Not only did such a miserable cry shock Phil and his daughter, but it even attracted the neighbors.
Vireo's mother cried incomparably miserably as she sat on the ground and slapped her legs. "Has it been easy for me to bring you up since you were a baby? I did not even have any breast milk, but I still let you chew on it, so much so that I was trembling in pain from being bitten by you. You're one without a conscience.
"I had raised you with such difficulty since you were a baby. When you had a fever at night, I was unable to sleep the whole night. I originally was a person without bags under my eyes. However, for the sake of raising you, the bags under my eyes had formed. Now that you've become a fully independent and capable adult, you want to cut connections with me?"
His mother was weeping. Vireo also did not feel good either. Which part of the kindness shown to him by the Payne family for raising him had he forgotten? How desperate was he for affection? If the Payne family was not so heartless, he would have given his everything to the family, even if that included his life. He liked that he could be a surgeon in the big city. However, if the Payne family would have reached out t o him with affection, it would not have mattered to him if he did not go.
Nobody knew that Vireo did not care about anything a t all. He just wanted affection from his family. He only wanted the family's affection. Was that wish of his too much? Who could give him the affection of a family?
Watching his mother cry, Vireo also had tears welled u p in his eyes. However, his expression was still very resolute. When Phil looked at Vireo in that state, he shook his head hard.
While shaking his head, he said to Mira, "Look at him. See for yourself. He is such a heartless man, who could even abandon his parents, and yet, you actually still like this man?"
Mira was dumbfounded as well. She did not dare to believe that the man she liked was actually so heartless.
"Doctor Payne, you..." At that moment, Mira was very disappointed.
Vireo raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter with m e? Do you still like me? Do you still want to marry me? It's not too late for you to go back on your decision now! It would already be too late for you to regret your decision when the day that I, an ungrateful jerk, a man married above my station, and a shameless thing, had stolen all of your family's properties!"
"You...would you steal my family's properties?" Mira absolutely would not believe that the doctor, who had bandaged her wounds, carefully and gently reminded her not to get it wet, not to have spicy foods, not to have any foods with added coloring, or she would have a scar, would be such a wicked and vicious person.
