Isabelle could clearly feel Naomi's body trembling with fear.
She froze for a moment.
Was Naomi often beaten in this house too?
At that thought, Isabelle instinctively stepped in front of Naomi and took the blow for her.
Isabelle couldn't help letting out a muffled groan.
"Isabelle!"
Naomi looked at her helplessly, so anxious that tears fell from her eyes.
Isabelle held her hand tightly and gently shook her head.
"It's okay. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
Austin gave a cold snort.
"April, you think you've grown some wings now, don't you?"
With that, he raised his hand and was about to swing the broom down a second time.
But the broom in his hand suddenly snapped into several pieces and fell to the floor.
Austin froze for a moment.
Isabelle was startled too.
Then she understood.
