Chapter 0043

Nan had a good idea during dinner to maybe go and see my father in prison ; perhaps he could give me some insight on how to handle his mate .

I wasnt sure if that was something I was ready for .

But after I got out of school the next day , I decided to give it a shot and see if I could speak with my father .

Sorry , Mam .

We were told not to let you enter , one of the guards at the front entrance of the person said , folding his arms across his chest .

I frowned , staring up at him with confusion on his face .

Im sorry , what ? I asked , confused .

Its a prison .

Im in the visitor section ; I have every right to be here .

I need to see my father .

His frown deepened as he took a look at his clipboard and then he shook his head .

I have strict instructions to keep Judy Montague away from the prison , he told me .

Theres nothing I can do about it .

Im sorry but Im going to have to ask you to leave ! I was about to open my mouth and say something again , but another voice sounded behind me .

And who exactly gave you those orders ? If it was any type of Alpha , I assure you , they did not get the permission of my father before stating such a rule .

Is there a reason my friend cant visit with her own father ? Irene asked , folding her arms across her chest .noveldrama

L … uh … Miss Landry , the guard stammered , bowing his head to Irene .

W … what are you doing here ? I happened to be driving by when I saw Judy entering the prison .

I followed her to see what she was doing , and I happened to overhear your conversation , she confessed .

Now Im going to ask you again … why cant she visit with her own father ? I was shocked that Irene was here , and she was helping me I had a feeling I knew who gave the guards the order , he most likely paid them off too .

It was Ethan Something from the way the guard was looking at her , I could tell he didnt want to tell her this information either .

Everybody now knew she was engaged to him and upsetting Irene was not in this guards best interest .

He glanced at me and then back at Irene .

I didnt know you two were friends , he said with a nervos laugh .

Of course , she can see her father .

I was mistaken .

He stepped aside , allowing me entrance into the prison .

I looked at Irene who was still staring at the guard .

I wanted to say something to her , but the words failed me .

Instead , I nodded my head at her and then walked past the guard and into the prison Another guard walked me into the visitor center where I sat at a table , nervously fiddling with my fingers until the doors swung open and my father walked into the room .

No touching , one of the guards on standby instructed me I nodded and bit my lip as my father walked towards me .

As he came into view , my entire heart fell deep into my stomach .

I sucked in a sharp breath when I saw his bruised and bleeding face .

He was beaten so badly that he was hardly recognizable .

My heart squeezed painfully in my chest as I looked into his bloodshot eyes .

Judy … he croaked ; his voice raspy like it pained him to speak .

You came ..

Oh ; Dad … I whispered , tears filling my eyes .

Im so sorry this happened to you … Chapter 0043 He gave me a sad and pained smile as he lowered himself into the seat in front of me .

I took my seat as well ; 1 couldnt seem to take my eyes off him .

He was no longer the strong and confident man I knew to be my adoptive father … he looked almost weak and broken .

He was the shell of the man he used to be and that thought alone destroyed me I never thought I would see you again , he whispered .

Im sorry it took me so long … He shook his head , sadness crossing his eyes .

This isnt the type of place you should be in , Judy .

I dont blame you for staying away … ! 13 I couldnt stop the tears from escaping my eyes .

They soaked over my cheeks and dripped off my chin .

I hated seeing him in this position ; I wrapped my arms around my body to hold myself together .

Hows your mother ? My father asked , snapping my attention back to him .

Not good , Dad … I whispered .

Thats mainly why Im here .

Shes not happy .

I think she has gone depressed and Im not sure what to do … I was hoping that maybe you could help me ?
