Kapitel 553: BETRAYAL

"Uncle, you are awake!" Rhea called out cheerfully. She rushed toward Knox and clung to him. She giggled when she found the man staring at her with a frown. "You slept for so loooong. I thought you died."

Knox smiled lightly when he heard that. "I thought I died too."

"Why were you sleeping for so long? Why didn't you wake up?" The little girl kept asking questions, she tilted her head and then climbed up to sit on his lap, which made Knox slightly uncomfortable, because he was not used to being so close with this little girl. "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you do this again and make food for yourself?" She flicked her finger, imitating what Knox did before. "Can you do it again? I want to see magic!"

"I can't."

"Why?" Rhea looked disappointed when she heard that. "Why can't you do it? Flick your fingers like this."
