You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 628

Even though she had trained her heart to become as strong and impenetrable as ice, Arissa still felt a sting in her chest at the thought.

"Regan, you were never there when I needed you. You just wanted to use me. Now that I no longer need you, stop trying to come at me with that fake smile. I'm not stupid. I only let you guys bully me because saw you guys as family, but now we're not related at all, so stop trying to guilt trip me with your so-called fatherly act. Even if you're shameless enough to do it, I replace it disgusting!"

She was ruthless and harsh with her words, leaving no room for Regan's dignity.

The patient's relatives walking by all stared at the two of them, their critical gaze piercing through Regan.

His expression changed slightly as he found it harder to hold back his anger.

"Issa, I know you're still angry at me for things I've done in the past. But think about it: your grandmother didn't like you, so if I treated you too well, she would hate you even more!"

Arissa wanted to roll her eyes. How dare he even come up with such an excuse? If he really wanted to treat me well, he could have done it secretly. But all he ever felt when he saw me was hatred and disgust!

She never knew what she had done wrong when she was younger. In fact, she could never understand why a father would hate his own daughter so much.

"You're all disgusting. Did you think everyone would be shameless as you? I already made it clear enough that I don't want anything to do with any of you. We're no longer related, so please never come and replace me ever again. If you do, I'll make sure that you regret that day for the rest of your lives," Arissa said with a stony gaze.

Regan's heart sunk to the bottom of his stomach at how much his daughter had changed.

"I'm your dad! How could you say such things? How dare you threaten your own father?" he yelled furiously.

She just looked at him with a smirk on her face. "Bet you can't hide it anymore, can you? Then don't try! I'd rather you yell at me than die from holding it back and then extorting me even after your death!" Regan's face was rapidly turning dark red.

"I know why you're here. You just want to get on Mr. Watts' good side, aren't you?" Arissa said, glaring at him coldly.

His eyes gleamed again at the sound of his main priority.

"Issa, don't mind my temper. You know how bad it can get. I really came here to see you today. We haven't met in so long that I was worried about you."

Arissa really couldn't handle how shameless Regan could be. Did my mom like this desperate, pathetic side of him?

If not for that, she really couldn't figure out why her mother would ever get together with a guy like that.

"Stop with the pretense. I might actually vomit if I see any more of that," Arissa said abruptly. "Stop thinking of ways to get lucky off me, by the way. If I get mad, believe it or not..."

She trailed off as she approached him and warned in a low voice, "I'll get Mr. Watts to teach you a lesson. If you're really so desperate, maybe you can try selling your daughter and wife off. That would be much quicker and more effective than wasting your time with me."

Regan's face was so red it was turning purple and he glared at her, so angrily that he couldn't speak.

Arissa scoffed and walked into the hospital.

"Arissa!" Regan yelled loudly after her. "How could you! I put aside my dignity to come and replace you, and now you're embarrassing me like this?"

Arissa looked down and smiled bitterly.

She had to treat these heartless people the same way for them to truly get a hint.

When she looked up at Regan again, her eyes were already as cold as before.

"Compared to you, I'm a saint. Before you tell me off, look in the mirror and see exactly what kind of person you are. Do you think you have the right to scold me?"

Regan almost jumped in shock at the sight of her complete and utter chilliness that was incredibly reminiscent of a person he knew.

She turned and walked away, heading to the bathroom to wash her face. She was hoping that the splashes of cold water would help to get rid of her gloomy heart, but she still felt her eyes beginning to moisten.

She continued to wash her face, not knowing if the water droplets streaming down her cheeks were from the tap or her own eyes.
