Brief Reunion

"I'm not your real father."

Who would have thought, right after he opened his eyelids, this is the first sentence he would mutter right in front of her daughter?

Dina was perplexed. Aliyah's group was perplexed. Anna is the only exception as she is still innocent.

"W-What do you m-mean by that? You jest. You just wake up so you are still confused. The priest that constantly monitors your health told us about it. Whenever a person wakes up from a deep sleep, some of the memories are still jumbled thus making you confused."

Dina wryly smiles after saying her piece.

Mel only glanced at her before turning his head to the window opening his mouth and begin speaking again.

"I'm telling the truth. You were still a little baby when you were brought to my doorstep in Capital City. I raised you alone and when you turned eighteen years old, I brought you here because your face is becoming more identical to your mother's."
