Chapter 06—Careless Father

The time passed into thin air.

Austin stayed with Jenny all the time, leaving the rest of his office work.

The operation was successful, but Jenny's mother hadn't gained consciousness yet.

The doors opened, and the doctor came out of the cabin, wrapping a stethoscope around his neck.

    "Doctor!" Jenny approached the doctor while looking at him with concern and asking him about her mother with her eyes.

Austin straightened up, placing his hand in his pocket, waiting for the doctor's reply. 

Austin is looking at the doctor as if the doctor tells him any bad news, then he will talk to the management and get him fired, and indeed, he has that power.

The doctor smiled before opening his mouth.

    "We removed the tumor successfully; there is no need to worry anymore, and she is doing well."

Jenny sighed and then smiled, parting her lips.

Austin couldn't help but look at her—he never noticed Jenny before, but she looks like sunshine while smiling.

    "We are keeping her under observation. " The doctor said while looking back and forth between Jenny and Austin.

   "Based on her recovery, we will discharge her up to next week!" The doctor smiled at the end.

     "Thank you so much, doctor." Jenny smiled while shaking hands with him.

    "It's all my pleasure!" Then the doctor stepped close to Austin.

    "Thank you, and good job." Austin said while shaking hands with him.

The doctor stepped out with his assistant.

    "Boss!" Jenny stepped close and wrapped her hands around his waist while hugging him.

He looked down at her with his wide eyes; oh my goodness, he didn't expect this hug from her.

But yes, the goosebumps started taking over his body as her soft skin aroused him.

His heart started beating so fast while he was taking rapid breaths.

   "My mother is fine." She hugged him even tighter, tightening her grip around his waist.

    "I am so happy!" She laughed like a baby making a sound.

He didn't hug her back either, pulling her back.

He didn't expect that he would get a hug from Jenny here in the hospital and in this condition.

But yes, he is feeling good with her warm hug.

The rest of the days passed into thin air.

Jenny's mother, Kylie, got discharged from the hospital.

Austin is busy with the meetings, so he sent the car and helped Jenny take her mother home.

    "EASY, MOM!" Jenny helped Kylie lay on the bed.

     "I am fine, sweetie!" Kylie sighed, taking a breath.

    "No, you are not!" Jenny nodded her head in a denied way, giving a serious look.

    "The doctor said you are weak, and mom, you need super rest and vitamins, so eat well." Jenny said while giving apple fruit to her mother.

    "I am not hungry!" Kylie nodded her head.

    "Mom!" Jenny showed her eyes while placing her hands on her waist.

   "Okay, my mother!" Kylie surrendered while raising one hand.

     "You have medicines to take after food now, so I will make vegetable rice for you. Eat well and don't think about unnecessary things!" Jenny said everything while making a ponytail.

    "Mumma, you can't skip meals anymore like before, and you can't be tense about anything; don't forget you just came out of surgery." She turned on the stove and started preparing breakfast.

    "I am with you; I will support you and take care of you!"  

A smile appeared on Kylie’s face.

Jenny always makes her mother feel proud, and for Kylie, Jenny is one of her blessings from God, a precious gift.

The moment she became ill, Jenny took on all the responsibilities.

    "I forgave you earlier when you hid about your disease, but next time, I will not forgive you if you hide anything from me." Jenny turned back and showed the finger while saying everything in one breath.

Kylie nodded her head like a kid while smiling and being proud of her daughter.

   "You are the most important person to me, and your health is my first priority!" Jenny said this while taking the apple and cutting it into pieces.

   "Don't underestimate me; your daughter is brave and can earn a million dollars in a single day."

Jenny winked while acting and feeding a bite of apple to her mother.

Kylie chuckled and nodded her head in response—she understood Jenny's intentions, and yes, Jenny wanted to say, do not hide any of her problems from her, and she is eligible to fulfill every wish of her mother.

The applause of claps echoes around the house, grabbing Jenny and Kylie's attention.

     "WOW!" The man is standing in front of the door, clapping his hands, and laughing like a devil.

   "Dad!" Jenny's eyes widened while finding her father in front of her eyes after a month.

    "What are you doing here, James?" Kylie shouted while standing up.

    "Get out of the house right now!" Kylie showed her finger.

      

    "This is my house, wife; who are you to order me to get out?" James rolled his eyes.

    "Your house!" Kylie laughed.

   "Now you remember that this is your house!" She pointed the finger showing the house.

    "Where were you when we needed you?" Kylie yelled at the top of her lungs.

On the other hand, Jenny is not saying anything or reacting—she is standing like a corpse, thinking about James's return.

    "I have heard that you paid 400 million dollars for your mother's surgery!" James stepped close to Jenny and smiled with intention.

Jenny is just looking at her. He is in an advanced state of drunkenness, and a bad odour is coming out of his mouth, which makes him feel disgusting.

    "When I asked for just $100, you said that you do not have money." James clicked his tongue while acting.

    "Do you love only your mother but not your father?" James muttered and pouted his lips, but Jenny decided to shut her mouth while listening to his nonsense.

    "Come on, give me 200 dollars now!" James extended his hand.

Jenny and her mother looked at each other in response.

    "Come on, give me!" James sounded while extending his hand toward Jenny.

    "I don’t have!" Jenny sounded cold.

    "What?" He raised his eyebrow, showing his arrogance.

    "She said she doesn't have money!" Kylie interfered, coming between Jenny and James.

