Jamie closed his eyes. His life shattered already. Being cheated too often until raising another man's child was still bearable. Yet until the end, all his effort was useless. He couldn't have Selina's love.
"Daddy, please don't do it!" Elizabeth sobbed. "I heard what Mommy said, but I only know you as my father. Daddy, please, don't leave me …."
Jamie took a deep breath. Hearing Elizabeth's voice was a soothing salve for his wounded heart. He wiped his teary eyes and raised his head to smile at her. "Elizabeth, though you are not my blood and flesh, I still love you as my daughter. I hope you will grow up well."
"You are my only daddy. Please promise me you won't do stupid things. Daddy, I love you."
"Sweetie, Daddy loves you too. Don't worry. Daddy will negotiate with Alpha Dominick to set you free."
"As long as you go with me, it's good."
Jamie smiled but said nothing. Then two guards approached.
