Chapter 207 Can’t Bear To Add Any More Sorrow
In Blathe when he first met Joy, Eric had always found it peculiar how the little girl frequently spoke of her mother but never mentioned her father. Today, she posed a question that ignited his curiosity.
“Joy…”
Eric was on the brink of probing deeper.
“Joy!”
A sudden shout sliced through the air.
It was Melba!
She had been vigilantly observing from the sidelines, her gaze unwavering. Who would have thought that even with such keen attention, a stranger could approach unnoticed?
“Hey!”
Melba, panting from her sprint, scooped Joy into her arms and shot a fierce glare at Eric.
“Who do you think you are, approaching a little girl just like that? Back off, you perv!”
Without pausing for Eric’s defense, she turned and dashed away, as if he were a lurking predator.
As she clutched Joy close, Melba whispered, “Don’t be scared, Joy. I’m here! Remember, you mustn’t talk to strangers, I’m so glad I got here in time. If anything had happened to you, losing my job would be the least of my worries compared to how your mother would cope…”
Tears brimmed in Melba’s eyes as she spoke.
“You are the light of your mother’s life!”
“Melba,” Joy lifted her chubby little hand to dab at Melba’s tears, “Don’t cry. He’s not a bad person. I’ve seen. him before”
“You have?” Melba raised an eyebrow, skepticism etched on her face. “Where did you spot him? What’s his
name?”
Joy opened her mouth but faltered, unable to respond.
You must have mixed him up with someone else.,” Melba concluded. “You’re just a little kid, what do you know? Never mind, I’ll keep an even sharper eye on you from now on!”
Eric stood there, feeling utterly helpless.
