I can understand why she interpreted it like that. Her dad always acted cold toward her, she never received direct love from him. Even though he loves her so much, he just didn't know how to express it right. After the incident that happened in the past their relationship got even more strained
He got controlled by the emperor and his wife realized something was wrong but was then killed by assassins, and the dad couldn't protect her. MC thought he killed her mother and became emotionally unstable and always fainted. So the dad got her a potion, so that she forgot the incident. And dad kept his distance because he was afraid that trauma would come back and make her suffer again.
