A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 550 How Could You Say That

Beryl wanted to visit Jack at the hospital, but Jacob brought her back to the villa instead.

"From now on, you are Miss. Beryl of the Gu family. This is your home now," he said.

He lowered his fierce gaze and regarded her aloofly. She was a frightened animal cowering at his feet, and in that moment he could not help but feel pity and soften his heart.

He was surprised at what a natural beauty she was once she had cleaned up.

'Of course, how could my daughter be born ugly!' he thought proudly.

She hadn't uttered even a single word on the way back to the villa. Even now she continued her silent protest against Jacob. Her thoughts turned to her mother in D Country and poor Anna who had been captured and taken back there against her will.

'Oh! My God! How could I forget them!' she thought unhappily, blaming herself for not being more mindful of their situation.

She had returned to Z Country with the intent of pleading with Jacob to return and save Emily. Many things had happened though, and the plan had been derailed somewhat. Today was so challenging, and it was heavy with chaos!

'I'm fine. I'm fine, even if Daddy does not like me, as long as he can save Mommy!' She thought with determination beyond her years.

"Daddy..." she spoke in a low voice.

His sharp hearing instantly reacted to the sound. He was startled by the sudden rush of joy which filled him for no apparent reason, "What's wrong?" he asked.

'So that's how it feels to hear your daughter call you? It feels so good...

Why do I feel that I once heard it so often?' he wondered, his heart hammering wildly.

"I have something to say..." she continued gravely. She was not fully trusting of him yet, and her eyes were guarded and vigilant.

He considered that the events of today might be the cause of this mistrust and that she was really frightened. She was his daughter, and he felt it natural to be more patient and gentle with her.

"Yeah, I hear you. What do you need to say?" he prompted gently.

He had every intention of spoiling her, as a daughter should be. He couldn't wait to hear if she had a request which he could fulfill.
