His tired-looking eyes widened so much that one might think they were going to pop out. It was clear to see that he was caught completely off guard by Chloe's appearance.
"Father..." Chloe spoke the word that had almost become foreign to her with some emotion charged behind it.

"HOW ARE YOU HERE?! WERE YOU NEVER ABROAD ALL THIS TIME? DO YOU HATE ME THAT MUCH? DID YOU EVER LOOK FOR ME?" Chloe suddenly exploded as she angrily asked her father one question after the other.
