Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death-Chapter 117: Feelings, Off the Table!

"Now you talk about blood ties?"

"When Tiana was desperate, where were your so-called blood ties?"

"You sacrificed your own daughter for that scheming woman, sending her to another man’s bed. Where were your blood ties then?"

"James Linden, when Tiana was on the brink of death, you ignored her. Did you ever consider she is your daughter?"

"Do you still have the nerve to ask why Tiana doesn’t acknowledge you?"

Although Gabriel Chaucer couldn’t see clearly, he knew there were two figures before him.

His anger grew with each word he spoke.

He almost grabbed the trash can next to him to throw at the shameless father and son.

"You two, do you still have any sense of shame?"

A few words rendered James Linden and Daniel Linden speechless.

No matter how angry they felt inside, there was no reason left to argue further.

Yes.

They were the ones who wronged Tiana first.

The suffering and pain that Tiana had already let go of.

But every time she saw those who had hurt her, the wounds were painfully reopened.

She concealed her pain and coldly looked at the Linden father and son, and said:

"All I know is, when I was desperate, it was Mr. Chaucer and Mrs. Armstrong who took in Daisy and me."

"They gave me a home."

"From now on, they are my real family."

"President Linden, Mr. Linden, have you received the court summons?"

"The only thing we have to discuss is money."

"I want back what’s rightfully mine, what my mother left for me."

"Other than that, there’s nothing to talk about."

After saying that, she took Gabriel Chaucer’s arm, and her cold face instantly softened into patience and a smile.

"Dad, your eyes can’t be delayed. I’ll take you to see the doctor."

From now on, she would only show filial respect to Gabriel Chaucer and Catherine Armstrong.

As for James Linden, after turning away with Gabriel Chaucer in tow, she left him behind without a glance back.

She would never look back again.

James Linden, in his wheelchair, watched as his biological daughter walked further and further away from him.

The father-daughter relationship between them was like the widening distance, growing further, unreachable.

Yet all he could do was sit helplessly in his wheelchair.

Unable to do anything.

The pain in his chest felt like a knife stabbing.

Daniel Linden knew his father was upset and crouched in front of the wheelchair to reassure him:

"Dad, Tiana is just angry right now. She is still your biological daughter."

"I’ll try to persuade her later. She will definitely acknowledge you again as her father."

James Linden responded painfully, "Gabriel Chaucer is right. What face do I have left to question Tiana?"

It was he who personally pushed his biological daughter into the abyss.

He sat in the wheelchair, starting to reflect on himself.

"Daniel, find out what illness Gabriel Chaucer has. Later, sincerely visit him and thank him on my behalf."

Tiana was right.

When she was desperate, it was Leo Sutton and Gabriel and Catherine Chaucer who took her in.

Thankfully, they took in Tiana and Daisy.

He should thank them.

Daniel Linden stood up and said, "Dad, Gabriel and Catherine lost their daughter. After Kiera died in childbirth, she left two daughters behind. They are afraid of having no one to care for them, so they made Tiana their daughter."

James Linden scolded, "Nonsense! Now Tiana only regards them as family. If you oppose them, will Tiana ever forgive us again?"

Daniel Linden suddenly understood, "Right, right, right, we can’t do anything to upset Tiana anymore. I’ll immediately, sincerely, go visit Uncle Chaucer."

The father and son returned to the hospital room in low spirits.

Inside the hospital room, Vivian Linden was restless.

Seeing the father and son return, she quickly got up to greet them.

James Linden’s face immediately fell.

"Why are you here? Didn’t I say you’re not welcome here?"

Vivian Linden said softly, "Dad, I made some soup for you."

The soup was knocked over by James Linden, "I don’t dare to drink it; I fear you might poison it."

The soup spilled all over the floor.

Vivian Linden quickly stepped back, "Dad!"

James Linden rebuked, "Don’t call me Dad. I’m not your father."

Crying, Vivian Linden, feeling wronged and in pain, said:

"Dad, I’m innocent too. I just found out a few days ago that Sharon Sullivan is not my biological mother."

"It was only because she knew you liked daughters that she kidnapped me to be your daughter, to get close to you, to take revenge on you."

"I’m really pitiful too. I have no relatives. Dad, if you don’t want me, I’ll truly be alone too."

Cautiously, she moved closer, crouching in front of James Linden’s wheelchair, trying to hold his hand, "Dad..."

The next second, she was pushed away forcefully by James Linden.

"Dad, whether you acknowledge me or not, there’s something I must tell you."

"Thirty-three years ago, you drove a car that killed a little boy over a year old. Do you remember this incident?"

"That boy was actually Sharon Sullivan’s only son."

Daniel Linden had mentioned this to James Linden a couple of days ago.

Only then did James Linden realize Sharon Sullivan approached him to avenge her son.

His expression turned serious.

Vivian Linden continued, "Dad, I advised her to let go of her hatred and stop doing bad things. But she said she wants the Linden family to die. You have to investigate where her husband is."

Sharon Sullivan was jailed.

But her husband never showed up.

"Dad, she wants your family to accompany her son in death."

"You must be careful."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Linden father and son suddenly became cautious.

Thinking of Vivian Linden’s years of deceit, Daniel Linden said coldly, "We’ll investigate this ourselves; you needn’t worry."

Vivian Linden cried, "Brother, I’m not as bad as you think. If I were truly wicked, when Sixth Young Master Chaucer had someone throw Daisy into the river, I wouldn’t have saved her and sent her back to the city village. Please give me another chance. Don’t kick me out of the family. Let me make it up to you."

Daniel Linden knew a bit about Daisy’s mysterious disappearance last time.

He said suspiciously, "You were the one who fished Daisy out of the river?"

Vivian Linden swore to the heavens, "If there’s even one false word, may I be hit by a car."

Even so, James Linden still resented Vivian Linden’s deceit.

He loved her more than Tiana.

In the end, she wasn’t his biological daughter.

James Linden said with a grim expression, "Whether you get hit by a car isn’t my concern. But I give you two days to leave the Linden family."

Vivian Linden, heartbroken, left the hospital.

At the hospital entrance, she saw Aiden Grant’s Hongqi sedan.

She followed to the parking lot, and when Aiden Grant got out of the car, she rushed to him.

"Aiden, could you lend me some money? I’m now penniless; all my bank cards are frozen. I’ve reached a dead end."

For years, every penny she and Sharon Sullivan spent, half belonged to Wanda Townsend.

As Wanda’s biological daughter, Tiana filed a lawsuit in court.

Plus, with Leo Sutton, the great lawyer, helping Tiana, 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

all her bank cards were frozen.

The Linden family disowned her, and she truly had no way out.

Grabbing Aiden’s arm, she pleaded.

Aiden Grant coldly pushed her away.

"Vivian Linden, I won’t pity you anymore."

Indeed, Vivian Linden was right; it was his distrust of Tiana that led to their separation.

But if Vivian Linden hadn’t sabotaged, how could he have lost Tiana, his biological daughter?

He wished he could make her disappear, "Get out!"

"Aiden, even if you hate me, could you consider that I did save Daisy and lend me some money?"
