Ning Mei's eyes welled with tears, but she force herself not to cry. She did this not because she was trying to stay strong, but because she is afraid of what will happen to her.
She bit her lower lip and quietly stares at the man sitting down.
If she were to cry again, she knows that he will not hesitate to kill her. Even though he had on a phantom mask, she can see the look of pure hatred in his eyes that were visible to view.
"Hui, look at what you did. Your words terrified our guest."
From the door, the man wearing a gas mask spoke in a sarcastic tone. He leisurely strides to where Ning Mei is and squats down to be at eye level with her.
His head wearing the mask lowers to look at her and he stuck out a hand to her.
"Don't be afraid. We aren't going to hurt you. We just want to talk. Here, let me help you up."
Hearing the man's calm voice, Ning Mei unknowingly place her hand over his palm and with his help, she sits on the bed.
Dear readers,
Sincerely apologies for the lack of updates. My work place has reopened for business, so I am no longer working from home. However, if things go well, I might be able to permanently work from home after next week. If so, I can focus on updating this novel better.
