Chapter 765: UNGRATEFUL CHILDMisha didn't understand what kind of trouble Kia might be going through at a time like this, especially in a place with lots of people like this, but seeing from how Mika looked worried and asked himself to come to her mother, of course Misha immediately rushed over to where Kia was.
Before he even got close to Kia, he could hear the ongoing scuffle, because Alia's voice was quite loud and Misha realized immediately what was wrong with Kia.
"What is this?" Misha asked in a deep voice. He carried Mika in one hand and pulled Kia to his side with the other, pulling her behind his body.
"Mr. Tordoff, what are you doing here?" asked Alia in confusion. She looked at Kia and Misha alternately, a faint crease between her eyebrows could be seen.
"Let's get out of here," Kia said hastily. She didn't want to be in this place any longer. She didn't want to be near Alia or the rest of her family.
Just seeing Alia today was already something that overwhelmed her. Kia felt really bad for not liking her sister, even though it wasn't her fault. She felt that she was the worst person in the world because she was angry with her sick sister.
But, it seemed that luck was not on Kia's side, because not long after, from behind Kia, her father came because he couldn't find his youngest daughter where he had left her.
Instantly, Kia could feel her blood run cold as her heart seemed to stop beating, when her father came up to Alia from behind.
Of course Lyle didn't realize it was Kia because she had her back to him.
"What happened?" asked Lyle who went straight to Alia. The girl looked breathless, with her face red because she had shouted at Kia and tried to stop her older sister from leaving, even though her physical condition was not good.
Since helping her mother to look for photos in the store room, her condition had not been good. She often felt short of breath, but because she didn't want to worry about the people around her, she hid this fact, since she could still hold it in.
"Sis Kia," said Alia with a red face, raising her hand, pointing at Kia.
On the other hand, Kia felt like someone had splashed her with a bucket of cold water as soon as she saw her father and the first thing that came to mind was; immediately leave that place.
Instinctively, Kia immediately took Mika from Misha's arms and was about to leave the place, but her father had already seen her and it was not possible for her to leave in peace.
"Kia," Lyle said with disbelief in his eyes when he saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen in four years. "Is it really you?"
At first, Lyle thought that Alia got into a ruckus with other customers because she was being bullied and was ready to defend his daughter, because there was no way his cute youngest daughter would make a fuss first.
However, when he saw who had been arguing with Alia, he felt that he had just been struck by a bolt of lightning. How could a coincidence like this happen?
"Kia?" The name just came out of Lyle's lips. A name that had not been mentioned in their family for years and now his daughter was in front of him.
On the other hand, Kia felt her body tremble when she heard her father's voice. The anger she had been suppressing for so long burst out, but instead of yelling in anger or cursing, Kia became colder in response to the situation.
"Kia, it is you, right?" said Lyle, without realizing it he took one step closer to Kia, but then he stopped when he realized the girl in Kia's arms. In fact, until now he had not been aware of Mika's existence. "That… is that your daughter?" he asked, stuttering.
Meanwhile, Kia felt that she couldn't avoid this, so she pressed Mika's face against her shoulder, so her father couldn't see her daughter's face. She didn't want anyone else to see Mika's face.
"Wait a minute," Lyle said in a hurry when he saw Kia was about to leave again after he threw her a glare. "Where are you going?"
At this point, neither of them cared about the questioning gazes they were drawing from the customers around them and it seemed they didn't even notice that they were in a public place.
"That's none of your business," Kia said coldly. The anger she had been trying to contain burst out into something fierce and this surprised Lyle enough as it was unusual for Kia to speak this sharply.
Since Lyle didn't know how to digest this emotion, he was taken aback and didn't know what to say, so he responded to Kia's reaction with the authority of a father, something he always did to Kia.
"How can you talk like that to your father!?" Lyle exclaimed, but even as he shouted at Kia, he felt that this was the wrong response, but he couldn't stop.
There were many ways for people to respond to something that took them by surprise, especially when it was mixed with guilt, but Lyle chose to be angry, because it was so much easier.
"You should greet your father and sister!" cried Lyle. He gripped her hand tightly enough to make her wince.
"Father and sister?" Kia asked fiercely. "Wasn't it you yourself who said that I should forget I had a family four years ago?"
The sentence sounded very cold and made Lyle flinch. Right. He had said that to Kia four years ago because he was so mad at her. How could she have a child out of wedlock and tarnish the family name?
She shouldn't have done that when her life was so comfortable and secure.
What did she lack? She got a decent room, a decent education and an allowance that didn't require her to work part time like the others. She didn't lack anything, but she did the most indecent things out there.
Especially considering that Kia was physically fit, unlike Alia who spent most of her time in and out of the hospital. Why couldn't she be grateful for all of that and still cause trouble?
Lyle couldn't understand Kia's way of thinking at all and he couldn't understand why she was being so cold to himself after so many years of not seeing each other.
Wasn't this her chance to apologize and beg to be accepted back into the family? Especially now that she had a child, who was the first grandchild in their family.
Grandchild…
The word sounded foreign to Lyle's ears, but he didn't hate it either. It just felt weird, since he never acknowledged the child...
"How can you say such a thing?!" Lyle exclaimed in response to Kia's reply. "Is that your daughter? Now that you have a kid, you'll know what it's like to be a parent! You should understand the attitude we took four years ago and you should introspect yourself."
But, after saying that, Lyle was surprised by how Kia looked at him so cynically, as if she was insulting him by the way she looked at him.
"Yeah, I'm a mother now," Kia said slowly, so Lyle could hear every word she said very well. "That's why I know that I won't leave my daughter or kick her out when she needs my support the most, because that's not the kind of parent I am. I don't want to be that kind of parent."
Somehow Lyle felt his tongue go numb when he heard that. He had to retort her claims and say how lucky she was to have a healthy body and a decent place to live.
Kia didn't lack for anything as long as she lived in their family! But, why did she act like she was the most tormented child? Especially after the despicable deeds she had done.
However, Lyle couldn't find the right words to reply to those words. Deep in his heart, he realized that what Kia said was true and what he had done and said four years ago was too much, but his ego prevented him from admitting it.
Lyle was the head of the family, so his words should be taken seriously, not the other way around.
"You should be grateful for having a healthy body and a family that cares for you, but don't you see what you've done now? You tarnished the good name of the family with your actions and gave birth to that illegitimate child!"
Not. That wasn't what Lyle wanted to say, he didn't want to say it. The words left his mouth just like that because he was angry and wanted to cover up his guilt.
"Watch your words," Misha said coldly. He hadn't said anything since earlier because he thought Kia wanted to say what she had been holding back for so long.
Kia was the kind of person who would suppress what she felt and act like she didn't care and that was way more terrifying than her venting her rage. Therefore, Misha let the conflict play out earlier and only paid attention to the two of them.
But, when he heard how Lyle insulted his daughter, of course that was his business now.
"You… Mr. Tordoff?" said Lyle in confusion when he saw Misha there.
