Regret Came Too Late

To Jodie's surprise, her words hit a nerve with the nurse.

"Do you still think that you're some royal princess? Everyone already knows that your dad is Jack Quinn. Do you even know who he is?

"He's the one who drove my father to suicide. Jack Quinn is a piece of shit and the monster I hate the most in this life!" The nurse's eyes were all red.

Twenty years ago, her father told them that he was going to the company to demand his wages. Her mother was the only one at home, taking care of her and her little brother. Her father never came back.

Rumor had it that he was forced to jump off the building because he had blocked Jack's car.

Her father was the most ordinary one among all the other hundreds of people driven to suicide. His story might be too insignificant to be recorded in history, but it would be forever etched in her memories.

Now that her sworn enemy's daughter was right in front of her, she was already doing a splendid job suppressing the burning anger within her and not stabbing her right then and there.

The nurse knew that she could not act brashly as she still had other family members. She could not let Jack ruin her family a second time.

The other nurse's voice became hoarse as well. "Let's not talk about it anymore. Forget it. Let's go."

The angry nurse took a deep breath. Then, she looked at Jodie and snickered.
