Glancing at the way his niece was holding to both his and Edith's hand, Neil felt something complicated surging in his heart. The three of them walking along like this… it made him think that they were really a family of three.
Neil quickly dismissed that thought and tried to concentrate on his mission—to find clothes for Hazel.
As they walked into the mall, Neil noticed that the little girl has been holding his hand tightly. He turned at the little girl and saw her anxious expression. Perhaps due to the almost kidnapping incident, Hazel was frightened to go out in the crowds.
He lifted his head and met with Edith's gaze. For a moment, they both shared the same thought about Hazel. Although she tried to show her excitement, Hazel was still traumatized by what happened previously.
Edith raised a brow at him. A slight frown appeared on her face before she shook her head lightly.
