Mandy moved forward after that, with Nelly staying close behind her.
Linda watched them and scoffed. “That’s Nelly Tanner? Hah, if I didn’t have a baby in me now, I’d really want to vent for you!”
“I’m not such a pushover yet!” Cordelia smiled. “Don’t worry. She won’t get to bully me!”
“Right. You have Zephyr with you. Who’d dare bully you?” Linda chuckled as well and suddenly asked thoughtfully, “Does Nelly look like her father?”
“Why the question?”
“I just think that she isn’t like Mrs. Tanner at all, not even in terms of their vibe!”
Cordelia paused. She had never paid attention to this before.
Linda had spent years learning sketching and oil painting, and she was the best at drawing portraits. Whenever she looked at people, she liked observing their facial shapes, lines, and stuff.
“Linda, are you itching to draw again?”
Linda giggled.
“I shall send you home sooner then. You still have the whole afternoon. Draw to your heart’s content!”
…
Like a fragile piece of paper, Kelly was stuffed into the van with her mouth covered.
The van left the hospital and sped onto the road. Kelly had black tape over her mouth, disheveled hair, and reddened eyes. She looked at the man next to her in terror.
The man drove and said, “Don’t be scared, miss! You just have to take some meds once we arrive!”
Kelly trembled.
Kelly worked her wrists out and saw the car in front of them at that moment. Unable to think further, she threw herself to grab the steering wheel.
The driver was shocked and shoved her to the side.
The car swerved and drove between lanes, causing the cars around it to honk as a warning.
“Are you f*cking asking to be killed!?” the driver cursed hysterically.
Kelly did not give up. This time, she went for the driver’s eyes… The van lost control, and the driver stepped on the brake instinctively, but it was already too late.
With a bang, the van collided with the car in front of it and was severely damaged.
The strong momentum threw Kelly against the windshield and bounced her back to the seat. Her forehead was busted, and blood oozed from the wound.
