Dozens of eyes were on me . I clutched the medical report in my hand , my nails nearly digging into my palms . Hylton was still in a rage , his face twisting in fury . Gone was any trace of his usual calm and grace . " Alina ! Look at me , goddamn it ! Say something ! " He tried to grab me again , and the pain in my wrist was so sharp that I could barely stay standing . Just then , a few dark figures rushed over . Before Hylton could react , his arms were firmly restrained . " What the hell are you doing ? Let go of me ! " He struggled , cursing foully under his breath . But the men in black suits were like iron clamps , unmoving as they dragged him out . " Let go ! Do you know who I am ? " Behind the bodyguards , two familiar figures hurried toward me . It was my parents ! The grievance , fear , and despair I had held back for so long burst out the moment I saw them . Like a dam breaking , my tears flooded down as I stumbled forward . " Mom ! Dad ! " The moment I got my phone and could reach the outside world , I had sent a message to my parents in Aplaria . I didn't expect them to return so quickly . My mom pulled me tightly into her arms , patting my back over and over again . Lina , my Lina . It's okay now . I'm here . "
