The person on the phone clearly sensed her agitation, but eventually said, "Literally."
"Are you just brushing me off?! Were you never planning to help me at all?! How can you not be able to do it, why can't you save her?! Weren't you supposed to be very powerful?!"
Keira Leaf yelled at the person on the other side of the phone, her voice growing weaker and more choked with each shout.
Tears streamed down her face in an instant. Was Alice really just waiting to die?
Why?
Why did this young girl have to bear so much injustice from the moment she was born? Why did she have to perish at such a young and blossoming age?
Listening to her shallow sobs, the phone line remained silent but did not hang up.
"Joshua Sulliven, please, can I beg you? I'll do anything you want. Can you save Alice?" Keira Leaf pleaded in a low voice.
