Teresa felt like she could barely breathe.
Her small figure knelt on the ground, too terrified to make a sound.
She was afraid Maurice would shoot her dead, but even more terrified that her daddy would leave her forever.
So, all she could do was frantically try to stem her daddy’s bleeding, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Her lips trembled, and it took her ages to muster up a sentence, still too scared to let Maurice hear.
“Daddy... Daddy, please get up... How will I get home alone? You can't scare me like this! Daddy..."
She kept babbling, and as if sensing her, Frederick weakly lifted his eyelids, his eyes bloodshot and dilating.
But still, he tried to reach out to touch Teresa's face, a simple gesture that seemed to drain all his strength.
Teresa sniffled and quickly moved her face closer.
Her daddy's hand was wet and sticky with blood, sparking an unprecedented panic in her!
And Maurice, at some point, had crouched down again, his voice eerily persuasive as he spoke to Teresa:
“Teresa, I’m your daddy. Come to me.”
Maurice's voice nearly scared the soul out of Teresa. She even forgot to cry, her body trembling uncontrollably as she collapsed to the ground.
Fear shone in her wide, tearful eyes as she slowly scooted backward.
“Come here, Teresa.”
“No... I’m scared... you’ll kill me...”
“How could daddy bear to hurt you?”
