Chapter 239 - Parents' Love And Protection
She immediately dashed in his direction, hugging FaMo from behind. The two men were taken aback by her sudden appearance.
Tristan just watched Zhen-Zhen who became emotional at that time. She was shedding tears once again, crying because of guilt and relief.
She felt guilty because she's the reason why FaMo got hurt. She felt relieved that finally, FaMo woke up.
FaMo could see that his sweet Zhen-Zhen was back. He turned around as he tried to comfort her.
"Shhhh! Stop crying Zhen-Zhen. I'm just fine." FaMo was being gentle compared to his cold aura when he was talking to Tristan. He started stroking Zhen-Zhen's hair.
Tristan was wondering why his so-called Father-in-law didn't even complain when Zhen-Zhen hugged him behind. She touched FaMo's wound too. But he never said anything.
'(T-T) What a big difference in treatment?! He just scolded me a while ago for touching his wound, calling me a dumb fool. Was he just faking it so that I would stop hugging him?' Tristan thought to himself.
'Well, that's understandable since Zhen-Zhen is his daughter. He doted on her so much,' Tristan added to his thoughts.
Tristan decided to leave the two so that they could have privacy. He just went outside to buy food for dinner and also to drop by at Meyer's House to check FaMo.
He heard from Alice that they didn't see FaMo. They tried searching for him around the house and near the area.
Tristan was wondering where FaMo was. He couldn't help but worry. What if FaMo got missing? He knew for sure that Zhen-Zhen would be sad.
Tristan took a deep sigh. "What should I do if I can't find FaMo? My wife might cry again because of this."
**********
Meanwhile, As Tristan continued to worry about not finding Zhen-Zhen's favorite cat, FaMo was just in his house having a heart to heart talk with his wife, Zhen-Zhen.
"FaMo, I'm sorry. Because of me, you got hurt." Zhen-Zhen apologized to him many times. They were talking in Zhen-Zhen's room now.
FaMo shook his head and said, "You don't have to apologize for that Zhen-Zhen. It is my duty and responsibility to protect you. I should be the one apologizing to you."
"I think I am the one who put you in danger. That guardian warrior found you because of me. He was the same person possessing the power I had sensed before. The one I followed." FaMo informed Zhen-Zhen.
"I also feel useless for not being able to protect you emotionally. Where am I when you are suffering from a heartache caused by your foolish husband?" FaMo facepalmed as he mentioned Tristan.
"I even failed to notice that your inner demon had already taken control of your mind and body," FaMo added, feeling frustrated to himself.
"FaMo, don't blame yourself. And please don't be mad at Tristan. He already explained to me everything. We talked and we fixed the misunderstanding between us. Tristan also apologized to me."
"Good." FaMo simply said.
'Because if he didn't, I would really ask you to dump him and find another guy for you.' FaMo added to his thoughts but he didn't dare to voice it out.
Then the two of them fell silent. Zhen-Zhen stared at FaMo intently. She couldn't help but smile, seeing FaMo's appearance. He really looked like her father.
Zhen-Zhen cupped FaMo's face. FaMo was dumbfounded for a moment as he met Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes, looking at him with so much longing.
"FaMo, thank you. I know you brought Tristan to that mountain to wake me up. You also protected him despite the fact you didn't fully like him yet." Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but express her heartfelt gratitude for him.
"I'm also happy to see you in resemblance to my father. I missed him so much. Thank you for letting me see his appearance again, not only in my mind but also in physical form. I can even touch him by touching you like this." Zhen-Zhen caressed FaMo's cheeks.
FaMo smiled at him sheepishly. "I did this because I couldn't talk to Tristan in my cat form. I'm glad that you didn't get mad nor offended that I used your Father's appearance."
Zhen-Zhen smiled and shook her head, "Not at all, FaMo. I'm so happy. Can you hug me, FaMo? I just want to feel my father's embrace once again."
FaMo nodded at her with a gentle smile on his face. Zhen-Zhen felt like it was her father smiling at her right now. Her eyes got teary once again.
FaMo pulled Zhen-Zhen into his body and engulfed her into his arms, giving her a warm hug. Zhen-Zhen hugged FaMo back, closing her eyes and feeling her father's warmth.
FaMo's embrace felt like her father's embrace. She could feel the love and protectiveness. She felt secured in his arms.
Her father's will to protect her was the one that kept Zhen-Zhen's safe all these years. FaMo always reminded Zhen-Zhen how her parents loved her so much that they're willing to sacrifice their lives just to keep her from harm and danger.
FaMo was really acting like a father figure to her. She could feel it. So she understood why FaMo couldn't fully trust Tristan. He just wanted to make sure that she won't be hurt and feel sad once again.
Zhen-Zhen really appreciated it. She was so happy to have FaMo by her side. In his presence, she could still feel the love and protection of her parents.
FaMo started stroking her hair and rubbing her back. FaMo knew that the demon god would also do this if he was here. If he was very protective of Zhen-Zhen then how much more her real father was?
FaMo knew that the Demon God would always do his best to make his beloved daughter happy. The two of them just stayed like that for several minutes. No one was talking but they could understand what they were feeling at that moment.
'Hmm, next time... Should I also impersonate Eva so that Zhen-Zhen could also see her mother?' FaMo thought to himself as he continued petting Zhen-Zhen in his arms.
