"Eva, come out." Alex hesitated for a long time, finally he said to Eva, who was sitting on the bedside.

Eva took a look at Alex, and turned her head to take another look at Paul, who was still in a coma. She stood up and walked outside with him.

Her dad, whom she had not seen for a long time, seemed to be getting older. Behind his back, Eva was a little sad. Her dad was forty years old when she was born and now he already was over sixty. His back was no longer straight.

They sat down in a plastic chair in the hallway.

"Dad, how are you doing?" Eva's eyes were so red that she could not tell it was because she was worried about Paul or concerned about her dad now.

"Not bad, but you, Eva, are you happy?" Alex's eyes showed a strong concern, and Eva could see from his face that he must have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Asked by her dad, Eva suddenly thought of all sorts of dissatisfaction this year. Under this stimulation, her tears finally succeeded in flowing down.

Alex sighed and reached out to pat gently on her back.

"Eva, I am sorry for you." There seemed to be all kinds of complicated emotion in his tone.

Hearing that, Eva looked up at his dad with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Alex took a look at Eva, then slowly said, "There is a thing hiding in my heart for seventeen years, today, I think I should tell you."

He paused and continued, "You should know that you have a sister, don't you?"

"Yes, but didn't she fall ill early and die?"

Alex shook his head and looked away from Eva, "Actually, she didn't die of illness."

It was the first time that Eva heard this important secret. He couldn't help wondering, "Didn't she die of illness? Then how did she die?"

Alex sighed again and said slowly, "Seventeen years ago, your sister, also my own daughter, was twenty years old. She fell in love, and her boyfriend was Paul's brother, Owen Bo."

"What?" Eva cried out in surprise. She did not think that such a strange thing had happened to her sister.

Alex looked at Eva and said, "What you don't know is that his family and our family were enemies for generations before that."

Eva was even more surprised. She had a vague feeling that something must have happened to her sister and Paul's brother.

"In my father's generation, the two families had a deep feud over business matters. Stephen and I grew up under the shadow of hatred from previous generations and naturally became very hostile enemies. But to our surprise, my daughter and his son fell in love."

"No matter how we said to your sister, she still loved Owen. I even locked up your sister, and Stephen beat his son brutally. Finally, they ran away from home. And we became anxious to look for them, and then we found them after three months."

"By that time, your sister was pregnant. I, on the other hand, made the most foolish and regrettable decision of my life. After I brought your sister back by force, I told her to have an abortion..."

"Then I locked her up again. A month later, Owen and your sister disappeared again. But this time, only a few days later, we received the news of their death. They both jumped off the mountain and killed themselves..."

Saying that, Alex lowered his head, with tears in his eyes......

And Eva, also had tears in her eyes...

After a while, Alex wiped away his tears and continued, "For the sake of the dignity of the two families, we kept this matter a secret and told you that your sister died of illness. Since that incident, we have made peace with Paul's family and never fought again."

"And at that time, you were only four years old, and Paul was six. In order to make up for our guilt, we made a ridiculous decision once again: we arranged a marriage for you. It was agreed that when you two were grown up, you should marry each other to console the spirits of your sister and Owen."

"But over the past ten years, I have gradually come to my mind. In fact, I was a little hesitant about this marriage. And Stephen also did not mention it to me. It was not until more than a year ago that Stephen approached me and asked me to fulfill my promise."

"When I saw Paul, who was a good-looking man, I agreed. What I didn't expect was that you had a boyfriend on the sly. However, in order to make up for the regret of that year, and Stephen was already very sick, I felt a little unbearable in my heart, so I forced you to separate from Wilson Li and marry Paul."

"But over the last few months, I've been getting more and more upset, and I finally realized my mistake again. I have no right to determine your happiness. Your life is your own and I can't interfere. I did it wrong again. Eva, I'm sorry..."

"I am really silly, in order to make up for my mistake, I repeat my mistake once again. But this time, the person I hurt is you. Eva, if you are willing to divorce, I will support you this time and let you pursue your own happiness. Even if no one want to marry you, I shouldn't force you to spend your life with someone you don't like. I wouldn't make mistake any more."

Hearing the cause and effect, Eva did not know how to answer. How could he know that she was in love with Paul now? Especially this time he was injured in order to save her, Eva finally realized that Paul was deeply in love with her, and she was the same.

Even if the marriage was an accident, now it was a beautiful development. If it was a mistake, let it go.

Eva looked at his guilty dad and said, "Dad, let the past pass. It is good that you are aware of your mistake now. I'm willing to forgive you. As for my marriage, the die is cast. Besides, Paul has been hurt so badly this time, and I am willing to accept him and this marriage."
