In her innocent thoughts, she believed he must be suffering from an ailment.

Then, she retrieved a small bottle and poured out two vibrant pills.

"Dad, take these.”

Waylen glanced at the container.

Skittles.

Of course, he wouldn't indulge in such saccharine treats...

With tearful eyes, Alexis resembled a forlorn puppy.

Waylen's countenance stiffened.

Summoning his resolve, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the two candies. Surprisingly, the sweetness wasn't unpleasant.

Caressing his head, Alexis praised, "Dad, you're so good."

She always yearned for her father's affection.

Waylen didn't decline her request, so she decided to exploit the opportunity. From seemingly nowhere, she produced a fairy tale book and handed it to him. Then, snuggling comfortably in his arms, she rested one bare foot on his abdomen.

No one could resist such an adorable girl.

In the past, Waylen was not particularly fond of children but he didn't want to disappoint her, perhaps because he knew she was his child, or perhaps because this little girl displayed remarkable intelligence.

He leaned against the headboard, cradling her in his arms.

‘And so, he began reading fairy tales to her. Due to his partial memory loss, his reading lacked fluency.

Alexis seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"You can't read as well as my former dad."

Former dad...

Waylen was visibly taken aback. After a moment, he realized that Alexis was referring to his pre-memory loss self.

Did the man he used to be truly love his wife and daughter and prove to be a devoted husband?

Waylen couldn't fathom it.
