Ch. 526..530: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 526-530
Chapter 526: She Decided To Left Him
“Don’t you dare do that!” Kylie raised her voice. “If you dare hurt him, I’ll kill myself.”
Stephen squinted and looked dangerous while staring at her,
He wanted to vent his anger at her, but he loved her too much to do so. He wanted to be violent, but she was pregnant now.
Whoever fell in deeper love, he or she lost the game.
Stephen loved Kylie so much that he couldn’t lose his temper before her face.
He abruptly loosened his hand and took a long breath several times, facing Kylie with his back, but he was still mad.
Kylie rubbed her painful wrist and relaxed a little.
She said that to test Stephen because she wasn’t sure how tolerant he was towards her.
“Star, why are you doing all of this?” Kylie opened her mouth, and her gentle voice rang. Tears began to gather at the corner of her eyes.
Stephen looked at her, wearing a sad expression, “You should know the answer to that question. Do you want to hear it from my mouth? I only have you in my life. Ethan lives a good life, and everyone loved him. He had everything in a quick snap. Our biological parents loved him, and nobody cares about me. Kylie, he is stronger than me, and he had everyone’s support, including the entire werewolf-vampire clan. I pretended all of my life and my existence wasn’t significant at all. The moment Ethan told me to take care of you ten years ago, when he had to leave for a while, I told myself you’re the only person who I could have to.
Hearing Stephen’s words, it brought heavy emotion to Kylie, and her heart sank in pain while tears were streaming down from her eyes. ” Star, you knew that I love him so much, yet you force me to be with you,”
“Should I care whom you love most?” His voice became gentle.
Kylie was stunned, and she wiped her tears off. Tired of listening to his reason, she said, “I need to go back to work this afternoon.”
She should leave now.
Stephen turned around with his arms pressed against the car door. “I already gave you the medicine; when can you fulfill your promise?”
Kylie bit her lips. “When will you finish the deal with Tory?”
Stephen smiled. “In three days. I’ll pick you up at the same place.”
Kylie thought to herself that her part in Oh, Mother, could also be finished after three days. “Sure, see you in three days!”
Kylie gave the ointment to the housekeeper once she was back in the Finch family’s house.
“Remember to apply this ointment to Ethan on your own. Never allow another person to do that,” Kylie said to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper nodded. “Mrs. Parker, Lord Ethan is much better now, and scabs are forming on his back.” He stopped for a second, then looked at Kylie’s hand. “How about your injury?”
Kylie shook her hand. “It’s not a big deal. You don’t need to worry about me.”
After that, Kylie went to pack up some clothing and told the housekeeper that she would work overtime at the show set.
If she were really going to leave Ethan, she would rather leave him from the show set instead of their sweet home.
It was already 10 pm, but Ethan was still absent. Kylie told the housekeeper to put her suitcase into the car, and she pushed the door of the babies’ room open.
Ethan assembled everything in the room.
Kylie touched the wall padding with the left hand and covered her belly with another. “Babies, I’m afraid you can’t have fun here in the future.”
She whimpered, and the picture of Ethan assembling things up according to the instruction emerged in her sight again and again. She should have helped him back then so that she could have a good memory with him here, at least.
There were all kinds of babies’ clothes for babies aged from a month to three years old hanging in the closet.
Kylie was shocked and burst into tears.
Ethan had never told her that he already prepared so much clothing for their babies.
When did he do that?
Although Ethan seemed to be serious and cold, he was doing what a father should do without telling anyone.
Kylie raised her head to stop her tears from falling. When she finally composed herself, she found piles of books for children along with an MP3 player placed in another closet.
Kylie picked it up and pressed the play button, then heard Ethan’s singing.
She wasn’t able to control her emotions anymore and cried again.
Ethan was reluctant to sing children’s songs when she forced him to do so, but he secretly recorded some himself. If she and Ethan still trusted each other, their babies could be enjoying these songs now.
“Mrs. Parker, the car’s ready.” The housekeeper’s voice sounded downstairs.
Kylie wiped her eyes and put several books together with the MP3 player into her handbag. These were the gifts for the babies from their father, and she must take some away.
When Kylie got in the car, she wore a pair of sunglasses to hide her swollen red eyes.
“Please help me take good care of him,” Kylie said to the housekeeper with the car window in the middle.
“Mrs. Parker, don’t worry, I promise Lord Ethan will be healthy and strong as usual when you come back home,” the housekeeper said with a smile, thinking that Ethan was getting better.
