Chapter 123: Lucas Nicholas 5

For the second time Lucas Nicholas asked Vien but the pitiful child hastily shook her head and tears began to fall abundantly down her pale cheeks. Vien's shoulder shook violently, but despite how hard she cried no sound came from her dry lips.

He stared at the child, shocked and lost. For the first time in his life, he wasn't able to say a thing. He opened his lips to tell her everything's going to be fine but he was surprised when he couldn't say the words out loud.

He hugged the child instead. It was the only support he could offer her. He was Ace's cousin and that makes Vien his niece. But even if she wasn't his niece, he will offer her the same support he was giving her now 

The child flinched but she didn't resist. She continued to cry on his chest. He groped for the handkerchief inside his pocket. When he found it, he wiped the tears in her eyes.
