I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 413: Heart

Lin Jie's gentle voice rang in Melissa's head as she tried her hardest to blink back tears.

She had resolved herself not to cry anymore on the night she learned of her father's death, but now she couldn't help shedding tears when someone was here to confide in and offer her comfort.

"Boss Lin…" Teary-eyed, Melissa gazed up at Lin Jie and asked cautiously, "Can you bring my father back to life? I would do anything, even if it costs me my own life."

What the heck? Your own life?! Mr. Lin was startled and wondered if this young lady was thinking straight and contemplated taking her own life because of her father's death.

Thus, he quickly shook his head. "A life cannot be exchanged for a life that has been lost. It's just something that's impossible..."

Melissa's anger burned fiercely within her.

Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh. Lying was never a good thing. Joseph was alive and well, yet he had to lie about him being dead. While it was a well-intentioned lie, seeing Melissa with red and swollen eyes made his heart ache a little.

He couldn't help feeling that Joseph's parental methods were just too strict.

"Melissa," Lin Jie encouraged, with a gentle smile and soothing voice. "The dead can't come back to life, but you can believe that miracles can happen in this world."

Melissa immediately looked up, eyes widened as she gazed at Lin Jie.

"Think carefully. What would your father most want to see?" Lin Jie asked while trying to make her see the light.
