Chapter 182 Daddy Lan (Part One)

"You are the mother of my children, and I will get you back!"

William announced in his usual authoritative manner. Stunned, Mary and Victor stared at him.

Listening to William's words, Victor remembered a scene from four years ago. William had visited his apartment, looking both miserable and angry. He confessed he had fallen deeply in love with Mary. He also begged for Mary's whereabouts. This memory had almost slipped from Victor's mind. But now, seeing William look at Mary with his tender eyes, the memory resurfaced.

'What about Frank Liang?' Victor had wondered then. And even today, he had the same question.

"How many times should I tell you?" After recovering from the shock, Mary said coldly, "I have cut all ties with you. It is better if you stop trying to get near me. I have moved on and I don't wish to go through that pain all over again! If you have a bit of humanity left in you, could you do that for me?"

"Mary..." A look of regret appeared in William's eyes. "Every year, I went to Z City, to visit your mother's graveyard. I thought perhaps I would be lucky to come face to face with you. Unfortunately, it never happened."

"What were you doing there?" Mary sneered. "Were you there to atone for your sins?" she asked, her tone tinged with mockery.

"Mary, I'm sorry." Lowering his head, William pleaded, "Please give me another chance. I will make it up to you this time, I promise."

"What brou

ing to William.

William gazed at his daughter, choking with sobs. He had never felt so happy in his life. Nodding his head, he said, "Good girl, Elissa."

"You..." Mary clenched her fists, about to say something. Just then, the door of the operating room opened.

Lucas came out with Alick in his arms. They both were chatting and laughing.

"How did it go?" Mary asked, walking towards them.

"He is all right now." Lucas touched Alick's face and said, "He's recovering well, but his wound needs a lot of attention in the next few days. I'll bring him back to the hospital for a reexamination later."

"Thank you, Daddy Lucas."

"Good boy!" Lucas took the opportunity to hug Alick again.

Mary smiled and felt relieved. Once Alick was done thanking Lucas, Mary opened her arms and he threw himself into Mary's arms.

"Mommy, it has been a while since Daddy Barry showed up. Where is he?" asked Alick, looking around.

"Daddy Barry has a lot of work. But you spoke to him on the phone yesterday, didn't you? He said he would be back tonight. But don't stay up waiting for him. The doctor said you need rest," Mary said and tousled his hair.

"But I miss him so much, Mommy!" he cried out.

"Who is it that Alick is missing?"

From the corridor, a man's voice came.

"Daddy Barry!"

Alick was the first one to react. Freeing himself out of Mary's arms, he ran toward Barry, a bright smile on his handsome face.
