Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 921:

For several long seconds, the world around her seemed to grind to a halt—everything became motionless, smeared, and unreal.

“Linsey!” Collin’s voice cut through the chaos, firm and urgent, as he grabbed her shoulders with both hands, anchoring her in place. His voice snapped her back to reality.

Her breathing came in shallow bursts, eyes wide and dazed as she locked onto Collin’s face, completely stunned. When she tried to speak, the words came out in a dry rasp, barely a whisper. The sentence broke off in her throat, her gaze drifting and then fixating on one point as if the rest of the world no longer existed.

“Linsey, listen to me.” Collin’s voice lowered but didn’t lose its edge. Slowly, deliberately, he said, “It was Kylee who stabbed Gorman. You had nothing to do with it. Stop blaming yourself.”

Linsey’s chest rose sharply as she gasped for air, tears welling as she stared at him, her voice cracking. “How did it come to this? How is Gorman… gone? Didn’t they get him to the hospital in time? Why couldn’t they save him?”

Collin held her tighter, trying to still the tremor in her body. After a long pause, he finally replied, his voice grim, “The knife she used wasn’t ordinary. It was custom-made, razor-sharp. He lost too much blood. By the time they got him there, his breathing was already shallow. The bleeding was just… too much. They couldn’t bring him back.”
