Kendric holds Anne tightly. He presses his stubble cheek against her hot little face. His voice is gentle as if the girl in front of him was his most precious person.
"How could I kill your baby? She's safe in your stomach. No one dares to hurt him! You'll have a beautiful baby in seven months! You're right. You must be a good mother. Well, font worry, I'm by your side, don't be afraid."
Anne knows that nothing will happen to the baby. She has no strength. The struggle just now consumed all her strength.
Kendric is an asshole, but she feels she can trust Kendric's assurance. Kendric says he will protect her and her baby. He can certainly do it.
Anne raises her face to Kendric. She gives a big smile. Her hands clutch at Kendric's shirt. Her voice is dependent and grateful.
"Kendric, it's very kind of you. Thank you!"
Kendric hears Anne's words and his heart trembles slightly. Anne thanks him for the first time.
