After hanging up Gregory Vaughn's call, Cecilia Vaughn suddenly felt a deep exhaustion.
Sometimes she felt bewildered, how had the father she once revered like a deity come to this point?
An indescribable sense of weariness instantly swept over Cecilia Vaughn.
She was so tired of the feeling of being schemed against by her closest kin, it almost crushed her spine. Yet, she knew more clearly than ever, for herself, for her brother, for her mother and grandfather, she had to hold on.
...
Adrian Law gazed at her with his phoenix-like eyes, observing the tired expression on the girl's face, and silently reached out his long arm to pull Cecilia Vaughn closer.
He really disliked the look on Cecilia Vaughn's face at this moment, as if she was numb to the extreme, passively enduring all the sorrow.
"Cecilia, don't be afraid, I am here for everything..."
The man's gentle voice reached the girl's ears, firm and powerful.
Cecilia Vaughn suddenly felt an urge to cry.
