"Get back here now!" the man roared furiously.
Through the phone, the girl's sobs could be heard, "Mommy, I want Mommy, waaaah... I want Mommy..."
"Shut it! Cry again and I'll beat you senseless! You're nothing but a burden!"
The woman was terrified, tears streaming down her face, "Don't scare Maria, I'm coming right now, don't be afraid, Mommy's on her way, honey... beep beep beep..."
The call ended abruptly.
Wiping away her tears, the woman hurriedly hailed a cab and left the hospital.
Half an hour later, she arrived at a rundown, neglected apartment complex.
The complex had almost no greenery, bicycles, scooters, and tricycles were scattered everywhere in disarray.
Stumbling, the woman made her way into a building and climbed up to the third floor.
Just as she was about to use her key, the door suddenly swung open.
A tall man stood in the doorway, glaring at her!
The woman looked at him in terror, too frightened even to breathe.
From inside, her daughter's voice could be heard, "Mommy, Mommy..."
"Maria, Mommy's here, oh!"
The man grabbed her hair and dragged her into the apartment, slamming the door behind them with a loud bang!
He started with a vicious kick!
The woman knocked over a small coffee table in the living room, letting out a sharp cry of pain.
The man approached her and slapped her several times, then started beating her mercilessly,
"How many times have I told you, her condition is incurable, no more hospital visits! Not a penny more should be wasted on her! Did you take my words for granted?!"
Crying, the woman pleaded for mercy, "Stop, please, stop..."
Her daughter, huddled in a corner, cried out, "Mommy, I want Mommy, waaaah..."
