A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 658

Nina saw the guy all tied up in the chair, both legs shot up and bleeding like a stuck pig. It was a scary sight.

She quickly wriggled out from her bodyguard, ran to Casey, and grabbed his pants and shook them.

"Dad, I've called the doctor over. Can you let him take a look at this sir's legs first?"

The guy was all pale and trembling. Nina didn't know if it was because he was scared of her dad or his wounds were killing him.

All she knew was that seeing him like this made her heart ache.

The guy she remembered was always cool and laid back, hands in his pockets. She'd never seen him look so helpless.

She hoped her dad would let him go and let the doctor get to work because if they delayed any longer, he'd bleed out.

Casey looked down at the little girl tugging at his pants and slowly, a gentle smile spread across his face.

"Nina, how about you play a game with daddy, then I'll let the doctor cure his legs, okay?"

"Okay."

Nina nodded obediently, without a hint of suspicion.

Casey scooped up Nina and handed her the gun. "Remember how daddy taught you to shoot?"

Nina nodded again. "I remember."

Casey reached out and flicked Nina's nose. "You're so smart, Nina."

Nina, pleased with the praise, lifted her round chin and sought a reward from Casey.

"Dad, since I'm so smart, can you let this guy go?"

Casey laughed and nodded. "Sure, but you have to play a game with daddy first."

Nina tilted her head and asked innocently, "What game?"

Casey grabbed Nina's little hand, placed it on the trigger, and said with a smile, "You've practiced shooting before, but you've never shot at a real person. How about today we use this guy as a target? You shoot, okay?"

Nina might be young, but she understood what her dad was saying. She struggled with it and finally shook her head. "No, I don't want to hurt him..."

Casey's smile broadened. "Nina, you just need to fire once, and daddy will let him go. Otherwise, daddy won't let him leave..."

Ethan, who'd been regretting everything, looked up in disbelief when he heard their conversation.

"You taught her to shoot?!"

Nina was not even six, and Casey had taught her to shoot!

"Not teach her to shoot? Should I teach her to read instead?"

After his mocking reply, Casey turned back to Nina. "Do you like reading?"
