Ada fell to the ground and couldn’t even speak clearly. She suddenly said, “Dragon, I’ll kill her now. I’m sorry, I’ll never do it again.”
Hearing her words, Dragon glared at Anna as if he were looking at an ant. For him, killing her was as easy as pie. He said, “We should kill her quietly. And we need to step up patrols these days so the cops won’t find us. “
After that, Dragon looked at Ada indifferently, pointing to the cabin next to it and said, “Leave this to Mike. Ada, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to dare to order my gang. Don’t you ever go to my room again! Since you like to put women in that room, you can stay there for the rest of your life!”
Ada cried and fell at the Dragon’s feet, but he had no mercy for her. He kicked her hard and quickly returned to his room. Ada stood up and followed him.
Meanwhile, Josh shuddered and stood up, feeling relieved. He then asked Mike,”What are you going to do with her?”
Hearing that, Anna’s face turned as pale as a ghost. She didn’t know if Mike was a good guy or not. However, even the good guys might have killed people on this island.
Mike looked at Anna coldly and said, “I’m going to take her to the mountains and get her killed and buried. Let’s go.”
Josh said, “Why don’t you leave it to me? I’ll have to teach her a lesson because she hit me.”
Mike said, looking up at the second floor, “Dragon ordered me to handle her, not you. If you want to do that for me, you can ask him yourself.”
As Mike was speaking, there came the sound of a leather whip striking someone and Ada’s screams.
Josh shuddered and said, “Forget it! I’ve just gotten out of trouble, and I can’t risk it again because of this woman. Take her away!”
Mike let out a laugh and took Anna away. They kept walking through the woods. It was almost dark when they arrived at a stream. And Anna saw that there was a grave with a cross on it.
Her heart was racing, and she thought in depression, You want to drown me here and bury me, don’t you? Fuck! I’ve never imagined that I’ll die in this way. If I die, who will look after Tammy for me? I know Wayne will be responsible for raising Tammy and Matthew. But God knows whether there will be another “Ada” who tries to harm the kids so that she can be with Wayne!
Mike walked alone across the stream to the grave, removing the grass away from it. Anna felt it was weird. After a brief pause, she asked, “Is this your wife’s grave?”
“That’s not the question you should be asking,” Mike growled.
Anna shut up and thought, What’s wrong with you? Do you have to get your wife’s permission before you kill someone? Can’t you just hurry up and get it over with? I don’t want to suffer anymore!
Suddenly, she heard a little girl say, “Don’t you touch my mother!”
The voice echoed through the peaceful woods. When Anna looked up, she noticed a skinny little girl running out.
“I said I’m the only one who can touch my mom’s grave!” she yelled as she ran to the grave and pushed Mike hard.
Mike sat down on the ground. He didn’t seem pissed but he looked sad. After a while, he patted the dirt on his clothes and said to Anna, “Let’s go.”
Anna looked at them and decided she couldn’t go with him. She asked the little girl, “Do you like the toy I gave you?”
The girl froze and blinked at her. Mike angrily yanked Anna’s arm and said, “Don’t talk to her. Go now!”
Anna continued to pray in her heart that God would save her. The little girl then stopped them and asked Mike, “Who is she? Where are you going to take her?”
“Stop asking that!”
The little girl ran up to them and shouted, “That’s what you told me before my mother died! Leave her here!”
“No!”
“Then don’t come back here to see me. I’m going to have to leave this hellhole sooner or later!”
Mike frowned.
Anna said, “I can’t run away for now, so maybe you can kill me later. Let me live a few more days and take care of this kid. It won’t do you no good.”
As Mike was hesitant, the little girl took Anna’s arm and said, “Come with me.”
The girl led Anna through the woods to an isolated cave. Anna followed the girl into the narrow cave and found that it was actually well-furnished.
The furniture there was all exquisite woodwork, with a bed, a table, a chair and a mirror. Anna noticed some wooden ducklings in the bathtub and assumed they were the ones Mike had carved that day.
Mike clearly loved his daughter, but Anna couldn’t understand why the girl seemed to despise her father so much.
“My name is Tracy. What’s yours?” said the girl. She didn’t seem to be scared of Anna.
Anna was relieved that she still had a few more days, and she smiled and said, “I’m Anna. Thank you for saving me.”
“You’re very welcome. But I can only save you for the time being. After a while, he’ll still kill you. He’s just one of Dragon’s obedient dogs, and he will do whatever Dragon wants.”
“He’s your father, isn’t he?” Anna froze.
“I wish that he’s not,” Tracy said, frowning, “He’s not worthy of being my father or my mother’s husband. He stood by and watched as those bastards abused my mother, but he didn’t dare to say anything or do anything about it!”
Hearing that, Anna felt conflicted emotions and sympathy for Tracy.
Then Tracy picked up two toys from the windowsill and said, “The little toys you gave me are awesome. When I opened them, I found these two things. What are these? I followed the instructions and made two monsters.”
“They’re not monsters; they’re Bumblebee and Spider-Man,” Anna said with a smile.
“What exactly are they?”
“They are both heroes. And…”
…
And Tracy listened intently as Anna told the story of the Marvel characters.
“How old were you when you came here?” After finishing telling the stories, Anna asked.
“About four or five. I don’t remember,” Tracy said blankly, “I’m going to have to leave here eventually anyway! But no one talks to me except for the box.”
“Which box?”
Tracy proudly displayed her box to Anna and exclaimed, “I always talk to it when I’m bored. To be honest, I don’t understand anything the box says. But I think you’ll understand because you’re from outside.”
Anna smiled as she looked at the old radio. She had an idea and asked, “Where can you hear the box talking?”
Tracy pointed to the sky outside and said, “I can hear it when I climb to the top of West Mountain! Is this because the gods all live in higher places?” She referred to a hill to the northwest as “West Mountain.”
“Do you always bring this radio to that mountain?” Anna asked.
