Raising her eyes, Tessa Caldwell met a pair of deep, penetrating eyes.
She unabashedly displayed her joy, hugging him like a child — fragile and helpless: "Honey, I was bullied."
The moment she saw Faye, an inexplicable surge of bitterness welled up in her heart, making her feel wronged and on the verge of tears.
"Who hit you?" Faye squinted slightly, his gaze fierce and terrifying, as he reached out to gently caress her face.
It was the spot where Dad Caldwell had slapped her earlier, leaving a faint red mark.
Tessa Caldwell pulled his hand down, then rubbed her own face: "Let's go home first, we can talk when we get back."
Hugging Faye made her feel much better, as if the grievances and injustice she had suffered had been vented out, leaving her no longer helpless or sad.
This magical feeling made her realize that such scenes had occurred many times before, hence their quick healing effect.
