"Heh." Jillian Carter sat on the sofa and let out a cold, meaningless laugh.
"Jillian," Father Carter deeply furrowed his eyebrows, "why did you deceive daddy and mommy? Why did you, who were supposed to be studying abroad, spend so many years in King Town?"
"Daddy, you're asking me why?" Jillian's eyes reddened as she looked at Father Carter. "Because I didn't want to go overseas. I didn't want to be alone in a strange city, unfamiliar with the place, not knowing the language, without relatives, without friends, with everything around me being completely unknown. Daddy, I am a girl, wouldn't I be scared?"
"If you didn't want to go, you could have told us. If you really didn't want to go, were really scared, do you think we would have forced you to stay abroad?"
At that moment, the authoritative Minister Carter was nothing more than a father, a father feeling furious and heartbroken because of his daughter's deceit.
