The Billionaire's Genius Wife

However, before she could say anything, her eyes widened at what was happening in front of her...

"OMG!! Thank God!! Dad, Dad... are you finally awake? How are you feeling, huh!?" Scarlett walked quickly and stood by the bed. She saw her father lying on the bed with his eyes fixed on her.

The glow in her eyes brightened, too happy to see her father finally awake. She could see so much emotion in his eyes at this moment. But something was bothering her mind; her father didn't react to her at all. As if he didn't recognize her.

Scarlet took his hand. She could feel his hand warm.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She smiled at him before asking, "Dad... Do you know me?" She asked worriedly that her father might have amnesia.

She waited. Maybe her father needed some time to say something, but after a few seconds of waiting, her father still didn't answer her question. He just looked at her with a detailed look.

Scarlett was frightened when she saw her father's condition. She turned to look at the doctor behind her.

"W-Why didn't my father say something? Has he lost his memory?" Just thinking about it made her tremble.

The doctor smiled, "No, Mr. Piers is fine. We have tested his senses, everything is fine, and he remembers his family."

"Oh, really? But why isn't he responding to me?"

"Patience, maybe he needs time to form sentences." Scarlett felt a little better after hearing the doctor's words. "...Mrs. Riley, please excuse us. You can talk to your father first, but you must not say anything that might startle him. Please alert us if something happens here." They all left the room.

Xander put a hand on her shoulder and turned her body to face him. As their eyes locked, he said, "I'll be waiting outside. You talk to your father first..."

Scarlett nodded. After seeing Xander close the door, she looks at her father again. She could see now his eyes were much better than before.

"Dad, I am your daughter Scarlett. Do you remember me?" She asked again.

Jonathan Piers was utterly shocked. It's hard to believe the first person he saw when he woke up from the coma was Scarlett. Not his wife, Lauren or Nicole.

Didn't this girl get mad at him and run away!? Since she left, she never even picks up his phone call and doesn't answer any text messages he sends.

He felt both strange and amazed. Has this girl forgiven him!?

Somehow a bit of happiness appeared in his heart, seeing this girl worry about him.

"S-Scarlett, of course, I remember you. You are my daughter..." Jonathan Piers' voice was hoarse and cracked. "W-Where's your sister Nicole? And, y-your mother!?"

Instantly Scarlett felt her body stiffen. She was at a loss about telling him the news without shocking him.

If her father found out what Lauren did to Nicole and caused Nicole to kill herself, he would be furious — she was sure of it.

Not hearing Scarlett say anything, Jonathan asked again, "Is your mother busy at the office? And, your sister is in college, so she can't be here!?"

Scarlett cleared her throat and sat down on a chair beside the bed. She decided to tell him because sooner or later, he would know too.

"Dad, something big happened while you were unconscious." Scarlett's hands in her lap squeezed together as she observed her father's emotions.

"What I'm trying to tell you could make you angry, but please promise me, no matter how bad the news I'm about to tell, you won't get too emotional..."

"Scarlett, please say it! Don't confuse your poor father here."

"Dad, you have to promise me first..."

Jonathan Piers smiled, thinking this girl might introduce the tall, handsome man waiting for her outside.

He remembered the last time they fought. Scarlett said she already had a boyfriend. "Scarlett, daddy won't be angry, even if you don't introduce the man to daddy first. So what's your relationship with him? Are you guys engaged?"

Scarlett, "..."

"Dad, this isn't about him. This is about Aunt Lauren and Nicole." She stopped when she saw her father's expression slowly change — From loving smiles to great shock and frightening faces.

"W-What happened to them?" His voice rose an octave as his emotions began to stir.

Scarlett didn't hold back. She told him, "Aunt Lauren, try to set Nicole up with a son from one of the rich families on the island. However, that guy was a bastard. He wasn't serious but just wanted to play with Nicole. He tricked Nicole into coming to the hotel..."

Jonathan's pale face began to change color.

With a trembling voice, she continued, "When I found out about it, I went straight to help her, but I was too late. That bastard already raped my little sister. However, what's worse... my sister tried to end her life by slicing off her arm. We found her and brought her to the hospital..."

Scarlett couldn't continue her words anymore. Because she began to cry when she saw his father's face turn redder, and a few veins appeared on his forehead.

"H-How dare she do that?? Why would she set Nicole up with someone!? I warned her never to do that to you or Nicole again after Frans's incident with you, yet, she still did that!?" Jonathan Piers is angry and will surely punish his wife!

"Scarlett, bring that woman here, NOW..." Jonathan felt his heart rate suddenly rise, and the engine indicator near the bed started beeping so loudly that he was shocked and stopped talking.

"Dad... Dad... Please don't get angry..." She was surprised to see how red his face was, and his breaths became shorter.

Scarlett hastily pressed the button to call the doctor. In no time, several doctors and nurses entered the room with sharp looks on their faces. She moved aside to give them room to check her father's condition.

Now, she felt worried. She would not forgive herself if something happened to her father!
