Chương 36: Mother whose hands are tied

Noticing the red drop of blood on the ground, Eve felt her soul slip out of her body. 

It was as if everything had slowed down when she saw Lady Annalise angrily making her way to where she was. At the same time, Allie's hand inched closer to the drop of blood, similar to a small child whose hand reached out to a candy sold at the merchant's shop. 

Eve quickly dropped the flowers from her hand, and it fell on the ground, covering the drop of blood. 

"What are you doing sitting there on the ground, Allie?!" Lady Annalise looked furious, and her glare shifted at Eve. 

Hearing her mother's voice, the little girl turned distracted from the blood, and she quickly stood up. Like an obedient child, she held her hands in front of her.
