q“Bast*rd!” Morgan went ballistic. “Let go of her!”
“Haha...” A slight smile crept up on Chris' face. “Let's die together.”
As he spoke, white foam was seen spewing out of his mouth. Gradually, his arm became weaker and his grip loosen. Within moments, his body started to fall.

At first, Chris shut his eyes anticipating his fall. Little did he know that a hand would stretch out to save him.
