Chapter 217
Zeke hesitated for a moment, fear and panic flashing in his eyes. He stammered, “Uh, no… Who says… Damn..”
Zeke’s face flushed as he still wanted to curse.
He was afraid that once Anastasia learned the truth, she wouldn’t support him
anymore.
Wearing a sarcastic smile, Anastasia said, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. After all, you did at least i name raise me all these years, right? So, stop acting and tell me the truth”
Anastasia pulled over a chair and sat by Zeke’s bed.
“L…” Zeke’s eyes dodged around, unable to meet Anastasia’s gaze.
Seeing Anastasia staring at him, Zeke finally sneaked a card out from under his pillow and said, “Oh I, earlier… Secretly asked Alastor for it when 1… Found out… He wanted a divorce from you. I wanted to secure something for you.”
Zeke told Anastasia that this money was a backup he had secretly obtained from Alastor in advance.
Anastasia laughed, her eyes slightly tearful. She asked, “Do you think that because of your current situation, you can’t gamble or use it anymore, you’re trying to use it to win me over?”
“No… No.” Zeke shook his hand, extremely flustered. “Anastasia. I’m sorry, okay?”
“Anastasia… I’m sorry,” Zeke apologized to Anastasia again and again
However, Anastasia leaned back in the chair, watching him
with
h a cold detachment.
Even though she didn’t feel anything inside, her eyes still filled with tears.
Finally, Zeke apologized to her. But it was pointless. Anastasia had already been ruined. Her life and spirit had been significantly altered a long time
ago.
Anastasia said firmly. “Be honest with me. Since Alastor gave you the money, just keep it for your future. I just want to know the truth.
Zeke finally confessed, “Your mom. She was pregnant and had no choice… She married me for you. Back then, having a child out of wedlock was difficult
Anastasia could somewhat imagine what her mother had to bear back then…
A decent man would not marry a woman who was pregnant with another man’s child.
To give birth to Anastasia and raise her, Sue had to marry Zeke, who was unreliable and buried in gambling debts.
In fact, at that time, Sue knew she was marrying into a nightmare.
However, she had no other choice. She did so for Anastasia.
Being abandoned by the man she loved, Sue must survive for her daughter. She once fought desperately for Anastasta. However, the cruel reality and life gradually pushed a tender woman to the edge of insanity.
“Who was that man?” Anastasia asked in a shaky voice.
Zeke hung his head, awkwardly tracing circles with his right hand. He murmured, “No… No idea. She wouldn’t say.
Zeke had beaten Sue for years but never found out who the man was,
Sue kept her secret.
“Zeke, do you believe in karmal” Anastasia asked.
She didn’t get the answer she wanted and realized there was nothing else to ask, so she stood up and looked down at Zeke,
Zeke’s eyes turned tearful, and he slapped his face in remorse, saying. Tm such a…. Jerk.
“I’m not even human” He kept slapping himself.

Chapter 217
Ever since he married Meredith, Zeke had realized just how wonderful Sue was
She was such a kind and caring woman, like an angel sent from heaven, but Zeke didn’t cherish her.
He had loved her. Sue was so beautiful, and he couldn’t help but fall in love with her.
However, Sue was in love with another man, which drove Zeke to desperation
“Suc… She was a good woman…” Zeke sobbed, gesturing with his hands.
Anastasia laughed, holding back tears as she spoke, “Zeke, no matter how unfortunate my mom was, when she was with you, she never tried to harm you or take anything from you.”
Overwhelmed with guilt, Zeke buried his face in his hands and wept more loudly.
When people got sick and unable to move, they tended to think about many things, which only made things worse.
Zeke knew he had done too many things that hurt both Sue and Anastasia.
eves were filled with hatred.
“I will find that scumbag Anastasia said in a hoarse voice, and her eyes
She had thought since life didn’t matter to her, she wouldn’t hate anyone.
However, she could let go of her hatred for Zeke, yet not for the jerk who made Sue a single parent.
That jerk was Anastasia’s biological father.
