Chapter 387 - 377 Crazy Woman
"Uncle, can you take me home? Since that man who loved me and Mom has been arrested by you, should I be safe to go back now?"
The little girl looked at Long Chen with hopeful eyes.
Long Chen took a deep breath and said sternly, "You can’t go back."
"Ah? Why?"
The little girl’s face paled with fright, tears gathering in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen felt a pang of heartache.
But he knew deep down that now was not the time to tell her the truth.
Once he told her, the young girl would be left with an indelible shadow.
She already had too many shadows cast upon her, and Long Chen didn’t want to add another painful one.
So, Long Chen decided to tell a lie.
"Little girl, your mom couldn’t stand that man and has left for abroad, while your stepfather has been arrested and jailed, so now there’s no one to take care of you. But we can take care of you. Look, there are so many sisters here, they can all take care of you. Your mom said... she said she hopes you can live with us. Did you hear that clearly?"
