Chapter 777 Jayla is Not His Daughter
Jayla know many things.
On the contrary, since she was still younger, she had followed Freya to disaster areas with Jaden to help the poor people injured in the disaster.
In those days, they also encountered numerous patients.
Those bloody wounds were something she had long since become accustomed to.
But now, seeing these children, who were about her age, with broken legs, struggling to crawl to the table and picking up a bowl of unpalatable rice to barely eat, she could not control the tears that were dripping down her face.
The world is too big and there are always places where the sun doesn't shine.
Under the same blue sky, some people shine brightly, but others hide in the shadows, never to see the light of day for the rest of their lives.
The children here, no doubt, have not seen the light of day for a long time.
A little girl called Annie earned just over a hundred, and those traffickers punished her by not allowing her to eat dinner or go back to bed.
The little girl, aged five or six, was already thin as a bamboo pole. With her broken leg, she huddled in a corner, watching the other children grubbing for food, looking unspeakably pitiful.
Other children have long since become accustomed to such images, numbly picking at their bowls of food, having lost the courage to fight against their fate.
Jayla's heart was seized with pain as she walked up to her with the blackened rice in her hands, "Annie, I'm a small eater, so you can have some of the rice in my bowl."
Annie looked starved, but she still shook her head with a frightened expression in the face of Jayla's good intentions. NôvelDrama.Org content.
"I will get beaten."
Having lived in such a dark corner for years, Annie's verbal skills were particularly poor, but Jayla could understand, and she knew that Annie was afraid that if those people punished her for not being allowed to eat, but she ate in secret, she would be beaten when she was seen.
Leon's face was also surprisingly calm, he never liked to meddle in things, but when he saw those few traffickers walking in, he still hurriedly pulled Jayla away from Annie's face.
Jayla's eyes still fell on the helpless Annie, and she lowered her voice and said to her with immense seriousness, "Annie, my daddy and brother will definitely come to save us! We'll all get out of here alive! Your legs will get well!"
Most of the children here are unable to stand up on their legs. Those traffickers were really hard on them, and with no treatment afterwards, those who had their legs broken can now only crawl around on the ground.
If those injuries had been treated in time, there is certainly they would have been able to stand up, and after all this time, she doesn’t if they would have had a chance to get back on their feet.
However, as long as they can get out of here, there is still hope for everything.
Her mother is very good at medicine and she believes that when she leaves here, her mother will be able to help these children get back on their feet.
"Get your ass over here!"
Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, a ruthless voice rang out in Jayla's ears.
Jayla lifted her face, her big watery eyes staring at the human traffickers in front of her for an instant, "Let me out of here! Otherwise, my daddy will not let you go!"
"Little brat, how dare you threaten me now?! I will break your legs first!" With that, a thumb-thick iron rod appeared in that trafficker Eli's hand like a magic trick.
Jayla knew that the man in front of her was not scaring her for fun, and she was naturally scared in her heart, but she still forced herself to calm down and said to him, "You can't break my leg! If you break my leg, my daddy will definitely bruise you to death!"
"Eli, this little brat's daddy can't really be some big shot, right?" Ben, who was standing next to Eli, couldn't help but speak up, "In case her family is really powerful, it's a bit of a problem if we bring her in!"
"Let me out of here! I won't let my daddy come after you! Otherwise, my daddy will smash up your lair and send you all to jail!"
After a pause, Jayla then said, "My daddy is Kieran Fitzgerald, he is the most powerful man in this world!"
"Mr. Fitzgerald?!" Ben's face changed, he did hear that the already dead Mr. Fitzgerald had a pair of children, and this little girl, so cute, could really be Mr. Fitzgerald's daughter!
If she is really Mr. Fitzgerald's child, they will not be able to live if they offend the Fitzgerald family!
"Eli, what should we do in case she's really Mr. Fitzgerald's daughter?" Ben asked as he looked at Eli with a worried expression.
"She's Mr. Fitzgerald's daughter? Then I'm still the president's son!" Eli spat disdainfully, "What Mr. Fitzgerald's daughter! David already made it clear to me a long time ago that this little brat is just an orphan who grew up with an old woman!"
"That grandmother of hers is so old, she wouldn't care if we chopped off her legs or gouged out her eyes!"
"Not to mention the fact that she can't possibly be Mr. Fitzgerald's daughter, even if she really is, we can't let her go! We've already made it this far, letting her go back would be like seeking us death!"
Eli shook the iron rod in his hand, "Ben, will you do it or shall I?"
"Eli, it's better for you to do it, this little girl is good looking, I'm a bit unable to do it!"
Hearing this from Ben, Eli didn't argue with him any further as he clutched the iron bar, signalling him to hold Jayla so he could break her legs.
Jayla involuntarily took a step back, "You're breaking the law! You can't break my legs!"
"Daddy, Mummy, help me! Brother, help me!"
Jayla turned around, she wanted to run away from this small village where she could not see the light, but with her short legs, she could not outrun a grown man!
In the blink of an eye, she was grabbed back by Ben and pressed hard to the ground.
She really didn't want to have her legs broken, she still wanted to dance and wear a beautiful dress. If she couldn't stand up anymore, how could she continue to dance which she loved the most?
"You're arresting us just to make money! My daddy has lots and lots of money, if you let us all go, he can give you all the money you want!"
Jayla tried to stall for a while with these people, for she always felt that if she could only hold on a little longer, her daddy would descend before her and protect her in peace and safety.
"I Are you still addicted to pretending to be a rich lady? If your family is really rich, why would you go to that shitty place alone at night?" Eli impatiently swept Jayla a glance, "Cut the crap! Otherwise, I'll cut off your tongue first!"
With that, his hand exerted force, and he swung the iron viciously towards Jayla's legs.
