Chapter 545: 544: Lumi's Past (2)

Leon's gaze slowly focused on the fallen girl before he quickly recognized the person to be Lumi Gallagher when she was still alive.

"Lumi—" Leon called out before he suddenly remembered that she would not be able to hear him.

She was not the right Lumi Gallagher he was looking for. The one before him was just a distant memory that existed in Lumi's past.

Shortly after, Leon frowned.

The current Lumi Gallagher appeared to be roughly 16 years old, a tender and delicate age for a young lady. It was the age when they begin to sprout into true dazzling beauties.

However, Leon could not see any of those qualities on the current Lumi Gallagher before him.

Instead, all he could see were cuts, bruises, scratch marks, and scars on her fleshly body while an ominous and deathly aura surrounded her entire being.

It was definitely the traces of abuse—and not exactly a short-term one.

No, judging by the sheer number of scars accumulated on Lumi Gallagher's body, Leon could definitely determine with his medical expertise that Lumi Gallagher had been a victim of child abuse and bullying for many years!

Perhaps, the abuse already started since the day she was born!

The difference between the current living Lumi Gallagher and the vengeful spirit Lumi, who he had always known without her blemishes, was such a clear contract that Leon was utterly shocked by the discovery.

"Just what sort of hatred is needed for Lumi to be ill-treated like this? Does it have something to do with her deathly aura?" He frowned with wonder.

Leon watched the situation unfolded to learn more about Lumi's story, for he can do nothing except watch.

He cannot change something that had already happened and only exists as a memory.

Even so, he could never have imagined Lumi's past would be so tragic even before the incident of her death.

…

"I told you that I didn't want to see your face! How many times must I repeat myself?! Go! Get lost! If you don't disappear from my face right this instance, I will beat you death!" The fierce man roared hysterically.

A few people immediately rushed out of the nearby stores before they hurriedly stopped the fierce man from following through with his words.

"Master, contain your rage! Do you really have the hearts to kill her?!" One of the servants spoke before quickly urging, "Quickly take the young miss away! Who brought here?!"

Under the servant's urgings, the other servants quickly picked the young Lumi up and gently spoke with urgency, "Let us leave quickly, young miss."

Lumi glanced back at the fierce man reluctantly with a face filled with tears despite quivering in fear of getting hurt before the servants quickly dragged her away to safety.

Compared to the scars and wounds on her body, her heart hurt more.

"Do I have the hearts to kill her?! Of course, I do! I want to kill her every time I see her face! Even in my nightmares, I want to kill her! She deserves to die!" The fierce man thundered as he shot the departing Lumi a furious glare filled with deep hatred.

"But she is your only daughter! Your only kin, master! That child is innocent! You can't keep blaming her for what happened back then! She has never done anything wrong!" The middle-aged female servant continued to hold the fierce man back.

As it turns out, the fierce man was Lumi Gallagher's father, Yahir Gallagher, a small but successful baron who owned the entire Gallagher's Hidden Market.

At that moment, Leon still could not tell why a father would hate his own child so much. However, seeing Lumi receiving ill-treatment in such a state caused his heart to ache.

"Innocent? Never done anything wrong?! Wouldn't my wife still be alive then?! You were the one who delivered that accursed child! Have you forgotten how gruesome my wife's death was? How much pain she was in before she died?! That accursed child didn't just kill her mother, but also her twin sister in the womb!" Yahir Gallagher barked.

Whenever he recalled how his wife cried in pain during childbirth while her body rotted and dried up like an empty black husk, he would have nightmares the same night!

The sight was simply too horrifying and without precedence! What else could his daughter be except cursed?!

"Be that as it may, that child is innocent! She might have been born differently, but she has never done anything wrong!" The middle-aged female servant became choked full of tears.

During the early years after Lumi Gallagher's birth, she was just like anyone else, shocked and filled with dread towards Lumi Gallagher's unexplainable existence.

However, things changed over time as she slowly realized the child was still human like everybody else.

"I delivered that child with my own hands! And watched her grew up step by step with my own eyes! Despite all the ill words and unjust physical violence you've thrown at her, she had not once developed any resentment towards you, nor had she misbehaved! Even when she is so afraid of being beaten by you, don't you know she still longs for your fatherly love?!" The middle-aged female servant argued back.

Yahir Gallagher's heart quivered ever so slightly. Even so, he remained stubborn in his attitude towards his own daughter.

"I do not want to give her hope! It is better if she dies! The world will not accept her existence! No, they will reject her! Don't you know what they talk about beyond these buildings?! Why must you all stop me at the most crucial juncture every time?! It is too cruel to let her experience a lifetime of suffering!"

"And it is even crueler that she had never known the love of her father from the day she was born! Instead, she was despised, abhorred, and abused! Even if the world rejects her existence, isn't it the father's duty to shield her from the winds and rains of the outside world so she could live a good life?!"

Yahir Gallagher's heart trembled at the servant's words.

Seeing that the master fell silent, the middle-aged female servant took the opportunity to hammer the final nail in the coffin, "I didn't plan on speaking about this, but I can't remain silent any longer. Back then, you saw your wife's pain but did you see her determination?"

"You… what do you mean by that?" Yahir Gallagher's heart shook with a bad feeling.
