Chapter 42 – Quitting?
TOP SPEED
“… Do you really hate me that much, huh? TELL ME!” The middle-aged man yelled as he tightened his grip on Donghae’s collar. His eyes are burning as if he wanted to kill the guy in front of him. A little bit more and he will lose his self-control. Thank God, a faint, weak voice was heard amidst the heavy atmosphere inside the room. The middle-aged man loosened his grip on Donghae as he looked at the direction of his daughter. The rest followed as they tried to observe the sleeping girl, who seems to be dreaming of something bad, or maybe she’s already starting to pain caused by her injuries.
Slowly, they watched her open her eyes and carefully roamed her eyes around the room.
“D-Dad?” She said in a weak voice.
