Chapter 111 Leo Begged for Dora and Anna

"What do you mean? Are you going to push them so far that they die?" Leo was full of rage.

"If I can, I will," Kate told Leo, "After Anna found that I might be having a miscarriage, she didn't take me to the hospital immediately; instead, she hit me again. I forgave her, but she did not give up, she just spread rumors about me. And as for her fake pregnancy, that is none of my business."

Kate never spoke to her father with frustration, but she could not hold it in any longer. She added, "She has never treated me like a sister. Why should I forgive her again?"

Leo felt both angry and embarrassed after hearing how Kate felt. He knew that she and Anna had gotten along well before Joseph came around. Their relationship worsened and that being sisters was not enough to keep them close. Leo had wanted to talk to Kate about her relationship with Anna, but Dora threatened him each time he mentioned it.

Lisa watched the situation unfold. She had been worried that Kate would be bullied, but after Kate stood up to her father, Lisa realized there was no need to be worried. She helped Daisy over to the sofa and, in a whisper, asked where the first aid kit was.

Leo did not say anything more, but as Kate was tending to Daisy's wounds, he fell from his wheelchair and started crawling toward Kate.

Kate immediately went to help him. She squatted down, but Leo grabbed her arm, "Kate, I have never asked anything of you. Please, forgive them this time. Don't force them to leave. I can promise you they will not come near this house or White Group."

"What are you doing? Get up!" When she was young, she thought her father a powerful man and would never beg for anything. But, he was on his knees, begging for her to be kind to Dora and Anna.

"You care about Anna because she is your daughter. But I'm also your daughter. Do you know how much I have suffered over the years?"

"Kate, you have always been a good daughter to me. I know I did not care enough about you in the last few years. You are my daughter, and you should know how dearly I love my daughter, even if she made a terrible mistake or committed a crime. You know, I feel guilty whenever I see you because I can't help but think of your mother…"

When speaking of Flora, Kate recalled many unhappy memories and how her father destroyed her mother. She pulled her arm away and coldly said, "If you really care about them so much, you can leave with them. I think it would be a great comfort to them."

Leo flew into a rage, he reached out to grab Kate's arm again, but she moved. He shouted, "You really want to force me out too?"

Kate was thankful that she did not have a close relationship with her father, or else she might have let Dora and Anna get away with their crimes for his sake. Joseph, not she decided to have them leave Aubi City, and she was not going to ask him to change his mind.

Leo felt ashamed. He continued to beg, "Kate, it's my fault. As long as you can forgive Anna, I can make up for the mistakes and be a better father."

"Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Most men want to be a good father, there is no premise behind it, but you said you would be a better father if I forgive Anna. I don't think I need you to be a good father. I don't need your charitable love and care!" Kate sighed, "Dad, I respect you because you lost your legs because of me. Otherwise, I would not…"

Kate choked back her tears. Her father's words hurt her, and she did not want to be kind to him. They were family, but he had always talked to her as if it was a business transaction. Leo didn't understand that even if he begged her, she would not let Dora and Anna stay.

"Since you are so determined, then just forget my begging today," He said and climbed back into his wheelchair to leave.

"Wait!" Kate called him.

Leo thought things would be different, so he said in a joyful tone, "Did you change your mind?"

Lisa thought Kate was soft-hearted and was about to stop her. But she heard, "You beat Daisy. You must apologize to her!"

Leo contested immediately, "She disobeyed me first. I have the right to teach her a lesson as her adopted father."

"Disobey?" Kate did not believe him and demanded, "Apologies to her now!"

"Impossible. I'm her boss!" Leo insisted.

Daisy interrupted, "Kate, it wasn't your father's fault. I spoke too bluntly and irritated him."

Then Daisy apologized to Leo, "Sorry, my words hurt you. I did not mean it. Please don't believe what I said."

Daisy thought Leo would calm down a little, but he became angrier, "Don't act innocent. I know exactly what you meant!"

"I know you are unhappy with me. However, I am not the person you think; I appreciate you adopting me, and I regard you as my father. I respect you as much as my own father and Kate as my sister. I hope you won't twist my words!" Daisy replied.

Seeing that Daisy was near tears because of Leo, Kate jumped in to defend her, "I know you are feeling upset right now and think that everyone here is your enemy. But, I want you to understand that I won't let Dora and Anna have the chance to hurt me or those I care about again!"

Leo kept silent for a while, staring at Kate the entire time before he rolled his wheelchair out of the room.

Kate realized that her words were harsh, but she had no other choice. If she didn't stand up to her father, he would continue to beg, and she did not want that.
