Chapter 2285
"Uncle Christopher would never, ever hurt you, so why don't we go visit him together? He'll never try to hurt you with me there."
"But I'm scared..."
June was immersed in fits of sobs, her mind unable to shake off the image of Christopher choking her and demanding to know who had injured her.She was terrified of her father.
This was not the man she called her father! The glimmer in his eyes had looked so malicious and deranged that she could not help thinking this was an entirely different person altogether! She did not dare to see or face this man once more, yet Harvey was telling her that Uncle Joshua and Aunt Luna wanted to bring her to visit him! She did not want to go! This man was not her father; he was a demon, a monster!
"Don't be unreasonable, June.You're already six years old and are a big girl now, so you can't be so disobedient like this."
Harvey gently patted her back as though he was an adult trying to reassure a child.
"Don't worry.He's not a monster, and he won't eat you."
"No, he will! He'll eat me right up!" June wailed into her cushion.
Standing by the door, Luna could not help feeling it was cruel of her to force June to face the crazed man who had tried to hurt her.
After all, she was just six, and growing up, Christopher was the only adult she had ever been close to—the man who, in her mind, was the best father in the world.
Therefore, it was understandable for her to be traumatized by her encounter with Christopher.
"Mommy!"
All of a sudden, Nellie flew down the stairs and, upon catching sight of her parents, sprinted toward Luna in excitement.
Nellie's cries of delight made June fall silent.
