Michael then realized that he was hugging Leah too tightly. He immediately let go and said, "I'm sorry, Leah. It's all Daddy's fault. I'm sorry..."
Then, tears welled up in Michael's eyes.
He lowered his head and quickly wiped the tears off his face so Leah couldn't see them.
Leah quickly said, "Daddy, what's wrong? It's okay. I'm fine. It's just that you hugged me a little too tight. It's okay, Daddy. Why not hug me again? You can hug me as tightly as you want."
Leah thought that what she had said earlier made her dad upset.
Looking at how understanding his daughter was, he couldn't help but tear up again.
He pulled Leah into his arms again but remembered to hug her not too tight.
Leah gently patted Michael on the back with her small hands. She comforted, "It's okay, Daddy. It didn't hurt, really..."
Michael only let Leah go after quite some time.
