Chapter 394 A Fragile Life (1/2)
Somehow even after hearing that Beryl didn't feel relieved, not one bit. She sensed that what Tina said a few moments back about wanting to gouge her eyes out was how she really thought. She just said it out aloud but for some reason took it back and wanted to retrain her thoughts for the time being...
Now almost too scared of losing her eyes, Beryl could hardly control her emotions any longer. Her big eyes filled up with tears, but she still tried her level best to hold back her fears in a bid to avoid annoying the evil-minded woman standing across her.
'I want to go home...
Mommy and Daddy, where are you? I'm so terribly scared. Please come and save me!
This woman is a wretched witch! If you don't come soon enough to save me, you will lose your favorite daughter, ' Beryl thought in despair just hoping her parents heard her silent prayer.
”Come on, you cute little rabbit. Don't you cry now,” Tina consoled her in a soft tone as she wiped Beryl's tears away with her slender fingers and with one swift movement held the little girl in her arms. She comforted in a motherly tone, ”I was just kidding. You're so beautiful and lovely. How could I have the heart to impair your beauty and make you suffer?”
Beryl remained in her arms quietly and obediently, but her body was completely stiff and deep in her heart, she felt like Tina's gentleness was actually on the contrary like a poisonous snake wrapping her up in her embrace while raising its head, waiting for a chance to kill her.
”As long as you are subservient, I will treat you well and make sure you are not in harm's way.” Tina touched her head and put her down, and continued, ”Take it easy. You can play with the rabbit.”
As soon as Beryl's feet touched the ground beneath them, she sprinted like a little rabbit, maintaining a wide distance from Tina.
Tina paid no attention to her behaviour. Instead, she just plucked some grass and began to feed the rabbit by her feet. At this moment, she looked fairly calm and composed.
Beryl took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, 'Daddy and Mommy will come and save me soon from this situation. I need to remain calm and strong! Beryl, you are a good girl, and you will be just fine. I'm pretty good. I will never give up hope.'
Beryl fed the rabbits with grass with affection, and accidentally, cast a look at Tina who was now doing something cruel, which petrified her and now her face suddenly turned pale and pupils dilated with disbelief.
Tina was squeezing a white rabbit's fragile little neck in a rough manner.
”What are you doing to it?” Beryl screamed out in the poor animal's defence, and quickly rushed to her, trying to remove the frail dying rabbit out from her hand. ”Let it go!” she yelled.
