It was too hard for a child like Alicia to understand the complicated emotions of an adult. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Ethan was still very emotional. "Dear child, you must have endured a lot of hardships, right?" he asked.
Hardship?
Alicia didn't know what that was. All she knew was that she was happy as long as she was with her brother and father.
"Are you hungry?" Ethan asked as he quickly ordered some people to bring over some food.
Alicia's eyes lit up as she looked at the food before her. However, her eyes dimmed as she was about to eat.
"Zack," she said.
Ethan patted her head. "Don't worry. I've sent people to look for your brother. You'll be able to see him soon. For now, eat. Your brother will also get his share when we find him."
Ethan could tell Alicia was starving, but she didn't eat in a hurry. It was like she was born to be elegant.
Alicia may have looked like him, but her actions carried her mother's elegance.
The more Ethan looked at Alicia, the more he liked her.
It was fine if she couldn't address him as her father for the time being. He was content as long as she was alive and he could stay by her side.
After eating for a while, Alicia noticed the man with her wasn't eating.
Being the good girl she was, Alicia pushed some food before Ethan and said, "Here, mister. Eat."
It was a simple gesture, but it brought Ethan to tears.
He hugged her again. "Good girl."
Alicia thought he was being weird, but she didn't dislike him at all. She looked at his face carefully and felt he was very handsome.
Not only that, but he was very patient too. He would pick out all the bones in the fish and feed it to her.
He also told her stories and reassured her that her brother would be with her soon. He even gave her some candy.
Alicia liked this man a lot.
…
It was dawn.
