Chapter 12 - Lily Begins Her Recovery In The Sunlit Estate
Back inside the grand mansion, morning sunlight streamed brilliantly through the tall arched windows of the eastern nursery.
Lily sat at a small wooden table, coloring pictures of butterflies with a bright blue crayon while Martha smiled nearby.
The dark shadows of fear and intimidation that once haunted her sparkling blue eyes had finally begun to melt away.
Richard walked into the room carrying a tray of fresh pancakes and sliced strawberries, kneeling down beside his daughter.

“Anything you want, sweetheart. Today belongs entirely to you,” Richard replied, kissing her forehead tenderly.
