My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 440 Liliana's Gratitude



"Hiks… Mommy, Sister Charlotte, Sister Iris, Sister Stella… Daddy… Help me… I don't want to be alone!"

In a pitch-black room, Fiona sat with her head lowered, burying her face between her knees.

She sobbed in fear, calling out the names of Liliana, Charlotte, Iris, Stella, and Leon.

But no matter how much she cried, no one answered. There was only the suffocating darkness surrounding her.

Shivering, she slowly lifted her head, her body trembling with fear.

"It's dark… I'm scared… Someone, please help! Wuuu~" Her cries grew louder as she buried her face in her knees again.

Darkness and solitude—those were the things she feared the most. Whenever she was scared, she would run into her daddy's arms.

But now, her daddy, her sisters, and her mommy were nowhere to be found. She was all alone in this terrifying place.

*Buzz!*

At that moment, a streak of light burst from above, pushing back the darkness that surrounded Fiona.

Startled, she slowly lifted her head, her eyes widening in disbelief.

The light slowly descended, stopping just a meter in front of her.

*Whoosh!*

In an instant, the light vanished—revealing the handsome man she had longed for so much.

"Daddy!?" Fiona's sadness vanished in an instant as she exclaimed with joy.

Leon smiled gently, crouching down on one knee before opening his arms wide.

"Sorry for being late, Fiona. Come here," he said with a chuckle.

Without hesitation, Fiona jumped to her feet and ran toward him on her tiny legs, throwing herself into his embrace.@@novelbin@@

"Daddy! Wuuu! I was so scared… I missed you so much!" She sobbed, clinging tightly to his neck.

Her round, tear-streaked face pressed against Leon's robe as she continued to whimper.

Leon said nothing, simply holding her close as he gently stroked her hair.

Slowly, her cries quieted, and her fear faded away.

Fiona lifted her head, her eyes shining with relief. "Daddy, you won't leave me again, right?"

Leon looked down at her, his smile warm and reassuring. "Don't worry, Fiona. I promise I'll never leave you again."

"Yay!" Fiona giggled, lifting herself slightly before planting a soft kiss on his cheek. "Daddy, I love you so much… Don't ever leave my side, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, drowsiness washed over her. Unable to fight it, she drifted off to sleep in his arms.

Leon remained still, watching her peaceful face. He ran his fingers through her soft white hair, then gently pinched her cheek.

"Don't worry… I'll always be by your side, my daughter… Always…"

...

In the outside world, the overwhelming holy power radiating from Fiona gradually weakened.

At the same time, the dark sky that loomed over the entire area slowly faded away.

Floating in midair, the middle-aged man watched silently as Fiona's condition returned to normal.

The white glow in her golden eyes dimmed, and the hero's destiny mark on her forehead lost its brilliance.

Finally, when her holy power completely dissipated, Fiona's body began to fall.

But before she could hit the ground, the middle-aged man swiftly caught her in his arms.

"Hmmm…" Fiona let out a faint groan, her eyelids fluttering. Moments later, her eyes opened, revealing a pair of round, innocent golden irises—completely different from before.

Still in a daze, she blinked at the man holding her and unconsciously murmured, "Daddy? Is that you?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and gently pinched her chubby cheek. "I'm not your daddy, Fiona."

Fiona froze at his response, her vision slowly clearing.

In front of her stood a handsome, white-haired, middle-aged man with a blindfold covering both eyes.

"You... Are you that blind uncle from before!?" Fiona exclaimed in disbelief, blinking her innocent eyes.

The middle-aged man: "..."

He let out a small sigh before pinching her tiny nose in feigned annoyance. "Little girl, shouldn't you address your elders more politely?"

Realizing her mistake, Fiona pursed her lips, looking guilty. "I'm sorry, Uncle. I didn't mean it like that."

"Well, never mind," the middle-aged man replied with a gentle smile.

With that, he slowly descended, touching the ground with his right foot first.

Still carrying Fiona in his arms, he walked toward Liliana, Charlotte, Iris, and Stella, who were anxiously waiting.

The moment they saw Fiona awake, relief and joy washed over their faces—especially Iris, whose eyes brimmed with tears.

Before Fiona's unexpected incident, Iris had been with her, running from the assassins. Guilt weighed heavily on her, making her fear that Fiona's condition was somehow her fault.

Stopping a meter away from them, the middle-aged man gently set Fiona down on the ground.

Fiona smiled at her three sisters, about to say something—only to pause as Iris suddenly ran up and hugged her tightly.

Before she could react, Charlotte and Stella quickly followed, wrapping their arms around her as well.

They said nothing, but the tears streaming down their faces spoke volumes about their relief and happiness.

Fiona, though slightly confused, didn't question it. Instead, she simply returned their embrace, a silly smile tugging at her lips.

Meanwhile, Liliana stood off to the side, a deep sense of relief evident on her beautiful face.

She wanted to hug Fiona and apologize, but seeing the three little girls already holding her so tightly, she chose to step back and let them have their moment.

Her gaze then shifted toward the middle-aged man.

Taking a deep breath, Liliana finally lowered her head.

"Thank you for your help," she said sincerely. "If not for you, saving Fiona would have been much more difficult."

Her words were no exaggeration. As she had admitted before, she couldn't guarantee she would have been able to save Fiona on her own.

The holy power Fiona had unleashed was overwhelming—even for her.

Had she insisted on using her demonic power, there was a real possibility that Fiona would have been harmed. And as a mother, that was something she could never accept.

The middle-aged man merely waved his hand and smiled casually.

"You don't need to be so formal, Liliana Crimson. Saving Fiona was simply necessary for me," he replied, his tone vague yet meaningful.

Liliana immediately sensed the weight behind his words, but she couldn't grasp his true intentions.

"Does that mean he came here for Fiona? But why? What connection does he have with her? Could it be because she possesses the power of the heroes?" She pondered, uncertainty clouding her thoughts.

Still, the possibility of him harboring malicious intent toward Fiona was quickly dismissed.

With his unpredictable abilities, Liliana knew she stood no chance against him. If he truly meant harm, he could have hurt Fiona at any moment, and no one would have been able to stop him.

Ignoring Liliana's confusion, the middle-aged man shifted his gaze to Fiona and called out gently, "Fiona, come here for a moment."
