Chapter 1600
Harry was shocked. He felt his blood boiling!
He knew Joanne had plastic surgery and that her face changed after she survived the explosion, but he had never given much thought to what she had been through.
Joanne sighed, a sullen look on her face.
"You know what I hate most about you? I hate you not because you look down on me or are so cruel to me, but my daughter almost died that winter. After I got rescued from the explosion, I had taken a lot of drugs that pregnant women are not supposed to use to survive. But the side effects were bad for the baby. Tail has been on medication and fluids since the moment she was born.
"Have you ever seen a child so young with so many needle holes in her hands that the doctor had to stab the syringe in her arm?
"Tell me: should I accept your apology? Do you think Tail will be as strong as any other kids after you apologize?" "Stop, please." Harry felt so ashamed. He had his hands over his face in shame. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, he couldn’t even say sorry, let alone defend himself.
He felt sorry for Joanne and his granddaughter.
"It's not that I don’t forgive you, but you're too evil. You don't deserve my forgiveness." Joanne's eyes welled up with tears after she finished. Tears slid down her cheeks to her jaw.
Edwin felt sympathy for Joanne.
He knew how much misery she had gone through to turn to the cold and tough woman from the simple girl she used to be. She had such deep fears and sorrows hidden in her heart.
He couldn’t imagine how Joanne had struggled. To stay alive, she had to take those medication, the ones she knew clearly would hurt her baby. He couldn't imagine how Tail had survived. He couldn't bear to think how the little girl who was supposed to be under his protection was struggling in the ICU.
Edwin blamed himself deeply. He suddenly wanted to take Joanne into his arms, but just as he reached out his arms, Joanne clutched her shoulders, crouched on the floor, and started sobbing.
Looking at her shoulders trembling, Edwin was overwhelmed with guilt.
At that moment, he was not Harry’s son but only Joanne's husband and Tail's father.
Now, Edwin looked frightening. Noticing the change in Edwin's mood, Harry and Noah were both scared.
In addition to fear, Harry had guilt in his eyes.
"I know it's all my fault, but I love Tail so much. I just found out she's my granddaughter. I'm so old. If you send me to jail, you are literally killing me. Edwin, forgive me, please..."
Edwin ignored Harry. He waited quietly for Joanne to calm down. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. Then he pulled her up from the floor and got her seated on the couch.
Edwin carefully wiped the tears from her face. He felt ashamed.
Harry begged Edwin again, but Edwin rebuffed him bluntly. "It's too late. Do you think I'm your son so I won't do anything to you no matter what you do? Today you will pay for what you have done!" "Edwin..."
Knock, knock, knock--
Suddenly there came a rat-a-tat on the door.
Edwin frowned and glanced at Lucas.
Lucas then went to answer the door, but was taken aback by the people standing at the door.
It was Catelyn and Old Madam Atherton.
