There was a shooting sound.
When the gunshot rang out, Kram was so scared that he peed his pants and cried on the ground.
But after crying for a long time, he found that there was no pain in his body. He touched the sweat on his forehead with lingering fear.
He looked up and saw that James was still holding onto Keely’s hand. The black muzzle of the gun in Keely’s hand was still facing him in a ghastly manner. He held his head with both hands in fear.
When Keely heard the gunshot, she was so scared that her legs went soft, and she almost knelt weakly.
“James, you can’t do this to me. You… I can’t kill people.”
James’ look was frightening. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he clenched Keely’s hand again.
There was another shooting sound.
Kram let out a painful cry.
He covered his chest in disbelief. After seeing his palm covered in his blood, his expression was ferocious as he glared at Keely.
“No, no, brother. I don’t want to.”
Keely watched as Kram slowly fell. Blood flowed out while filling the air with the smell of blood.
Unable to hold on any longer, Keely knelt on the ground and wailed.
“Brother, I’m sorry. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me who wanted to kill you.”
James took away the gun in Keely’s hand and avoided touching Keely in disgust. He threw the gun at Nolan.
“You clean it up.”
“Yes.”
Nolan nodded and looked up at his subordinates. His subordinates understood and took out a small electric shock machine.
“What? What are you going to do…”
Keely struggled in horror. Her mouth was sealed with glue. Her face was full of fear, and her eyes were red as she glared at James.
James sat on the couch and used a tissue to wipe his hand that touched Keely. He looked coldly at Keely, who was electrically shocked.
Kelly had once found someone to humiliate James’ mother. Keely was now old. This kind of bullying could not increase her sense of shame. James liked to use another way to let her experience the feeling of preferring death.
“Keely, your brother was killed by you.” Keely lay on the ground while twitching uncontrollably.
Keely still had a sense of reason at the moment.
She shook her head and denied it as tears streamed down her face.
Nolan smiled and used an electric shock clip to hold Keely’s fingers while repeatedly emphasizing that Keely killed her brother. Nolan wanted to implant this idea into Keely’s mind.
“Yes, Keely. You are old and want to escape, so you denied it.”
Gradually, Keely could not bear the torture. When she heard Nolan speak, she subconsciously nodded and stopped resisting.
After seeing that the situation was not bad, James got up and left.
He walked out of the villa, and he suddenly turned around and stared at Nolan when he got in the car.
“Be careful this time. Don’t appear in the same situation as Jenny. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes.”
Nolan frowned. When James mentioned Jenny, who had suddenly disappeared, Nolan felt uneasy.
Although he didn’t know who had saved her, he felt that this woman was a bomb hidden in the dark. Jenny could jump out and hurt people anytime.
James drove home and looked at his watch. It was already three in the morning.
When he got out of the car, he looked up at the window of his bedroom, which was dark.
He thought to himself, ‘The little woman should be asleep.’
After walking into the living room, he saw that the table was a mess. There were fruit peels and snack bags on the table. He frowned slightly and bent down to clean them up.
Suddenly, James heard movement coming from the stairs. He looked up, took a glance, and suddenly froze.
“Kara.”
Kara curled up at the top of the stairs. She only wore thin pajamas and leaned against the railing to sleep.
James quickly went upstairs, walked up to Kara, and slowly squatted down.
“Stupid girl, wake up. Why are you sleeping here?”
Kara opened her eyes in a daze and gradually saw that the person in front of her was James. She opened her arms.
“James, it’s so cold.”
James quickly helped Kara up. When Kara stood up, her legs were numb because she had been sitting for too long.
“My legs. James, my legs are numb.” She looked at James pitifully.
James looked at Kara coldly and helplessly bent over to hold her to the bedroom.
Kara hugged James’ neck and smiled sweetly. Suddenly, she smelled something.
“James, you drank.”
“Yes.”
James nodded and placed her on the bed and squatted down to massage her legs.
“Are you feeling better?”
“No.” Kara angrily pushed James’ big hand away. “You didn’t tell me when you went out. And Libby went home. I was here alone. I was so scared.”
Kara thought that she had waited for James for six or seven hours. Every minute of these hours was torture for her.
James was stung by Kara’s words. He felt sorry and touched Kara’s head.
“I am sorry.”
“I won’t accept your apology. One won’t be able to solve the problem with an apology.” Kara took James’ big hand away again and looked at James in a huff.
James ground his teeth, held Kara’s little face, and lowered his head to kiss Kara’s lips.
“Better?”
“No.”
Kara wiped the back of her hand as tears fell. She covered her mouth with sobs while stopping herself from crying out.
“James, I’m scared.”
Kara was afraid James would leave her.
She heard Corey’s words.
She did not blame Corey. But she knew that James didn’t want her to continue to be hurt.
Kara could not be sure how long she could live if she still stayed with James. But she thought that even for a day, she wanted to stay with James.
Even at the moment of her death, she wouldn’t be afraid as long as she stayed with James.
After listening to Kara’s voice, James didn’t feel good. He hugged Kara and comforted Kara softly.
“Stupid girl, what are you afraid of?”
“I’m afraid that you’ll leave me.”
Kara wiped away her tears and covered James’ handsome face with her small hands while crying and burping.
“James, don’t leave me behind. Or I will be afraid.”
James was touched by Kara’s words. He tried hard to hold back his tears.
He was reluctant to leave Kara. But Corey said that James would make Kara’s life worse. James was even more reluctant to hurt Kara.
He got up to find a towel, wet it with hot water, and came over to wipe Kara’s face.
“Kara, be good. It’s getting late. You should go to sleep.”
Kara’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she still stared at James stubbornly, as if she would not sleep if James didn’t give her a definite answer.
James was softened by Kara’s gaze. He lowered his head and kissed Kara’s pink lips again.
“Kara, why are you afraid of me leaving you?”
Kara blinked, and there were still a few tears on her long eyelashes. “I want to be with you. I want you to warm me up every day.”
James pushed the hair out of Kara’s ear. And he combed Kara’s hair with spread fingers.
“Kara, this world won’t stop because of anyone, and you will be the same. If you are cold, then prepare something for yourself to warm up.”
When Kara heard the words, her little mouth shriveled, and her tears flowed out again.
“James, do you mean that you don’t like me anymore?”
The corner of James’s mouth twitched. How could he have such an intention?
He just wanted Kara to have an independent consciousness and not always rely on him.
“Stupid girl. Don’t cry. You’re ugly when you’re crying.”
But Kara ignored it and cried even louder. “So be it if I’m ugly. I don’t care because you don’t like me anymore.”
Kara kept crying.
