Sweet Revenge (II)

In the lab, Agatha played with her daughter.

Hope had awakened in the morning, almost at the same time as her father recovered. 

As she played, her nascent eyes suddenly moved to the side. Agatha's lips curved up for she knew why.

The love of her life had appeared!

The instant he appeared, Hope stretched her little hands.

Kiba quickly crouched before her, allowing her to run her soft hands on his face.

"I missed you!"

Her touches made his eyes misty, reminding him how he almost lost this boundless source of joy. 

He hugged her.

"I'm sorry... I swear, never again would I let you experience any agony!"

Hope was bewildered as his tears dropped on her. Since his words were spoken to her through the telepathic bond, she could understand the meaning of his words.

This made her confused.

She had never experienced any agony so why he would cry.
