She hurriedly closed the door before rushing back to the panic-stricken girl. She gently untied her limbs and her heart ached when she saw the red marks around her wrists and ankles. Who would bear to do this to a child?
"Little girl, how are you? How did you get here?" She pried in the gentlest tone possible.
When she peeled the duct tape of her mouth, the girl burst into tears. "Daddy…"
Zaria wiped her tears in panic. "Don't cry, I will help you find your daddy."
"Do you know your dad's name?" She asked for confirmation. Perhaps she was mistaken but whether or not this was Laia Qin, her parents must be worried sick.
The little girl merely stared at her blankly. Perhaps because she was scared and didn't trust the woman before her, she didn't say a word.
"Do you know who brought you here?" Zaria continued to pry as she tried to lift the girl off the floor.
