Jane felt her legs go soft. She had to support herself with the wall.

She felt a chill down her spine, looking at the terrifying scene in front of her.

Blood pooled on the floor. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, making Jane unable to think.

Holding on to the wall, she slowly moved to the couch.

Her tears gushed out when she saw what was lying beside the couch.

“Honey! Sarah!” Jane rushed over. “What happened?” she howled.

The loving man who always talked to her in a gentle voice could no longer wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

“Honey! Don’t Leave me! How am I going to live if you leave me?” Jane let out a heart-wrenching cry.

“Mommy? What… what happened?” It was Sasha’s voice from the door.

“I don’t know. Who could be so cruel and kill him? He was the most friendly person I know and got along well with everybody.” said Jane in a hoarse voice.

Sasha was terrified. “What happened to Daddy? Daddy! Don’t leave us! Daddy!” she cried loudly to hide her fear.

Suddenly, she saw a dagger in Leah’s hand, who lay unconsciously on the floor next to Gordon.

“Mommy, look at her hand. Is that the weapon that killed Daddy?”

Jane looked over with her teary ears. Indeed, there was a dagger in Leah’s hand.

Jane gasped. She could not believe it!

Slipping in and out of consciousness, Leah faintly heard someone crying loudly.

She felt dizzy and a sharp pain shot from the back of her head.

Still disoriented, Leah woke up with her hand on her head. She saw Jane holding Gordon in her arms and wailed.