Hearing that, Kylie felt like crying again and told the chauffeur to start the car at once.
Seeing the car moving away, the housekeeper went to the study and reported it to Ethan. “Lord Ethan, Mrs. Parker is gone.”
There was no light in the study except moonlight. He was busy lately, planning to seize Stephen.
Ethan stood by the window, staring at the car, disappearing in his sight. “What did she take with her?”
“Mrs. Parker said she needs to stay in the show set for three days, so she only took some changes of clothes,” the housekeeper said with great respect.
“Great.” Ethan nodded, then walked into the darkness.
It wasn’t a bad thing that Kylie wasn’t home. They were about to conduct their plan, after all. If any information was leaked, his teammates might be suspicious of Kylie again.
Ethan was still annoyed at Kylie about her relationship with Stephen, but he couldn’t help learning the latest information about her.
Therefore, the housekeeper visited the show set every day.
He made an excuse that Barbara told him to send Kylie nutritious soup, then collected information on her at the set. After that, he went back to the Finch family’s house and reported it to Ethan.
Seeing that Ethan cared about Kylie so much, the housekeeper didn’t have the heart to keep it a secret that Kylie had tested the ointment herself from Ethan any longer.
“Lord Ethan, please forgive me and don’t get Mrs. Parker wrong. She really cares about you.” The housekeeper understood he annoyed two of them at the same time.
Ethan was mad after knowing that. “Do you mean those medicines are from Stephen?”
“I don’t know how Mrs. Parker got them, but they’re really effective! Several doctors told me that your life was in danger before, but now you’ve got much better within just a week,” the housekeeper said.
“What did you say?” Ethan caught the housekeeper’s collar and lifted him up from the floor.
The housekeeper trembled in fear. “W-Well, the previous doctors all agreed that only the Ghost Doctor could cure you. I told Lord Nate, and he told Mrs. Parker…” Before he could finish, Ethan threw him back to the floor.
No wonder why Nate was so sure that Kylie must have met Stephen because Nate knew only Stephen could cure him!
Kylie had contacted Stephen to save his life!
If so, he had misunderstood her.
An idea dawned on Ethan, and he strode straight to the master bedroom. He opened the closets in their bedroom. Luckily, Kylie, indeed, just bring a few clothes away with her.
However, he still had a bad feeling.
The babies’ room!
Ethan pushed the door of the babies’ room open and checked around with a look.
He found books, and the MP3 players were absent at a glance.
If Kylie just went to work in the show set, it was impossible that she would bring those things away with her.
Ethan panicked and realized Kylie left him!
Chapter 527: Is She Really With Stephen Now?
He called Kylie three times, but her phone was turned off.
Ethan got nervous. He ran back to their room and seated at the couch, beginning to use his mind power, aiming to search his wife, but he failed to locate her. He knew Stephen sealed Kylie’s location.
“Fuck you, Stephen, I will kill you!” He growled.
He now understood why Kylie kept in touch with Stephen. She wanted to get the medicines to cure him.
No matter how much Stephen loved Kylie, it was impossible that he would give those medicines to her for nothing. They must have a secret deal.
Ethan walked downstairs in a hurry. The housekeeper didn’t understand what had happened, nor dare to say a word when he saw Ethan’s mad face.
The Knight XV started and left the Finch family’s house at high speed.
There were few vehicles on the road at night, and the dim light quickly moved over the car.
The set of Oh, Mother was still at work. When a tall, strong furious man walked inside, those girls who normally loved handsome men all escaped aside in fear.
The executive director withdrew his sight from the screen and asked with dissatisfaction, “Which team are you from? Don’t you know…”
Before he could finish, Ethan grabbed his shirt. “Where is Kylie?”
“Kylie?” The executive director was scared by the violent man before his face. “Oh, she already finished her part today and left this afternoon.”
Ethan threw him back to the chair, then strode away.
Kylie left home and the set. Is she really with Stephen now?
The moment Ethan got in his car, his phone rang. “Lord Ethan, many cars go in and out of the auto repair shop these days. I’m afraid they’re ready for the deal.”
Vincent sounded quite excited. They had watched the auto repair shop for so long and finally got some useful information.
Ethan took a long breath in. “I’ll be right there.”
Nate arrived at the same time as Ethan. Seeing Ethan looking much better now, he beamed and said, “Ethan, you look so good today! Did you restore your body?”
