Chapter 1568
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Unknowingly, Felipe had been walking for a while before he stopped in his steps and looked up. When he looked up, he realized that everything in front of him was gray.
He really wished that he could go back in time, but everything was too late.
Some things could not go back to how they were after they happened.
He closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with endless regret.
âFelipe!â
Suddenly, a fierce voice interrupted his thoughts.
Felipe opened his eyes. It turned out that there were some people asking for trouble.
He still remembered that during the time when he thought Cathy was dead, he was determined to get on the right path for Cathy. As such, he eventually gave up the business he was in before.
However, the men who were initially under him rebelled.
Even though it had been a long time since it happened, they never stopped chasing after him. He also knew that those who he had called brothers were only in it for profit and money.
In this world, the only person who would risk their own life for him was his Cathy. She was the only one who was wholehearted and had eyes only for him.
âFelipe, are you still trying to hide?â The man who was leading the group walked toward Felipe with a knife. âIf you didnât want to do this sort of business, why didnât you at least pave a good path for your brothers?â
âThose goods are still locked away in the warehouse. Theyâre all money! If you donât want them, we want them.â
âFelipe, Iâll give you one last chance to transfer the company to us. If you want to keep protecting the dead person, youâre free to do so. Just donât be the one stopping us from getting rich. Otherwise, weâll send you down to hell to see your dead Cathy!â
Felipe was initially numb to everything, but when he heard those people saying Cathyâs name and referring to her as the dead, his anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
When the three men saw that Felipe was not going to transfer the company to them, they ganged up on Felipe with weapons and were about to hurt him.
Although Felipe had injuries all over his body, he did not give up completely and waited for them to hurt him as he defended himself by attacking as well.
In the end, however, one person going against three was a tough challenge. When Felipe was distracted, one of them took the opportunity and plunged a sharp knife that he was holding into Felipeâs chest.
The pain of the knife tearing into his flesh suddenly spread to his limbs and bones. Felipe looked up, his darkened and red eyes drenched in rainwater. He drew out the sharp knife that was pierced into his chest.
Scarlet red blood gushed out from the wound along with his movements, and all of a sudden, it dyed the rainwater under his feet red.
When Felipe did that, the three men felt a little scared.
âYou want to kill me, right? Fine, but Iâll bring all of you down with me.â
ââ¦â
When they saw Felipeâs scary and murderous eyes, the three men could not help but feel a chill running down their backs.
Felipe grabbed the man that led them from the back and held the knife across his neck. He was about to slash it across the manâs neck, making the man shiver with fright. He almost peed his pants.
Just when Felipe was about to do something, a familiar voice hurriedly sounded from behind him. The voice was nearing them.
âMr. Policeman, theyâre here!â
âThe cops?â
âThe cops are here! Letâs go immediately!â
When the two other men heard that, they ran away immediately.
The man who Felipe was holding tightly took advantage of the split second when Felipe was distracted, pushed him away, and ran away quickly.
When Felipe was pushed, he staggered backward.
He had new injuries along with his old injuries. He lost his balance from exhaustion and even his consciousness gradually began to blur.
When he was about to fall, he saw the face that he wanted to see the most but did not dare to.
âCathyâ¦â
âFelipe!â
Cathy embraced Felipe and saw the blood flowing relentlessly out of his chest along with the scattered rain. All the forgotten scenes at the back of her mind seemed to hit her all at onceâ¦
