Chapter 236 Thank You,

“Mommy.”

Joy’s voice was raspy, laced with a sense of loss.

Through her tears, she recalled her mother’s earlier words. “Daddy loves his job more than me, doesn’t he? Boo

hoo…”

“That’s not true,” Hadley responded, her own voice thick with emotion, feeling a weight on her chest that made

it difficult to breathe.

“Daddy loves Joy very much…”

“Why doesn’t he visit me then?”

Tears welled up in Joy’s large eyes. Sensing her mother’s struggle, she nestled closer within her embrace, her sobs growing louder. “Daddy’s mean! I don’t like Daddy anymore!”

“Joy.”

Hadley paused as she wrestled with her thoughts.

A part of her wanted to blurt out that her father did care, that he had even been here to see her!

Yet, she hesitated, fearing the implications of revealing too much.

She knew there was a special bond between Eric and Joy, and that he treated her well.

Yet, how could they be certain that Eric’s feelings wouldn’t shift if he discovered Joy was his daughter?

It was just like pets were adored by many, yet only a select few commit to them for life.

“Melba.” Joy raised her head, tears in her eyes, and addressed Melba. “Could you please call that nice uncle?”

“Well…” Melba paused, uncertain, her gaze shifting towards Hadley for guidance.

“We ran into that gentleman I told you about after you left yesterday,” she explained. “He spent a good amount

of time with Joy.”

She turned back to Joy, softly touching her head. “He might be occupied with important matters right now, Joy. I don’t think we should disturb him.”

“But he told me to call if I felt sick,” Joy insisted, her lower lip quivering.

Melba glanced at Hadley, seeking confirmation. “Should I call him? He seemed like a decent man.”

Hadley gave a small nod. “Yes, call him.”
