บท 1099: Chapter 1099

"Why didn't my dad come to meet me?" Cara asked as they drove towards Saints Hospital.

Her Aunt Pandora had told her that her father would be waiting for them at the airport when they arrived, but he was nowhere in sight.

"I asked him to do something for me." Ray said as he looked out the window, avoiding eye contact with Cara.

As the king of the underworld Ray could lie to almost anyone, but at that moment he couldn't look Cara in the eyes to tell her where her father really was.

Not wanting to push her luck or Ray's patience, Cara decided to simply accept his answer and trust that Ray had her best interest in mind.

She knew it was a lie, but she also knew he wouldn't lie without good reason. 

It was one of the things she came to terms with while she was away.
