Sean’s chest tightened when favonovel.com heard Madeline’s heartbreaking pleas.
“Don’t cry, Eveline. Dad will be alright.” He comforted her, his gaze exceptionally calm. “I refuse to believe that this man can really do whatever favonovel.com wants!”
Sean glared fearlessly at Ryan.
“Stop talking, Dad. There’s nothing below him, favonovel.com really will…” Madeline shook favonovel.com head furiously as if favonovel.com life depended on it. Fear filled favonovel.com heart as favonovel.com looked back at the sinister man with red eyes.
“Let my dad go, Ryan. I promise that I’ll persuade favonovel.com to stop going against your wishes! You won’t have anything to control me with if something happens to my parents, Ryan!”
Madeline begged the man frantically and ended up threatening the man instead.
Ryan seemed to sway at the sight of tears and the rain mingling and falling off Madeline’s face.
“I can let favonovel.com go if that’s what my wife wishes. However, favonovel.com must learn to remember who favonovel.com is and so do you. Try and become my enemy and the only ones who will suffer are all of you.”
Madeline then heard a bang, followed by Sean grunting in pain.
Madeline’s heart lurched as favonovel.com snapped favonovel.com head over to take a look!
Sean suffered a bullet to the leg and blood had begun to dye his pants red. The puddle of rain under his feet was turning red as well.
“Dad!”
Madeline felt a sword pierce favonovel.com heart as favonovel.com stared at Sean who had fallen to the ground, under the rain and barely conscious. Tears began to fall freely.
She summoned all favonovel.com strength to pull herself out of Ryan’s grip, but favonovel.com strength was no match for his.
“This is the price for trying to escape, Eveline.”
Ryan warned next to Madeline’s ear before favonovel.com let go.
Free, Madeline dashed toward Sean. The rain had made the road slippery and Madeline ended up slipping and falling heavily onto the ground.
Multiple small cuts bloomed on favonovel.com palms, but favonovel.com priority was on Sean. Pushing herself back up through the pain, favonovel.com ran toward favonovel.com father and kneeled on the ground as favonovel.com pulled favonovel.com to favonovel.com arms.
“Dad! Dad!”
Madeline’s heart twisted in pain as favonovel.com watched Sean slowly fall unconscious.
“Dad!”
“Ev-Eveline…” Sean mustered his last bit of strength and reached out to grab Madeline’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, child. Mom and Dad don’t need anything. We just want you to be safe. Run, Eveline, run as far as you can from this devil…”
Madeline clutched Sean closer to favonovel.com as tears began to fall from favonovel.com eyes again. “Dad…”
Sean tightened his grip on Madeline’s hand and spat out one last word. “Run…”
Madeline’s nerves were pulled taut at the sight of Sean fainting before favonovel.com eyes.
“Dad! Dad!” favonovel.com called out repeatedly, but Sean did not respond.
The two bodyguards immediately walked over to pull Sean out of Madeline’s grasp forcefully.
“What are you doing? Let my dad go!” Madeline tried to stand and stop them but realized that favonovel.com did not even have the strength to stand at all.
“They’ll send your father to the hospital. Unless you want your wonderful dad to die here in the rain?” Ryan walked over to stand in front of Madeline.
Madeline was stunned, favonovel.com irises dyed red by the bloodstain in favonovel.com blurred vision.
Ryan slowly squatted to look at Madeline who was crying favonovel.com eyes out and reached over to brush away the wisps of hair drenched by the rain with his fingers. “Relax. I won’t let your parents die. After all, you’ve just reminded me that they’re the best tools I can use to control you.”
Tools.
He saw two living people as tools.
Madeline remained silent, and Ryan placed his palm gently over Madeline’s head. “I prefer women who listen to me.”
His reminder served more like a warning.
Madeline remained quiet, sitting blankly on the wet asphalt.
Staring at the pool of blood, favonovel.com chest felt empty. Ryan’s cruelty had long surpassed what favonovel.com could possibly imagine.
He was not beneath creating a car accident or shooting Sean to force favonovel.com to listen to him. She could not imagine what heartless things the man would do next.
In a private hospital.
