Clearing the Connection
After what felt like an eternity, Hannah finally stopped crying, and Brianna slowly opened her eyes.
She had been so furious that she felt on the verge of spitting blood, which is why she had lashed out so violently. Brianna feared that if she didn't let it out, she might really go mad or collapse from the stress.
"Robert! Don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I... I'll make sure you regret it!" Brianna spat through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with a deadly intent that made Hannah shudder.
Hannah didn't dare say anything, only trembled slightly and clung tightly to Brianna's hand. Both mother and daughter understood that their future was bleak, and the hope of a bright tomorrow was nothing but a distant dream.
