# Chapter 663: The Father Who Destroyed Her Last Hope
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 663 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife". This time, we dive into a hospital room where the aftermath of a dangerous pond incident turns into a storm of family pride, shattered hopes, and a chilling new plan. Seraphina is awake, but the real pain is just beginning—because the man she loves isn’t by her side, and her father’s reckless actions may have just burned the last bridge she desperately clung to. Let’s step into the room and witness the confrontation that will change everything.
The bright, sterile scent of the hospital did nothing to calm the chaos swirling inside Seraphina’s mind. Her body had recovered enough to be mobile, but her heart—wounded far deeper than any bruise or chill—kept her restlessly pacing the small ward floor. Two days of observation felt like an eternity when every second without news made her chest tighten with fear. She had nearly drowned in that icy pond, true, but the only thought clawing at her thoughts was Stefan. Would she ever see him again? Would Madam Francine ever forgive her? And that boy—the one she had so foolishly tried to push—had exposed her to everyone.
Seraphina froze mid-step as the door swung open. Her eyes lit up for half a heartbeat, hoping to see a familiar, cold but beautiful face. Instead, it was her father, Ethan, stepping into the room with a smugness that made her stomach flip nervously.
“How did it go, Daddy? What did Madam Francine say? Did she allow me to see Stefan?” she asked, rushing toward him breathlessly.
Ethan’s lips curled into a triumphant sneer. In his eyes, he had finally done what he had dreamt of for months. His patience had snapped like a rotten rope, and he had given the Hunt family a piece of his mind. “Why do you want her to say yes? I’ve already fought with them,” he declared, his voice laced with dark satisfaction. He had been waiting so long for this—every single humiliation, every bitter glance from the powerful, arrogant Hunt clan—they had all fueled this moment. But before, Seraphina’s soft heart had tied his hands. Now, with her lying in a hospital bed after nearly drowning, even she couldn’t stop him from refusing to bow his head another second.
The color drained from Seraphina’s face. Her eyes bulged, and then a shriek escaped her lips, raw and desperate. “What?! Why would you do that? I asked you to make peace with them but you—you ruined everything!”
Annoyed, Ethan snapped back, his patience thinning like winter ice. “Wake up, Seraphina! They never took us seriously. You took such good care of Stefan, but what did you get in the end? Nothing. Not even respect. Just humiliation.”
Tears welled in Seraphina’s eyes, blurring her vision. Her voice trembled as she confessed, “I did it willingly! I’ll be happy as long as I’m with him, and I don’t need anything in return.”
“Shut up!” Ethan’s roar filled the quiet room, startling even himself. He prided himself on doting on his daughter, but at this moment, he was bitterly disappointed. “You’ve got no guts, but our family isn’t like this. We might not be as strong and powerful as they are, but we’re still quite formidable. But they’ve humiliated us twice because of this marriage, and we’ve become the laughingstock of the city. I don’t want to be humiliated any longer!”
He paced the room, his pride raw and bleeding. The Murphy family had groveled and flattered for so long, all for the sake of a marriage that had turned into nothing but scorn. Ethan was a proud man, quick of temper and unyielding in his fury. Every time he recalled Francine’s dismissive gaze, every time he remembered how they had brushed his daughter aside, his hatred grew thicker. He yearned, with a bitter hunger, to see them fall from their lofty heights.
But Seraphina wasn’t listening to reason. Her entire world revolved around one man, and now that man was slipping beyond her grasp. In desperation, she screamed, “You know that Stefan is the only man I love, Daddy. I finally got close to him, but now you’ve ruined everything! Do you want to see me kill myself?” And before her father could even react, she dashed toward the open window, grabbing the frame and glaring outside. Her voice turned shrill and broken. “Why don’t I just end it all? You’ve got an illegitimate son anyway, and he can join our family after I’m dead!”
