Damien couldn't stop cursing himself for what he did, especially after what Lilly just told him.
Guilt ,shame and anger felt like a burden on his chest. He felt suffocated and unable to breath.
Lilly clinged into him, holding him close ,while muttering how brave her angel is.
And listening to his daughter, he felt a jab in his chest. How could he blame Vaidehi for what had happened, how could he not ask her , but just ended up lashing on her.
Vaidehi, his Vaidehi– who has always wore her heart in her sleeves, the one who had been his pillar of support for the last few months. Showed him light , ever after getting constantly hurt. When he has already gave up, she never did. Picked up his broken pieces and fixed it ,only to end up getting hurt by him over and over again.
He let out a shuddering breath and patted Lilly's head. He had no idea what he should do that. His thought spiraled around one thing–Vaidehi.
