Chapter 123: Fear Consumed Her
Something was off with Daniel today. His injuries still seemed to bother him—he had even fainted earlier. But the moment he woke up, he wasted no time enrolling Kane in this school, all after just a short father-son bonding session.
If Daniel hadn't been injured, Kane would have already slipped away to find Chantelle!
"You should be in kindergarten at your age," Daniel said, holding Kane's small hand as they walked across the grassy field.
For a brief moment, life felt peaceful.
If that terrible incident hadn't happened years ago, he would be here with Chantelle now. They would be walking together with their son, sending him to school in the morning and picking him up in the evening. Their days would be filled with laughter and simple, happy moments.
Daniel unlocked his phone and checked his messages. The only thing in the chat was the GPS location he had sent Chantelle. She hadn't replied.
That meant she was already on her way.
"Daddy, you're hurt. Why don't we go home first? I'll start school when you're better!" Kane pleaded, searching for any excuse to avoid kindergarten. He had nearly finished his chocolate milk, but he still hadn't convinced Daniel to let him stay home.
Daniel didn't respond right away. Instead, he led Kane to the bleachers by the field and sat down, gently pulling the boy beside him. From here, they could see children playing soccer with their coach.
"Rai, do you remember when I brought you here a month ago?" Daniel asked with thoughtful eyes.
"Huh?" Kane blinked, caught off guard.
