Jianjun's face was buried in his hands as he sat on the couch in his living room. The ever cheerful Joreen was quietly sitting opposite him with a dull expression not bothering to say a word.
"I'm really sorry dad." Sara who was sitting beside him said for the umpteenth time.
Jianjun shook his head. "I already told you it wasn't your fault. Things like this are bound to happen" He said with his head still buried in his hands.
"You both can go to bed now. It's already late"
"Dad let me..."
"Sara! Do not do anything!"
Sara and Joreen were both startled when be raised his voice.
He was also startled. He had not intended to scare his girls but he could not help it. Some memories he did not want to remember were already stirring up due to this incident.
"Don't just do anything....please" He pleaded softly before heading to his room.
Joreen moved to Sara's side and wrapped her tiny arms around her neck.
"It's going to be okay Sis" Her tiny voice spoke out.
