Chapter 1448

Pandora pinched him hard, looking pretty disgusted. “Old man, it’s not like our daughter’s dead, what are you crying for?” Jeo protested, “Our daughter’s hurt so bad and I can’t even cry?”

Pandora retorted, “All you know is how to cry. If you’ve got guts, go give the guy who hurt our daughter a piece of your mind.” Jeo reasoned, “Fighting doesn’t solve anything. We need to talk things out, and if that fails, we can call the cops.”

Pandora snapped, “Don’t preach to me about your logic.”

Hannah tried to calm them down. “Mom, Dad, I’m okay, stop arguing.”

Hannah just wanted to soothe the situation, but Pandora turned on her. “You’re okay? You can’t even walk, you’re stuck in bed and you dare say you’re okay?”

Hannah fell silent. She only wanted to mediate!

She thought they would keep arguing. They’d been bickering for decades now, but they’d never split up because of it.

Pandora asked, “Why are you quiet now?”

Hannah replied, “Mom, are you angry? You always lose your temper…”

“If you’re really mad, go settle the score with Steven!” She muttered the last part under her breath.

But Pandora heard it. “You think I won’t? He hurt you this bad. I’ll make him pay.”

How could she not be angry? Every time she thought about it, she was furious! That guy used to spend Christmas at their house and promised Jeo he’d take care of their daughter. They trusted him and handed their daughter over to him. And only a few months later, he had done this to their daughter. If they didn’t go after him, who would they go after?

Jeo wiped his tears. “You can be mad at us, but don’t be mad at our daughter. She’s injured; she can’t handle your anger.”

Pandora fell silent.

Hannah quickly nodded. “Yeah… Mom, you need to be considerate of your injured daughter.”

Pandora reached out and pinched Hannah’s ear. “You useless thing. I’m considerate of you, but who’s considerate of me? We Ablesons aren’t weak. If someone bullies you, we fight back, even if we can’t win. Kind people can fight back when they’ve had enough.”

Hannah fell silent.

Jeo asked, “You’re always like this, is this really okay?”

Pandora replied, “So I should be like you? Let people walk all over me, insult me?”

Jeo was a really kind guy, he never rejected anyone and often helped others but was often scorned. Pandora was the strong one, and she made all the decisions at home. She often lectured her husband to stand up for himself and not to blindly trust others. But he never listened and always did things that were hard for him but others didn’t appreciate.

Seeing them quarrel, Hannah’s eyes turned red again, but not from sadness, but from relief. After facing a life and death situation, seeing her parents bickering was a blessing.

Hannah cried, and Jeo also cried, even harder than Hannah. “Hannah, are you feeling unwell? Why are you crying…”

Watching her crying father and daughter, Pandora couldn’t help but show her annoyance. She handed them a tissue. “Wipe your tears, no more crying!”
