Chapter 545

Milton pulled his lips into a smile. He seemed to have changed into a different persona, and all his violent tendencies quieted down. He said, "So, can I take her away now?" Patrick nodded. "Sure. The hero rescuing a damsel in distress wins her heart."

With that, he glanced at Huxton. Huxton immediately gestured to Milton, "Mr. Cook, please come with me."

Just as Milton was about to follow him, Patrick, who was standing behind, asked with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Cook, you don't actually care about Maryanne, do you?"

Milton stopped in his tracks and said even without turning his head, "I don't! Not in the past, not even now, and not in the future!"

Patrick's smile deepened. "Very well. Take her with you as you like."

After Milton left with Huxton, Patrick picked up the remote control and turned the screen on again.

In the display, two patches of blood pooled around the legs of the only chair in the room. Looking at the source of the blood, Maryanne's hands could be seen being nailed to the handles. Her hands, which used to be fair and slender, had now turned into a bloody, grotesque mess, and now she could not even lift a finger...

Further up, Maryanne's lips were parted and her head was lopsided, the black cloth covering her eyes stained wet with tears. Patrick suddenly wanted to know why Maryanne was crying. So, he asked...

"Maryanne, what are you crying for?"

In the other room, Maryanne recognized Patrick's voice. She tried her best to move her purple lips, but her throat felt like it was blocked, and she could not force a word out.

Patrick adjusted into a more comfortable sitting posture and asked calmly, "Well, let me guess. Are you regretting what you did?"

Maryanne's mouth gaped open even wider as if she was howling in despair.

Patrick asked with interest, "Or are you crying because it hurts?"

Maryanne, who was in so much pain that she was at loss for words, lowered her head dejectedly.
