GoodReadLying in her hospital bed, Quincy looked up at her biological father with a mix of emotions.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, have I ever made you wonder if I'm really your daughter?" "Cut the nonsense! Do you know that the Lopez family have withdrawn their funding because of your disappearance? Without that money to fill up this hole, decades of my hard work will go down the drain!" Ronin was so agitated that he paced the room. "And after all, haven't you already agreed? Didn't we have an understanding? Once you've established yourself within the Lopez family, you can do whatever you want. I just beg you to do one thing for the benefit of our family!" Ronin was completely blindsided when he received a call from Jonathan. After all, the fate of their family was tightly gripped in Jonathan's hands.

This was about marriage, a commitment for life! "What have I ruined? Is marrying into the Lopez family beneath you?" he asked.
"I have no feelings for Everett!" Ronin almost laughed in frustration, "Why do you need feelings? Money and power are what truly matter in the world. What's the use of feelings? When you're down and out, love is nothing but a joke!" "That's only what you believe," Quincy pulled her lips. "You want to give the whole family away to your son, I don't mind. I never wanted anything from our family's fortune, but you're determined to sabotage my chance at happiness!" "Quincy!" Ronin's voice was stern.
"Being born and raised in our family, don't you think you've spent a dof its money? You think you're above it all and think you are chasing sfairy tale of love? Lettell you, that's utterly impossible! If only you hadn't been born into privilege, if only you hadn't enjoyed the life of a lady in our family!" Raising a child to beca doctor was so expensive. From university tuition to independent research labs and hiring renowned medical mentors... It's not something an mentors...
average family could afford Ronin had thought that if the family fortune couldn't go to his daughter, at least she could choose her own career path as long as it didn't threaten his son's inheritance.
"You could've just not had me. A son would have been enough." Quincy knew what her father was about to say. He had used the sreasoning before.
"Quick, go make the call to Jonathan. If the funding is pulled then our family is really finished! Ronin had no patience for argument now, the calls demanding money were nearly bombarding his phone.
"I'll make the call, but on one condition." Quincy closed her eyes, knowing she was giving her father one last chance he hadn't cherished.

"What's your condition?" Ronin asked impulsively.
"After the Lopez family funds ours this time, I will have nothing to do with our family anymore. I've repaid every penny you've ever spent on me!" "Your life was given by your mother and me. How can you repay that?" Ronin, almost reflexively, tried to negotiate.
After all, if his daughter truly married into the Lopez family, that... that would be immensely beneficial in the future.
