"Kai, go help her up," said the only woman of the trio.
The younger man nodded and approached Yan Shu, who promptly flinched and tried to back away. She couldn't take it anymore. Not only her mother but the whole world seemingly wanted to hurt her.
Noticing her reaction, Kai paused."It's okay sweetie," said the woman with a smile. She pulled Kai back and approached herself. "We're not going to hurt you. I'm Sara, that one is Renji," she said pointing to the middle-aged man, "and this one is our son," she pointed to the younger man.
Yan Shu turned less wary at the sight of the woman. "Y-y-you're really not going to hurt me?" she stammered out the words.
