"When are you going to stop shaming me?!" Her mother screamed in anger.
Her mother is trying to keep her voice down to avoid attracting unwanted attention, even though they are quite far from the party. But she didn't bother to control the force she used to slap her face.
Her face swollen up shortly after her mother's palm hit her cheek. She didn't feel any pain now because her face already went numb. The only pain left was the one craved deeply in her heart. Her mother didn't shy away from inflicting pain using her hands and tongue.
She holding her left on her hands when her mother dragged her by her hair inside the elevator. Li Na for the first time felt scared with the madness in her mother's eyes. She panicked trying to think of a way to get away from her mother right now before they reached the hotel room.
She had a numbing feeling that once they were in the privacy of a locked room, her mother would unleash her wrath on her.
