Chapter 219 - Im Home (1/2)
It was high noon when Lord Knightley arrived. His presence made the room cold and dreary as he looked expressionless at her pale and sickly daughter.
”Who is she?”
”She fine the doctor said, she just needs to rest.”
Lady Zhao low voice answered him as she embraces her husband from behind. She knew how much he loved his daughter and she worries about what he might do. He may be powerful but challenging the man who hurt his daughter is like declaring war in the economical world. It will surely affect a lot of people's lives.
”Mother and Father will be arriving shortly.”
”I'll have their rooms prepared.”
She then left the man alone with their little girl as she took a last glimpse at the man he loved, it was the first time he showed such vulnerable expression. He was the man everyone feared yet resting in front of him was his weakness.
”My dear Elizabeth Knightley why must you torture me so much. I have given the world to you yet they continue to hurt you.” Lord Knightley's low voice spoke with such pain and despair, ”I who holds the world and the lives of others yet here you are…”
”Father, can you spare me the sad story…”
A faint voice responded which brought life back to the man who was about to lose himself in despair. His eyes were watery as he looked at his little precious girl. She was his sunlight in this dark cold world...
”Lizzy.”
Not a word can express how much he felt that moment when he heard his daughter's voice again. The thought of losing her was like the end of the world and he was prepared to make everyone experience the hell he felt.
”Father, I can now understand why you took up business, you're a bad actor.”
Her soft chuckle was pleasing to his ears. He did not know whether to laugh or cry in delight to know she'll still be with him.
”I know, I am…”
Before he could continue on what he wished to say, a single tear rolled down his face. Elizabeth got up and cleared the tears away as she smiled in front of him. He wrapped his arms around his daughter who was as cold as the winter frost. ”I've missed you…”
”I do too, Daddy.”
