Chapter 198: Have You Ever Eaten Human Flesh?
Noah was shocked.
Rape?
Such a little kid?!
Spark glanced at her and said indifferently, “Throw her out.”
“Wait.” A cold voice rang.
Standing on the stairs, Claire looked at Spark earnestly. “I want to save her.”
Spark walked quickly towards Claire and pulled her hair behind her ears, his eyes tender. “OK, but she can’t stay in You Palace. I will arrange a place for her and have a servant take care of her. ”
He never refused Claire’s request.
Spark arranged a small apartment outside.
Claire went with him.
In the room, the little girl woke up quietly.
Her skinny body was curled up into a ball, looking at them with her watery eyes. Her pupils were bright and clear, full of fear and panic.
Sitting opposite her, Claire casually crossed her legs and asked lazily. “What’s your name?”
“Amelia…” the little girl said tremblingly, her voice weak.
Claire glanced at her and saw that her arms were covered with bruises and scars, her slender neck had a circle of pinch mark, and she was so skinny that her ribs protruded and were even visible under her dress.
“What did they do to you?”
Amelia said innocently, “Auntie… hit me with a stick, put boiling water on me, tied me up, and didn’t give me food. Uncle took off my clothes and touched my body, including even my private parts. It hurt so much… ”
Claire narrowed her eyes, which were filled with a chill.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I saved you, so you will have to work for me, understood?”
Amelia nodded vigorously. “I will be good!”
The door was knocked at this moment. “Miss Claire, you should go back.”
Claire slowly got up. “I will come to see you again if I have time.”
Back in the You Palace, before entering the door, the man rushed out quickly and slammed Claire into his arms.
“Why did you come back so late? I missed you so much.” Spark held up Claire’s small face and put his forehead against hers affectionately. His eyes were so full of love, which almost drowned her.
“…”
She had only been away for less than an hour.
“Are you hungry? I’ve had the kitchen prepare food.” Spark led Claire in.
The servants served the food.
Claire picked up a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth.
Spark sat opposite, propping his chin with a hand and gazing at her with a smile. He suddenly asked. “Claire, have you ever eaten human flesh?”
Claire stiffened.
The man’s eyes gradually cooled, and he muttered. “I have. It was my parents’ flesh. Since then… I can’t eat meat anymore.”
He spoke slowly as if he was talking about something ordinary.
Claire pursed her lips, resisting the urge to vomit. After a second, she slapped the knife and fork down, losing her appetite.
Late at night.
Claire used the computer to hack the system of You Palace and climbed over the wall to go out. She knew that the guards of You Palace were following her in secret.
Knowing that she could not escape, Spark allowed her to occasionally escape out of the You Palace, which was the maximum freedom he could give her.
Claire took Amelia out of the apartment.
Amelia held her hand. After these days, she looked much better and her small face had become fair. “Where are we going?”
“Go find someone.”
They came under a cliff.
“There is someone over there!” Amelia exclaimed and ran forward.
Under the cliff, a boy was on the ground with his head knocked against a stone. The blood had dried up. Claire squatted down and put a finger under his nose. His breathing was weak but he was still alive.
