Hearing her name being called by Alan, all the joints in Anne's body seemed to be loose at the moment. She even almost fell, if only Alice didn't immediately wrap her arms around Anne's waist. Not long after, Alan and Nicholas and his men came out from among the crowd, approaching Anne. From his face, there was a look of great anger directed at Anne. Seeing Alan made Erick almost scream loudly and approached him, but because he felt the great anger from the man, Erick canceled his intention.
When Alan got in front of Anne, without a word he grabbed her hand and puller her harshly into his arms.
"It hurts."
"If you knew it hurts, you shouldn't have angered me, Anne," Alan said quickly.
Anne immediately closed her lips tightly. She was too afraid to answer Alan's words again, even though at the moment she felt pain in her waist because Alan's fingers gripped it tightly.
"It's not this sister's fault, sir." Without fear, Alice suddenly joined in.
