Thump!
Garnett tumbled down the stairs like a puppet with its strings cut. His head slammed hard against a pillar at the landing, and he finally stopped.
“Cough, cough…”
A violent tremor wracked his chest, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. A buzzing sound filled his ears as shattered images flashed through his mind, feeling like a thousand blades slicing through his flesh.
“Grady was in a car accident two months ago. He went off a bridge. His body was completely destroyed. He’s dead.”
“I can’t accept this. No, why should I have to accept this!”
“Relying on them is useless. I’d rather rely on myself. I’ll make you all pay!”
“I’m the one who had someone tamper with Grady’s car. But don’t you worry, you’ll be joining him soon enough!”
He remembered!
Everything that happened before he fell down the steps in the hospital garden… he remembered it all!
Garnett clutched the stab wound in his abdomen and opened his eyes. Blood from his forehead blurred his vision, staining his sight red.
Tap!
Tap!
Henry descended the stairs, his face a vicious snarl. The dagger in his hand glinted with a cold light, reflecting in Garnett’s eyes like the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
Garnett’s instincts screamed at him to run.
But he couldn’t stand. He could only turn over and crawl, dragging himself toward the door, leaving a long, dark streak of blood on the dusty floor.
Henry toyed with the dagger, following Garnett at a leisurely pace, always keeping a distance of two or three steps.
Garnett had been stabbed and had just tumbled down a flight of stairs. He was already exhausted. Halfway to the door, he could no longer move.
Henry walked up to his side and kicked him hard in the waist.
“Argh!”
