Thomas immediately buried his head in Emma's arms, which softened Emma's heart. However, Robert Thomson rudely interrupted, "No! You need to have your own room. Come with me!"
Thomas didn't move, and Robert raised his fist threateningly, "Are you coming or not?"
"Robert!" Emma feared that he would scold Thomas. Robert yanked the child out of her arms, but didn't use too much force, just enough to pull him out. Without further ado, he picked Thomas up and walked out.
"Mom, Mom, save me!" Thomas thought he was going to be dragged into a dark room and abused. His eyes immediately filled with tears. Emma knew that Robert wouldn't really hurt a child, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for Thomas's pitiful look and added, "Don't scare him!"
