Janice didn't seem to think that her daughter would be so cold. He staggered back, as if he had just been slapped. Then the woman's eyes fell on Lilia's figure.
Janice asked in a trembling voice, "Lilia, do you want to go too?"
Lilia watched her birth mother, who was standing in front of her, for a moment. Even though they had many similarities, there was still a difficult distance to cross between them.
Lilia only nodded slightly and didn't say much. To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with Janice. He didn't even have the courage to call her 'Mother' like Mellisa. Lilia shifted her gaze and pulled Jean back to walk.
In Lilia's heart, she understood the love and hope of everyone in the Irwan Family for Leila. But he couldn't accept the Irwan Family's attitude towards one thing. The Irwan family may be indifferent to Lilia, but they shouldn't ignore Mellisa's existence.
No matter how famous or respected a family is, it's useless if it doesn't provide the love and warmth it needs.
*****
The arrival and departure of people from the Irwan Family's house finally stopped as well. What happened during that more than one hour made the Irwan Family feel as if half a century had passed.
The person who felt the change the most was Janice. The woman returns to Leila's former room with heavy steps. Once she entered, she immediately took Richard's hand and burst into tears.
Between sobs, Janice asked, "Why did you let them go?"
He really felt the distance between himself and his two biological daughters. Then they left one by one, making Janice feel that she had lost all her children in one day.
Janice hasn't exchanged stories about the past with Lilia. He also didn't know about Mellisa's past. Janice hasn't even said goodbye to Leila one last time, but they've all left.
Janice was very sad and couldn't stop blaming herself. She simply lacked her dignified and graceful appearance on an ordinary day. Janice continued to cry like a broken heart, her tears continued to flow.
Richard suppressed his emotions so as not to be carried away by Janice's sadness. Yet he still reached out to pat her on the shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Meanwhile, Jenny was massaging her forehead as she said in a disappointed tone, "Janice, don't cry. It's all happened, what's the point of crying? If Lilia and Mellisa were treated well when they came back to this house, maybe things wouldn't have gotten this bad. They weren't. will be too distant from us, and things won't get to this point. "
Jenny sighed and shook her head. If these two brilliant young women were her daughters, Jenny wouldn't let them be let down by anyone.
"Janice, think about the situation carefully. Leila just got kicked out of front of all of us. Maybe not all of us are happy to see that happen. But at least we all agree with this result. " Jenny said seriously. "But how about you? After that, what did you do for your two biological children? What do they think of you? "
Janice's shoulders jumped when she heard that. He could only lower his head without giving an answer.
"I don't understand either, what exactly is good about Leila? You as the parents must know. The little girl's eyes were filled with cunning and guile. Don't you guys really know? Or do you actually know but deliberately ignore it? "
Jenny took turns looking at Janice and Richard, who both looked away.
Jenny sighed again. "Earlier in front of the two children, I deliberately held back and didn't ask too many questions. But now that they're all gone, I won't hold back anymore. "
Richard's older sister turned a dagger-sharp gaze at her younger brother.
"Richard, you said earlier that you had launched an investigation. But you still haven't given Lilia a fair argument. She is your real daughter, but how did she become a member of the Pangestu Family? How did he and Leila get exchanged? Have you investigated this matter? "Said Jenny.
Richard was stroking Janice's back lightly when he heard Jenny's question. The man met his brother's gaze. "I've started an investigation, but the results aren't out yet." Richard replied briefly.
It is not easy to investigate the details of an incident that occurred 24 years ago. But Richard was a stubborn and persistent person. He himself was eager to know the truth, even though it was painful.
*****
From that day on, the lives of Richard and his wife took a hundred and eighty degrees. Their days are filled with hardships and sorrow. On the one hand, they missed Leila who was taken away by the Pangestu Family. But at the same time, they were also thinking about Lilia and Mellisa's feelings.
In fact, for their longing for Leila, time would eventually fade these feelings.
But on the other hand, the two sisters, Lilia and Mellisa, had become wounds that they couldn't speak or touch. The two of them had not returned since the day they left the Irwan Family home. This incident shocked everyone in the house.
*****
That afternoon, after leaving the Irwan family home, Lilia and Mellisa together returned to the hospital.
Lilia is a little worried about Mellisa's injury. After all, that sister had done something to Sylvia before. He didn't know if Mellisa's movement had made the wound open again.
Even though Mellisa insisted that she was fine, Lilia made it clear to the woman that she couldn't believe Mellisa's words at all. Lilia, supported by Leonard and Jean, finally succeeded in dragging her sister back to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Leonard immediately called the head doctor to examine Mellisa. Lilia wanted to follow the doctor into the examination room, but the doctor slammed the door shut behind her.
Lilia stood in front of the door and blinked in confusion. Then he slowly touched the tip of his nose in anger. The door nearly slammed into his face!
Then Lilia heard a thick, magnetic laugh in her ears. Jean embraced his shoulders before pulling Lilia into his arms. The man noticed Lilia's annoyed gaze.
Jean whispered in Lilia's ear, "How about we go back to the room and wait there? I guarantee that man won't let anything wrong befall Mellisa."
When Lilia heard that, her anxiety eased a little. Like Jean said, he also believed that Leonard would keep Mellisa safe. Lilia started thinking that Leonard would become her brother-in-law in the future. Inevitably, he felt a little excited in his heart.
As long as Leonard can take care of Mellisa with all her heart, Lilia doesn't mind helping that man win her sister's heart!
Jean, who managed to calm Lilia down, took the woman back to their ward.
After the man stepped inside, Lilia closed the door behind her. In the next second, Lilia was pushed to the door and greeted with a deep intoxicating kiss. That man's distinctive scent invaded Lilia's nose. Unlike Jean's previous aggressive attitude, he was very gentle today.
When Lilia was finally released from the kiss, her cheeks were pink as red as an apple.. She rested her forehead on the man's shoulders and wrapped her arms around Jean's body, hugging him tightly.
