When morning ca, I was surprised to find how much Dorothy was sticking to Rose.
After what happened yesterday, they had gone to bed together.
And when they ca out this morning, there were red sacks that were on Dorothy's face.
It was clear that she had let out all the emotions that she had been holding back this entire ti.
However, it wasn't as if this was a bad thing.
The emotions that had been in her heart could be considered a burden that she had finally freed herself from. As such, she would be able to move on from this and would be a new person in the future.
But after she shared her emotion, it seed that there was a clear preference now.
Instead of coming to when she saw , it didn't seem like she wanted to leave Rose's side.
It reached a point where it seed like Lily was jealous of her.
The way that they competed was almost like siblings that were fighting over a parent's love, so it wasn't as if they took things too far.
The way that my three daughters hung around Dorothy, it was as if they had already taken her as their new sister.
Kids really did adapt quickly as they were already able to accept Dorothy after just a single day.
It even seed like they didn't mind becoming little sisters since Dorothy was clearly older than them in terms of ntality. Though in terms of actual size, they weren't that different since my daughters grew quite fast.
In a few years, it might even be Dorothy that seed like the younger sister.
"My daughters really are kind." That was the only thing that I got out of this in the end.
I didn't mind being a doting father since it ant that I could spoil my daughters.
But there was sothing that I did need from Dorothy.
"Let's go and talk to the researchers today. I'm sure that they're already getting impatient after setting up everything."
After I said this, Dorothy looked at as if I was tearing her away from her family.
Though just a day ago, she had hung onto as if I was the person that she was the closest to.
The reason that they had followed us back in the first place was all because they wanted to study Dorothy's condition. That was why they had already set themselves up the mont that they arrived.
Since it was Puffer that ca with us, that ant that they were able to use her lab that we had set up for her previously.
But it really didn't seem like Dorothy wanted to go.
It seed like she wanted to stay with Rose the entire day with the way that she was hanging back.
When I saw her like this, there was one thing that ca to mind.
"Children really like their mothers better than their fathers…"
This was sothing that I was afraid of happening with my daughters and it was already happening with this new daughter that I had adopted.
However, it wasn't as if I could just leave her be.
I was certain that if they didn't see her soon, they would be coming for her.
After all, the main reason that they had co was just to study Dorothy.
Seeing this, Rose said, "Just go and co back soon. I'm sure that they won't keep you that long."
Dorothy didn't seem happy to hear this, but she was compliant this ti as she ca over to my side.
With the way that she looked at , it really felt as if I was taking a child from her mother.
Though I knew that the words that Rose said weren't just for Dorothy alone.
I knew that these words were also for .
She was telling not to keep her there for that long and to stop them if they wanted to keep her longer than intended.
I gave her a nod with a faint smile before taking Dorothy away.
When we arrived at the lab, I found that there were a bunch of researchers that were just standing there as if they were waiting for sothing. The mont that they saw us co in, it was as if they suddenly ca back to their senses and ca over to look at Dorothy.
The mont that this happened, she imdiately went behind .
This wasn't sothing that Dorothy would have done before.
She would have moved back a bit, but she never would have moved behind like this.
This showed that she was slowly opening her heart. This showed that just like how she started taking Rose as her mother, she was taking as her father.
Since she was giving this trust, I raised my hand to stop all of them from approaching.
Even if they were excited, it wasn't as if they had lost all control of themselves. Especially since they saw raising my hand like this to tell them to stop.
The prestige that I had ca to play at this mont as I was able to stop them.
But they looked at as if they were waiting for to do sothing about this.
Even if they were waiting, that didn't an that they didn't want to take a closer look at Dorothy.
So I just said, "What kind of tests are you planning on doing today?"
"We were thinking about doing a simple diagnostic to see what her condition is as a start, but then we would have to think of different things that we can test."
"Just run the diagnostic today. We have to be back before dinner tonight."
All of the researchers looked at with strange looks when they heard this, but I looked back at them with a straight look on my face as if I wasn't ssing around.
So in the end, the only thing that they could do was nod in agreent.
I could feel a small hand holding my shirt tightly after I said this.
