Chapter 87: Painful Revelations 

(Ethan’s POV

Relief washed over me when Dr. Bennett confirmed that Grandmother wasn’t in serious 

danger. Her collapse had terrified me more than I cared to admit. Beside me, I noticed Olivia’s 

shoulders slump as tension drained from her body

The sudden release of pressure made her sway slightly. Without thinking, I reached out to 

steady her, my hand hovering near her elbow

She flinched away as if burned, her emerald eyes flashing with rejection. Don’t touch me.” 

Before I could respond, she rushed toward the gurney where the medical staff was wheeling 

Grandmother from the emergency room. The elderly woman looked frail against the white 

sheets, her usually commanding presence diminished by illness

Olivia reached Grandmother’s side, her steps hurried but careful. She gently took the 

Matriarch’s hand, whispering words I couldn’t hear. The tenderness in her gesture made my 

chest tighten with an emotion I couldn’t name

Dr. Fletcher approached me, his expression professional. We’re moving her to the private 

wing. You should prepare for a potentially lengthy recovery period.” 

I nodded, watching as they wheeled my grandmother away, Olivia walking alongside, never 

letting go of the elderly woman’s hand

For the first time in years, I felt completely powerless

Grandmother remained unconscious for a day and a night. I divided my time between her 

bedside and handling urgent pack matters, unable to focus fully on either

Dr. Bennett conducted regular examinations, his experienced hands carefully checking her 

vital signs. His face revealed nothing as he listened to her heart and checked her reflexes

What’s your assessment?I asked, unable to bear the silence any longer

He straightened, tucking his stethoscope into his pocket. Her condition is stable, but I cannot 

determine when she will awaken.” 

But she will recover?The question came from Olivia, who sat on the opposite side of the bed. She hadn’t left Grandmother’s side except for brief necessities

The shock to her system was significant,” Dr. Bennett explained. Her body needs time to heal 

naturally.” 

I clenched my jaw, frustration building. There must be something more we can do.” 

Her constitution is strong,he assured us, but at her age, we must be patient.” 

Patience had never been my strong suit, especially when it came to matters beyond my 

control

After another hour of silent vigil, I couldn’t stand the stillness of the room any longer. I need to check on some pack business. Call me immediately if there’s any change.” 

Olivia didn’t even look up as I left

Alone at Imperial Gardens, I retreated to my study. The emptiness of the house pressed in around me, a physical reminder of all I had lostor perhaps never truly had

I sat at my desk and accessed the cloud backup of the residence’s surveillance footage. With a few keystrokes, I extracted all clips related to Lily. My fingers hovered over the keyboard

suddenly hesitant

Did I have the right to these memories now, when I had ignored them in life

Pushing aside my doubts, I clicked on the first file. The screen filled with an image of Olivia, her belly swollen with pregnancy. She was sitting in the garden, reading aloud to her unborn 

child

My amber eyes grew troubled as I watched. I remembered that timethe period of Olivia’s pregnancy with Lily. I had been physically present but emotionally absent, providing financial support but little else

There had been misunderstandings between us five years ago. Misunderstandings that had driven a wedge between us just as we should have been celebrating new life

I recalled arranging the best hospital, the finest doctors, the most comprehensive postnatal care for Olivia. I had been the first to hold Lily after her birth, cradling her tiny form with awe

But my involvement had ended there. Preoccupied with pack business andother matters, I rarely returned to Imperial Gardens. I had been largely absent from Lily’s life from the 

beginning

A mix of emotions churned within me as I clicked on another video, this one from when Olivia returned to Imperial Gardens after her postbirth recovery period. The timestamp showed it 

was five years ago

I watched as Olivia paced the nursery, dark circles under her eyes as she soothed a colicky twomonthold Lily. Night after night, she went without sleep, tending to our daughter’s needs with unwavering devotion

A memory surfacedI had returned to Imperial Gardens once during that period after a business dinner. Olivia had greeted me with joy, her tired eyes lighting up at my arrival

But my focus had been elsewhere. I had swept her into my arms without even glancing at the baby, instructing Martha Wilson to take care of Lily. My message had been clear: Olivia was mine for the night

I had carried her into the master bedroom, locking the door and pulling her onto the bed with 

barely contained desire

The surveillance footage didn’t show what happened behind closed doors, but my memory filled in the blanks. I had been rough, demanding, releasing weeks of pentup frustration on her willing body

Midway through, I vaguely recalled a knocking at the door. The details were hazy now, lost in the fog of time and selective memory

Olivia, initially compliant despite my rough handling, had tried to pull away when Martha 

knocked. Caught in the moment, I had refused to let her go

Ethan, please,she had begged. It must be Lily crying. Martha can’t soothe her. Let me check 

on herI’ll come right back.” 

