When Lucille asked Jess if she loves him, despite her already giving him an answer, he somehow still wishes Jess would give Lucille an answer but she didn't. And that hurts.
He swallowed the disappointment in his chest, pushed the door wider, and acted like he just came back to the room and had no idea what happened.
"Daddy!"
Lucille yelled excitedly the moment she saw him. He was expecting her to tell him about what happened between her and Little Miss Jessie, however, Lucille didn't talk about it.
He picked up his daughter and held her in his arms. He released a soft sigh after inhaling her scent. "Ready to go back to Soraya's room?" he asked in a small voice.
Lucille tilted her neck to watch his expression and creased her eyebrows with what she saw.
Noah stepped forward to stand next to Jess' bed. "Say your goodbye and thanks," he instructed Lucille in his arms.
