CONNOR ??

[Chapter-II]

"I would never hurt you, my innocent child." He retorted, softly with the same worried look, plastered on his face.

"Calm down. Nobody is going to hurt you." Officer Andrea told me. I wiped my eyes, forcing myself to stop shaking.

"I need to tell you one more thing." I slowly looked up at her.

"You are going to live with your Dad. Is that okay with you?"

"D-Dad?" I asked, quirking my brows in confusion. "W-Who's my Dad?"

Hurt flashed through the man's eyes. His lips tightened with each other and I could see his knuckles started to turn white.

The man had green eyes with dark blond hair like me. I slightly furrowed my brows and it took me a moment to recognize the unknown person closely.

And that's when the realization hit me.

"I'm your Dad, Connor." He beat me up before I could ask.

I froze at his answer. He left me speechless. I didn't know what to say, I felt myself go numb for a while.

My Dad is back? The person who had left me, nine years ago, in the custody of a mother who used to hate me since my birth has come back today.

"You need to come downstairs with me."

With my numb mind, I quietly stood up and followed them downstairs.

The sight that I saw in front of my own eyes, regained my mind back. Kyle and Riley were sitting on the couch, handcuffed and one police officer was standing beside them.

His head snapped up in my direction and I quickly lowered my head when he shot me a venomous glare with his eyes loathing with detestation.

Even though he was handcuffed I still had a feeling, he would walk to me, take me to my room, and beat me to death for all this happening.

Shivers ran up and down my spine and my stomach twisted fearfully.

"Don't stare at him, bastard." The person who is known as my Dad yelled at him angrily. "Watch how bad, I'll make you suffer to hurt my son." He turned his gaze back to the ground.

"Mr. Wolfhard. We'll take care of them." Officer Andrea stated.

"Most of the questions are unanswered." The police officer standing beside them stated.

"No worries. All the questions would be answered automatically in the police station."

"That little shit is lying." Riley stood up angrily, tears formed in her eyes with agitation.

"Lie?" The man grabbed my arm and I winced in pain but he didn't realize that.

He pulled up my sleeve, revealing my bruised and burned arm. I felt tears welled up in my eyes.

"These bruises don't specify a lie." He retorted. "And this is just his arm, who knows what else you have done to him!"

I noticed William staring at me with tears in his eyes. I gave him a small smile.

"Please check Kyle's phone." My heart dropped as those words left William's lips.

Officer Andrea demanded Kyle for his phone.

"I-" Kyle stuttered.

Is it wrong that seeing them helpless and fearful has sent a spark to my heart?

Anxious. The expression was reflected onto their faces that I have held into me for the past 6 years.

Helplessly, he let out a sigh and opened the password of his phone, and handed it to her. With scared eyes, I glanced over William who was talking to the Officer about something.
