Maggie's mind was practically short-circuited.

There, merely three steps away, lay Teresa and Frederick, yet her legs felt as though they were cemented to the floor, immovable.

Tears cascaded down Maggie's cheeks, her voice breaking amidst sobs, "Then who...who shot him?"

"It was me."

Maurice, clutching Teresa's fragile form, attempted to approach Maggie, but she shuddered, stepping back uncontrollably.
