"Eva, drink some milk and daddy will take you to eat something delicious, okay?"
Eva was still sobbing. She caught the milk bottle, and put it into her mouth, sucked two mouthfuls and then pulled out. With white milk on the corner of her mouth, she looked at Justin pitifully, her shoulders shaking, giving her intermittent expression, "Daddy ...... Daddy, Eva was... ...caught ...... by a demon, I want daddy, want daddy ...... to change ...... into Superman, to save Eva... ..."
Justin's eyes that had long been red were sore and swollen, "Eva, daddy will definitely protect Eva from now on, no one will be allowed to hurt Eva ever again. Daddy will get rid of any demons and monsters."
When the doctor arrived, he couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Eva covered in bruises, "God damned criminal! How could she be so cruel to a child?"
Justin gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes. He was so angry that he didn't want to say a word, or he would cry out.
Eva raised her unwounded arm to rub Justin's face and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy, Eva is ok. Don’t be sad, Daddy, I don’t hurt. Don’t cry, Daddy, or Eva will be heartbroken ......"
Justin held her tightly. He was not her father, but hearing her words, he felt painful in his heart and said in a trembling voice, "I am just happy to find you, Eva, understand, Eva?"
Eva fell asleep in the arms of Justin, her small hands clutching his shirt and refusing to let go. As soon as she was touched, she would shiver in her dream like she got frightened. He had to pat her back and gently coax her until she quieted down.
Since she was covered with dust, Justin wanted to give her a bath, but he didn't dare to move at all, for her trembling body in her dreams made his heart ache.
Eva did not wake up until twelve at noon in the next day. Justin had remained in a position and did not dare to move a bit. When Eva opened her eyes, he smiled, "Eva, I will take you to take a bath. We can’t go to Mommy these two days. Mommy is sick, if she knows you were hurt by the demon, she will be very sad. When you recover, we go to Mommy, okay? "
