Chapter 2076
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âAm I right? You want to die with me.â
Shirley looked forward indifferently. The cold wind blew over, and she suddenly smiled.
âYeah, Iâm tired of living for a while now. If you want to die, take me with you. I really miss my mom and dad, and Addyâ¦â
Carterâs eyes sank when he heard Shirleyâs words. His Adamâs apple moved slightly; it seemed that it was a sob. âOkay.â
He opened his lips and uttered a single word.
âThen, letâs go to hell together.â
He said those words of despair and tightened his hand on Shirleyâs neck.
Indifferent, Shirley allowed Carterâs palm to tighten more and more, then she slowly closed her eyes.
âCarter, let Shirley go!â Madeline tried to stop Carter, but Fabian held her back.
âItâs dangerous! Donât go there! Heâs a lunatic.â âBut I canât just stand by and watchâ¦â
Bang!
Before Madeline could finish speaking, she suddenly heard the loud sound of a gunshot.
Her eyes were met with a glaring sight of red blood.
Carter had been shot.
His arm that held Shirleyâs throat had been shot, and blood was seeping through his coat.
Shirley had not expected those people to shoot.
Although Carter had committed crimes, he was still a royalty of St. Piaf. Even if they carne to arrest him, they still had to ensure Carterâs safety, yet they had fired.
Carter quickly released his palm that held Shirley. In reality, he had never really thought about strangling Shirley like this. Never.
Shirley was stunned for several seconds before she could react, then, at this moment, another bullet hit Carter in the leg.
Shirleyâs eyes turned red instantly. âCarter! â
She involuntarily called out Carterâs name and stopped those people.
âStop shooting! Donât shoot anymore! â Her eyes were red as she commanded.
âHave you forgotten who Carter is? He must return to St. Piaf unharmed! Thatâs your mission! â
Shirley roared out, tears escaping her eyes like pearls on a broken string.
Her legs were weak, and she could not move, but she still relied on the strength of her body to quickly help Carter.
âCarter, you must hold on. Your life wonât be in danger. Iâll ask them to take you to the hospital immediately!â
Shirley wanted to help Carter leave as she spoke, but Carter seemed to have some difficulties in walking.
When he saw the messy tears on Shirleyâs face, Carter suddenly felt that the two shots were worth it. âItâs been a while.â
Carter smiled and sighed self-deprecatingly.
He raised his slightly trembling palms and touched Shirleyâs face.
However, when his fingers were about to touch Shirleyâs cheeks, his palms suddenly stiffened in the air.
âCarter?â Shirley looked at Carter, who was increasingly pale, in shock.
Suddenly, Carter, seemingly drained of all strength, fell to the ground. âCarter? Carter! â
