Chapter 802
The sky was getting darker, and Sheila had been kneeling in the yard reading for two hours.
The torment she endured was far beyond what she had imagined, a thousand times worse!
As she progressed through the pages, not only did her knees ache, but her throat also grew dry, her voice hoarse, and the lashes on her back, untreated, grew increasingly painful

At night, the occasional barking of farm dogs coupled with the sound of rain falling on the tiles and Sheila’s hoarse recitation, created an unexpectedly harmonious melody.

Elliot sat obediently behind her, skillfully massaging her shoulders and neck.
