"Don't touch!"
Jerlina didn't know where she borrowed her courage from, but she had actually slapped his hand away, stopping him from touching the planter – the planter where she buried her baby he killed.
She wasn't even thinking. She didn't want his murderous hand touching her baby and out of instinct, she actually hit him.
A couple seconds passed and only then her brain registered what she did. Her palm stung by the force she had used on him and through her peripheral vision she could see him staring at his hand, stunned.
I'm finished! He's going to kill me now!
She has seen him fighting five guys at the same time and he bashed the skull of one guy without even batting an eye. She is nothing compared to those guys and it would only take one hit to kill her.
She prepared her heart.
But what if he breaks the planter out of anger?