Ethan leaned on his car, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, staring at Nate.
Fannie didn’t come with Nate today, so Nate was on crutches. When Nate walked near, Ethan stuck out a leg.
He moved fast, and Nate fell down to the ground before others could clearly see what had happened.
Nate was confused. He raised his head and asked Ethan in annoyance, “What are you doing? We’re about to catch Clown!”
Ethan squatted and squeezed the cigarette into Nate’s mouth. “Do I need to thank you?” He took out a lighter.
Nate felt frightened, seeing the flame dancing right at the front of his face.
He opened his mouth to say something but didn’t dare let the cigarette fall. “Ethan, it’s not appropriate if you light the cigarette for me in person. Thank God that you’re much better now.”
“Oh?” Ethan shut the lighter close. “Did Moon mother tell Kylie only Stephen can cure me?”
Nate got nervous, and the cigarette fell down from his mouth.
He had chosen to tell Kylie precisely because he was sure Kylie could get effective medicines from Stephen. He took that advantage to help Ethan through Kylie’s effort approaching Stephen.
He also had planned to catch Stephen through Kylie but failed.
“Well, I did have the idea to use Kylie to catch Stephen. Although it failed, your body is much better now. It’s still beneficial to some extent, right?” Nate said.
“Kylie was gone. It would be best if you wished I could still take back my wife or else and would give you a severe punishment,” Ethan dumped the lighter on Nate’s body, then walked into Vincent’s side.
Nate repeated that sentence but didn’t understand it.
He picked the lighter and cigarette up. “Are you blind? Come and support me up!” he shouted to his chauffeur.
In the meeting room, Vincent played surveillance videos of the auto repair shop during these days to Ethan. “Lord Ethan, this, and that car only stayed in the auto repair shop for several minutes. The drivers didn’t get off at all.”
Ethan tapped his fingers on the tabletop, fixing his eyes on the screen.
However, they couldn’t find any hints after watching the video again and again.
“Ethan, what does it mean that Kylie is gone?” Nate walked in on crutches at this moment.
“Kylie is gone?” Vincent was surprised.
Ethan pressed the stop button and turned to look at them. “Stephen advances the deal, and Kylie should be with him now.”
“Well, I think it’s fine. He loves Kylie…” Nate wanted to comfort Ethan but realized he shouldn’t have said that. “Um, if he’s going to finish the deal with Tory in advance, he’ll choose a place that is convenient for both of them to retreat. Only the dock or the mountain area can satisfy their need. After all, Stephen had enough power as a wolf too,”
Nate avoided Ethan’s cold eyes and said to Vincent, “We went to catch them at the dock last time, so I think we should go to the mountain area this time.”
Vincent shook his head. “I don’t think so. They need helicopters if they want to retreat from the mountain area, but we haven’t found any hints of it.”
Nate raised his fist and hit Vincent without hesitation. He said that only to distract Ethan, but Vincent told the truth!
Vincent rubbed his chest, looking at Ethan.
Ethan clenched his teeth, and his eyes were ablaze with fury.
The office fell into dead silence for a few seconds, and Vincent even could hear the sound of the clock hanging on the wall.
After a long while, Ethan opened his mouth. “Stephen will finish the deal at the dock again.”
“Why?” Nate blurted it out. “He isn’t dumb.”
Both Ethan and Vincent rolled their eyes at Nate.
Vincent explained for Ethan. “If Stephen were dumb, we should have caught him a long time ago. The most dangerous place is also the safest place, but the coastline of Seattle is too long. It isn’t easy to make sure of their special location.”
“We can assemble all our people to find them!” Nate got excited all of a sudden.
“They can finish the deal within half an hour. We don’t have much time to search for them,” Vincent said.
It wasn’t a big deal if Stephen escaped again, but it was big trouble if he left with Kylie.
“Gather your people together, and be ready.” Ethan stood up from the chair and patted Nate’s shoulder. Nate was scared and almost couldn’t standstill.
Ethan would do everything to find Kylie.
When Ethan already reached the door, he turned around and said to Nate, “Turn on your positioning system. You may receive a signal at any time.”
Chapter 528: Why Did Kylie Do That?
Ethan hoped Kylie was still wearing the bracelet he sent her.
If Kylie still remembered its function or wanted to help them catch Stephen, she would use the alarm system to expose Stephen’s location.
