Chapter 194 Shattered Glass, Shattered Truths

Blood trickled down from Luke's foreheat He stared at me in disbelief, his bloodshot eyes brimming with a mixture of shock and pain as I clutched the vase in my hands. You actually...

Before he could finish, his body collapsed with a heavy hud.

Damian, with his tall and sturdy frame, effortlessly carried Luke away.

After witnessing the deaths of myself and Esmee, my fear of such incidents had grown unbearable.

Still shaken. I returned to my room while Carter checked on Luke's condition.

Not long after, Adam stormed in, livid. "Carter, the Boltons isn't just yours to rule! My son's already Suffering from a serious illness and undergoing treatment. Yet, you all dared to hurt him like this!"
