Chapter 1299
Sean’s chest tightened when he heard Madeline’s heartbreaking pleas.
“Don’t cry, Eveline. Dad will be alright.” He comforted her, his gaze exceptionally calm. “I refuse to believe that this man can really do whatever he wants!”
Sean glared fearlessly at Ryan.
“Stop talking, Dad. There’s nothing below him, he really will…” Madeline shook her head furiously as if her life depended on it. Fear filled her heart as she looked back at the sinister man with red eyes.
“Let my dad go, Ryan. I promise that I’ll persuade him to stop going against your wishes! You won’t have anything to control me with if something happens to my parents, Ryan!”
Madeline begged the man frantically and ended up threatening the man instead.
Ryan seemed to sway at the sight of tears and the rain mingling and falling off Madeline’s face.
“I can let him go if that’s what my wife wishes. However, he must learn to remember who he is and so do you. Try and become my enemy and the only ones who will suffer are all of you.”
Madeline then heard a bang, followed by Sean grunting in pain.
Madeline’s heart lurched as she snapped her head over to take a look!
Sean suffered a bullet to the leg and blood had begun to dye his pants red. The puddle of rain under his feet was turning red as well.
“Dad!”
Madeline felt a sword pierce her heart as she stared at Sean who had fallen to the ground, under the rain and barely conscious. Tears began to fall freely.
She summoned all her strength to pull herself out of Ryan’s grip, but her strength was no match for his.
“This is the price for trying to escape, Eveline.”
Ryan warned next to Madeline’s ear before he let go.
Free, Madeline dashed toward Sean. The rain had made the road slippery and Madeline ended up slipping and falling heavily onto the ground.
Multiple small cuts bloomed on her palms, but her priority was on Sean. Pushing herself back up through the pain, she ran toward her father and kneeled on the ground as she pulled him to her arms.
“Dad! Dad!”
