Chapter 65 - This Is Family! (1/2)

The family watched the duo from afar with full heart, the females already had tears streaming down their face, while the male eyes were bloodshot. Only Nathan maintained his normal nonchalant expression.

All the people in the helicopter were on full alert, ready to take on any attack.

Alex saw this as well and felt his heart ease, he's glad those people are doing so much to protect his daughter.

”That's a beautiful name.” he said.

”Thank you.” Diana replied.

”Come here,” Alex gestured for her to come sit on his lap with a weak smile, which is clearly obvious that he's trying hard.

Diana blinked and looked at him with confusion, her tears threatened to fall, but she held it in, ”I-I…. You're si-sick.” Diana stammared.

”It's fine,” Alex said with a smile and spread his arm to help her take a comfortable position on his lap. Diana's heart kept racing fast as her arm wrapped around her father's neck. She felt his warmth and find herself hugging his neck, her head resting on his shoulder.

At this moment, she finally understood what true parent warmth feels like. She breathes in and out as Alex pat her back gently. ”Are you really okay with this?” Diana asked, worried that she might affect his health.

”Even if it kills me, I wouldn't miss this moment, I missed a lot, you've grown so much.” Alex said.

”Yes.” Diana replied, she like what she's feeling now, she didn't want it to end soon, she felt like a newborn and couldn't help but feel pissed that she was rid of this type of feeling since young.

”Life is hard for you right?” Alex asked.

”It is hard.”

”I'm sorry I wasn't there for you baby, can you forgive me?”

”I never hated you, I'd rather curse and speak my mind, than to harbor such feelings as hatred.”

”That's good of you, you grew up well.”

”Hmm hmm”

”What are you doing presently?”

”I'm training to get strong and be able to rely on myself.”

”That's good, relying on a fellow human being too much will only bring you regret in the end, so it's good. I wish to take you away from here and not make you go through the stress of training, but I've tried this once and the result is all this. We shouldn't run away from our problems but try hard to solve it. I would like to assure you that you're fine and to not do this, that I can protect you, but no; you're the only one that can protect yourself.

When you're independent, you wouldn't have to worry about people dying to protect you, because as much as I don't want this, it wouldn't change the fact that Shane can't be taken lightly. I'm glad you have people you can be safe with till you get strong. I will hold onto my life and try my best to find ways to get rid of that man and bring you freedom. But it shouldn't stop you from following your path and be self reliance.” Alex said.

”Don't try anything, just get better. I believe it's just a matter of time, I will end that man.” Diana said with confidence.
