At that time, Gabriel was already crying with a big blow to Ricardo, so Diego couldn't be a bad father to her.

His choice was not to raise goals with his stepdaughter in addition to scolding what had already been ended, but to fire an employee who could not properly manage his wife's belongings.

In addition, he expelled an employee from the mansion, who had seen what Gabriel had done and had done nothing until these four months.

"And none of the people in this house have ever apologized to me."

Ricardo groaned that he had stopped.

It was just as Hilise said.

At that time, Ricardo did not apologize for misunderstanding and hitting Hilise.

He felt uncomfortable to see her crying while wrapping her red swollen cheeks, so he turned away from her.

He never thought about what Hilise's heart was left behind at that time.

She has been a matter of course to him so far.

Hilise was a younger sister that Ricardo could never embrace.

Ever since her mother died because of her.

"It wasn't the only one that happened so far."

But from a while ago, he was somewhat weird.

Without knowing why, it was difficult for Ricardo to look straight into Hilise' eyes right now.

After working in the garden, when I faced Hilise, it seemed that something of her that kept gnawing was scraping his inside like a needle.

In front of those transparent and insensitive eyes, I felt as if my insides were getting crushed.

"Is it last year at this point? Even when I almost died of pneumonia, you didn't even know I was sick."

Another day in the past, Hilise, who came out of the room after a long absence, ran into Ricardo in the hallway.

It was late in the evening, and Ricardo had just returned home after going out.

He stopped her and said, glanced at Hilise with her cold eyes.

"Isn't it happening at this time? No matter how much you do, you're only at home, but there's a degree of laziness. A maid might be more useful than you."

If I had looked at it with a little more interest, I would have known that her appearance had a disease.

However, Ricardo realized that she was sick only after the employee who was passing by at that time told him not to talk to her for a long time because he might have gotten sick from Hilise.

"Up to now, my father and you have always been either not interested in me or being angry with me in contempt."

Hilise shook Ricardo that way, and she herself said without any emotional disturbance.

That calm voice made Ricardo's eyes draw a shallow stream of water.

"But now you are worried about me?"

Hilise smiled gently at Ricardo for the first time.

In front of him, she showed gentleness, drawing a gentle curve around her mouth, which was always stiff or coldly frozen.

Instantly Ricardo felt her heart pounding at the unfamiliarity of her.

"Ricardo. That's deception."

But the words flowing from her lips that followed were sharper than ever before, stuck in Ricardo's heart.

"And hypocrisy."
