Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 54

Tia looks at the angel like sister in front of her. Her fear grows deeper. She turns around and walks slowly toward the fireplace. She tiptoes and her little hand reaches out to the picture hanging on the fireplace. When she makes eye contact with the picture, her tears drop, and then she walks towards the basement step by step.

"That's good girl. I will let you know when it is dinner time."

When the servant Fiona comes in, she didn't see Tia, so she asks carefully, "Young lady, where is Miss Tia?"

"Tia is sleeping in the room. She refused to take medicine just now and I scolded her. I think she is angry now. Don't bother her now."

Fiona takes a sigh of relief and smiles. "I've never seen you scold at anyone before, young lady. Miss Tia's temper is also uncertain. You've been suffering for years."

"It doesn't matter," says the woman with a soft smile. "By the way, Fiona, have you booked the air ticket for me?"

"It's all fixed. Tomorrow afternoon's flight." Fiona nods quickly, "as for Miss Tia’s illness, don't know when she will get better after seeing so many psychologists for years. I hope you can help her find a solution when you go to China this time."

"It will be OK. I’ll just go back to work. I’ve missed some of my friends for a long time."

The woman lowers her head and takes a sip of coffee, glances at the domestic entertainment news on one side of the notebook, "during my absence, please take care of Tia."

No one can see her eyes filled with viciousness and jealousy, at the moment when she bowed her head.

In the dark basement, a little girl looks like a doll is holding a broken doll in her hand, and she is shivering in the corner. In front of her, there is a picture of the old man. The black and white picture in the dim yellow light gets more and more creepy. The arc around the corner of old man’s mouth is like a curse. The fear makes the little girl cry loudly.

She buries her head between her knees and holds her arms, after crying a bit, and a sound of opening and closing the door suddenly occurs. The slippers wipe off the ground, leaving behind a series of deadly steps.

"Tia, be obedient."

"No... No, Tia is obedient, Tia listens... "

"How can a good child cry?"

"hmmm Tia is not crying Tia is not... " As she cries, she shrinks into the corner. The floor is clean and almost spotless but the woman seems to dislike this place, and she looks disgusted holding a corner of her skirt.

She takes out the needle from the closet next to her and approaches the little girl step by step. "Come on, Tia is ill. Sister wants to help Tia fix it."

"Don't… sister… Tia… Tia is afraid of pain. "

"It is not painful. Tia will get better only with acupuncture."

The woman seems to lose her patience at last. She grabs the brown curled horse tail and drags her to the ground. The needle in her hand is pierced into the girl's back fiercely. The whole basement echoes the girl's frightened crying, which sounds heartbreaking.

Don’t know how long has it been, the woman seems to have had enough fun. She gets up and claps her hands and cleans off the almost nonexistent dust. "OK, Tia, now you can sleep in peace and go back to the room with me."

The girl in the corner keeps twitching, the saliva and snot from crying stuck together, the beautiful dress on her becomes dirty, and her eyes are empty, like a marionette, without any trace of struggle, only shrinks when her sister's hand approaches, but without she didn’t escape.

"That's a good girl."

When the woman holds Tia in her arms and goes back room, Fiona comes in with dinner and sighs helplessly when she sees young lady is changing clothes for Tia.

"Is Miss Tia ill again?"

"I think so, I don't think she'll be able to eat. Cook some porridge so that she can eat it when she wakes up." The woman's eyes are full of pity, as if the person who just abused in the basement was not her.

Fiona nods. "Well, you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it. You go dinner first."

"ok,"
