The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 486

Charles was racing through the streets, every turn of the wheel echoing his urgency. He burst through the front door and flew up the stairs to the second floor.

Hearing Charles' voice, Dahlia hurried to the bed where Sandy was still caught in her "nightmare," and cried out, "Sandy, Daddy's here! Wake up, don't make Daddy worry!"

As soon as Charles entered the room, he spotted Dahlia sitting at the head of the bed, her legs hanging weakly over the side. Her entire focus was on Sandy, tears streaming relentlessly down her face, her eyes filled with heartache as she watched her daughter.

The words "Daddy's here" pierced through Sandy's murky nightmare, giving her a lifeline, and she murmured, "Daddy..."

"Sandy, Daddy's right here," Charles said, striding over and taking her hand.

Sandy slowly opened her eyes, red and swollen from crying, and looked towards Charles at the sound of his voice. Her gaze was enough to break anyone's heart.

With a timid voice, she asked, "Daddy, is it really you? Sandy's not dreaming, right?"
