Chapter 2285

"Uncle Christopher would never, ever hurt you, so why don't we go visit him together? He'll never try to
hurt you with me there."

"But I'm scared..."

June was immersed in fits of sobs, her mind unable to shake off the image of Christopher choking her
and demanding to know who had injured her.She was terrified of her father.

This was not the man she called her father! The glimmer in his eyes had looked so malicious and
deranged that she could not help thinking this was an entirely different person altogether! She did not
dare to see or face this man once more, yet Harvey was telling her that Uncle Joshua and Aunt Luna
wanted to bring her to visit him! She did not want to go! This man was not her father; he was a demon,
a monster!

"Don't be unreasonable, June.You're already six years old and are a big girl now, so you can't be so
disobedient like this."

Harvey gently patted her back as though he was an adult trying to reassure a child.

"Don't worry.He's not a monster, and he won't eat you."

"No, he will! He'll eat me right up!" June wailed into her cushion.

Standing by the door, Luna could not help feeling it was cruel of her to force June to face the crazed
man who had tried to hurt her.

After all, she was just six, and growing up, Christopher was the only adult she had ever been close to—
the man who, in her mind, was the best father in the world.



Therefore, it was understandable for her to be traumatized by her encounter with Christopher.

"Mommy!"

All of a sudden, Nellie flew down the stairs and, upon catching sight of her parents, sprinted toward
Luna in excitement.

Nellie's cries of delight made June fall silent.

A split second later, she sniffed and put down the cushion, then tried to wipe the tears from her flushed
face with her sleeve.

"I didn't hear you coming, Aunt Luna, Uncle Joshua."

Then, she stood up, smiling, and smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes.

Squeezing a smile on her face, she then said, "Harvey told me just now that you're going to bring me to
visit Daddy.What time are we leaving?"

A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart as she stared at June's flushed face tear-stained eyes.

June was such an obedient girl, so much so that she could not help taking pity on her.She had been
crying less than a minute ago, but as soon as she realized Luna and Joshua had returned, she quickly
adjusted her emotions and tried not to show her fear and despair.

"June." Luna sighed, slowly walked over to June, and knelt before her.

Then, she pulled the little girl into her arms and said, "Are you ..afraid of seeing your father? “

"If you are, I won't force you to visit him.if you're not ready to face him just yet, we don't have to go
today..."



June bit on her lip and gently clutched Luna's sleeve for comfort.

"I ..I'm scared."

All of a sudden, Harvey sighed and lifted his head to stare at Luna.

"Aunt Luna, I know that in Uncle Christopher's state, June's visit might help snap him back to reality,
but she's a timid girl and was startled by Uncle Christopher's actions.I'm afraid she can't go to visit him
today, so..."

He lifted his head to stare at Luna with wide, hopeful eyes.

"I was just wondering if it'll be okay for me to go visit him in June's place? " After all, June and I grew up
together, and perhaps seeing me will remind him of June, and maybe he'll even listen to what I have to
Say.

"Besides, even if he wanted to hurt someone, I'd rather he hurt me than June again."
