Finally, the police believed them and left. After sending the police away, Terilynn looked at Sheffield in surprise.

“She really stopped crying!" And why should she be surprised? ‘I guess they're right, ‘ she thought. ‘Fathers and daughters do have a special bond.

Sheffield held Gwyn vertically in his arms and gently patted her back

“Maybe she wasn't feeling well." Then he Looked down at the baby girl and coaxed her tenderly, “Tell me your name. I'll take you to buy some yummy, okay?"

Gwyn said nothing and leaned her head on his shoulder, looking at

Terilynn.

“Please don't mind her. She's got some PTSD..." Terilynn explained.

*PTSD?' With a sympathetic look on his face, Sheffield held the little girl tighter, and asked, “How long has she been Like this?"

“She's been like this for a few months. She's been seeing the doctor all the time, but it hasn't done much good." Carlos had hired the best psychiatrists and psychologists in the world for Gwyn, but to no avail.

“Don't worry. Everything will be fine. By the way, who is she to you?"

It was not until then that Sheffield came to think of this question

"She is my cousin's daughter. Her parents are very busy. My mom used to take care of her. But she had something come up, so I'm taking care of the toddler," Terilynn lied calmly.

“Oh, I see. It's gotta be challenging, doing that." It was not easy for a girl to hold a little girl, even one as tiny as Gwyn, for too long

“It's not that hard for me. It's sure hard on her mom, though!”

Terilynn blurted out, but then she immediately shut her mouth, fearing that the secret might come out.

Sheffield didn't probe further and asked her opinion.

"Mind if I take off with her? Show her some fun things to do?"

“Sounds good. Where do you want to meet up when you're done?" ‘If Gwyn could have more contact with her biological father, maybe it will help with her PTSD, ' Terilynn thought.

“Let's meet here Later. Don't wander too far," Sheffield said.

“Okay then. Bye bye, Gwyn! Have fun with your uncle Sheffield!"

Terilynn waved at the little girl happily

Gwyn didn't respond. Terilynn had been used to the little girl's silence. But Sheffield was not used to such a scene; he felt sorry for the child.

Then, Sheffield entered the shopping mall with the kid in his arms. As soon as they left, Bennett came to Terilynn from behind and whispered,

“Miss Terilynn, you sure that's okay?" The bodyguard took a look at

Sheffield's receding figure.
