Monica hid in an old building near the back door, hugging Madeline, who was still holding on tightly to her body because she was so scared.
"Daddy ... Daddy is bleeding," Madeline whispered, looking up at her mother.
"Patience, love ... daddy will be fine ... there must be someone who has helped him. We hide here for a while until the criminals leave," Monica softly stared at Madeline as she stroked her soft hair. "You have to keep quiet, okay?"
Madeline nodded then buried her face into her mother's chest.
Monica fell silent shakily, thinking about how Raymond was doing and also trembling in fear of the ferocity of Gio who was so eager to catch her.
"MONICA!"
Monica gasped when she heard someone calling her name so loudly and close like she was on the right side of the house. Her heart was beating faster and her body was shaking more and more hugging her daughter tightly. 'Oh my God, what should I do?'
