Chapter 10 The Return of His Daughter (Part Two)

I had never doubted about the background of her. Judging from my father's attitude towards her, I knew whether she was my father's biological daughter or not.

However, only a few people knew about it, and the rest were irrelevant people who had a clear mind but wait to watch the show. The children who were playing with each other stopped and looked at Minna behind me with disdain. In their parents' teachings, they all vented their resentment towards my family on this unacknowledged girl. They all believed that she was an illegitimate child, which was the shame of the Millers. The eldest daughter of my third uncle, Snow, was badly spoiled. She was fifteen years old, but she couldn't speak and act cautiously like her parents. Instead, she gave full play of a spoiled lady from a rich family. She raised the corners of her mouth, with her eyebrows sunken and her nose slightly flared. With an extremely disgusted expression, she arrogantly pointed at the person behind me and shouted in a sharp voice, "Why did you bring her back?"

I looked straight at her and said in a neither soft nor hard voice, "Snow, she is my sister."

My third aunt, Suzan Bush was timid and weak. Her daughter's arrogance made her uneasy. "Stop, Snow. Don't you see that your sister is angry?"

Yes, I didn't look good now. Only I could condemned my people, only I could scold them, and no one else was allowed do that.

At this moment, Tessa also came to her senses. Before my father could say anything, she said, "Daisy, hurry up. Let Minna take a seat."

Taking a glance at her, I turned to my father and said, "Father, I will take Minna back to her room for a shower."

My father said, "Okay, okay. Take her downstairs to eat something after shower."

Minna looked at me uneasily, and her big eyes were brimmed with water. The strong resentment in my heart was dispelled at once. "Fear not."

Lowering her head, Minna didn't dare to look at those strange eyes. Those children were looking at her with bright eyes.

I finally escaped from those noisy children by the excuse of taking her for a shower.

My room was on the third floor, and the whole floor was my world. In this house, except my father, the rest of the people were outsiders to me, unimportant. But now, I had another family. I took off her dirty clothes, put her in the bathtub and went into the cloakroom.

The latest children's clothes of this season were neatly arranged, taking up half of the space of my cloakroom. I chose a white pleated skirt with blue dots and a cute blue hair band for her. Her hair was too dry. It seemed that she needed a haircut.

When I went back to the bathroom, I found that Minna was sleeping in the bathtub. Her tiny body sank inch by inch, and the water was about to spill over her mouth.

I pulled her up in a hurry. I moved fast but she was still asleep. I smiled helplessly and squeezed the body wash on her body. I had never served anyone before. When I wiped her body, I was afraid that I couldn't control the strength to hurt her. I was always gentle. When I finished this huge project, I felt that I was soaked in sweat.

Her small face was as big as a palm, and she was so thin that only bones were covered with skin. Even when Sally was sick, she was not so thin.

All of a sudden, a frown appeared on her face. I was shocked and asked, "What happened?"

"Sister... I have a stomachache."

I put her on the bed in a hurry and dialed the number that was put aside.

"Ruff, ask Doctor Colin to come here right away. And, ask the kitchen to prepare some soft food and send it to my room."

After hanging up the phone, I was more worried at the sight of her pale face.

When Ruff brought the food and the doctor, I asked him, "Has the gathering finished downstairs?"

Before Ruff could say anything, the phone in the room rang, which made Minna tremble with fear. No one would call me except my Grandma.

I took a look at Ruff and walked to the phone, "Grandma."

"You brought Minna back?"

The news spread so fast. I pursed my lips and said, "Yes, after all, she is the descendant of the Millers. It's inappropriate for her to live outside."

"Have you made up your mind?" Grandma was so cunning. My heart jolted.

"Grandma, there are some things that I didn't pay much attention to when I was young. Now, you should know that I am not a fool."

Grandma kept silent for a long time and sighed, "Whatever."

"Sister, the porridge is so delicious."

With a bowl of chicken porridge in her hand, Minna ate it with relish. I felt terrible. Was she so poor that she couldn't even afford such a thing in the past few years?

With my permission, Doctor Colin walked to another room to talk with me.

"It's just malnutrition and gastric spasm. Pay more attention to protein and calcium supplement will be fine."

"I see. Anything else?"

Doctor Colin looked a little unnatural.

"Just say it. Don't hold anything."

"I don't know what kind of experience Miss Minna went through, but from my examination, I think... She had mental disease. I advise you to pay more attention to her daily movements."

'Mental disease? How is that possible?' I couldn't help but look back at that child. With this awareness, I cared about her more.

When I took her downstairs, the family of my third uncle had already left. My father was not in the living room, and Tessa was supervising the servants to clean up, and the three children were playing on the other side.

Charlene stumbled towards me with a doll in her arms, but stopped one meter away from me and stared at me. She is the only daughter of the Millers whose took her mother's surname. She was my third youngest sister.

She pointed at Minna next to her and said, "Sister..."

"Charlene, this is your second sister."

Charlene's mother was arranged somewhere else. Grandma was really followed the rules in the imperial palace when it came to raising children. Charlene's mother was an ordinary employee in my father's company. She was sent away after she gave birth to Charlene. My father had a lot of romantic debts, and after that, he paid a check. But that woman was quite scheming. She got pregnant after a night of romantic affairs. At that time, my mother was in that kind of thing, and she was pregnant. She thought she could take the place of my mother, so she came to our house and clamored openly with her big belly. Considering the baby in her belly, my Grandma didn't make things hard on her. Grandma only said that only the baby could be kept, but the child could not be in the family tree of the Millers forever.

Charlene had been taken care of by Tessa all these years. Tessa and Charlene's mother were bird of a feather. However, Tessa was pregnant and gave birth to her son. Then my father married her and she replaced my mother's position.

Tessa came over and patted Charlene's head. "Charlene, call her sister."

Charlene looked at Minna indignantly and ran away with a snort. Tessa's face instantly darkened and looked at me with embarrassment.

"Daisy, don't take it to heart. She is spoiled."

I didn't care too much about it. "We're family. From now on, we'll live together with Minna. It's inevitable that there will be many conflicts between us. Charlene..." I shook my head with a smile.

Looking at Tessa's pale smile on her face, I naturally knew what she was thinking and turned to the housekeeper, Ruff.

Hearing my voice, Ruff came in from the outside, "Lady."

"Please arrange a room for Minna on the third floor. She is my sister, the second daughter of the Millers. Of course she should be closer to me." I deliberately stressed the words "the second daughter of the Millers". I didn't miss the white fingertips and biting lips of Tessa.

Ruff nodded and knew how to do in his heart.

I took Minna to the garden and said, "Minna, go and play with Jacob and Charlene."

She flinched and hid behind me. I sighed, "They are both your brother and sister. You are the older sister." Then I turned to look at Jacob and said, "Jacob, you are a man now. You should protect your sister, okay?"

"You're my second elder sister. You can play with us from now on," said Jacob, looking at Minna and then at me.

Like a little quail, Minna looked at them vigilantly. Charlene rolled her eyes and was glared back by me. Anyway, I was not a gentle elder sister, not to mention in this cruel family, there was not so much tenderness.

After I settled down Minna, I went to the study to help my father deal with work. Although he worked in the company, Grandma didn't give much real power to him. My father was born to be weak, especially in many important matters. He couldn't make a decision, but he craved for greatness and success.
