"Will my dad be back for that long, Aunty?" Qiara asked as she raised her face towards Alice, "I miss my dad. I want to call dad and hear his voice, Aunty. Please call my dad, Aunt Alice. Please!" continued Qiara with sobs and a face that was already wet with tears.
Alice was silent while watching how sad this little child had to accept the fact that the only thing that made her the happiest in this world was gone and was forcibly taken away from her.
Alice hugged Qiara affectionately. No doubt, Alice also shed tears when she felt her heart slashed seeing Qiara's longing for her dead father.
Alice wiped the tears on her face then after that, she wiped Qiara's tears with a smile.
"Later, aunty will talk to uncle about your dad. After Uncle Sean comes home later, we will talk to you again, dear," Alice said encouraging little Qiara.
