Chapter 67 Under House Arrest (Part Two)
"From now on, you can send food to her, but she is not allowed to leave the room." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Okay, I see. I'll bring her the meal now." Terri finally waited for this sentence and brought the food she had prepared to her in a hurry.
When she opened the door, she saw Euralia sitting on the sofa and looking at her with a haggard face.
As soon as Euralia saw Terri coming in, she immediately ran towards the door. However, like Bill, Terri also locked the door. She knew it must be her brother who asked her to do so.
Except for her, no one dared to disobey his brother's arrangement in the Ou Mansion.
"Miss Euralia, Mr. Bill loves you so much. Have you gone too far this time?" Terri asked while putting the dishes on the table.
"Terri, how dare you put in a good word for him. I'm imprisoned here. Who do you think is more unreasonable?" It was rare for someone to talk to her, so she began to complain in front of Terri.
"Let's talk about it later. Let's have dinner first." Terri sighed helplessly.
"I don't want to eat anything. Even if I starve to death here, I won't eat anything." She said stubbornly.
Outside the room, Bill opened the door and came in.
"Terri, take the food out. You can't stay here more than five minutes when you bring it in."
He had been more strict with Euralia.
"But Mr. Bill, Miss Euralia hasn't had dinner yet." Terri was in a dilemma.
"Take it out right now." He ordered again.
Feeling frightened, Terri had to take the food out, which made Euralia even more angry!
Late at night, Bill was worried and went to her room. He wandered outside for a long time, but he didn't open the door. Actually, punishing her was punishing himself as well.
He didn't sleep the whole night. When he was about to fall asleep, he was awakened by a sound coming from the outside.
Euralia slept well last night and woke up very early this morning to make noise. She kept smashing the door with things, making a noisy sound to ask him to let her go to school.
The whole house was filled with her arguments. Terri and a group of servants kept persuading her outside, but all their efforts were in vain.
The servants made way for Bill when he finally came over.
Mr. Bill, Miss Euralia wants to go to school." Terri repeated her words.
"From now on, no one is allowed to pass through here except for Terri, and no one is allowed to gather here either." The servants left as soon as he finished his words.
He decided not to pay attention to the nonsense of Euralia. If she liked to smash the door, just let her do it. That's all right as long as she was still alive in the room. And it was just an excuse for her to escape.
Euralia was so hungry from last night till now, and she had been shouting and screaming all morning. At last, she didn't have the strength to go on.
At noon, Terri sent food in. She was about to persuade her to have a meal, but unexpectedly, she was eating with appetite.
"Miss Euralia, eat slowly. Don't get choked." She looked at Euralia with sympathy. If Mr. Bill saw it, he would be very sad. No wonder he refused to see her now.
"Bring more food tonight. I must eat more so that I can resist against him." Euralia was not that stupid to go on a hunger strike.
She had to keep her strength and find a way to leave here.
Terri smiled bitterly, feeling that she was childish. But she thought it was a good idea. At least, it wouldn't hurt her health by hunger strike as before.
As soon as Terri left and closed the door, a burst of noise came from the room.
Hearing the sound from her room, Bill did not worry but feel relieved. He knew her well. She was noisy, which meant she had no intention of suicide.
Instead, if she had quieted down, he would be more worried. This time, he must lock her up until she admitted her mistakes and corrected them.
By the end of the day, Euralia felt very tired, and she would go crazy if it kept going like this. She would be starved to death or bored to death in such a small room every day.
Smart as she was, she walked around the room to see if there were any other exits. Her eyes finally focused on the balcony.
She lived on the second floor, and the distance between the balcony and the ground was not too high. But there was no rope in her room. Then she saw the quilt on her bed.
She began to tear the quilt and made a long rope to tie it to the iron pillar of the window.
"Bill, even if you don't let me go, I can still find a way to leave." She was finally able to go downstairs since she had finished her lunch.
She began to go down along the water pipe step by step. With a pair of slippers on, she felt that it was very inconvenient to move. Besides, the physical strength of her body was limited, so when she climbed halfway, her hands and legs began to tremble.
'Euralia, you must hold on! Hold on!' She cheered herself on in her mind.
"Miss Euralia, what are you doing?" Without knowing it, Terri came to the balcony and saw her hanging in the air, and she was frightened.
Euralia was scared by her scream and suddenly loosed the rope. She screamed so loudly that the whole house was shook.
With her eyes closed, she thought that it would be even harder for her to escape since she would be severely injured this time. At the moment she fell to the ground, she felt something soft and didn't feel any pain.
