Chapter 17: Bitter Words And Broken Heart

Jay turned to her, his face hard. "Though I hated your mother, I tried to be good to you because you’re my daughter. I was wrong. You’re just like her. You don’t deserve to be loved. You don’t deserve to be part of this family. Leave while I’m still being nice."

"He’s dying because of you. I already told you. Now leave," Sephina repeated angrily. "Jay, I don’t want to see her."
