Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Randolph Winters and Victoria soon arrived at the compound as well.

Victoria embraced Lucy, crying uncontrollably.

“My darling… I thought I’d never see you again… Mummy’s been thinking of you every day, dreaming of you every night. Oh sweetheart, Mummy was absolutely beside herself.”

Thalia stood nearby, silently weeping.

These past few days, every time she closed her eyes, she would see that madman Tom Malfoy torturing her sister. She had nightmares constantly–dreams of Malfoy pouring petrol over Lucy, wanting to burn her alive, dreams of Malfoy telling her to exchange her own life for her sister’s.

In this emotional scene, even Randolph, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.

He had thousands of words he wanted to say, but when it came down to it, all he could manage was, “Lucy, Daddy missed you terribly.”

After the family of four had cried together, the observant Victoria noticed that Lucy’s mental state was concerning

With reddened eyes, she said, “Lucy was already traumatized from her previous kidnapping. Now she’s been taken to Russia and nearly lost her life. I’m so worried about her…

Her voice trailed off as she couldn’t continue.

Lucy wasn’t even nine years old, yet she had experienced two kidnappings.

How could such a young girl withstand these successive traumas?

Her mental health would certainly be affected.

Dark circles shadowed Randolph’s eyes.

He hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep since his younger daughter had been kidnapped.

Now, Randolph looked haggard and exhausted, his eyes filled with guilt and concern as he looked at his little girl. “I’ll get onto the best psychologist straight away.”

Thalia added, “I’ll also reach out to my contacts for recommendations and find the most highly regarded child psychologist available. Victoria, Lucy will get better, I promise.”

Victoria let out a heavy sigh. “I do hope so.”

Chapter 161

Asher and Leo were discussing matters outside.

The Winters family came out, and both parties came face to face.

Asher’s gaze fell on Thalia, and their eyes met. Thalia’s eyes were red from crying

A wave of concern spread across Asher’s face.

Thalia pursed her lips and silently looked away.

Victoria had intended to thank Asher, but when she remembered that her precious daughter wouldn’t have been kidnapped if not for him, she found herself unable to utter the words.
