Chapitre 167: Secret note

"Father!" Beth exclaimed excitedly when she saw him standing beside the lake with his hands behind him while staring into the distance. She quickened her pace to meet him since she didn't want to keep him waiting. He hated that the most. Wasting time doing nothing while waiting for someone. 

He turned around just as she got closer, and instead of the happy reunion Beth had imagined since she had not seen her father in a long time, what she received was a harsh slap across her face that made her fall to the ground, breaking her already broken body that was still trying to heal. 

She gasped and looked up at her father's angry face in shocked confusion while touching the cheek he had slapped and wondering why he seemed so angry.

Her father had never hit her in this manner before, and so she couldn't imagine what she could have done to warrant such harsh treatment.