But I had been deaf to her pleas, unable to comprehend why Martha couldn’t handle a simple situation with a baby. I had silenced her protests with demanding kisses, lost in my own 

desires

Only late into the night had I finally released her, satisfied and exhausted. Now, watching the 

footage from the hallway camera, I saw what happened after I fell asleep

Lily stood at the master bedroom door, her tiny face red and swollen from crying, her voice 

hoarse from distress. Martha looked apologetic as she held the inconsolable infant

After I left the next morning, the cameras captured Oliviaexhausted and moving gingerly- going to comfort our daughter, singing softly until Lily finally calmed

I had always attributed Lily’s affection for me to our blood connection, assuming it was natural for a child to love her father. But the surveillance footage revealed a different truth

I watched in growing disbelief as Olivia shaped Lily’s perception of me. From the time Lily was

three months old and started recognizing faces, Olivia would hold her in my absence, showing 

her my picture

This is Daddy!she would say repeatedly, pointing to my image. Daddy loves you very 

much!” 

As Lily grew, Olivia continued to fill the void left by my absence. She never spoke ill of me

never let Lily see her disappointment or anger at my neglect

I watched Olivia’s tears of joy as Lily spoke her first word: Mama.Any mother would have 

been content with that achievement, but Olivia was determined that Lily would know her 

father too

She continued showing Lily my picture, teaching her to say Daddy!with tireless patience 

until Lily finally learned the word

Daddy loves Lily very much,” Olivia would explain gently, but Daddy is very busy, so he hasn’t 

come back to accompany Lily.” 

Lily, a blank slate eager to please, would echo her mother’s words: Daddy loves Lily! Lily loves 

Daddy!” 

My throat tightened as I watched Olivia buying gifts, clothes, and toys for Lily in my name

She would present them to our daughter, telling her they were from me

Lily’s delighted responses, hugging the gifts and sweetly saying, Love Daddy!pierced my 

heart like a silver blade

I hadn’t fulfilled even the most basic responsibilities as a father, yet Olivia had tirelessly 

maintained my image in Lily’s eyes. Because of her daily reinforcement, Lily held a positive 

image of me despite my absence

A particular memory surfacedone I had almost forgotten. Lily, having just learned to walk

had waited for me at the Stone Residence Entrance one evening when I returned unexpectedly

Her face had beamed as I arrived, her tiny legs carrying her toward me as fast as they could

She had hugged my leg, looking up at me with bright eyes that mirrored her mother’s

Daddy, hug,” she had said softly, her arms raised in expectation

That moment had softened something in me. From then on, I had started noticing Lily

acknowledging her presence when I visited Imperial Gardens

I had always thought that moment was coincidentalthat Lily happened to be there when I arrived. But the surveillance revealed the truth: she had waited at the door every day, filled

with anticipation, hoping I would return

+8 Points

This realization brought a wave of tenderness over me. I remembered beginning to return to Imperial Gardens not just for Olivia, but to spend time with Lily as well

This continued until Victoria returned with Emma. Their hardships abroad had fueled my 

resentment toward Olivia, rekindling old feelings and grievances

However, no longer indifferent to Lily, I had wanted her to get along with Emma. I envisioned them as playmates, perhaps even friends, creating a harmonious blended family

But their first meeting had ended in disaster. I watched the footage of that day with growing 

dread, knowing what was coming

The camera captured Lily and Emma by the Moonlit Reflection Pool. One moment they were 

standing together; the next, Emma was in the water, screaming

In my anger, I had punished Lily without question, making her stand in a corner while I attended to the distressed Emma. Emma, shaken by the incident, would only sleep in my arms, clinging to me for comfort

I didn’t even notice when Olivia took Lily home. Only later did Victoria inform me that they had 

left

What I hadn’t knownwhat the surveillance now revealedwas that Lily had developed a high fever that night. For three days and nights, she burned with illness while Olivia cared for her 

tirelessly

I watched Olivia’s exhausted form bent over Lily’s bed, applying cool compresses, administering medicine, whispering reassurances. Not once did she call me for help

When Lily finally broke the fever, she cried in Olivia’s arms. Mommy, I didn’t push Sister Emma. Sister Emma pushed me, and she fell into the pool herself.” 

Lily insisted repeatedly that she wasn’t responsible. Olivia reassured her, stroking her hair.

believe you, sweetheart. I know you wouldn’t do that.” 

But Lily continued to cry, heartbroken. “Why doesn’t Daddy believe me?” 

This question-Why doesn’t Daddy believe me?struck me deeply, echoing in my mind like 

an accusation
