She said, "Dad, did you see something tonight?"
Gary's eyes seemed to flicker.
"It was nothing." Monica comforted him, "Ever since Finn and I divorced, Finn has completely given up on me. And since I've discovered the ugly side of Michael, I feel like I've become much stronger instead. With no one left to love me, I feel fearless and invincible, so what Michael did doesn't affect me much."
Gary's heart ached for her.
"Dad, love is a thing of the past for me, and I no longer have any high hopes for it to find me again. Perhaps a relationship will naturally find its way to me in the future, but if not, I won't force it or look forward to it. All I know now is that when I can see everything clearly, nothing can hurt me." Monica explained everything to her father.
Even if Michael did something to her, it did not affect her much.
