Jilted Bride 263

Chapter 263

With those words, Kenneth pulled out his handgun. Bang!

The bullet hit Eric's arm, where he had been holding a gun. Thud!

The gun dropped from Eric's hand, his face turning as pale as a hect. He sneered, revealing a small fang on one side. "You're not worthy of Elia... A rich kid like you has no idea how much Ella has suffered..." Suddenly, memories of the first time Eric had met Elia rushed to his mind.

When he was a child, Eric had been beaten by his adoptive father and ran off to a small hill in Gloomhaven, where there was a church, and on the table, the pastor had left some desserts.

Later, whenever Eric was beaten, he would run into her.

As they grew older, she taught Eric to write, and he taught her boxing.

She protected everyone around her, like the sun.

But last night, Eric had seen the light in Elia's eyes vanish for the first time.
