章 2575: Hurt

Aina looked like she was just fine after she left her father and Leonel behind, but truthfully she was a nervous wreck. What she didn't expect, though, was for Leonel and her father to suddenly appear before her just a few minutes later. 

She exhaled a breath of relief quite quickly, though, feeling that things between them shouldn't be so bad if her father came in when he had so vehemently refused to previously. 

"Aina, give me your hand," Miel suddenly said, reaching forward. 

Though confused, Aina did as she was told. Miel stayed silent for a long while as he held his daughter's palm, but there was a continuous wave of emotions passing through his eyes as the time ticked by. 

Just when Aina was about to ask what he was doing, he pulled his hand back. He looked toward his daughter with no small hint of shock in his eyes.
