"Daddy, is Thalia really not your daughter?"
A surprising question escaped Thalia's lips and made Mitchell startled and then fell silent for a long time. He didn't know who it was who had spread the painful truth to Thalia. But, to be sure, Mitchell could not answer.
It seemed Mitchell wanted to disappear from the presence of his daughter who had grown up. However, those feet feel heavy walking. Somehow he was telling the truth. Wanted to lie, but in fact Thalia was not his biological daughter.
Mitchell fears that his daughter will be hurt and is disappointed to learn the truth about him. The truth would not only hurt his heart and feelings, but also destroy his confidence in front of the crowd and also himself. Because, all this time, he only knew if Mitchell was his real father.
"Dad, why don't you answer? Tell me, is it true what that person said about me? So, who is my real father, and where is he now? Did you really kill him?"