Stephen arranged everything well but still couldn’t help calling Kylie. As he had planned, he would pick Kylie up at the set tomorrow morning.
He called twice, but nobody answered, so he had to call the set.
Kate picked up his call but also told him that Kylie already left after finishing her part.
Stephen was mad.
If Kylie betrayed their agreement, he would punish Ethan for it!
Therefore, when Ethan received Stephen’s call, he was surprised but soon understood it.
He thought Stephen called him to show off, but it sounded different.
Ethan gave Nate a glance to tell him to use the monitoring function to make sure the location of the caller. “Stephen, if you confess to crimes to the police, I can help you get a lighter sentence.”
Stephen snorted with disdain, “Ethan, don’t act kind before my face. Although you have enough medicine to recover, I can still easily poison you. Even if I can’t get Kylie, I won’t let you spend the rest of your life with her!”
Ethan carefully discerned the sound in the receiver. It was tranquil. There was no whistles of ships, nor wind or talking.
Is he really hiding in the mountain area?
“I have tons of time, which you don’t have,” Ethan sneered. “You’ll soon be caught. And I will assure you only one of us will win this battle. We both opted to live like a human, but you’re taking everything that belongs to me,”
“Oh, our Lord Ethan, seems threatening his little twin brother. Funny, you think I am afraid to fight you. Let’s see!” Stephen clenched his teeth in anger and hung up.
Nate took off the headset and shook his head towards Ethan. “There is an anti-monitoring system, and I didn’t have enough time to crack it.”
“Stephen himself is a computer master, and the software he set cannot be cracked in a short time,” Vincent sighed.
Nate put his injured leg on a nearby chair. “He is proficient in medicine and a computer expert. He can save people and also kill them without them knowing it. And I am sure before we could seize him, he already had prepared his plan ahead of us. I just can’t figure out why he is doing all of this. It’s just because of Kylie; he will ruin our race? It’s a waste of his talent if he doesn’t commit crimes.”
Vincent made a cough to remind Nate to stop complimenting Stephen at this moment.
Nate felt a little embarrassed, then looked at Ethan. “Ethan, if Kylie isn’t with Stephen. Where could she be right now?”
Ethan’s eyes lit up all of a sudden. He remembered that the little boy who stayed in his home was also gone with Kylie. In that case, Kylie must go to Tory’s side.
Why did Kylie do that?
Stephen was as confused as Ethan. He stepped in circles with a frown. The housekeeper walked ahead to comfort him. “Lord Stephen, if Kylie doesn’t come, we can invite her to come here.”
“Don’t hurt Kylie!” Stephen denied it at once.
The housekeeper smiled. “We just invite her to have a visit here. If she’s willing to cooperate, we won’t hurt her.”
Stephen turned to stare at the housekeeper, then caught his neck. “I said, don’t hurt her. Don’t you understand?”
The smile disappeared from the housekeeper’s face in an instant. “I was just saying.”
Stephen threw the housekeeper to the ground. The housekeeper moaned in pain but didn’t dare say another word.
“We’ll finish the deal tonight. Go prepare for it!” Stephen made an order without turning around at all.
He was determined to get Kylie!
Once the deal was done, he had enough time and energy to grab her back!
***
The dock they were going to finish the deal was already abandoned, and there was a large playground which was still under construction nearby.
The clouds were thick tonight, and the moon seemed to know that a battle was about to take place. It hid away again after showing up for just a few minutes.
When it was 9 pm, on the coastline without any light, people could only hear the sound of waves beating against it.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance, and two flashing headlights flashed in the dark on the shore.
At the same time, Nate’s computer sounded an alarm.
“Ethan, it lights up!” Nate got excited.
A bright red dot was moving on the screen of the computer.
Ethan looked serious at once. He enlarged the map on display. Nate approached and said, “Ethan, was Kylie swallowed by a shark?”
Vincent glanced at Ethan, then made a call to assemble his people without delay.
Two groups of people were already gathered at the dock.
Tory walked off the boat with two black bodyguards, carrying two leather suitcases.
Among two dazzling headlights, a pair stood, headed by a tall, handsome young man.
Tory seemed surprised. “Mr. Brown?”
Clown was given this name because he always appeared in a clown mask.
Besides, he was good at disguising. He could be short, tall, fat, or thin with a young man’s voice or an old man’s voice.
However, the mysterious Mr. Brown showed up with his real face this time.
