Martin's heart clenched tightly as he gently rose to hold her in his arms, soothing her gently and patiently,. "Fannie, don't be afraid,. dDaddy's here, daddy's always by your side..."."
The moment she heardAt the sound of Martin's voice, Fannie's bodyFannie stiffened noticeably, then very cautiously, she called out whispered, "Daddy?"

The warmwarmth of his touch penetrated Fannie's seemed to penetrate her cold skin, reachingspreading through her bloodstreamlike a balm.
So real, so warm.
At that moment, she finally musteredSlowly, Fannie found the courage to slowly open her eyes.
Upon seeing Seeing Martin clearly, tears streamed down, andflooded her cheeks as she burst into loud sobs, clingingclung tightly to Martin's waist,him. "Daddy, daddy... it's really is you.... I thought I'd never see you again! Wuu... Daddy,. I was so scared, so muchwith all the water, such a big and the wind..."

He, who was always fastidious. Yet Martin, usually so particular about cleanliness, didn't mind at all;was undisturbed, his heart and eyes were full of the pitiable little one infilled only with compassion for his armsdaughter.
Perhaps it was his consolation that worked.
Or maybe it wasGradually, his comforting words, or perhaps a daughter's inherent trust in her father.
After crying for a while,, began to soothe Fannie's tumultuous emotions were gradually soothed by him. She was still sobbing, but not as scared. Her sobs softened, and panicked as before.
She justshe leaned quietly leaned against Martin, whimpering softly.
AfterAs she had cried enough, cried herself outbegan to calm down, Fannie suddenly remembered something and pinched Martin's arm hard.
Martin He didn't react.
Just as her emotions had calmed down, they surged up again, and with a 'wa', she started crying again.
, and that made her emotions flare anew. "I knew it was a dream... wuuwaah... I'm dead..., aren't I? I drowned in the sea... wuu... I knew it, my daddy is ... My daddy's in Ivara City,. hHow could he comebe here... it's just a dream..."?"
Martin was amused bycouldn't help but find her reaction.
endearing. "You're not dreaming, and you're not dead; you'reFannie. You're alive and well!", right here with me."
"ThenBut why didn't you feel pain?" when I pinched you?" Fannie asked righteouslydemanded.
Martin: "...??" was speechless.
Seeing him not answering, Fannie repeated her question, "I just pinched you, and you didn't feel pain. Isn't that a dream?" she said.
Realizing what she meant,"It did hurt, but I am your daddy," Martin said helplessly, "My little girl, it did hurt, it really hurt! But I'm your father, if I cry out in pain, wouldn't that damage. "Crying out would ruin my image in your eyesfor you, wouldn't it?"
Fannie, tears still in her eyes, looked up at him with tearful eyes,skeptically. "Really?"
Martin nodded,. "Really,. dDon't believe me? Pinch me again and see?"."
Fannie did pinch him again.
But, but she didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of really hurting him.
It didn't hurt at all.
It was, like being bitten by an ant.
But to reassure her, Martin exaggeratedly cried out, "Ah...Martin feigned a cry of pain. "Ugh, it hurts... it really hurts... it ! It must be bruised now."
Believing she had truly pinched him too hard, Fannie immediately apologized, "Daddy, "Daddy, I'm sorry, let me blow," Fannie said, taking his arm and blowing on it, and it won't hurt anymore... . "Mommy used to blow on my boo-boos like this, and then they wouldn't hurt."
As she spoke, she took his arm and blew gently on the spot she had pinched.
Martin's heart melted to an extraordinary softness, his nose tingling, his eyes , and he felt an overwhelming tenderness, tears welling up with warmth, tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.
This was his precious daughter.
People say daughters are their, his little joy.
That saying couldn't be more accurate.
But Yet he had almost lost this warm little cotton-padded jackettreasure forever.
With that thought, a A chill flashed through his eyes.
After blowing for a while, Fannie asked, "Daddy, does it still hurt?"
Martin lifted her into his lap, smiling, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Fannie's breath made it all better..."
With this little interlude, Fannie's attention was successfully diverted, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
Sitting in her father's arms, she felt an immense sense of security, both solid and warm.
Fannie, curious as a kitten, fiddled with the buttons on Martin's shirt, "Daddy, what exactly happened? I, I remember sinking into the sea, didn't I?"
At theThe moment she sank into the sea's depths, she had completely passed out.
And then she knew nothing more.
She thought she was a goner.
But unexpectedly, her daddy had saved her.
"I've always been on Phuket."
And staying in the same hotel, on the same floor as them. They just didn't know it.
They just didn't know it.
Fannie looked up at him in surprise, "Ah... . "Daddy, you were on Phuket Island, too?"
Martin nodded, telling a lie,. "Daddy was on Phuket Island for a business deal. The day you went out to sea, I knew there was a typhoon was coming and was afraid something would happen to you, so I immediately took a helicopter to find you. When I arrived, your yacht had already been destroyed, and the storm was so fierce that it took me a long time to find you. "
When I arrived, your yacht had already been destroyed, and the storm was so fierce, it took me a long time to find you."
When he found Fannie, her body was sinking.
Without hesitation, he dived into the sea, rescued Fannieher, and then climbed up the rope ladder Alan had thrown down.
He had also wanted to save Charles.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find him despite searching for a long time, he couldn't find him.
. After a while, theHunter's search and rescue team arrived, and once. Once he was sure Charles was safe, he took Fannie and left first.
Thinking back, it was frightening.
What if he hadn't gone? Would he have completely lost his little girl?
Fannie looked at her father with adoration, imagining the scene of her father arriving heroically in a helicopter—. Wow, it must have been so cool.
Wow—
It must have been so cool.
InMartin almost lost himself in his daughter's starry-eyed gaze, Martin almost lost himself, his. If he had a tail, it would be nearly wagging to the sky.
"Do you think Daddy is very cool?"
Fannie nodded.
Martin touched her soft little cheek,. "You're very weak right now,. yYou need to rest well!. Are you hungry? Should I make something for you to eat?"
Fannie nodded, thenand suddenly remembereding something and, asked, "Where are Mommy and brother? Where are they?"
At the mention of them, Martin suddenly remembered, hurriedly saying, "For said, "Don't contact anyone for the next few days, don't contact anyone, just . Just stay by Daddy's side. That includes your brother and mommy."
"Why?" Fannie asked, puzzled, ."Why?"
"Because we're playing hide-and-seek with them," Martin didn't wantsaid, not wanting her pure heart to be corrupted by evil, nor did he want her to know the dark schemes and tricks that were beyond her age, so he coaxed her in another way.
"Because we're playing hide and seek with them! . "Whoever gets found first loses, and they won't get any allowance for a year.".
"Ah..."
Fannie didn't understand much, but hearing about not having an allowance for a year, she immediately became excited,. "I definitely won't lose. Daddy, don't worry,. I won't contact them,. I'll make sure they can't find me."
"Good girl..."
," Martin rubbedsaid, rubbing her head affectionately,. "Lie down on the bed,. Daddy will go make you something to eat."
"Okay!"."
Before Martin left, he turned on the TV for her, so she wouldn't get bored.
In the kitchen, Martin turned on the stove, boiled water, and started to prepare food for Fannie.
Just as he put the lid on the pot, his phone rang.
It was a call from Alan.
As soon as When he answered the call, Alan's anxious voice came through, urgent and impatient, .
