Female Novel
Chapter 2327
Dexter pulled down his mask, bent down, and leaned closer to Leia. "It's me. I'm your father!"
Leia gave him a murderous look. Even if the man in front of her had become ashes, she would be ableto recognize him, not to mention that he was just wearing a face mask now. However, the man in frontof her was definitely not her father!
“My father is a senior official, not some shameless pervert like you!” Leia scowled with her body leaningbackward. She wanted to stay away from him.
Dexter was unhappy when he heard Leia refusing to acknowledge him as her father. "He's your fosterfather, and I'm your biological father. I gave you my liver. How can you say something so unfilial tome?"
Leia wanted to stay away from the man in front of her. She wanted to stand up and leave, but she fellback into the wheelchair as she had no stamina. She accidentally pulled her wound. It was so painfulthat she furrowed her brows.
"Oh Leia, my good daughter. What's wrong with you?" Dexter immediately comforted her. Dexter wasgetting older, and he was all alone. Although Luke had given him a sum of money, the money would begone if he spent it extravagantly.
Dexter had been thinking about it for the past few days. Since Leia had come back, he should seize thechance to look for Leia and ask her to look after him.
However, he had been in the hospital for a couple of days. He could not find out where Leia's ward wasno matter how hard he tried to find out.
The doctor told him that he could get discharged from the hospital after doing a final check-up.Therefore, Dexter had given up the idea of looking for Leia.
Today, he followed the nurse for a check-up. He never expected that he would run into Leia.
Dexter was able to recognize Leia with just a glance at her from the back. The person sitting in thewheelchair was Leia.
The nurse who brought Leia for the check-up could not figure out the current situation, so she asked,"What's going on?"
Leia did not care if Dexter showed concern for her. She shot a cold glance at the nurse and said, "Bringme upstairs. I don't know this man." "Leia, how can you be so heartless?" Before the nurse could sayanything, Dexter stood up straight and looked around him. Then, he raised his voice, "I know I wasn't agood father and I didn't take care of you back then, but you were lucky enough to have wealthy fosterparents. You grew up happily. I was wrong. Now that I'm old, my only wish is to acknowledge you. Butyou still refuse to admit that I'm your father. I even let the doctor cut half of my liver to save you for thesake of your health. What more do you want from me to be able to forgive me?"
His voice was loud and clear. Many people had come to the outpatient department to do their medicalcheck-us. He caught their attention, and people were staring at them.
Leia was disgusted at the thought of his liver being in her body. A queasy feeling churned in herstomach, and her body temperature was dropping!
She wished that she could cut off all the ties with this man, which included blood ties and genes.
Hence, she would not have accepted Dexter's liver if it were not because she was left with no choice!
Leia retorted, “Get lost. I'll never forgive you. All you knew was to sell your wife and daughter. You don'tdeserve to be my father!"
Dexter knew Leia hated him, and he knew that he would not have another chance to ask for herforgiveness. He noticed that the people around him were looking at them.
Thud! He kneeled on the floor.
"Leia, I'm sorry. I've spent my days living in the shelter. I really wanted to see you again. I prayed toGod, hoping that I could do something for you. And you're finally back here, but you were sick. I knewGod was giving me the chance to make it up to you. That's why I donated half of my liver to you. I hopethat I can ask for your forgiveness and hear you call me 'Dad'." Tears streamed down Dexter's face. Anold man was kneeling before her. Those who did not know what had happened felt sorry for him.
However, Leia was not one of them.
The man's blood was flowing in her body, and she was using his liver too. She knew why he wassaying these things to her. He was thinking of exploiting her, like a vampire craving her blood.
Leia was not silly. If she let him get what he wanted, she would have to bear another burden in thefuture.
She needed someone like Jack to change her life, instead of someone who would hold her back likeDexter.
"Leave me alone. I'm not going to forgive you for everything that you did in the past just because youdonated half of your liver to me. Besides, you were paid for this!" Leia knew that if she did not sayanything, those people would speak up for Dexter.
"Leia, how can you be so heartless?! I took the money because half of my liver is gone and it mightaffect my daily life in the future. I couldn't hope for you to take care of me, and that's why I took themoney. At least I can make sure that I won't live a miserable life when I have no one to depend on."Dexter sniffled in between words. He was crying his lungs out.
The nurse had already given Dexter a haircut and shaved his beard when he was admitted to thehospital. He no longer looked like a tramp now. He just looked like a skinny, old man.
Outsiders would only think that he was just an old father who had risked his life to save his daughter.
"Don't you ever think that I'll have sympathy for you just because of your words. Perhaps you're justtrying to gain sympathy. Go away. I never want to see you again!" Leia yelled at the caretaker, "Whyare you still standing there? Bring me upstairs."
The caretaker came back to her senses. Dexter rose to his feet when she was about to reverse thewheelchair. He stood in front of Leia and blocked her. His hands were clasping the wheelchair, refusingto let go. "Leia, I never asked for anything when I donated my liver to you. All I want is to hear you callme 'Dad' again. Can't you do that for me?"
Leia was so furious that her body was trembling, and her body temperature was quickly dropping aswell. “You don't deserve it!"
Right after she said that, one of the bystanders said, "I remember her. She's the female celebrity wholeft the entertainment industry, Leia."
"Really? The name doesn't ring a bell. But she's wearing a mask. How are you able to recognize her?"Another person went along with that man.
"The news stated that she got admitted to the hospital for treatment. I think that's her. I remember thatbefore she ended her career as an actress, a man claimed that he was her biological father andaccused her of being unfilial..."
"That should be her. I remember reading that news. Tsk-tsk. How can this woman be so heartless?Even if her father had done something terrible to her, it's all over now. He took the risk to donate his
liver to her at his age. How could she be so ungrateful.." Another bystander criticized her.
Leia's eyes reddened as she yelled at those people, "You know nothing!"
They did not know that Dexter was unworthy of being called a father. Never mind all the things he did inthe past. A man like him without any background and social status did not deserve to be her father!
"My father is Jack Norman, not this tramp in front of me!" Leia screamed. She lifted her leg and gave abrutal kick to Dexter's body.
Dexter did not expect that Leia would kick him. It sent him flying to the floor. He noticed that manypeople were speaking up for him. He remained on the floor and mumbled, "My daughter doesn't wantto acknowledge me. She even kicked me. I'm better off dead!"novelbin
