All Chapters of The Wrong Father: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I didn't dare waste even a second and immediately rushed to the hospital.As I hurried there, I repeatedly called Ethan Alvarez, trying to tell him that the injured man was his father, but he kept hanging up on me.It was obvious that he was preparing to board the plane with Mia Reed.The doctor walked out of the emergency room with a worried expression."The patient's lower limbs were crushed, and he's suffered massive blood loss. Surgery is required immediately. As you're not a legal family member, please contact his relatives and have them come here as soon as possible."Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I dialed Ethan's number again. This time, he finally answered."Ethan, get to the hospital right now! The person Mia hit is—"He interrupted me before I could finish, his voice filled with impatience."Wasn't five hundred thousand dollars enough? Mia already explained it was an accident. Besides, your father wasn't seriously injured. On the contrary, she was badly frightene

This elegantly dressed woman, adorned with jewelry and carrying herself with an arrogant expression, pushed through the crowd and stepped forward before looking at me with disdain."I never invited your father to attend the party. He showed up rudely, uninvited, and that's why he got hit."If my husband hadn't insisted, you wouldn't even have been allowed into our home, let alone connected to us through marriage. My son even compensated your family with five hundred thousand dollars. You've already profited greatly from this."The surrounding guests nodded in agreement.In their eyes, the position of Mrs. Ethan Alvarez was far more important than the life of an ordinary elderly man.Diana took Mia's hand and gently comforted her."The engagement party hasn't started yet. I believe that after my husband meets you, Mia, he'll change his mind about this marriage alliance with a nobody.""I'm sorry. It's all my fault... I was careless and almost ruined Ethan's engagement party."Mi

Ethan frowned deeply, and the slight tremble in his body revealed his unease.Seeing this, Mia immediately wrapped her arm around his and softly comforted him."Relax, Ethan. Your father is probably delayed and still on the plane. Long flights are exhausting, and even after landing, he'd probably be resting in the VIP lounge."Celeste probably knows that, which is why she's deliberately lying to scare you."Ethan was quickly convinced.The tension in his expression eased considerably, and he looked gratefully at Mia."Mia, you're so thoughtful. You're the only person who genuinely cares about my father."Then he glared at me and spoke with obvious impatience."As for you, Celeste, you've used my father's safety to make jokes again and again. I'm warning you to apologize to my father, or I'll call off our engagement."He spoke viciously, using the engagement as a threat against me.What he didn't know was that those words no longer had any effect on me.Everything he had done

An ambulance screeched to a stop in front of the estate gates.A doctor in a white coat stepped out and shouted, "Don Alvarez's body has not been claimed, so we had no choice but to bring him here!"Quick, who is going to claim the body?"The doors of the ambulance opened, and the mixed smell of disinfectant and blood drifted out.A body covered with a white sheet was wheeled down.One corner of the sheet slipped aside, revealing the elderly man's pale face, and below that, his severed lower body.The sight was horrifying."Dad!"A devastated Ethan broke free from his restraints and stumbled toward the body."What happened? How did this happen? How could my father have suddenly died?!"Mia shrank back to one side, her face pale as she trembled uncontrollably."Wasn't he Celeste's father? How did he become Ethan's father?"Those words hit Ethan like a hammer and snapped him awake.His eyes were red as he stared at Mia."You killed my father?!"After the accident, didn't y

I looked at him and let out a cold laugh."You love me? So what were you doing when you thought Mia had killed my father?""No!" He shook his head frantically as tears spilled from his eyes."I know that before you revealed your identity, everyone thought Mia and I were together!"But I only ever treated her like a sister! When she hit your father with her car, I thought it was an accident, so I wanted to protect her. I wanted all of us to become one family!"Please believe me! Give me one more chance, okay? I've already lost my father. I can't lose you too..."Still on his knees, he crawled toward me and tried to grab the hem of my dress.I forcefully shook him off."What a pity."With a sneer, I took a check out of my handbag.The amount written on it was six hundred thousand dollars.I handed it to him."This is the only thing I can do for you. After all, in your eyes, a dead father is only worth six hundred thousand dollars."Ethan froze, and a tear fell from his eye.
