Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 760

Teresa shook her head, her defiance almost stubborn as she buried her face in Frederick's chest:

"I won't! I won't! I want to stay with you! Daddy! I want to stay with you!"

"Is it that hard to leave? Teresa, do you really want to stay with him?"

Maurice's voice sounded like a final ultimatum.

But Teresa wasn't looking at him anymore; she was frantically trying to cover Frederick's wound with her small hands, but the blood kept gushing out, unstoppable.

"Daddy, I don't want to leave you... Can we wait for mommy to come and save us? Please hold on a bit longer, don't close your eyes, please don't close your eyes..."

Meanwhile, the walkie-talkie crackled to life again:

"Mr. Winston, Marguerite has entered the villa; she's searching everywhere for Frederick."

This time, Maurice gave no response.

He dropped the walkie-talkie and pointed a gun straight at Teresa.

Bang—

The sound of the gunshot was sharp and explosive, causing Teresa a momentary ringing in her ears, her throat unable to emit any sound.

She saw Frederick yelling at her, but she couldn't hear anything.

The immense force of the impact made her fall into the man's chest, as if every organ in her body had exploded, and her mouth suddenly filled with a salty, metallic liquid.

She spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Daddy... it hurts... it hurts so much..."

"Teresa!"
