Chapter 1608
Julie warily watched John from a safe distance. After a while, his eyes remained closed and it did not seem like he
had woken up. She heaved a sigh of relief and retreated to the couch with a faint smile hung on her lips.
She threw on a blanket and planned to nap for a while. When she lay down on the couch and kicked her legs out to
the other edge of the couch, her feet brushed against something. It was Caprice.
Caprice was sprawled out over the other edge of the couch, sleeping soundly and comfortably.
Julie scowled at the mere sight of the child as she deliberately kicked her legs out again and jabbed at Caprice with
the soles of her feet.
She made sure to temper her strength at just the right amount so Caprice would not wake up.
She was not going to hurt the child, she was merely doing it for her satisfaction.
Caprice only groaned and mumbled in her sleep but did not wake up.
Julie chuckled.
‘You little brat, just wait! I’ll make your life miserable once you grow up!‘
With that, she shut her eyes and got some sleep.
The night was tranquil and peaceful. After some time passed, a figure who had been spying on the room the entire
time withdrew from the door and carefully shut the door close.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was Emerence. She had been standing outside for several hours, keeping an eye on what had been going on
inside.
After she shut the door, she let out a long and deep sigh and tapped against her chest to calm her restlessness.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Sherry remained jailed inside the house in the middle of the forest.
It was morning. She woke up on the couch just like she had done the past few days.
The bodyguards had breakfast inside their cars before returning to their post.
Sherry had not had even a bite of food. The only thing that passed her stomach was
water.
After she drank more water, she went back to lie on the couch.
The living room was clean and cozy, but no matter how much she tossed and turned around on the couch, she still
felt terrible.
She was hungry.
Terribly hungry.
She would eat anything, even if it was bread with mold on it!
Her arms were beginning to irritate her as well.
Scabs began to form on the burned region which made her feel unbearably itchy.
Soon, noon rolled around.
A car drove into the yard outside, someone was delivering food to the bodyguards again. Sherry gathered what
strength she had left and dragged her feet outside.
She had to get her hands on some food!
Her hands had only barely grazed the container when the bodyguards showed up behind her out of nowhere and
seized her. She had no strength to fight them off and was thrown back into the house like a lifeless mannequin.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
They proceeded to eat outside.
She banged against the door and pleaded stubbornly, “Hey, could you guys please give me some food? Just split
one tray with me.”
She was completely ignored.
Her hunger was draining her willpower at this point, she whimpered and begged,” Please, just a bite, anything at
all…”
They still ignored her.
She was completely drained by this point and slumped with her back against the door while continuously chanting,
“Give me some food… some food… a bite… just a bite… food…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer repeated chanting sounded like an ominous occult prayer, it was to a point
where it was making the bodyguards uncomfortable. They soon lost their appetite to
eat.
They exchanged looks with each other.
They were thinking the same thing: Should we spare her some food?
One of them stated, “Better not, Master Stockton had stated very clearly that we’re not supposed to give her
anything to eat at all, not even a bite.”
They sighed weakly, there was not much they could do. They quickly finished their food.
After they were finished, they put the plastic containers aside and went to unlock the door.
As soon as they had unlocked the door, it was flung open and a figure dashed out of it like a bolt of lightning.
They were immediately alerted by this and went to grab her.
Moments before their hands could seize Sherry, she threw herself brazenly on the ground.
She crawled desperately to where they had discarded the food containers and pried them open to find if there
were any crumbs of rice left for her to stave off her hunger.
The bodyguards were speechless.
They were stunned by what they were seeing and barely had the heart to pull the miserable girl away.
