Chapter 99
Derek's POV
On the helicopter, I tried to talk with Tabitha.
But she was very careful with her words now, afraid of offending me.
Realizing this, I leaned towards her. But she looked at me with alerted vigilance.
After the helicopter landed, I took her off the plane hand in hand.
Through peripheral vision, I saw her legs trembling.
She was like a stray dog in the wild, particular wary of humans after experiencing their abuse.
Whenever I looked at her, I would see fear in her eyes.
Just like now, I didn't do anything. But her body shuddered when I simply gave her a glance.
Although she was back now, she became even more sensitive and timid than before.
She checked my expression carefully and no longer spoke out her ideas freely.
I was annoyed by all of this.
As soon
