At once, Elisa burst into tears uncontrollably.
All this while, she thought she was able to control her emotions when being reminded of her father’s
passing, although she had not gotten over it. Little did she expect to hear her father’s voice under such
a circumstance.

Dad must have been disappointed upon discovering how greedy and evil Uncle Norman and his family
were, yet he doesn’t want me to avenge him or be involved in the matter. At the same time, he had to
remind me to put up my guard lest they harm me.
Nelson Benett, Elisa’s father, knew Elisa would figure out what was going on from these words, given
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther smartness. He didn’t want Elisa to seek revenge against Norman, so he couldn’t reveal too much
information.
“Liz, I hope you’ll hear this recording someday, yet I hope you’ll never hear this recording. Sigh… I just
want you to be happy. At the same time, I’m worried that you’ll be bullied. My darling and little princess,
you can only depend on yourself to survive in the future. My only hope is for you to stay healthy and
happy. Can you promise me not to bother with other agendas?”
Elisa sobbed as she struggled to get a hold of herself.
Gareth gazed at her and spoke as gently as possible, “Cry it out as you wish.”
His words tipped Elisa over the edge, but the latter still controlled herself not to let out a sound and only
teared up in silence.
“Liz, there is always a time to say goodbye. That’s all that I want to say to you for now. I’ll watch over
you forever to see you carry on with life strongly. Goodbye, my princess. Dad loves you forever.”
Feeling a piercing pain in her chest, Elisa instinctively covered her chest with her hand.
Gareth was a bundle of nerves when he saw that, and he immediately said, “I’ll ask Jeremy to come
over.”
“It’s okay. I’m fine.” Elisa mumbled arduously.
She knew it wasn’t a health issue but broken heart syndrome due to extreme agony.
Moreover, she was well-versed in medical practices.
Gareth furrowed his brows. Nonetheless, he could tell that Elisa was still trying to control her emotions
and was getting more stable.
Pressing his lips tight, he said nothing and fixed his gaze on Elisa, who was slowly wiping away her
tears.
Within a few minutes, she regained her composure and took a deep breath. “How did you get this
recording?”
Why did I never find it?
Nelson mentioned in the recording that he intended to let her discover this recording by chance.

Elisa reckoned Nelson must have reckoned that Norman and his family wouldn’t lay a finger on her yet
after his passing for the sake of their reputation. Indeed, Nelson had thoroughly thought about the
situation.
Besides, he knew Elisa would be heartbroken like him upon knowing the truth. He didn’t want to see
her anguish, yet he was worried that she wouldn’t guard against Norman.
He was in a quandary, so he left a recording for Elisa to discover by chance.
However, Elisa couldn’t understand why the recording that she couldn’t find all this while was with
Gareth.
“Your father passed it to me before he died.” Gareth answered calmly.
Elisa was stunned. “So, you have been aware of the truth since long ago?”
Gareth’s eyes fluttered, but he hummed without many emotions, “He exhorted me to only reveal it to
you under an essential situation.”
