Chapter 55 Escape

　　“ Amelia, why are you crying?” The sudden voice surprises me. I shiver before I turn my head and see Cody stare at me doubtfully. I wipe my tears hurriedly before his thumbs gently crosses my face to wipe my tears instead of me. “ Don’t be so rude. Your face is tender.” “Not as rude as what you did to it. You slapped me all the time before.” I don’t say it out because I am drawn in the gentleness in Cody‘s eyes.

　　“ Emelia, are you crying because it’s too painful?” I shake my head and lean my face against his palm. “ I’m just a little homesick. I miss my parents…” I notice that the temperature of the room goes down and it feels freezing goes cold after I said those words. Cody takes away his hands which was under my face. He stands up and looks at me coldly.
