The news hit Jocelyn like a bolt out of the blue. She had received many blows today. Her head suddenly became woozy and she felt like fainting. "Dad, please calm down. Even though my mother did something wrong, you shouldn't abandon her. She's your wife. You have to find a way to save her." Leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, Jocelyn begged her father pitifully. Her mother was her source of support. She would be lost in this world without Fiona by her side.
The happenings of the past few days had made her cry several times. Since the Lind family went bankrupt, she had suffered a lot. She became the mistress of an old married man, and now, she had suffered a miscarriage.
Jocelyn didn't know who to blame for her suffering.
At this moment, Bernie's voice came again from the other end of the line. He sounded as if he had aged a lot within seconds. "By the way, why are you in the hospital?"
Sheer embarrassment made Jocelyn hesitate. After biting her lower lip for a long time, she held her face with one hand and replied sadly, "I had a miscarriage. It was Luke's baby but he didn't want it. He asked his driver to hit me. He intentionally made me miscarry the baby!"
Jocelyn cried and shouted to vent her anger.
Bernie instantly had a splitting headache.
This was the last thing he wanted to hear. He knew before that his daughter was Luke's mistress. He began to suspect her when she suddenly brought a large sum of money and moved them into a new villa. Jocelyn didn't have a job, so it was suspicious that she managed to get the money and live an extravagant life.
His suspicion had been confirmed when he overheard her talking to Luke on the phone.
The Turner family of Seacisco was well-known in the world. Bernie had also heard of it. It was then he confirmed that his daughter had a sugar daddy.
However, there was nothing he could do to put an end to the relationship. He couldn't because Jocelyn refused to listen to him; also, the Lind Group indeed needed funds. All his efforts to dissuade her from continuing her relationship with Luke failed. He was forced to stop pestering her afterward.
