The Villain's Little Cat

160 Explain

Time seemed to have stopped.

Kate looked at her father and then opened her mouth with difficulties, calling him with the most familiar word she had used in her entire life, “Dad!”

Her heart trembled.

At this moment, she was afraid.

Afraid that her father couldn’t recognize her anymore.

Her form had completely changed, no longer the previous 21 year old self but had turned into a little girl.

But she missed her father.

She missed him so much that she just wanted to go towards him without a care of the world.

Kate’s Father looked at Kate and smiled.

.....

“Kate.” Kate’s father bent down and opened his arm, welcoming his daughter.

At this moment, Kate didn’t care whether she was acting childishly or whatever. What she wanted was to call her father and came to him. Running towards her father, Kate threw her body towards his embrace.

She missed him so much.

In the past, she always liked to play with her father. Even if he was sometime a bit harsh to her and punish her from time to time, she knew that it was simply because he cared for her.

Thus, she missed her father greatly.

“Dad, Dad,” Kate called out.

Calling her father, whom she couldn’t meet in the past.

Rather than coming to her father as a cat, being a little kid was more acceptable. At least, in some aspect, she would be able to explain more to her father.

“Yes, Kate.” Kate’s father hugged his daughter deeply, feeling the warm that he had missed so much. Her voice and figure had changed, but he could never forget that she’s his daughter, the daughter he had raised for more than two decades.

He didn’t know how he recognize her, but he had the feelings that she’s indeed his daughter.

This feeling was very strong.

And when Kate called him father, he knew very well that Kate is his daughter, the daughter he loved greatly.

At this moment, he didn’t care how she turned into a little kid anymore and only felt happy that his daughter is safe.

Only the Heaven knew how much he despaired when he heard that his daughter was missing. In this life, he loved his wife and daughter so much.

Even though they said that his daughter is safe, it could never replace the moment when he saw her for himself.

The two of them hugged for a bit.

Kate then released herself and wiped the tear that had unknowingly formed on her eyes. She felt a bit embarrassed for crying when she was already an adult, so she quickly erased all the traces.

Even though she missed her father, she still felt that she was acting a bit too childishly.

Kate’s Father laughed a bit. Looking at his daughter who looked like his wife a lot, his eyes softened. “Where have you been all this time, Kate?”

“I’m here...” Kate bit her lips and looked at her father. She was seriously considering how to explain this strange phenomenon to her father.

It would be really hard to accept that their children had turned into a cat...

“Here?”

“I... Uh, how do I explain it?” Kate didn’t know what to say and tugged her father’s sleeve. “Make an earth barrier and call mom?”

She didn’t want others to know about this. Even if this was a secluded place because other people wouldn’t stay near this ruins of the Research Institute, Kate didn’t want to take any risk.

“Okay.” Kate’s Father moved to the door once more as Kate opened the space barrier. He pulled Kate’s Mother outside.

“What is it....” Kate’s Mother stopped when she saw Kate in front of her. Her eyes widened as her mouth opened wide in surprise.

She turned to look at her husband who nodded to her and then rushed forward to hug Kate and cried loudly.

“Kate, Kate, my good daughter!”

If not for the space barrier, it was estimated that everyone will definitely look in this direction because of how loud it is. Kate’s mother felt very distressed when she saw that her child had turned into a little kid again.

But at the same time, she felt immense relief that her daughter is still alive.

Swish!

Soon, the earth barrier was formed all around them. It blocked everyone’s sight if there were anyone nearby.

“So, where have you been, Kate?”

“I was by Kyle’s side.” Kate took off her hat, showing her cat ears. She didn’t want to hide the truth from her father. Even if it might be hard to accept, she just wished for him to know.

It might be a bit strange for some people, but for Kate, she trusted her father greatly.

He will never harm her.

Granted that his worldview will be different from her because of the large generation gap, but Kate knew that no matter what her father did, he will never put her in the harm way.

He only wished the best for her.

Because of that, Kate wished to tell him the truth, no matter how hard it was to accept.

Seeing that white cat ear, Kate’s father was stunned and trembled a bit. Even though he had heard that there were some people who experienced some strange mutation and become a half, he would never expect that his own daughter would be the same.

The thought of the experiments that had been conducted so far towards them, Kate’s father felt distressed when he thought of Kate’s gene changing. Because of the change, the researchers had said that there might be things that could change forever and would affect their generation.

He couldn’t believe that his daughter is the same.

“Kyle? That professor?” Kate’s Mother was shocked. “How did he find you?”

“Uh... don’t be surprised, ok?” Kate looked at her parents and struggled before sighing. She didn’t know what she was supposed to do, so all she could do was to show them what she had become.

Poof!

Kate disappeared and what replaced her was the little white cat on the ground. Both Kate’s Father and Kate’s Mother were staring at the cat.

“Meow.”
