Evil Stepmother Kelly's POV
It was already morning when | woke up. | found snew clothes on the couch with note from Klay. A sweet
smile curved on my lips because of what he did. Never in my wildest dreams that I'd see Klay doing this but this
is real.
| immediately took a shower and got dressed. | plan to talk to my dad today. Even if he couldn't utter a proper
word, | want to stay by his side and tell him everything that has happened toall these years. don't wanna
waste another year so I'm grabbing this opportunity to make up for the lost years with my father and ask for his
forgiveness
| was expecting to see Klay in the kitchen but | only saw the maid standing behind a woman, wearing red sexy
lingerie. She was sipping on the glass of orange juice while sitting elegantly on the dining chair like a queen.
It's still early in the morning, but she already has makeup on even when she's only wearing lingerie.
The third wife of my father. She's Amanda. | already met her once and from the very beginning, | didn't like her.
She's younger than my dad and a few years older than me. She's obviously just after
my father's wealth and seeing how she enjoyed her breakfast while my father is in that condition, my hatred for
her intensified.

| balled my fists and instead of answering her, | looked at the maid behind her. "Where's Klay?"
*Klay left early, dear. He needs to manage your father's company and all his debts," Amanda answered
My forehead creased. Debt? My father has debts? | want to know further about that but | don't wanna talk
to Amanda.
| turned my back and went upstairs. | went straight to my father's room and found a maid feeding him, However,
he kept on shaking his head and grunting.
"Letdo that," | said to the maid as | entered the room.
Dad's eyes immediately widened after he saw me. | smiled at him and sat beside the bed.
"You need to eat," | said as the maid handedthe bowl of porridge and left us.
| was shocked when dad suddenly grabbed my hand. The spoon fell on the blanket but dad's grip remained on
my hand. He's weak but he's holdingso tight. Fear was evident in his eyes as he looked at me. Klay's words
rang in my head. Is he like this because he doesn't wantto see him this way?
| put the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and held my father's hands. | gently kissed his hands and smiled
at him as tears pooled in the corner of my eyes.
"I'm sorry for c-coming late, dad. Please forgive me."
Tears rolled down his cheeks as he shook his head. | wiped his tears and pulled him closer. When | felt his warm
body against mine, my tears intensified. "I'm sorry, dad. Please forgivefor leaving you alone," | sobbed.
| hugged my father tight as he continued grunting. A few seconds later, | felt him freeze so | pulled away and
looked at his face.

"Dad," | called as | wiped my tears and wiped his cheeks too.
"He's not alone, Kelly." That voice interrupted us.

with arms crossed, watching us.

married Amanda and even though | don't want to, | have to accept her. For the sake of my father. "You're
offendingright there, step daughter. Your father was never alone. I'm here for him. Right, dear?"

something to him? | want to understand but in his condition, | know he won't be able to properly tell me

Amanda chuckled, "I'm sorry. | just want to check on my husband. | was told that he doesn't want to eat so I'm
worried."
My forehead creased as | watched her walk towards us. She went to the other side of the bed and sat on -the
bed. She leaned to my father and gently kissed his cheek.
"I'll leave you to your daughter for now, dear. Be good, okay?"
Be good? Is that a threat?
I've been doubting her intention even from the beginning and that doubt has intensified again. | don't wanna
