Chapter 545 I Wont Hurt You (2/2)

For now, Sam focused his goal into finding Beryl first. He had to make sure that the little girl was safe.

...

Meanwhile, Beryl wandered around the city, trying to find Jacob. She went here to see her father, and she had to fulfill that goal. However, she didn't know where she could find Jaco

struggled once more. Because of this, Jack held her into his arms to stop her.

”It's okay! I won't hurt you!” He held her tight in case she ran away but also enough not to hurt her. He said again as Beryl won't stop. ”I'm Jack! I'm your Uncle Jack! You know me, Beryl! There's nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. I won't hurt you. I promise.”

”Put me down! Let me go!” Beryl yelled and kept thrashing around. She ignored whatever this man said and bit his hand. No matter the case, she couldn't trust anyone now, and the pain Yilia inflicted on her just made her lose her mind with other people.

”Ouch!” Despite the pain of the bite, Jack still held on and didn't even loosen his grip on Beryl.

Some passers-by stopped to look at the scene, and Jack knew that the more Beryl thrashed and cried, the more people would be attracted to crowd over. Before any more people would notice them, Jack walked away with Beryl in his arms and took refuge behind a little hotel.

Once they were out of sight, Jack talked again, ”Beryl, you don't have to be afraid. I won't hurt you, I promise. Tell Uncle Jack what happened. Why are you here and alone? Where is your mommy?”

”Let me go! Put me down!”

Beryl stopped struggling as she felt even more exhausted than before. She broke down and started to cry. Her eyes immediately started swelling. She kept her defenses even though she wasn't struggling anymore, just like a little animal trying to protect herself. Jack was about to talk again when she yelled, ”All of you are bad guys! All of you want to hurt me!”

”Beryl! Please!” Jack frowned in sadness and felt extremely sorry for her as soon as Beryl bawled into fits of cries. He sighed and then said, ”Believe me, I'm not one of those bad guys. I won't hurt you. You are safe with me. Think about it, Beryl. I know I can't be called a nice guy, but I have never hurt you since we met, haven't I?”

Then again, he did hurt Emily before, but he didn't do it on purpose, and he swore to God that he would never hurt Beryl or even think about hurting this little girl.

Even though he threatened Emily before with it, deep inside he meant nothing of it, and that all those were just empty threats without the intention of really acting on them.
