Chapter 20

With Celena’s movement, Jovie stirred, and when she saw her mother clutching her like that, she gently squeezed Celena’s hand and said. feebly, “Don’t cry, Mommy! It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

Celena began to tremble and sob even harder at this. “Jovie, I thought I was never going to see you again! It’s all Mommy’s fault; I failed to protect you.”

“Please don’t cry, Mommy! I’m so happy that I finally got to see Daddy now! it doesn’t hurt anymore, Mommy, so please don’t cry.” Jovie’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

She was only six years old, but she spoke as if she were a mature adult!

Celena felt heartbroken at this. Her precious little daughter!

She nodded and replied, “Okay, Jovie. I promise I won’t cry anymore. My dear Jovie’s the bravest girl I’ve ever seen! I couldn’t be more proud of you!”

Jovie glanced around the room and, when she could not find Liam, turned to Celena and asked, “Mommy, where’s Daddy? Is Daddy going to leave us again? Why is he leaving us again? Is it because I’m not a good girl?”

Jovie had always been teased for being fatherless since a young age, and now after having met her father, she was not willing to accept the fact that her father would leave her once more.
