Bab 227: Chapter Two Hundred And Twenty-seven: Wear A Metal Pant

Nik's point of view

I was right in bringing Neon over to my place, Isabella's mood changed for the better instantly. She was as delighted as a child who found a profound love for a new toy. It was as if the baby gave her the reason to live once again. 

But unknown to her, seeing Neon was a big stab to my heart. His appearance kept on reminding me of what I had lost and would never regain for eternity. 

Each time I saw him, all I saw was my own child who would have reached that same level of growth if he had been given a chance at life and his mother I had failed to protect. 

It wasn't easy to live with the raw memories, however, it got easier day by day. Now, I could breathe a bit seeing that smile on my daughter's face. 

For reasons known to her, Isabella wasn't that open to Jennifer which she noticed, still didn't complain nor harp on it - thankfully, the woman knew her place.
