Guilt And Pain

Adonis

Before I could take a step forward to find out by myself, a firm hand clasped on my shoulder from behind and I reflexively turned around, effortlessly moving my shoulder away from the hand.

As I turned, my eyes locked with pale blue eyes that looked very familiar, but older and male. Lily’s dad. He was back. And from the unpleasant look on his face, I could tell that he had also gotten a lot of negative information from the investigators and police.

"Ace." He said solemnly, raising his hand again to clasp my shoulder. "I boarded a flight back as soon as I heard the news of my precious daughter. It’s a good thing that she is responding well to medical treatment."
