Adam did not get angry at Melinda. He did, however, get angry at Lilin. "How dare you talk to me like that! Who are you calling a stinky old man?!" he shouted sternly. Lilin immediately hid behind Melinda and stuck out her tongue at him. "You''re the stinky old man! Bleh, bleh, bleh. You''re not only stinky but a fool as well!" "Why you!" Adam was livid.


    Melinda put her hand on Lilin to shield her from Adam. "That''s enough. She''s my daughter, so it''s up to me to discipline her. You should head back to keep Sophiapany."


    Adam reached out to grab her hand. "Mel, let''s all go back together."


    Melinda moved her hand away. "Like I said, I''ll consider going back if you agree to the condition just now."


    "No! I don''t understand why you''ll go to this length to help out a stranger! Do you not want to see Sophia happy?" asked Adam frustratedly.


    Melinda frowned. "Happy? Do you really think Sophia has been happy over the years? She''s only lying to herself! Zachary doesn''t love her at all, so what''s the use of her keeping him by her side? Plus, Zachary''s real wife isn''t a stranger!"


    Adam did not dare toment on Sophia''s happiness over the years, but the same could not be said about what Melinda said about Corinne not being a stranger.


    "How is his real wife not a stranger? She doesn''t have anything to do with us, so why are you helping her?!"


    Melinda frowned deeply. "Who said his real wife doesn''t have anything to do with us? Do you remember four years ago when I left home with Lilin after we had a big fight, and we got into a car ident where I needed an urgent blood transfusion? The only reason I was saved was because a kind girl, who despite being pregnant, still donated her blood to me! And let me tell you something: that girl is none other than Zachary''s real wife, Corinne Carew! I owe her for saving my life, so I''ll never continue to help you cover up Sophia''s crime!"


    "What?! She was the one who saved you?" eximed Adam in shock.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    "Yes, Miss Corinne was the one who saved Mom! The hospital was running low on donated blood then, and Mom was that close to dying. It was only because she donated her blood in time that Mom was able to be here with us now. She even got her friends to donate their blood, too! Daddy, we would''ve lost Mom if Corinne didn''t happen to be at the hospital at that time. Haven''t you always taught me to repay other people''s kindness? Well, not only did we not repay Miss Corinne''s kindness, but we broke up her family!" said Lilin vehemently.


    Adam was too shocked to say anything for a long time. He could not believe there would actually be such a coincidence in this world.


    Melinda sighed sadly. "Brian, I know you still love me, but we''vee to an impasse. I can''t see from Sophia''s point of view, and you can''t see from mine, too. So I think we should just get a divorce."
