Viona hugged her father tightly, as if she never wanted to let go. They had only been together for a few months, and now she had to be separated from him again. She knew it wasn't because he didn't want to be with her, on the contrary, her father carried a heavy responsibility. She knew Daddy Lucas couldn't leave because Mommy would be giving birth soon. Viona understood. But still, her heart wasn't ready to part.
Back then, when her father was still in prison, at least she could visit him, even if it was from behind bars. Now, to see him again, she'd have to take a long flight that would take hours. It felt so much harder.
"Daddy will definitely come home, sweetheart. Don't be sad, okay…" Daxter said softly, trying to smile even though his own heart felt heavy. His hand gently caressed the top of his little girl's head with deep affection.
