Chapter 195 - Chapter 195

(ZHIO)

Claire has fallen asleep.

But I'm left awake fearing for her safety.

She's been exposed to the public.  

"I'm sorry Claire," I whispered while combing her hair with my fingers.

"I love you."

I wished I was an ordinary person with all the freedom to wander the earth without being spotted in the limelight.  

I closed my eyes and my own version of a vision of the future started to surge in.  

I fell asleep.

"Zhio. I'm happy that you were able to get back soon," Claire smiled without looking at me. She placed the freshly cooked hotpot at the center of the wooden table,

"I've already prepared dinner."

Then she looked at me, "You're soaked. You'll catch a cold."

The rain was still heavy outside and the pitter patter of raindrops was loud against the house's corrugated metal roofing.

She helped me remove my wet jacket and ruffled my hair with a towel. After drying me up, she kissed my cheek.

"Daddy!" a little girl ran towards me and I instantly lifted her in the air.

"Hey Dad," a boy greeted from the edge of the doorway.

I patted his head and kissed the little girl's cheek.

"Let's eat," Claire invited as she laid out the plates on the table.

"That looks delicious Mommy!"

"And when did I cook a bad tasting food?"

"Especially for dad, you always cook delicious food!"

I placed the little girl in her seat beside me.

"Shall we eat?"

"Daddy's obviously hungry," Claire smiled again, "Let's pray first."

I closed my eyes to pray but the uttered little prayers had been replaced with gunshots.

I opened my eyes swiftly and realized it was just a dream. But dream or not, something like that was closer to reality.

My breathing was heavy.
