Bittersweeet Memories Part 6
[: Daniel POV :]
Recalling Old Jack's question from earlier, I closed my eyes briefly before opening them and gave him a heartfelt answer.
"There's really no need to share with the people I hold dear, the ones who feel like family to me," I explained.
It was a simple response, one that didn't require a grand explanation. It was my most honest and genuine reply.
I had once been blind to the fact that I had a family all along, and I had lost them. But this time, I was determined not to lose them again.
Hearing my words, Old Jack's lips curled into a satisfied smile, and I could see the pride in his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed like a proud grandpa, content with my response.
"Hmm, I see,"
Old Jack muttered, his wise eyes studying me, and the others nodded in agreement.
For the others, my words seemed to catch them by surprise at first.
