"Wahhh... I want Daddy! I want Mommy! Mommy!..." the child cried out.
The whole court was in an uproar.
The wails of the child filled the entire courtroom, and members of the jury cast strange glances, while the judge continuously pounded the gavel, repeatedly shouting, "Order! Order!"
But the judge's severity only made the child's emotions more out of control; they cried heart-wrenchingly!
Purple Summers only felt the cries tugging at her heart, the gavel pounding at her brain, while the noise around her pressed in from all sides, turning her thoughts hazy until all that remained was a buzzing chaos.
There were Emily Lewis on the witness stand, her eyes brimming with tears; she tried several times to soothe the child before finally clenching her fists to hold back, tears trickling down her cheeks.
Not until a relative of the Smith Family took the child out of the courtroom did order finally restore, but sympathy and discomfort were now evident on the faces of the jury members.
