More stones rained down, and from the helicopter, the two of them watched the Parker relatives scramble in terror, laughing until their stomachs hurt.
I could only throw myself over Margaret, using my own body to shield her and taking several hits on my back.
Sharp stones scraped my cheek, and warm blood immediately streamed down my face.
Margaret’s eyes welled up with tears as she gently touched my face.
“Good child, you’ve suffered so much. It’s the Parker Family that wronged you. That beast doesn’t deserve you.”
She handed me the phone.
“Call your father—tell them to come save us.”
I shook my head, eyes red.
I had tried at the start, but Ethan had apparently cut off all communication signals to the outside world.
Right now, my phone could only dial his number.
Before I could say more, Lily came tumbling toward me, crying hysterically:
“Sister-in-law! It’s bad—Uncle Robert can’t hold on!”
My mind buzzed loudly.
Uncle Robert was the most respected elder in the family! He had always treated me well, teaching me hand-in-hand how to handle family affairs. He could not be allowed to die!
I rushed over and saw Robert’s face turning purple, his lips pale, clutching his chest and convulsing in pain.
