Chapter 8 - Thomas Inspects His Daughter Tenderly Today
Once Eleanor was escorted away by security, Thomas dropped immediately to his knees beside Sarah and little Lily.
His explosive anger instantly melted into profound tenderness as he reached out with shaking, gentle hands.
“Let me see your hands, sweetheart. Did the hot metal burn you badly?” Thomas asked, his voice cracking with emotion.
Lily slowly extended her small, trembling hands, revealing red blisters forming across her delicate palms.
Thomas winced as if the burns were on his own skin, pulling a clean silk handkerchief from his tuxedo pocket.
He gently wrapped her hands to protect them from infection, pressing a soft kiss against her knuckles.

Sarah watched her husband with deep affection, knowing the fierce monster he became was driven entirely by love.
