In his moment of desperation, he grabbed Laura's arm and forcibly pulled her away. However, the force was too strong, causing her to fall to the ground, her back crashing onto the broken pieces of the vase.
Laura ignored the pain in her waist as she crawled forward, mixing with the glass shards and desperately clutching the last doll's body.
The glass fragments, mixed with dirt, pierced into her palms.
She didn't feel the pain. Her hands pressed tightly against the doll, holding it to her chest as she wailed uncontrollably.
Darren stood frozen, staring at the doll that had fallen to the ground, a flicker of panic passing through his eyes.
"La... Laura..."
He reached out, just about to touch her, but was stopped when Melanie grabbed his hand.
She threw herself into Darren's arms, crying uncontrollably. Her face streaked with tears as if she could hardly breathe.
"Darren, it hurts so much... She's trying to kill me... She's gone completely crazy, I’m going to sue her!"
Darren's earlier panic and guilt melted away when he saw Melanie in such a pitiful state.