    "You mother and daughter, are you guys kidding me?" James yelled at the top of his lungs while clutching Kylie's hair.

    "Leave her!" Jenny stepped close while placing her hand on his shoulder.

    "Anywhere you don't respect me, but why are you teaching our daughter to disrespect me?" He shouted while tightening his grip around Kylie's hair, making her groan in pain.

    "What have you done for her to respect you?" Kylie shouted back, looking at him in anger.

   "You bitch!" He raised his hand and slapped her cheek, making her fall to the floor.

    "What do you think? What is your status in front of me? You are insulting me!" He shouted while starting to hit her with his leg.

Kylie started to scream in pain, and her head started to ache once again.

    "Stop!" Jenny shouted while holding his hand and trying to stop him.

    "FUCK!" James pushed her back while clutching Kylie's chain.

Jenny was taking rapid breaths and grabbing her head; she was trying her best not to lose her cool.

   "No!" Kylie grabbed the chain immediately.

     

   "You can't take this; it is my only mother's gift beyond her memory!" Kylie shouted.

    "I don't care; if you want your chain safe, ask your daughter; give me the money."

Jenny was looking at James with wide eyes and thinking, How can he be so clueless?

     "I won't let her give you even a penny for your drinks." Kylie shut him down, not losing her self-respect.

   "I see!" He laughed like a devil.

   "I bet you, I won't let you win today!" He muttered while pulling the chain from Kylie's neck.

    "Aaahhh!" Jenny's mother screamed; the blood was bleeding from her neck.

    "Enough IS ENOUGH!" Jenny yelled at the top of her lungs while pushing James back.

    "I warn you, if you hurt my mother one more time, I will not leave you!" Jenny showed her finger to James for the first time.

     "Give me money, then I get out of here—I want money for my drinks; otherwise, I will sell this chain!" He extended his hands to her while showing the chain in another hand.

   "Jenny, don't listen to him; I order you as your mother—don't give him money!" Kylie shouted.

Jenny was looking back and forth between her mother and father—she always wanted them happy, but she never got a chance to watch them happy together because James is addicted to alcohol and careless and doesn't care about anything.

     "Shut the fuck your mouth, bitch!" He raised his hand to slap Jenny's mother, but Jenny came between them, grabbing James's hand.

     "ENOUGH, DON'T YOU DARE TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP AGAINST MY MOTHER!" Jenny was taking rapid breaths, and her eyes turned red.

    "Hey, forget it; I am your father!" James scoffed.

    "Get out of my house!" Jenny sighed.

   

   "WHAT?" James looked at her with wide eyes.

     "I told you to get out of my house!" Jenny yelled at the top of her lungs while gritting her teeth and clenching her fist in anger.

    "Enough is enough; now that you are crossing your limits, Mr. James, I won't take you any more!" Jenny showed her finger while showing her angry eyes to him.

   "I gave you money every time you asked me for money because I love you; you are my father."

    "You never cared about me and my mother, but I never blamed you, moreover today you slapped my mom, ignoring that she just came out of the hospital. I will never forgive you for your actions today."

James does not seem concerned about any of her words; on the other hand, tears are coming from Kylie's eyes.

     "If alcohol is more important to you than us, then start earning and paying for your drinks; after today, I am not going to give you even a single penny!" Jenny's blood was boiling in rage—the anger in her eyes and self-respect in her eyes are making her and Kylie proud.

Jenny always maintained cool with her father, but today she blasted.

    "Get out of here; otherwise, I'll call the police." Jenny showed her finger.

    "You're threatening me by the name of the police, you bitch!” He raised his hand to slap Jenny, but his hands stopped before landing on her cheeks.

Yes, someone is holding James's hand.

Jenny's eyes widen when she finds Austin in her house and in front of her eyes.

   "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Austin sounded husky and gritted his teeth.

  "BOSS!" Jenny mumbled, looking at Austin.

    "Who are you?" James shouted, and Austin closed his eyes for a second when he felt an alcohol overdose smell.

    "Behave yourself; he's Jenny's boss!" Kylie shouted while slapping her husband.

    "So, what?" James looked at her before starting Austin from head to toe.

    "I am not a servant of anyone; I am the boss of myself!"

    "What do you want?"

    "Why have you come here at night?" James started hitting Austin on his chest, pushing him back while Austin clenched his fist and looked at him in anger.

     "Dad, stop!" Jenny shouted behind her while trying to stop James.

    "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" James shouted while moving his body.

On the other hand, Austin looked at Jenny, and she joined her hands and nodded her head while saying, Please, don't mind him.

Austin sighed while cooling himself and looking at her face.

     "What are you doing? Stop; he gave Jenny 400 million dollars for my operation!" Kylie said while separating James from Austin.

     "What?" James looked at her mother.

    "He paid 400 million dollars for your surgery!" James laughed while looking back.

   "That's why I was thinking, how did you earn a million dollars in a single week?" James laughed while clapping his hands.

    "Oh, my daughter, what a good way to earn money!" James is not in his hand; he is fully drunk and has started taking things in different ways.

    "ARE YOU USING MY DAUGHTER?" James looked at Austin while showing his finger.

   "Are you sleeping with him?" James looked back at Jenny, and she looked at him with wide eyes the moment she heard her father's thoughts about her.

Austin's eyes turned red already while his clenching fist tightened, showing his nerves on the hand.

   "YOU SLUNT!" Austin raised his hand to punch James.

Kylie shut her mouth, covering her mouth with both hands.