The threat was theatrical, but Ethan’s heart nearly stopped. He knew his daughter was fragile and dramatic, but the edge in her voice frightened him more than her anger ever could. Rushing over, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her back from the window and cradling her trembling body.
“Seraphina, love, calm down. Why did you bring him up again? I love you the most, and all my property is yours. I’ll get you any man you want, so please come here...” he pleaded helplessly, his voice breaking for the first time that day.
Her breathing hitched, her crying growing softer but no less agonizing. Ethan sighed deeply, trying to explain himself, to make her understand his fury. “I didn’t want to fight, but Francine said some nasty things. I said you were nearly killed by her grandson, but she said you were useless and must have offended her grandson, which was why you deserved it... How could I let that go?”
At this, Seraphina stiffened. Her mind replayed that terrible moment by the pond—her own hand reaching out, the boy stumbling, the cold rush of water swallowing her. Shame and anger crashed together in her chest. She pulled away from her father, stamping her feet and gritting her teeth. “Yes, Madam Francine was right. I did try to push that kid first, but he pushed me into the pond instead. I was the one at fault, so why would you use that incident to negotiate with Madam Francine?”
Ethan was stunned. He had walked into that manor assuming his daughter was the innocent victim, but now she was confessing the opposite. His pride would not let him bend, however. Huffing grumpily, he retorted, “You had almost drowned, I had to demand an explanation from them! They’re just lucky I didn’t kill the brat.”
Seraphina’s shoulders trembled as the full weight of her situation crushed her. She covered her face with trembling hands, her voice muffled by tears. “You could tell them that I accidentally fell into the pond, or that I was hospitalized because I missed Stefan too much. You’ve got to move them! Why did you bring that kid up? Don’t you know that they care about him a lot? I’ve lost my chance now for sure... Madam Francine will never forgive me, and Stefan definitely won’t. I’m doomed...”
Ethan watched his daughter break apart, and something cold and calculating flickered in his eyes. His ire toward the Hunts now outweighed his pity for her. He placed a heavy, reassuring hand on her shoulder, patting her gently, and said, his voice oddly calm, “There, there. I’ve got a way for you to be with Stefan. Although it’s a little extreme, I think it’ll be effective. Would you like to try it?”
Seraphina’s crying stopped abruptly. Sniffling, she looked up at her father, her eyes puffy and watery, shining with alternating glimmers of doubt and desperate yearning. “Really?” she asked, her voice small and childlike.
Ethan nodded slowly, a shadow of a dark plan passing behind his eyes. The storm was far from over. In fact, he had just chosen to set fire to it.

Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:
Oh, wow. This chapter captured the complicated, almost suffocating bond between Seraphina and her father perfectly. Ethan is likely one of the most infuriating yet oddly compelling figures—he loves his daughter, but his pride and bitterness keep pushing her into even deeper misery. Seraphina’s desperation is palpable; you can feel every tear and every frantic scream as her one chance at love withers right before her eyes. It’s heartbreaking to see how her own wrongdoing caught up with her, but at the same time, her father’s stubbornness made everything so much worse. This mixture of arrogance and tragedy is fascinating! The tension builds slowly, only to close with that ominous promise of an "extreme plan." I absolutely love how the writer leaves us hanging right at the edge of chaos. Altogether a strong, emotionally packed chapter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction:
That glint in Ethan’s eyes never means good news. He will likely propose a drastic, reckless scheme to force the Hunts to allow Seraphina to be with Stefan—perhaps involving a staged scandal, a public pressure campaign, or something worse. Given his violent temper and newfound hatred for the family, he might even resort to targeting the child who caused Seraphina’s “accidental” drowning. Meanwhile, Seraphina will probably choose to ally with her father rather than stop him, because her wounded heart will grasp onto any straw. It’s safe to predict that next chapter will show the dark plot being set into motion, and Stefan’s world getting even more turbulent—but this time, he will see a new, more dangerous enemy coming straight for the ones he loves.
