The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 470 Father and Daughter Meet

Dean couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Only days ago, he wanted to get rid of her, but now he needed her help. How ironic.

Sophia had taken $700,000 from him when she left. Asking her to come back now didn't seem too unreasonable.

With that thought, Dean picked up his phone, connected it to the car's Bluetooth, and Sophia's name flashed on the car's screen.

As he dialed, Dean felt a slight sense of relief.

But the cold, automated voicemail that followed made his heart sink instantly.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. Meanwhile, at Emerald City Psychiatric Hospital.

Sophia hung up the phone, glaring at Hayden in front of her. She took a deep breath and refused, "I'm not going abroad. You can forget about it!"

Hayden thought Sophia was being ridiculous. "Are you crazy? I'm offering to pay for you to live abroad, to study abroad, without you having to work for it! How does it seem like I'm mistreating you?

"I'm warning you, don't try to negotiate. Get out of the country now! Don't come back without my permission!"

If he hadn't added that last sentence, Sophia might have still clung to the fantasy that her father loved her and cared about her future, just wasn't good at expressing it.

But now, hearing those orders, it was like he was commanding a pet.

How laughable.

A resolute look flashed in Sophia's eyes, and she spoke coldly, "Did someone ask you to send me abroad?"

Hayden was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered to avoid Sophia noticing anything.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm your father! I can ask you to do anything! I don't need anyone else to tell me!"
