Capítulo 1340: The Prodigals’ Return (Part 4)

"Becoming a father was the last nail in the coffin of the old me." Orpal sighed deeply. "It allowed me to walk a mile in your shoes, Mom. I now understand that no parent would allow anyone to do on their children what I did to Tista and Lith.

"I've no excuses for what I did, Dad. I can only admit my faults and pray for your forgiveness."

"Start praying, then." Tista tapped her foot in annoyance at those cheesy words.

"I beg your pardon?" Orpal's voice was meek, but a spark of fury lit his eyes at such blatant disrespect.

"I pity your child, not you." Tista replied. "I heard a lot of pretty words, but saw no sincerity behind them."

"Tista! How can you say that?" Rena said as the idea of reconnecting with her twin and meeting her sister-in-law filled her heart with hope.
