EVEN THOUGH MOTHER GAVE ME THAT THING to make the pain numb, it still hurt to walk. My shoes will all be tainted with blood, and she won't be able to hide that, as she does with my clothes, because the wounds in my foot will keep opening. Doesn't she know that?
She still hadn't unlocked the doors of the study, which meant that I wasn't allowed to get out just yet. Sensing her gaze piercing through my back, I turned my eyes to meet hers. What is she planning to do now?
"You still seem to be in pain," is she joking now?
"Yes, mother!" She came closer to me and grabbed my jaw with way too much strength, then a hateful smile appeared on her face.
"Hadn't I advised you not to say anything when I do not allow you to, little whore?" Gulping, I instinctively look away for a second. "And now, you are disrespecting me by not looking in my eyes, hm."
