Renee hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
The voice on the other end introduced themselves directly, “Is this Renee Thompson? This is Centrolis Suburban
Prison.”
Renee’s heart raced, and her legs suddenly felt weak.
“We need to confirm with you.” The voice continued. “Your father is Melvin Thompson, is that correct?”
“Yes…”
“Melvin Thompson’s execution date is the 14th of this month.”
Renee took a sharp breath, staggering and leaning against a nearby tree.
“Ms. Renee Thompson, are you there?”
Renee took deep breaths, trying to remain calm. “Yes, I’m listening…”
“As per usual practice, a death row inmate is allowed to meet with family members before the execution. Melvin

It was as if millions of insects were buzzing loudly in Renee’s ears. She hung up and started running along the
street, hoping she could escape the mockery of fate by doing so.
However…
Renee ran all the way to the seaside, her mind filled with scenes of Melvin using her mother to blackmail her,
forcing her to impersonate Pamela to claim the Thompsons’ wealth.
Melvin would beat, curse, humiliate, and threaten her when she refused to do those immoral things.
That was not her father—he was a demon.
Renee covered her ears and let out a scream. Her cries mixed with the sound of the waves, fading away in ripples
similar to clouds in the sky.
The appointed time arrived quickly.
After much hesitation, Renee decided to go to the prison. She wore plain clothes with a light touch of makeup,
looking to have a fragile sense of beauty.
Despite that, her gaze was as resolute as a dagger, and she wished she could plunge it into Melvin’s heart when she
saw him.
“Well, if it isn’t my daughter?” Melvin opened his swollen eyes and grinned. His mouth barely had any teeth left.
The inmates knew what kind of person he was, especially considering Nicholas’ comrades were also inside. Those
inmates found opportunities to teach him a lesson every day. Even if Melvin had not been sentenced to death, his
life in the prison was still worse than death.
Melvin came out in a wheelchair—one of his legs was already crippled, several fingers were broken, and his neck
was constantly crooked. He could only look at people with a sidelong glance.
When Renee saw him in this state, she was taken aback but calmed herself swiftly.
“Oh, my good daughter… It seems you’re doing well now!”
Renee frowned. Even though reinforced glass was separating them, she involuntarily stepped back, her eyes filled

Melvin’s hoarse voice sounded as if it came from hell. “Renee, I’ll be dead soon. Can you call me ‘dad’ one more
time?”
Renee trembled all over, tightly biting her lip. She never wanted to have any connection with this demon again, yet
his blood coursed within her.
Melvin stared at her intensely with a strange smile. “Renee, just say it. Call me… Come on…”
“No!”
Renee backed away abruptly, her expression fearful.
Melvin was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
“You stubborn, ungrateful brat!” he yelled hoarsely. “Do you think you’re so noble? You think having Nicholas and
Linda backing you up means you can abandon me as your father?
“Hahaha! You’re dreaming!
“Until you die… you’re still my daughter! Hahaha! You won’t have it easy even when I’m in hell!”