Stephen smiled. “Been a while, Mr. Romeo.”
Tory observed him from head to toe, then joked, “Is it also a human-skin mask?”
Stephen didn’t answer the question but waved his hand. Two men walked out from his back at once. “Are you satisfied with the goods?”
“Of course, yes.” Tory also told the two black bodyguards behind him to step ahead and show the two leather suitcases.
All of them seemed very kind and exchanged the leather boxes. Afterward, they opened those boxes for a check, then reported it to their leaders that the money and goods were all correct.
“Great, see you.” Tory smiled and turned to walk to his yacht.
When he just walked a short distance away, Stephen opened his mouth. “Mr. Romeo, Seattle, is an entertaining city. Why don’t you stay here for a couple of days longer?”
Tory turned to face him. “I think you want me to stay here forever.”
“You’re smart.” The second Stephen finished his sentence, a row of people rushed out of the dark. Each of them held a semi-automatic pistol in their hands.
Tory and the two bodyguards were all in the range, but he didn’t panic at all. Instead, it seemed he even looked forward to seeing what would happen.
“No wonder Mr. Brown let me see your real face this time. You plan to kill me.” As soon as Tory’s hand reached into his jacket pocket, sounds of pulling bolts were heard.
Nevertheless, he was still calm as usual and took out a cigar at a slow pace.
A black bodyguard at his side approached and lit it for him.
Tory pulled on it, looking up at the sky, then slowly blew out a stream of smoke. “If so, I also have prepared a big gift for Mr. Brown.”
The yacht docked on the shore suddenly lit up, and two men pushed a woman walking onto the deck.
The sea breeze at night messed up her long hair and rolled up her rose-colored trench coat. Although she looked a little untidy, she was still so charming.
The girl shouted at Tory, “You’re a jerk! Let me go!”
Chapter 529: Don’t RushTory laughed out loud. “Well, I think it depends on Mr. Brown.”
Stephen fixed his eyes on the girl ever since she appeared.
Kylie? Why is she in Tory’s hands?
Ethan and his people arrived at the same time, and they also saw the shocking scene. Vincent was anxious and said to Ethan, “Lord Ethan, Kylie is in Tory’s hands now! I’m good at swimming, and I can rescue her.”
However, when Vincent just moved, Ethan pressed his shoulder and stopped him. “Don’t rush.”
Vincent was surprised. No one was more worried than Ethan when they failed to find Kylie, but now he wasn’t in a hurry to rescue her?
Stephen moved a few steps forward, and a gun pointed at Kylie’s head at once.
Tory smoked and said with a smile, “If you move one step further, three of them could be killed.”
Stephen’s hands behind his back were clenched into fists, but he still looked very calm. “You should say that to Ethan, not me.”
“Really?” Tory glanced at Stephen with the cigar dangling from his mouth. He raised his hands and hit them together twice.
A man standing behind Kylie quickly pulled out his pistol and shot Kylie’s shoulder.
It happened so fast, and a harsh shot sounded in the night.
“Ah!” Kylie knelt on the deck.
The trench coat on her shoulder was soon soaked with blood.
Stephen rushed forward in anxiety but forced himself to stop the next second. He wasn’t sure whether Tory would really shoot at Kylie, so he had to stay calm.
Drug-dealers had to be cold-blooded and cruel. Once his enemy got his weak spot, he was doomed.
The waves were louder, and the wind was wilder. A strong bloody smell was blown by the sea wind to the front of Stephen. He couldn’t stand it any longer.
Kylie was pregnant now, and she was vulnerable.
If she wasn’t administered right away, her life could be in danger.
“Our deal has nothing to do with her.” Stephen frowned. “Let her go.”
Tory shook his hands. “Since when has Mr. Brown become so kind?”
Seeing Kylie getting weaker, Stephen lost patience. “She could be dead within half an hour, and you’ll lose your only bargaining chip.”
“Very well, let’s talk now.” Tory pointed at the two leather suitcases at Stephen’s side and said, “I want my money back.”
“Impossible!” Stephen’s eyes became cold in an instant.
He planned to occupy both the goods and the money himself, but now Tory took the initiative.
Right at this moment, Kylie said in a weak voice, “Star, forget about me. Even if you rescue me, I won’t be with you. If I’m killed, please tell Ethan that I love him, and I just want to be together with him forever.”
“Shut up!” Stephen yelled. “I won’t give you back to Ethan!”
