m not scared, why are you crying?”
She was very brave and not afraid at all!
The little girl had no idea how close she had co to losing her life!
“Mommy won’t cry!” Ivy Aretha wiped her eyes and praised her daughter, “Baby, you’re so brave! Mommy will learn from you and be strong!”
She couldn’t cry. How could she cry? She was the pillar of strength for her daughter!
When Michael Gordon walked in with dinner, he saw this scene, and his handso face darkened!
“Why should a girl be brave when she has mommy and daddy to protect her?” Michael Gordon threw the boxed dinner on the dining table and walked straight to the hospital bed, “You can cry if you’re scared, cry if you’re angry, and cry if you’re unhappy!”
His daughter had soone to console her when she cried, right?
A child shouldn’t have to be so considerate. Every ti he thought of her being so mature, Michael Gordon’s heart ached profoundly. He wished he could cut open his head, erase his mories, and figure out what had happened in those years!
Why had Ivy Aretha been left alone to raise their child?!
But he would definitely find out!
“Uncle Gordon, why are you here?”
The little girl’s eyes lit up when she saw Michael Gordon, and she tried to sit up, but Michael pressed her back down on the bed.
“Don’t move!” Michael Gordon leaned down to kiss her cheek, “You’re injured now, you can’t move around!”
Bella blinked at Michael Gordon, then looked at Ivy Aretha, and pouted, “Mommy, did I almost die, and that’s why you let Uncle Gordon co see , to fulfill my last wish?”
Die? Last wish?
Fulfill?
Michael Gordon’s handso face darkened even more!
