Chapter 906:
Despite her mother’s condition, she was still concerned for her.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize. Actually, I’m dragging you down. If only I weren’t sick, things would have been better.”
Her mother’s voice remained as gentle as ever.
Evita felt a lump in her throat, and her heart ached slightly. Her mother had always been selfless and caring.
She was about to hang up when her mother suddenly said, “By the way, do you still want to see your father? He has been proven guilty of his crimes. There’s no point in seeing him anymore. From now on, let’s just focus on living our lives well.”
For a moment, Evita was in a daze.
She said, “I know, Mom.”
But deep down, she still wanted to try, to see if there was any possible way to get her father out. She firmly believed that if her father could be released, they could cover her mother’s medical expenses without any hassle.
Since Lina had given her the money, Evita was able to see her father.
Her heart ached when she saw him. It had only been a few months, but he looked twenty years older. His once well-maintained face was now filled with wrinkles. His condition only strengthened her resolve to do whatever she could to get him out.
“Evita, you’re the only person who has come to see me all this time.”

Her father looked at her through the glass, relief deep in his eyes.
Evita felt uncomfortable. She picked up the receiver and said, “Dad, what exactly happened? Did you really do it?”
Instead of answering her question, her father asked, “Do you believe in me?”
Evita nodded. “Of course, I believe in you.”
Until now, she had refused to believe her father would abuse his power for personal gain. Their family already had status. From her perspective, her father had everything he needed. He had the position, power, and respect of everyone. So, she couldn’t see any reason for her father to do such a thing.
“Good girl. Listen to me. Follow my instructions, and we might be able to turn things around.”
Evita’s eyes suddenly lit up in excitement. It was worth spending two hundred thousand dollars to see her father.
“Okay, Dad, tell me. What do I need to do?”
“All our money is in your mom’s bank account. She has spent a lot of money on her medication over the years. Find Mr. Myles Morphew, and he will give you a token. Then, give that token to your mother.”
Evita listened carefully, her eyes fixed on her father, and suddenly felt an unsettling unfamiliarity about him. She wasn’t naive; how could she possibly miss the hidden implications woven into his words?
