After Ethan understood the situation, he gently raised his finger, stroked the gun, and looked up at Nina who was standing under the curtain, obediently waiting for him to shoot. Her round little face, her eyebrows, her features were all very much like his own, but her eyes were like Emilia's, so clear, so bright.
Such clear eyes shouldn't be tainted by a bloody scene...
Ethan looked at Nina and smiled.
"Nina, promise me one thing..."
"Okay."
Nina didn't even ask, and nodded obediently. Seeing how obedient she was, Ethan was reluctant to let go of his own daughter, but he still forced himself to say it.
"You turn around first."
Obediently, Nina turned around.
Looking at her round little back, Ethan's eyes filled with tears once again.
"Nina, when you hear the gunshot don't turn around, unless I call your name, got it?"
"Got it!"
Nina responded loudly, her crisp voice echoing around the whole theater.
Ethan finally felt relieved, his eyes lowered, tears falling onto the back of his hand.
He wiped away the tears with his fingers, then suddenly lifted the gun and fired four shots into the wall.
The gun, which Casey had removed three bullets from, had three left, Nina fired once, so it was empty.
Now the four shots he fired, two were blanks, the other two, had fired two bullets.
Only one bullet left.
Ethan saved it for himself.
Without any hesitation, he pointed the pistol in the direction of his heart——
Truth be told, he didn't deserve to live long ago, but he just didn't have the courage to face Emilia.
Now, this bullet, on the contrary, freed him, only...
He couldn't bear to leave his daughter.
He raised his reddened eyes, looking at the back figure that hadn't turned around, and laughed.
