Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 289 Father-daughter Reunion

The woman walking over wore a caramel-colored overcoat that reached below her

knees and mid-calf black leather boots, looking fashionable.

She saw Hank standing by the pond and waved from a distance. "Hank!"

Hank recognized her and called out with a smile. "Hazel."

Hazel ran up to Hank, glanced at Abby, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got straight to the point, "Ellin is with you, right?"

"She's in the kitchen," Hank pointed.

"OK, thanks!" Hazel immediately ran towards the kitchen.

Hank turned back to Abby and said, "Come on, let's continue drawing. Look, it should be like this here."

After teaching Abby to draw for a while, he put down the brush. "Abby, you keep drawing slowly. I need to use the restroom."

Abby nodded.

As Hank walked into the house, he heard faint voices coming from the kitchen, so he quietly approached.

"Ellin, you really acted impulsively this time. I regret telling you the news that night," Hazel said, deliberately lowering her voice.

Ellin stopped chopping vegetables and said, "I was crazy at the time. I didn't think about the consequences. I just felt that if I didn't do something, there would be no hope left."

Hazel suggested, "Ellin, send the child back and apologize."

Ellin frowned and shook her head hopelessly. "I can't go back. He won't forgive me."

Hazel spoke, "Do you think you can hide the child here forever? The police will come eventually, and your future will be ruined."

Ellin sighed. "My future is already ruined."

Hazel said, "You might risk everything for love, but have you thought about Hank? Don't forget, he only has you."

Hank didn't listen any further and turned to walk outside.

Abby stood in front of the easel, holding the brush with her small hand, painting seriously.

She had a real talent for painting. Hank had given her just a few pointers, and she had already grasped it.

"Abby, you're doing great!" Hank praised as he walked up behind her.

Abby turned her head and gave him a shy smile.

At an age that should be carefree, Abby's smile was rather forced.

Hazel came out of the house shortly after, saying she had to leave immediately. Ellin came out to see her off.
