"I admit that I have not been a good father, not even close. I thought that when my daughter needed space, I should give it to her, not realizing those were the moments she needed me the most. I let her stay with Eve and her daughter, believing they would do her no wrong, but I never realized she was being bullied—emotionally and mentally."
Ramon closed his eyes, regret surging through his heart.
He loved his daughter deeply, no doubt about that.
"Leila, I'm so sorry."
Leila shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. But behind the tears, her smile shone brightly, showing her true happiness. "It's alright, Daddy. To me, you'll always be the best father."
During the heartfelt moment between the father and daughter, Eve stirred awake.
And she was immediately dawned with the realization that there was no way out for her anymore. She knew that she had hit a wall this time because the true her had been displayed to all.
