Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 61

Gordon sighed and said, “Never mind. I’ll hire the best doctor to treat you.”

Rather than feeling love or pity for the daughter who suddenly appeared, Gordon did not know what to feel about her.

However, that did not mean he was willing to have his feelings manipulated.

He had a hunch that… something smelled fishy.

Gordon opened a door to a room. When Leah saw that, she said, “That’s Charlie’s room. He never let me go inside.”

“How does Charlie treat you?” Gordon asked as he pushed the door and went inside.

Leah was silent for a while. “… So-so, I guess.”

The truth was that Charlie Parridge had always mistreated Leah.

The man had a violent temper. Ever since his wife’s death, he numbed himself with alcohol. Whenever he got home drunk, he would beat or abuse Leah.

However, that was already in the past.

That painful episode ended with Charlie’s death.

The furnishings in Charlie’s room were simple. There was only a bed and a cabinet.

Gordon walked up next to the bed. There was a photo frame placed there.

In the frame was a family photo. A young man was carrying a little girl with twin ponytails.

Gordon picked up the photo frame to take a closer look and immediately gasped in shock.

The faces of the three people in the photo had been blanked out!

“What’s the matter with this?” Gordon frowned and asked.

Leah also frowned when she saw the photo. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I’ve never seen this photo before.”
