[Ellie's P.O.V.]
After hearing my father's words, I finally understood that some things could never change. Even though we hadn't seen each other for a few years, he could still read my thoughts.
"Father…" I didn't know how to respond, but I didn't want my father to stay. I didn't want him to be worried about me. If he returned to Bright Moon Pack with Mother and Sister, at least I would have less to worry about.
"Don't worry. Since you want to hide it from us, I definitely won't tell your mother and Yili." Father must have guessed the reason for my hesitation, and that I didn't want him to stay, so before I could continue to refuse, he said, "Let me stay. I'm old too. I forced you to leave back then and ruthlessly rejected you from the pack. I had no choice but to follow the rules. Now that I have a chance to make up for the few years we've lost, I don't want to miss any more chances."
