Chapter 91: Derick’s Visit
Liam remembered the oddly high-security measures in Rory’s grandmother’s house. Till then, he thought that those security measures are to protect Agnes Roberts who is mysterious.
But what if something happened in the past, that made Agnes up the security measures of her house? What if it was to protect Rory?
But what happened to Rory?
His mother... No matter what he hears from others, the first image that comes to his mind when he thinks of his mother is her lying lifeless in a tub of blood in the bathroom.
I won’t let my Cherry have that ending. I am not going to leave her side!
"You’re nothing like my mother, Cherry. You’re not..."
"What if...like your mother...when I was sleeping...someone..." Rory couldn’t even imagine that possibility.
"Oh, shut up!" Liam bit her lips to stop her from speaking further. "You were what...12 or 13 when you started getting that dream. Come on, Cherry... If such a thing happened, that guy would be incarcerated and probably be killed by the state. Your grandmother wouldn’t have let him live in peace. So..."
"If my grandmother loved me, she would have scorched the land that man’s shadow falls after making him stop breathing. But, my grandma doesn’t love me enough to even smile at me, Fizzy..." Rory smoked wryly.
"But her dignity is tied to your wellbeing, Rory. She wouldn’t take it lightly if someone lays their hands on you. Youre her family. And... I think she loves you... In her own~"
"No, she does not, Fizzy. I am sure of it," Rory sat up.
Liam wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. He didn’t know what to say to her. He was scared for her.
