Chapter 643

My head buzzed, a loud, ringing echo that seemed to fill the world as I watched Mark collapse right in front of me.

Blood spilled from his mouth, yet he managed to flash me a grin, bloodied but unbowed.

Gregory, tripped by Josiah a moment before, was a step too late.

He saw Mark take the bullet meant for me, froze for a split second, then hurried over, covering my eyes with his hand. “Jane, don’t look…”

All the good things Mark had ever done for me rushed back in an instant.

Tears streamed down my face as I reached out, trying to stop the blood pouring from the gunshot wound, unable to form a coherent sentence. Lucius, alongside Mr. Rock, managed to apprehend Garry, rushing over to take control of Josiah and Pearl.
