"She was alone?"
The man's attention, however, was on something else.
How could...
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao gave him a definite answer.
"She was alone."
"She was alone..."
The man furrowed his brows. "How did she get to a place so far away?"
When he learned his daughter was in Yanjing, his first reaction was that their earlier suspicions had been right: their daughter had indeed been taken by human traffickers.
It was just that the trafficker's destination wasn't some remote backwater, but the bustling capital. That had surprised them.
Then came relief.
If their daughter really had been taken to some remote backwater, finding her...
wouldn't have been easy.
At least they wouldn't have gotten the pleasant surprise they had now.
A young man who had merely heard from a friend that their daughter was missing had actually found her at an amusement park?!
What a twist of fate... what a light at the end of the tunnel...
None of it was enough to describe such a wonderful surprise.
It was practically a miracle.
It was God looking out for them.
How could something like this really happen in real life?
Even now, he found it hard to believe.
"I don't know."
Xiao Xiao answered naturally.
The girl had made it thousands of miles away in such a short time by hitching a ride with a monster... Naturally, he couldn't tell her parents that.
"When I found her, she was alone."
"Because it was already a little late."
"She'd had so much fun during the day."
"And then she practiced piano in the evening."
"Practiced piano?"
The man and woman spoke in unison.
Their voices were full of surprise and disbelief.
They had thought their daughter was missing, that perhaps something terrible had happened to her...
