Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Helper

The voice she knew so well brought Melody back to the moment, pulling her thoughts to the day her father had sent her to the Shields' place.

Tyrell stood tall, his presence as commanding as ever. There was a sternness about him, a quiet authority that filled the room. His gaze, usually firm and steady, now held something else—an unfamiliar sadness, a depth of emotion she rarely saw. Tyrell had raised her himself.

In his presence, Melody had always acted a little spoiled, well aware that her father would move mountains to make her happy.

But she was no fool. She knew the truth. Tyrell hadn't wanted to send her away. He had his reasons, reasons he never spoke of, things he kept hidden.

And as his adopted daughter, she couldn't add to his burden. Not now, when he already had so much on his plate.

She lifted her head, managing a smile, hoping it would ease his heart.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll be fine with the Shields," she said.

"You promised me everyone there would treat me like family. They'll look out for me. I'm old enough now to take care of myself."

Her words struck a chord in Tyrell's heart, but he knew better. Keeping her by his side was too dangerous.

The only way to keep her safe was to send her back, to the Shields, where she could be away from the people who might use her against him.

At the gates of the Shields' place, Tyrell bent down, his tall frame lowering just enough to meet her gaze.
