The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 237: "There's Only You"

Even with a lot of pleading and tears, Min Ah and her mother couldn't convince Mr. Bae to hear their side. They were led away by the butler of the Bae family and were reminded to cooperate. The mother and daughter left without sparing a look at Suzy. They didn't even bother to ask for her forgiveness. Their action spoke volumes of their stand to both her father and Jackson.

It didn't take long before the doctor Jackson had called arrived, followed by another doctor who Suzy recognized as her family doctor. With Jackson's help, they moved her father from the sitting room to his bedroom to have him checked thoroughly.

Suzy didn't say a word and left them be as her sole focus was her father's condition. She was glad that Jackson was with her and had not left her side even for a second as the doctors tended to her father. Once they deemed him safe and out of danger, they left and allowed Suzy to talk to her ailing father.

"You really want to divorce her just like that?" She asked him.

This was the first time her father had stood up and sided with her ever since she first started getting trapped in multiple arguments with her stepmother and Min Ah.

Her father and Min Ah's mother had been married from the time Suzy was born up to now. Was it really alright for her father to make such a reckless decision? Regardless of whether she hated Suzy or not, she would never wish for anything bad to befall on her sister.

"I may be foolish, Suzy, but I'm not blind." Her father said with a guilty tone in his voice. "I thought that by having her as your second mother and with Min Ah around, you would be happy again. I guess I made a bad choice then."

From the moment his first wife died from illness, Suzy had never been the same again. The once bright and cheerful child was gone overnight and she had stopped smiling at him. Mr. Bae thought that having a younger sister would somehow open up his eldest child's heart to them.

Alas, Suzy only gave the infant a good look and didn't stay too long during their introduction. Since then, she had kept everyone at arm's length and never bothered to make any effort to get closer to his new family.

He had thought that in time, Suzy would eventually accept him, but he was proven wrong this time. Because the one who isolated her, gave up on her and kept her at a distance was none other than he himself.

His wife and Min Ah took advantage of this and tried to harm her behind his back. Knowing all of this, how could he let them stay with him any longer and overlook the things they had done to harm his eldest daughter?

"Is Min Ah really not your daughter?" She was still in disbelief that her father would try to disown her younger sister after their confrontation earlier.

This was something Suzy had never thought was possible. For as long as she could remember, her father had treated Min Ah like a pearl in his hands, so for him to harbor such thoughts and uncertainty surprised her.

Now that Min Ah was being kicked out of their family business, she had no one to support her and protect her from public scrutiny aside from her mother.

"I'm not sure myself. We'll see whether she's really mine or not." Her father grunted and took a deep calming breath. He then glanced at the closed door of his room.

"He's waiting for you outside, isn't he?" He asked Suzy, pertaining to Jackson.

Blush crept on the apple of her cheeks as she nodded. This wasn't what she imagined when she decided to introduce Jackson to her father. Would he think bad of him after what transpired earlier?

"He's really good and kind to me." She said in response, paying attention to her father's reaction.

"I can see that." She heard her father chuckle with a slight smile. "He looks at you as if you are the only one that matters. I suppose I can forgive his impertinence earlier if he treats you better than I do."
