Evans escorted Daphne to her room. He laid Daphne down and then kept her company.
"Your face is battered," Daphne said as she touched Evans' face.
"Hem, I know," Evans replied, looking deeply at his daughter.
"Why do you hate Dylan? He's never done anything wrong, Dad." Daphne tried to defend Dylan.
Evans exhaled. He then rubbed Daphne's face. Evans couldn't explain anything to Daphne. She was too young to hear all the dark stories about his past. Why did he become like this? Sensitive, irritable and closed off from everything.
"I don't hate him," Evans answered.
There were many things that Evans hid from everyone. Only he knew. Only he felt. No one knew what the reason was for Evans hiding the truth from everyone.
"Don't fight with Dylan anymore. I'm forcing you, Dad."
Evans smile
