Chapter 1918
Punished by His Love
Chapter 1918
She was just a ten-year-old child, so how could she understand the intentions and the world of
adults? From Eira's understanding, it was just being beaten by Aunt Joy, or if worse comes to
worst, she just had to be on all fours in the Steven family's yard and learn to bark like a dog.
other than that, she could be asked to kneel on the floor for Brooke to ride her like a horse and
let the entire Stevens family to call her a little beggar. It was fine! It did not matter! Eira could
endure it as long as she was not sent to prison. She did not want to be imprisoned. She was not
scared out of wits for herself, but for her mother. If she were to be imprisoned, the neighbors
certainly would scold her mother even more. They would say that her mother did not teach her
daughter well, her daughter was a thief and so on. If that was the case, her mother's crazy
condition certainly would worsen. If she was imprisoned, then who would be the one to take care
of her mother? Just her brother alone? Her brother still had to go out to work. No!
Eira shook her head with all her might. "Aunt Joy, go ahead. I will agree to whatever you want
me to do as long as you donât send me to prison. I...I donât want others to know that I have stolen
something. I don't want my classmates and others to say that I'm a thief. I'm scared..."
Eira had always been feeling very inferior when she was in front of her classmates. Not only did
she not have a father, but her mother was mentally ill. Her classmates usually did not play with
her and they would hide from her without any rhyme or reason. Eira had always wanted to be
able to get along with her classmates, so she had been studying very hard, actively participating
in extracurricular activities, and she had even often taken the initiatives to take care of the
cleanliness of the classroom. Even then, her classmates still ignored her. However, that did not
matter. Eira thought to herself that one day, her sincerity, kindness, and hard work would be
acknowledged by her classmates. However, if her classmates and the people around her were to
learn that she was a thief and had to be imprisoned, then she might as well just die.
She looked at Joy with a pleading gaze. "Aunt Joy, go ahead. I'm willing to do whatever you ask
me to do."
Joy was still smiling, and she smiled very relaxedly. After that, she turned her head back and
looked at Delmont. "Delmont, you saw it. We weren't the one to force her. she said it herself that
she is willing to do anything she's asked."
Delmont glared at Eira and came in front of her. He kicked Eira aggressively. "You're just as
cheap as your mother! B*tch!"
Eira was speechless. Was he saying that she would be cheap if she were to be a dog to Brooke
for her to play with in the future? It did not matter. She did not care about that, what she cared
about was in the future, whether she could take care of her mother, whether she could still go to
school, whether she would not be imprisoned, and whether others could not find out that she
was a thief.
Eira called out miserably. "Dad, I am willing to..."
"Good!" The one who answered Eira was Joy.
Joy personally pulled Eira up and dust off all the dirt on her. She pulled Eira to sit on the platform
before whispering something into Eira's ear. After Eira heard her, she was completely stunned.
Immediately after that, her face went completely red, so much so that even her neck was red.
"You also would feel shy?" Joy sneered.
Delmont saw that his daughter looked shocked. At that moment, Delmont's heart skipped a beat.
He felt that she was his child after all, so how could he and his wife, two grownups, put this child
in such a difficult position? However, he suddenly thought of Brooke, who was still in the hospital.
Although Brooke's life was no longer in danger and her injuries were not that serious, the doctor
said that the child had suffered incomparably great shock, while she was still unconscious,
Brooke kept crying. "No! My dad is not your dad! You are the devil! I have been so nice to you!
Yet, you stole motherâs thing! You are not my dad's daughter. My dad only has one daughter!"
