The Guardian’s Sword By Talking Cigarette Chapter 49

Chapter 49 “Alright, go ahead.” Sean nodded. He reached out his hand and gave Candy’s little face a

pinch. “Uncle Sean, look what I’ve brought for you!”

After watching her mother leave, Candy sneakily took out two Tootsie Rolls and placed them carefully

into Sean’s hand.

“These are little treats from my teacher today, and I saved them up for you!”

Candy lifted her little head and said it with an adorable yet solemn tone.

Sean froze for a while, his hands trembled slightly as he caressed Candy’s little head.

Two miserable years.

It was all it took for Sean to experience how rare and precious it was to be held dear and remembered

by someone else.

Children were not usually ill-willed.

The care she had for Sean was genuine.

“Uncle Sean, mommy said you’re all better now.

“What illness did you have?”

Candy, as she was leaning into Sean’s embrace asked innocently.

Sean chuckled as he nodded, then he answered her solemnly.

“Last time, Uncle Sean had forgotten some things.

“But now, I’ve remembered all of them.”

“If that’s the case… If you’re all better now, does it mean that you can’t play with me anymore?”

Candy’s doe-like eyes widened slightly as she asked anxiously. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Why would that be so? “I’ve just lost something and…

“Now, I’ll take back all those I’ve lost, bit by bit.”

Sean answered her meaningfully as he touched her little face.

Candy nodded as if she knew what Sean was talking about. After that, she proceeded to tell Sean

about everything that happened during kindergarten for her.

“This, what happened here?”

Suddenly, Sean saw a bite mark on Candy’s arm. It looked like someone had bitten her Candy shrunk

away immediately, turmoil slowly evident on her face. “Uncle Sean, I’ll tell you a secret. You can’t tell

anyone else, okay?

“The teacher in my school asked me to call my parents in because I fought with another kid…

“He’s the one that hit me first, and he bit me. So, I hit him back.

“But his mommy wants us to give them money, lots and lots of money…”

Candy did not hide anything from Sean, not even a little bit.

“His mommy is really fierce, I’m scared… “My mommy said that the other kid’s family is really

powerful.” Candy hugged Sean and panic flashed in her eyes. “Don’t be scared. When school reopens,

Uncle Sean will go take a look with you.” Sean patted Candy gently on her back and reassured her with

a smile. “Really, Uncle Sean? You won’t lie to me, right? Let’s pinky promise!” Candy reached out her

soft little hands and stuck out her pinky. Sean guffawed and hooked his pinky with Candy’s.

At night Willow laid in bed and was on a phone call with Rachel Summers, her best friend.

“Really, Rae? You’ve submitted your application to leave the army?”

Willow was really excited, her tone was heavily laced with hope. “Yep, I just need to get a few things

done and I’ll be able to be back!” Rachel smiled as she spoke softly.
