Kapitel 83: 83. Painful Decision

"Dad, you're not serious, are you?" Clara asked haltingly. "I am your daughter, dad! Your only daughter."

"Did you forget what you promised me?" Patrick snapped, piercing at her. "I let you pursue your dream—becoming a doctor—something that has nothing to do with the family business, on only one condition: you must marry Dave! Remember?"

"But—"

"No, buts!" Patrick yelled. "From the start, this marriage was never for love, if you feel you love Dave, that's just a bonus. I don't care about it!"

Patrick looked at Clara with a sharp gaze, making Clara paralyzed. Clara's mouth could only gape without arguing.

"Do you think that the world revolves around you?" Patrick snapped again. "Be a smart and useful woman. There are things far more important than just love … and even … fidelity. Everyone makes mistakes. Just forgive him!"
