Chapter 1367

Adam pretended not to have heard what Melinda said. He bent down to hug Lilin.

“Come, Lilin. Let me teach you how to fish.”

Lilin hugged her teddy bear tighter to her chest. She puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away.

“Hmph! I don’t want to play with Daddy!”

Seeing this, Adam got down to her eye level and playfully muttered, “Why don’t you want to play with

me, Lilin? Did I do anything to make you angry?”

“Hmph! You’re going to hurt innocent people again. I don’t like it when Daddy hurts innocent people!”

Lilin was also the apple of Adam’s eye as she was born late in his years. He spoiled both of his

daughters very much and tried his best to make sure he did not show any favoritism toward one or the

other.

However, Sophia refused to accept Melinda as her stepmother and Lilin as her half-sister. She would

often tell other people that she was an only child. Adam did not correct her because he felt like he

owed her.

Fortunately for him, Melinda decided to let Sophia’s attitude slide. What she really cared about was

how Adam treated her and Lilin.

Adam picked up Lilin and said to her in a sing-song voice, “You’ve misunderstood Daddy again, Lilin.

I’m not hurting innocent people. I’m getting rid of a bad person who’s hurting your sister.”

Lilin never liked Sophia, so she did not particularly care that she was being bullied by someone. Thus,

she simply pouted and rested her face against Adam’s chest.

At the mention of looking into someone, Melinda remembered something. “By the way, Brian. Have you

found the girl who donated her blood to me last time?”

Adam patted Lilin dotingly on the back as he answered, “Not yet. All the hospital records and

surveillance footage then had been wiped out, so we don’t have a lead to go on with. It’s strange,

frankly. I mean, donating blood is a good thing, yet that girl is cautious enough to deliberately wipe out

all traces of what happened.”

Melinda was a little disappointed to hear that. “Maybe she doesn’t want us to make a fuss about it.

Sigh! I heard from the nurse that the girl was pregnant when she donated the blood to me and that she

was the one who found the other blood donor too. I’m really worried that her health would be

compromised after donating blood to me. I can’t help but wonder whether she and her baby are doing

okay right now.”

“Don’t worry, Mel. No deed goes unrewarded. I’m sure she’ll definitely be fine,” comforted Adam. “I’ll

ask my men to continue looking for her; I need to thank her too! Without her giving you her blood in the

nick of time, I would’ve lived with the guilt of indirectly causing your death. I was the one who made you

so mad that you wanted to run away from home with Lilin.”

Melinda rolled her eyes at him. “Oh, cut the nonsense. It’s getting late. What do you want to have for

dinner tonight? Let’s have a good reunion dinner now that Sophia is back.”

…

Meanwhile, back at the Riveras’ mansion, Corinne put down her phone and continued eating her

breakfast after she hung up on Sophia.

Unfortunately, Lucas happened to overhear her conversation with Sophia. Knowing who Sophia’s

father was, he asked worriedly, “Corinne, what did Sophia say to you just now?”

“Nothing of importance. She said that she’s going to steal Jeremy away from me,” said Corinne

nonchalantly.

Lucas frowned. “Just ignore her the next time she calls you, or tell her to find me if she has anything to

say to you.”
