'No, I don't want that. I—I've had enough of his abuse. I just want to be free with my daughter. Why is that so difficult to earn?'
Chloe shuddered out of fear when she imagined all the abuse that she would experience if she was forced to return home. She knew very well that Vincent was angry, and the abuse would 100% turn physical until she breathed no more.
Chloe stared at her daughter who still lowered her head. She gently caressed Mackie's hair, "Dear, I will see what I can do, okay? I hope I can… uh… text him, and ask if he is not busy, so he can call you."
"Daddy is very busy, and he is dealing with his problem right now. So we shouldn't disturb him, and if he refuses… you have to be okay with it, understand?"
"… yes, Mommy…" Mackie nodded weakly. She already knew the outcome because Daddy refused to meet them, which made her really sad.
