It was a serene afternoon for Chan, a rare moment of peace in his otherwise routine-filled life. He sat by the window, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee while soft music played in the background. The sun cast a warm glow through the curtains, creating a cozy atmosphere that he savored.
Everything seemed perfectly ordinary, until a sudden knock on the door shattered the tranquility.Chan rose from his chair, a bit puzzled but curious. He opened the door, and the sight before him left him speechless. There you stood, thin and bruised, looking at him with wide, fearful eyes. The stark contrast between your fragile state and his peaceful surroundings was jarring.
“I… I’m your daughter,”
you said softly, your voice quivering.Chan’s heart raced as he tried to process the unexpected revelation. He had no idea he had a daughter. The shock was palpable, but his immediate concern for your well-being overcame his confusion. He stepped aside, his expression softening.
“Come in,”
he said, his voice steady despite his bewilderment.You hesitated briefly before stepping inside, and Chan guided you to the couch. As you sat down, he hurried to get you some water, his mind spinning but his actions calm and purposeful, he had nothing planned, nothing ready, he didn't know what to do first
