Chaplain!

Mary Grimm, who thought that her husband had returned, didn't think that she would see the prick who broke her daughter's heart when she opened the door.

She angrily slammed the door in his face!

"Mother!"

Oliver Walker quickly stopped the door with his hands and said, "I came here to visit you..."

No matter how his marriage with Emilia turned out, Mary Grimm had once saved his life.

Plus, he was Olivia's father.

Mary Grimm's eyes were filled with hatred as she said in a low voice, "I don't care about what you want, but remember, you are not allowed to step foot into this house ever!"

"If Emilia knows that you've been here, I will kill you even if I have to sacrifice my own life!"

Oliver Walker frowned and said, "Mother, I just want to know the truth."

"I think that there's some misunderstanding here..."

Mary Grimm was determined. "Enough! There is no misunderstanding here!"

"This is a house that we rented. Are you happy now?!

"Our house…..could not afford to feed another useless man like you!"Foll𝑜w current novℯls on nov𝒆lb((in).(com)

From her point of view, Oliver Walker must have lost everything out there, and that was why he had returned with the hope that they could feed him.

But with their current situation, how would it be possible for them to take him in?

No matter how tough it was, they still suffered hard trying to raise Olivia. It was impossible for him to just return and take over the role of her father!

"Mother, I came back to repay your kindness. Please! Give me a chance!"

Oliver Walker sounded sincere. No matter how his mother-in-law was speaking to him, he felt like he deserved it.

Even if she wanted to hit him, he would never fight back.

This was something that he owed them!

He had to repay it!

"Repay my kindness?

"I don't want it!"

Mary Grimm spoke in a broken tone, "The three things that I regret the most were saving you, giving my daughter to you, and allowing her to give birth to Olivia!

"All of them are related to you!"

Slam!

As soon as she was done, she closed the door.

To be honest, the only reason why she didn't like Olivia was because of Oliver Walker.

She was trying her best to calm herself down before returning to the room.

Emilia looked disappointed as she asked, "It's dad, isn't it? He didn't get any money?"

But soon, her expression returned to normal.

Her father had contributed nothing to the family. How different was he from Oliver Walker?!

This was just something she had expected!

"En. I kicked him out!"

Mary Grimm did not tell the truth and decided to lie because she was worried that it would hurt her precious daughter.

Emilia took a deep breath. She was tired, and she had a feeling that she couldn't do it any longer.

She just didn't know when she would collapse.

But, as long as she wasn't dead yet, she would still hold onto it for Olivia.

As for Oliver Walker, he couldn't calm himself. He thought about it and felt that something went wrong. He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number. He spoke in a deep voice, "Look it up! I want to know who received the money that I have been giving every month!"

At this very moment, he was very sure that Emilia and Mary did not get that money.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that they were in such a desperate state where they couldn't even afford Olivia's treatment.

Plus, they didn't have to stay at such a humble place! Something must have gone wrong!

They better not let him find out who it was. Otherwise, he would be crueler than anyone else!

Throughout the night, Oliver Walker did not go anywhere else. Instead, he stayed by the little place where they lived and watched Mary Grimm send Olivia to school the next day.

He had not forgotten the promise that he made to his daughter. He swore that his daughter would experience fatherly love.

Her father was a true hero and she didn't need to hide it!

She should be respected instead of despised.

At the Riverdale Nursery School, Oliver Walker was dressed in a suit, and in his pocket were all of the medals that he received when he was still a general soldier.

He smiled as he entered the school.

This might be the best chance for him to meet Olivia.

The third building, first class, at the entrance of the classroom.

A young female teacher in her twenties, dressed in simple clothes, frowned as she asked, "Olivia, will any of your family members be coming soon?"

Her name was Lily Jones, Olivia Walker's homeroom teacher.

She knew a lot about Olivia's family.

She also knew that for a child like her, it would be cruel for her to grow up in such an environment.

But, she was only an ordinary teacher, and there was nothing she could do to help.

"My grandma has to sweep the roads and mummy has been working all night. She has to clean the house as well, so she won't be able to make it."

Olivia looked like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and bit her lips.

Although the uncle from yesterday had already promised her that he would pretend to be her father today…..

She still wasn't sure if that uncle would be coming today.

She secretly lifted up her head and scanned the empty stairs. There was a hint of hope in her eyes, but soon, it turned dim.

That man might not come!

This was because the parent-teacher meeting was about to start soon!

Lily Jones took a deep breath. She patted Olivia's head and said sympathetically, "Although your mummy and grandma aren't here, you still have to be strong, alright?

"No matter what the other kids are saying, you are still the best."

Olivia faked a smile and answered, "En. I know, Teacher Lily!"

Other than her mother, Teacher Lily was the person who treated her the best in this world.

This was why she had to work hard. She wanted to make sure that she doesn't disappoint those few who believed in her.

After a brief session, she found some courage and walked into the classroom.

As soon as she entered the room, there were lots of surprised looks that turned toward her.

They looked at her as if she was a monster.

"See! As expected, her parents aren't here!"

"How would her parents be able to make it?"

"Her grandpa is a gambling addict. Her father is missing. Her grandma is busy sweeping the streets, and her mother is busy making herself look pretty!"

"They use to say that with how the parents behaved, their children would be the same as well. I'm sure that their child isn't a good one too."

"..."

Although they were saying it in a soft voice, there was a large number of them whispering it, which made it sound much louder.

Olivia Walker bit her lips and walked with her head hung low. She had been used to hearing all these rumors.

Due to her family condition, most parents would stop their children from playing with her. This was why she always ended up alone with no friends.

She….really wanted others to acknowledge her.

She wanted to be protected by her father, like the other children, so that she won't be insulted!

But, as soon as she got to her seat, the parents around her had disdainful expressions on their faces and quickly pulled away their children. In the end, she was left all alone.

Lily Jones, who saw this from the podium, felt angry and told the parents, "Dear parents, Olivia is a wonderful little girl, and she has been diagnosed with leukemia. It isn't a transmissible disease.

"Our children may not know manners, but as adults, shouldn't we show her a little more love?"

These righteous words from Teacher Lily were not accepted by all and the parents still had the same disdainful look on their faces.

They were hiding away from Olivia with their children as if she had the plague.

Olivia kept her head down and played with her fingers. She felt a sour feeling on her nose and there were droplets of tears, the size of a bean, that fell onto the table.

If she had a father, would this still be the same?

'Daddy, where are you?'

'I miss you...'
