" Mr. Gideon. I have a person question for you. " Lawyer Sam said while facing Gideon.

" Go on. " As always Gideon said confidently.

" Okay. You and your wife both claimed you never maltreated, Miss Essy, right? "

" Yes, of course. "

" Alright. But did you ever treat her like your daughter? Have you ever shown her fatherly love? " Lawyer Sam asked while staring intensely at, Gideon.

He couldn't tell the truth and at the same time, he couldn't lie.

He suddenly found himself torn between telling the truth and lying.
