Sanford halted in his tracks, shooting a sarcastic glance back at Drake.
âI have a question for you.
Is Maggie your biological daughter?â
Drake was taken aback.
His gaze flickered to Maggie as he replied, âOf course she is my daughter.
â
âDoesnât seem Like it! Maggie has been subjected to Yanaâs harassment on numerous occasions, and yet youâve disregarded it all.
Does that sound Like the behavior of a caring father?â Sanford retorted.
Drake was speechless.
He cast a glance at Maggieâs reddened eyes and muttered, âThatâs not true.
Nothing major has happened to herâ¦â
âHa! Youâre a worse father than your brother,â Sanford scoffed.
The pointed remark struck a nerve in Drake, and he bowed his head to avoid Sanfordâs icy, contemptuous stare.
Sanford tightened his grip on Maggie, declaring in a cold tone, âI would advise against siding with those who torment Maggie any further.
If you do, I will support her decision to sever your father-daughter relationship!â
How unfortunate that she was born into such an unsupportive family, saddled with a father so neglectful.
His heart ached for her.
But it didnât matter.
From this point onwards, he would be her shield.
Sanford cast a glance at the silent girl next to him and led her into the ward.
âMr.
Robles, please reconsider! I apologize on my daughterâs behalf!â
Blake implored.

Annoyance flickered in Sanfordâs eyes.
He ordered the security guards in the hallway, âThese people are causing a disturbance.
Please escort them out, and ensure I do not see them again.
â
Recognizing his authority, the security guards promptly complied and ushered them away.
The ward door closed, shutting out the exterior commotion.
Maggie guided Sanford to his bed.
As she took in his handsome visage, tears welled up unbidden in her eyes.
âSanford, I apologize.
Andâ¦thank you.
â
She was the reason behind his injury, yet he continually defended her
She felt both remorseful and deeply touched.
