"I don't mean that, it's just..."
The phone suddenly rang; it was Elara Don with a video call request.
"I have a call coming in, let me answer it first."
Elara Don forcefully pushed Damon Hawke away, flustered as she pulled out her phone from her pocket.
When she saw the caller display on the screen, she cleared her throat and walked towards the restroom.
A trace of a smile flickered in her eyes.
She answered and softened her voice, smiling at the little child on the video, "Hello, Tilly darling, do you miss me?"
"Mommy, I miss you."
The little child held a doll in her hand, blinking big eyes, pouting her little red lips at the camera.
"I miss you too! Have you eaten?"
"I have. Mommy, I want kisses, I want hugs."
"Haha, okay, let me give Tilly my darling a kiss."
"..."
A gentle, tender voice came from the restroom.
She called her "my darling" over and over, coaxing the little child on the video.
