"Daddy, why didn't you come to save us? We've been waiting for you for so long." Stephanie's voice was soft as Daniel picked her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
At the research site, she had heard Kane say again and again that Daniel would come. She believed him and kept waiting. But in the end, Daniel never appeared.
She didn't blame him. She only wanted to know where he had been and if he was seriously injured like Xander.
"I'm sorry," Daniel said, looking at Chantelle with sincerity.
Chantelle didn't respond to Daniel. She took Stephanie from his arms and hugged her tightly. "Steph, it's late. You should go to sleep."
"I don't want to sleep." Stephanie's eyes were filled with worry as she looked up at her.
Chantelle understood her daughter's worry. Stephanie wanted to wait for Xander, and after what she had just gone through, she wouldn't dare sleep alone.
"Who's in there?" Daniel suddenly asked.
