Chapter 425

“Really?” Winter no longer fought him the way she had moments ago. Her voice was very low, and her face was pale as pa

William’s chest ached at the sight of her. At that moment, he didn’t care that she was leaning against Chris. As long as she calm down, that was enough.

He said quietly, “Of course. Skyla is vicious. She said all that on purpose to hurt you. Why would you take her words to hear

After saying that, he glanced at Chris.

Chris only looked down at Winter in his arms, but William couldn’t forget the tear that had fallen from Chris’s eye the mor he shot Skyla.

It had shaken him badly.

What exactly had Skyla been about to say?”

Not far away, Sean noticed William pressing a hand to his abdomen, and his brows drew together.

He must have pulled his wound open.

Sean strode toward him.

“We need to get down the mountain first,” Chris said, tightening his arm around Winter.

Just as he was about to lift her, the satellite phone in one of his bodyguards‘ pockets vibrated.

“Mr. Xander, it’s Gavin,” the bodyguard said.

Chris took the phone.

Gavin’s normally steady voice carried a rage he could barely hold back.

“Mr. Xander, Fabian and Garrett got away. They had another helicopter waiting.

But at that moment, Winter suddenly broke free from Chris’s arms.

“Winnie!” Chris went after her.

Winter picked up a gun from the ground and staggered toward Skyla’s “body.”

She moved like a ghost, tears sliding from her hollow eyes.

Her child had died in place of…

No one noticed that the fingers of Skyla’s supposedly lifeless body moved slightly.

Chris’s shot had struck her in the chest.
