Chapter 778 Can't Escape With a Broken Leg
Chapter 778 Can't Escape With a Broken Leg
"No!"
Jayla kept telling herself in her mind that she could not bow down in front of the evil forces, that she had to be brave and strong, but she still did not have the courage to watch her leg being broken and she could not help but close her eyes the moment the stick fell.
Surprisingly, the expected pain did not come, but a not so clear, muffled grunt of effort was heard in the ear.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was Leon who was shielding her leg, the corner of his lips still oozing with blood.
The little boy's skin was already relatively white, and this bright red smear on the corner of his lips looked even more frightening.
"Leon, how are you?"
Jayla looked at Leon with a worried face. He was wearing a grey T-shirt that had been washed white today and she could clearly see that on his back, there was a clear bloodstain that had stained a large part of his shirt red.
"Leon ......"
Jayla's throat strained and tears dripped down uncontrollably. Why did he help her to block this! Did he know that this stick would hurt a lot when it hit his body?
She had always felt that this inferior and sensitive boy hated her, and could not understand why he had blocked the stick for her.
"Bastard, get out of my way! If I hadn't promised your uncle to let you bounce around for a few more days first, I'd break your legs tonight first!" Eli said with a look of impatience and no good humour.
"Leon, don't worry about me! I'll be fine, my daddy, mummy and brother will come to save me soon! When they come, we'll all be safe! You still have to protect your mommy, you have to protect your legs!"
Jayla did not want Leon to worry about her, she tried to hold back her tears and said to him incomparably serious.
Leon grew up at the bottom of society and has experienced too much. After his father's death, the pillar of the family completely collapsed and he and his mother became the targets of everyone's bullying, and he has seen almost all the darkness in the world.
He felt like a stink bug born in the gutter, disgusted by everyone, even, he was a bit self-loathing.
But at this moment, when he met Jayla's face that was obviously scared and still trying to pretend to be indifferent, and thought that she was about to have her leg broken and was still explaining that he should take good care of his legs and protect his mother, he suddenly felt that he was not disliked by everyone.
This world, too, is not the only colour of darkness.
Dark clouds blocked the light, but there is always some sunlight that will break through the clouds and descend on earth.
Jayla took a look at her tender calves in her pink princess dress, she took a breath and said rather bravely to Leon, "I'm not afraid of pain, not at all."
Seeing that Leon was still protecting Jayla's legs, Ben became furious and threw him away as soon as he could, and the iron bar went to her leg again.
"Stop it!"
Leon spoke with a sober face, although his character was much more stable than his peers, but after all, he was only a young boy of six years old, facing such vicious human traffickers, he was afraid.
But he continued with uncompromising determination, "Don't you hurt her! You break my leg first!"
In fact, when one falls into such a place, one's leg is bound to break sooner or later. Since it is always bound to break, it doesn't matter if it is a few days earlier or later.
Leon clenched his fists tightly, Jayla would fall into the hands of these bad people because of him, and for whatever reason, he had to, try to protect her.
"What did you say?" Ben looked at Leon incredulously, he was used to seeing these kids wailing and screaming when faced with a broken leg, it was the first time he had seen that someone had taken the initiative to ask for his leg to be broken first.
"Break my legs first!" Without the slightest hesitation, Leon said in one word.
"Leon, don't mind me! I'm fine, I'm really not afraid at all!" Jayla's hands kept trembling as she turned to Leon with a white face.
She was indeed afraid of breaking her legs, but as a child she had learned the truth that she should not do unto others what she did not want done to her.
She didn't want to be unable to stand up, and Leon certainly didn't either. More importantly, his mother was sick and she needed his care, his mother only had him to depend on, and he had to be well.
"Break my legs, you guys! I'm not afraid of you all! When my daddy comes, he will break your legs too!" Jayla raised her face and said incomparably stubbornly.
Hearing Jayla's words, Leon could not help but frown, he did not want to continue to argue with her about this matter, he pulled her up from the ground, and actually pushed her straight to the door.
Although Leon was only a year older than her, he was a great deal taller than her, plus he had been used to hard times since he was a child and was much stronger than her, so she lost the chance to have her leg broken tonight without even resisting.
After shutting Jayla outside, Leon turned around, his lips were pale, but his face was extraordinarily calm, "You guys break my legs, when the blood on my legs is no longer visible, I'll go begging and help you guys make good money!"
With that, he fell good-naturedly to the dirt-covered floor.
He knew that Jayla was the child of a rich family, her family was very powerful, so her family would soon find her, and the few days he delayed, might, in exchange, be able to leave her in peace and without worries. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
As for him, in this life, he is destined to be in the mire, so why drag others into the slime with him!
"Leon! Don't hit him! Don't you hit him!"
Jayla rapped hard on the door of her room, she was so anxious that she cried and screamed outside, but the old wooden door was locked from the inside and no matter how hard she pushed, she could not push it.
The sound of the iron bar smashing against his body viciously irritated Jayla's eardrums.
The pain was so intense that it caused Leon to shed tears, but because he did not want to make the person outside the door feel guilty or sad, he almost bit his lower lip and forced himself not to scream out.
"Leon!"
Jayla's tears flowed like broken beads, and she almost slapped the door with all her strength, "Stop hitting him! Please, don't hit him anymore! If you keep on hitting him, he won't be able to stand up!"
"Leon, run! Run!" Jayla knew full well that Leon couldn't run at all now, she still muttered over and over again, "Why don't you run ......"
She had always felt that the real danger was far, far away from them, until, with Leon's legs soaked red with blood, she realised that they were deep in danger.
In this world, not everything can be turned into better situation. This time, neither she nor Leon can escape!
