Her voice was so weak that she couldn't speak. All she could do was just cry and cry. This point, when Annabel saw that it was getting out of hand, she got very scared and spoke to her like a mother would speak to her crying child.
"Sweetheart, please tell me what happened. You know your sister loves you right?"
"Yes."
She nodded.
"Sister."
She called Annabel the second time.
With a whisper, she hugged Annabel so tightly and tried to compose herself.
"keep calm. keep calm. don't cry. Please wipe Your Tears and tell me what happened."
Annabelle tried to withdraw Mara from embrace but Mara had held her so tightly that she wouldn't want to let go of Annabel. Annabel got so confused and concluded that for Mara to cry this way, something serious had really happened to her.
'Who knows what that Deon had done to her!' She said inwardly.
