The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1684

What was the meaning of being a descendant of the Liu family?

What did their unity have with her?

If it weren't for Kingston, the country, or the friends she had in the military region, she would have died in the big earthquake.

It was Kingston who pulled her out of the ruins. She was given the motivation to live and food by the soldiers of the state. Now her so-called family wanted to overturn her faith and benefactor. It was simply impossible!

When Frank saw a glint in Carmel's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your mum and I were also sad when I lost you back then."

"Did you even try to look for me?"

Carmel's words made Frank's throat close up.

Why didn't he look for her?

But at that time, the Liu family couldn't return. He asked a lot of people to look for her, but they couldn't find any clues, especially Rachel.

"Carmel, your aunt returned to the country many times to look for you. Did you know? Her status was very sensitive and many people were trying to arrest her. For this, she did not hesitate to undergo plastic surgery. Over the years, she had been selling weapons in various countries and constantly inquired about your news. Your aunt and our family felt guilty for you. Now that you're back, I don't ask for anything else but for you to stay with us. Even if you don't do anything, your mother and I will be happy to see you around."

Carmel couldn't help but sneer.

"Do nothing? What are you afraid of?"

Frank narrowed his eyes and stayed silent, but the look in his eyes explained everything.

Carmel sneered and said, "In the end, you still don't trust me? Even if I betrayed Mango for all of you, you still don't believe me? I can't believe there are parents who don't believe in their daughters. I've learnt something valuable today."

"Carmel, it's not like that. Your father didn't say that."

Nanny Liu quickly explained.

She had been searching for her child for so long until she felt so depressed.

Frank's legs were paralyzed because of the incident at that time and they couldn't have any more children. Maybe fate was punishing them. Nanny Liu couldn't get pregnant after losing Carmel, so she was very happy that her only daughter could be found.

However, Carmel had always been cold and distant, so it was difficult for others to get close to her.

Nanny Liu was very sad.

Carmel glanced at her mother, and there was finally a trace of warmth in her mocking eyes.

In this home, only Nanny Liu sincerely hoped that Carmel would be happy.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

"I'll make you something to eat. What would you like?"

Nanny Liu immediately cheered up upon hearing Carmel's words.

"Mom, I'll eat whatever you cook."

Carmel's lips curled into a small smile.

Although her smile was vague, it was enough for Nanny Liu.

Carmel's eyes softened when she saw her mother happily preparing food for her.

Frank felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

"Your mum was depressed when she lost you. I would wake up to see her holding the toys you liked several times while she stood at the window. Sometimes, I was really afraid that she would jump down. She took drugs and harmed herself until there were wounds all over her body. She blamed herself for losing you and that she didn't take care of you. She couldn't sleep well all these years when you were gone. She felt alive again now that you're back. Carmel, we really miss you."

Carmel whispered when she heard this, "Don't you think this is retribution? The Liu family has done too many bad things and this is your karma. That's why you are living such a painful life."

"Carmel! Stop saying these words in the future, especially in front of your grandfather and aunt. Do you understand?"

Javion suddenly became nervous.

He understood that Carmel had resentment in his heart, but there were some things that could not be said in the Liu family.

His father would not allow them to have a different stance.

"The Liu family has been unified since ancient times. Your grandfather was the eldest son and he was sent to Z Country for the sake of a great cause at a young age. At that time, your greatgrandfather reinforced the fact that the Liu family must unite together. The entire family understands the importance of this."

"Yes, but he made you lose your child. Also, I have to remind you that your so-called great grandfather is a lunatic. Wasn't he also killed by Nathaniel and Mango?"

Javion's face darkened at Carmel's words.

Frank would certainly punish the other party if someone else said that, but the person in front of him was his daughter. He could only sigh and say, "We have to abide by what your great-grandfather wants to

do."

"Why do you have to obey him? He wants to destroy the world, but you have to follow him? Don't you have your own thoughts and dreams?"

"Dreams?"

A trace of confusion flashed at the bottom of Frank's eyes.

He had been instructed to follow the teachings of his ancestors since he was young, and they had to follow the instructions of his grandfather.

Now that Carmel had suddenly asked about Frank's dream, he could not help but be stunned.

What was his dream?

It seemed that he had one when he was a child.

At that time, he wanted to wander the sea and travel across many countries to experience different cultures.

However, he was beaten when he talked about this to his father. He was told that the only dream a member of the Liu family could have was to follow the teachings of their grandfather. They must help him achieve his goal.

Now that so many years had passed, he could not help but feel gratified as he looked at his daughter.

He was pleased that she had not grown up in the Liu family. He was happy that she was independent and she had her own ambition. She would not give up on her dreams just for her family.

Frank had never been so clear abot everything before.

"Come here and pour me a glass of water."

Carmel was stunned for a moment, but she still went forward and poured a glass of warm water for Frank. She handed it to him after she tested the temperature.

Although Carmel was so dissatisfied with him, he could see that she was really filial.

Carmel was a good girl!

When he was unable to take care of himself in bed, she would silently change his clothes and clean him up.

Frank could see that Carmel was good to them, buttheir point of view...

"Hey!"

Frank sighed and took a sip of water before he handed the cup to Carmel. He said in a voice that only both of them could hear, "Do whatever you want as long as you are happy. Although I am disabled, I can protect you and your mother in this Liu family."

Carmel's hand suddenly clenched the cup.

She looked at her father's face that resembled hers, and she felt a lump in her throat for the first time.

"Dad..."

This was the first time she called him since she came back and Frank suddenly smiled happily. "Hey!"

He touched Carmel's head and said emotionally, "Call me Dad. I will protect you always."
