Chapter 365: Reasons for Not Wanting to Return 2
Under her parents’ expectations, she did not disappoint them.
She indeed grew increasingly outstanding.
The pity from others turned into praise for the parents.
They said the parents had foresight, raising such an excellent daughter.
In front of others, she was excellent, perfect, soaring like an eagle!
Her father’s career soared higher and higher, but his demands on her grew increasingly harsh.
She still remembered winning first place, all she desired was a word of praise from her father.
But her father said: "It is just a first place, you need to try harder! You are my daughter, Terence Rhodes, and you must not be a disgrace!"
Her mother, meanwhile, focused on whether her brother was eating well, only casually praised: "Luna, you are great, but as your father said, you need to try harder."
Luna Rhodes detected her mother’s perfunctory tone.
She suddenly felt so tired.
Clearly, she hadn’t faced hardships; her parents never hit or scolded her, nor did they skimp on her meals; she was happier than many children.
But she still felt, so tired, so very tired.
She suddenly began to feel resentment.
She was shocked, even terrified.
Clearly, they were her parents, they gave her life, why did she feel resentment?
From babbling as a baby to twenty-five years old, Luna Rhodes’ life seemed never to be in her own control.
Until that day, she received orders from her superiors; she had to go abroad.
Once the task was completed, her position could be higher, she could become a more outstanding person.
Just before leaving, she heard her mother say to her father: "The child is already so grown up, should have married long ago. The Adler Family’s son is good; once she returns from this task, Luna can be promoted, and the Adler Family will like her more."
Her father did not utter a word.
She couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment.
Only felt desolate, lamenting.
She liked no one, she did not want her life to end without a trace.
She disliked everything about the Rhodes Family.
Upon leaving, she gave a final smile to her stern father and said: "Dad, goodbye."
Then, she completed the task abroad but met with an accident, severely injured, losing her memory for decades.
But she knew, even if she remembered everything from beginning to end, she wouldn’t choose to go back.
The person who rescued her loved her dearly and named her Merva.
She settled abroad, established a career, now has children, a happy little family.
She read about her family’s prominence in the newspaper, but she never aspired to it.
She thought, her father is remarkable.
But not her father, not Luna Rhodes’ father.
-
Thea Shaw heard Old Mr. Kensington say that Old Master Rhodes had returned.
He fell ill upon returning, seemed to have lost his vitality, lying in the hospital.
Many went to see him.
Old Mr. Kensington told Thea Shaw to go too.
After all, this fortune telling was done by Thea Shaw.
Thea Shaw took a fruit basket to visit Old Master Rhodes.
There was no need to guess; one could know he saw his daughter, though perhaps the outcome was not as he wished.
On the way to the hospital, the first person Thea Saw wasn’t Old Master Rhodes, strictly guarded by many bodyguards, but his youngest granddaughter, Franklin Rhodes.
Franklin wore a white shirt, strikingly handsome, but the slant of his eyes seemed even more mischievous than Landon Ford’s.
He only looked at Thea Shaw, slightly questioning, and said: "My aunt was the one you found?"
Old Master Rhodes’ fortune-telling was no secret within the Rhodes family, many didn’t believe in it, but they didn’t expect Luna Rhodes to actually be found.