After that, he pressed his lips with great force. “Give him the money.”
“Lord Stephen…” The housekeeper hugged a large box of dollars in arms and was reluctant to give it back.
“Give him!” Stephen rounded his eyes in anger.
The housekeeper licked his lips but didn’t dare argue against Stephen.
It was a large amount of money.
Tory weighed the leather box with a satisfied smile on his face. “Great. When the ship sails to a safe sea, I’ll let her go back, but I can’t be sure she could stay alive.”
“Wait a minute!” Stephen stepped forward again. “I can exchange myself with her. Hold me your hostage!”
Tory stared at him as if he was thinking about it.
“Think about it twice. I’m better than Kylie.” Stephen pointed at the row of people behind him. “My people won’t care about Kylie’s life if they fail to make money. If you hold me, hostage, it’ll be different.” Tory agreed and nodded. “No problem, do that on my boat.”
When they walked to the yacht, Vincent said to Ethan again, “Lord Ethan, we can’t wait any longer.”
“Be patient.” Ethan still looked calm.
“Kylie’s injured,” Vincent said.
“I know,” Ethan replied.
Hearing that, Vincent was confused.
Isn’t Kylie the apple of Lord Ethan’s eye? Didn’t Kylie just say she only loves him? Why is Lord Ethan so calm now?
Kylie heard rapid footsteps on the deck.
“Kylie!” Stephen ran towards her, but a handgun was pressed against the back of his waist.
“Don’t move,” Tory said.
“Tory, you’ve promised to let her go!” Stephen turned to glare at Tory.
“I changed my mind now.” Tory smiled and sat on the chair his bodyguard moved out. “If she goes back alive but injured, Ethan won’t forgive me. I think I can make up a lie and send her back to Ethan after she’s dead.”
“I can tell him that you kill her in anger because she refuses to leave with you. In that case, someone will help me kill you.”
“I can kill you with a borrowed sword.”
“How dare you!” Stephen clenched his teeth. “You’re a bastard!”
“Don’t blame me for that.” Tory smiled all the time. “I used to think to leave with Kylie, but you tried to kill me, so I have to change my mind.”
The housekeeper who followed Stephen behind the seashore got angry when he found Stephen was trapped because of Kylie.
If it hadn’t been for Kylie, Stephen wouldn’t have advanced this deal.
If it hadn’t been for Kylie, Stephen wouldn’t have given the money back to Tory.
If it hadn’t been for Kylie, Stephen wouldn’t be cornered now.
The housekeeper took out his handgun with an expressionless face. He pointed it at Tory but moved it to Kylie the next second.
Both Tory and Ethan were shocked by the scene.
Vincent and Ethan hid themselves behind the housekeeper, but they didn’t have enough time to rescue Kylie at this moment.
Ethan was utterly regretful now. He shouldn’t have put Kylie into such a dangerous situation.
The only thing he could do now was to shoot the housekeeper to death.
He moved fast and shot at the housekeeper’s head.
Unfortunately, the housekeeper shot his gun at the same time.
“Kylie!” Stephen shouted and dashed to protect Kylie with his back.
The housekeeper, who was falling down at a slow pace, witnessed the bullet he fired hit Stephen’s heart.
As Stephen’s suit exploded, blood splattered on Kylie’s face. “A-Are you alright?” His voice was as gentle as always.
Chapter 530: He Prepared To Die In Kylie’s Hand
“Stephen!” Kylie was also shocked by the abrupt change.
When she agreed with Tory to help him safely leave here, she knew it was dangerous.
However, she was willing to risk her life if Ethan could catch Stephen.
She was aware that Stephen cared about her, but she was astonished to see him protecting her from the bullet with his own body.
It was hard to describe how shocked she was right now with words.
Ethan, who witnessed everything, felt grateful for what Stephen had done but also got jealous.
It was his duty to protect Kylie after all.
He thought he could control the situation and even believed he was able to catch Stephen without hurting Kylie.
Seeing Kylie hugging Stephen in her arms now, he had mixed emotions.
The bullet hit through a certain blood vessel, which caused blood to gush out from Stephen’s chest. Even though Stephen was shot at his chest, he still smiled lying in Kylie’s arms.
“The i-injury…” Stephen did his best to touch Kylie’s shoulder.
Kylie burst into tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I deceived you.” She wasn’t injured at all, but there was a blood bag hidden on her shoulder.
