Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 173 173: I hope you are not blaming her

"You kids really scared us. How can you put your lives at risk in that way? What would have happened to us if something had gone wrong?" Belle glared at the two who acquiesced to her scolding.

No matter how hard they tried to justify themselves, they could not ignore the fear they had instilled in their parents.

"And Eveline Miller, how could you be so reckless? Do you no longer love your father that much to put your life in danger?" Jonathan expressed his dissatisfaction, hoping that she would recognize her error and take his words seriously.

Eveline had never seen her father so upset, but when he addressed her by her full name, she realized her mistake and accepted his words without explanation.

"Relax, you two; how long are you going to scold them? I am sure they preached to themselves not to make the same mistake again. So let us end here."

Though Richard was equally upset, he did not want to prolong their displeasure after witnessing how obediently they had taken their words without saying anything in defense.

Daniel informed them of the entire conspiracy that took place on the terrace. Yes, they were upset, but they were more concerned about their children's safety, who would have died if help had not arrived on time.

"And how long do you want to sit there? Just go back to your room already. The doctors are trying to examine you, but you are glued to her like chewing gum," Richard said, and Gabriel quickly got out of the bed he had been sharing with Eveline since the previous night.

Eveline could not help but smile as she watched Gabriel obey Richard's commands, but then her gaze shifted to her father, who appeared exhausted.

Eveline never wanted to scare him, and she felt sorry for how worried he must have been while she was unconscious.

"Dad, I am sorry," Eveline said, capturing Jonathan's attention, who simply glanced at her without saying anything.

Belle observed their thoughtful exchange and they excused themselves, stating they needed to discuss the discharge with the doctors.

Gabriel hesitated, but she dragged him out of the room to give the father and daughter some space.

The room fell silent as the door to her room closed, and she turned to face Jonathan, who had still not spared her a glance.

"How long have you been dealing with this, and why did not you tell me that your life was under constant threat?"

After Alex was arrested, Tiffany, Susan's daughter, came to light for endangering Eveline's life.

Jonathan had been giving her space by not interfering with her life because he wanted Eveline to have her independence. But if this freedom endangered her life, he did not think he would let her leave the house without any guards.
