Chapter 175 Please Protect Her (2)
“Zoe, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid! Mom will take you home!”
Reese squatted on the side, watching Zoe covered in dirt, completely different from her usual clean and delicate self.
His heart rarely ached like this.
The image of Valerie’s shabby appearance from the previous life came to mind again.
Living in a moldy basement, hiding under the blanket and silently crying.
And there was that lifeless gaze.
Just like staring at oneself straight in the eye, there was no anger, no condemnation, no hatred.
Just like looking at the air, looking at oneself.
From somewhere in the dream, I just watched myself.
Smiling coldly.
His heart suddenly beat rapidly, causing sharp pain in his entire chest.
The pain made him unable to breathe, and the sourness made his nose and eyes turn red.
He controlled himself, preventing tears from flowing out, and simply reached out, carefully placing it on Zoe’s body.
When his hand rested on Zoe’s back.
Zoe trembled violently for a moment.
Terrified, she turned her head to look at Reese, tears streaming down her face. In her clear eyes, there was a deep fear written all over, a fear of herself.
She was afraid that Reese would blame her and hit her.
Reese was taken aback and suddenly became speechless.
He immediately removed his hand from his daughter’s back, stood up, and made room for his three sons to take care of Zoe.
He looked at his hands in disbelief, they had never been so cold before.
Was it so painful to be feared and alienated by one’s own family in the past?
Since the Horton family woke up, everyone in the house walked around as if they were entitled to do so and thought it was only natural.
“Sorry…”
Reese muttered to himself.
He seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, with his weak hunched back, not knowing who exactly he was apologizing to.
In the same situation, there was also Bruce and Kieran.
They also thought of Valerie.
The things in the dream made them never forget. Today, Zoe was saved and it was purely good luck.
But Valerie was truly being bullied in the orphanage and in society
when she grew up
Should we be grateful?
Was Valerie not targeted by human traffickers at that time?
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
“Excuse me, are you Zoe’s family?”
“Yes, we were.”
The voice of the police officer who came in to handle the procedures brought them back to their senses.
