How could this happen?

Why did things turn out like this?

Nobody knew what Cedric was feeling right now.

The despair he felt now... was the same as when he thought about how Natalie would never turn

around, no matter how long he waited.

Yes!

It was an even deeper despair than that.

Cedric looked at the child silently, his eyes filled with pain.

"You should leave. Miss Luna is much better as long as she doesn't see you," Lara repeated.

People were like this!

No matter who it was, one couldn't directly confront their nightmares.

It was the same for Luna.

No matter what mental preparation Cedric made before coming, when he truly faced this moment...

He... was truly hurt!

He was even confused... because he didn't know what to do with his own child.

It wasn't just confusion.

It was sheer pain.

He felt this pain vividly now.

Finally, he turned around!

At that moment, he clearly heard Lara comforting the child in her arms.

"There, there. Everything's fine now, Miss Luna."

Luna couldn't hold back her emotions and started crying. "Sob, sob...!"

When he heard the child's emotional breakdown, Cedric felt even more bitter.

He had scared the child!

He just wanted to see her. He just wanted to be by her side, hold her, and help her when needed.

But because of what happened in the past, Luna was frightened and cried when she saw him.

Was there a father in this world who failed worse than him?

Clearly, there wasn't!

Stephen was waiting for him at the end of the corridor. He was dressed in a neat suit and had obviously
