Chapter 266 Accident (1/2)
She seldom stayed with her father and didn't feel anything wrong. But now, looking at her father's back, Melinda suddenly found that she seemed not to be a good daughter.
Jonas stood beside her and read out the guilt and sadness in her eyes. He held her more tightly in his arms.
”Let's visit Dad together more often from now on,” Jonas comforted her. While Melinda raised her eyes to look at Jonas, and he found that her eyes were filled with tears somehow.
Looking at her like this, Jonas was very nervous. Vern seemed to feel that and turned around to look at them.
”A daughter will get married when she grows up. Don't cry,” he said and pretended to be fierce. Tears rolled down from Melinda's eyes uncontrollably. She instantly broke away from the arms of Jonas and ran to her father.
”Dad.”
Vern didn't know what to do seeing her choking with sobs and acting like a spoiled child. Worrying that she might change her mind, Jonas walked up to her and held her in his arms.
”Linda, your father will feel sad if you continue to be like this,” Jonas whispered in Melinda's ear.
With her misty eyes and knitted brows, Melinda looked at her father. Vern seemed to control some kind of emotion. It was not until then did she find that her crying made her father feel even worse.
”Jonas, don't let her look back.” Looking at Jonas, Vern said. His daughter had already been married, but he was still reluctant to leave her.
This was the stubbornness of an old father. Jonas left with Melinda at last, and both of them hoped that the child of them would not be a girl.
It didn't mean that they preferred sons to daughters. But this made Jonas feel so sad. He tried to think in the position of Vern. He thought that a daughter was better not to get married because he could afford her anyway.
Melinda was in a very low mood. After getting on the car, she did not say a word. She just quietly leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the scenery outside the window.
When she was a child, she only felt a lump in her throat when she read those people's story. Now she could feel that it was full of complexity.
”Linda, grandpa is waiting for us at home,” Jonas said with a smile, reaching out and holding Melinda's hands. His body temperature was relatively low, but her fingers are even colder than his.
”I'm fine,”
Melinda said. She withdrew her hands from his. She devoted herself into a new family regardless of all consequences only because she loved the one by her side, but after she got injured all over the body. She was more greedy for the selfless love of her father.
After all, she was not a child. She knew that what her father did was for her good, but seeing clearly was one thing and doing was another.