Stephen still smiled. “Oh, right. Y-You’re an actress. G-Glad to know that.” He gasped for breath for a while, then continued, “I think you can win the Best Actress award.”
Kylie shook her head with great force. “I’m sorry. Please, please don’t die. Tory’s doctor is very skilled in medicine. He can help you.” When Kylie was about to turn around, Stephen caught her arm.
No matter how painful it was, Stephen always pretended to be relaxed facing Kylie. “Don’t bother. I’ll be dead too if I’m caught. I prefer to…”
He preferred to die in Kylie’s arms.
Right at this moment, they heard another round of rapid footsteps, and Dinah dashed to the deck shouting at Stephen, “Stephen, are you an idiot?”
Stephen did his best to turn around. When he saw Dinah, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant. “W-What are you doing h-here?”
“Tory held me hostage, so Kylie agreed to help him catch you.” Dinah wiped her eyes, then knelt before Stephen. She wanted to check his wound, but he avoided her hand.
“Dinah.” Stephen tried to say a complete sentence. “If you really love me, please don’t occupy my last time.”
Dinah flushed. She glanced at Kylie, then walked away.
He only wanted to share his last time with Kylie.
Ethan got aboard without anyone knowing it. He patted Dinah’s shoulder.
Dinah felt aggrieved and cried when Ethan showed up in her sight. Vincent behaved like a gentleman and comforted Dinah with a hug.
Stephen glanced at them, then smiled, looking at Kylie. “Kylie, t-this is my h-happiest moment throughout m-my life.” There was blood around the corners of his lips, but he was still good-looking as usual.
Kylie bit her lips and whimpered, “I didn’t want you to die. I-I just wanted to stop you from doing wrong things.”
“You just wanted to help Ethan,” Stephen said in a weak voice. “Kylie, there is something I want to tell you.”
Kylie nodded and approached his mouth.
Stephen held Kylie’s hand and said by her ears, “Bear that in your mind that I’m the star in your life forever.”
Afterward, Stephen pushed Kylie away with all of his strength, then rolled ahead on the floor.
“Kylie!” Ethan ran towards Kylie.
“Stephen!” Dinah ran towards Stephen.
Kylie stumbled backward and fell into Ethan’s strong arms.
Dinah rushed to the edge but failed to stop Stephen from falling. She just caught his sleeve. “Don’t die!”
Stephen’s body was hanging in the air like a leave that swayed and couldn’t wait to fall.
“Do you love me?” Stephen asked Dinah with a serious face.
“Yes!” Dinah nodded.
“Let me fall,” Stephen said.
Dinah cried, shaking her head. She refused to loosen her hand, even though Stephen’s sleeve was slipping off her palm.
Stephen’s wound was bleeding all the time. It was impossible for him to survive, but Dinah wanted to keep his body.
However, it seemed Stephen already made up his mind not to be caught by Ethan, so he gave Dinah a gentle smile.
Dinah had never seen that expression on Stephen’s face before. She was struck dumb for a second, and Stephen got rid of her hand at once.
With a loud sound, Stephen fell into the ocean.
The blue surface of the ocean was dyed red in an instant.
Ethan covered Kylie’s eyes with his hand and pressed her to his strong chest.
“Ethan…” Kylie hugged his waist and leaned her head on his chest.
Dinah stood still by the edge of the yacht for a few seconds, then fell unconscious.
Clown was dead now, and the rest two men seemed to be enemies.
Vincent protected Ethan and Kylie at his back, then pointed at Tory with a handgun. “Freeze!”
Tory behaved like an onlooker from the beginning to the end. He sat in the chair, smoking his cigar at ease. Even if dozens of guns were pointing at him, he was still a decent gentleman.
“I don’t move at all.” Tory tapped ash from his cigar with a smile on his face.
Vincent held the gun and asked Ethan, “Lord Ethan, we can catch Tory back.”
Ethan moved his eyes away from Kylie to Tory, then put on a mysterious smile. “Been a while, my old friend.”
Tory cocked his eyebrow and shrugged. Nobody knew whether he accepted this title or not.
Kylie was surprised, looking at Ethan. Ethan pulled her out from his arms, then walked to Tory holding her hand. “The drug is yours, but the Clown’s body is mine.”
Tory put out the cigar, then stood up smiling. The two-man of the same height had totally different airs when they stood together.
Ethan had a natural air of power, while Tory was a noble gentleman.
