Chapter 106: Veritas (1)
Perhaps it was because his hands were trembling uncontrollably. With his heart pounding so loudly, it was impossible that Jane was dead.
Liam repeatedly tried to suppress the trembling in his hands, checking her neck and wrists, but nothing changed. He squeezed his eyes shut. The ringing in his ears was growing louder.
The shooter, seeing that Liam Moore, who should have been dead, was alive, let out a furious shout.
“No…”
Regardless, Liam could only hold Jane, his mouth opening and closing without sound. He didn’t know whether to be angry or despairing.
The woman was dead, without even a final scream, buried under the gunshot. She had given all her secrets to him and died, taking her dreadful memories with her.
All Liam Moore had was his apology. “I’m sorry,” was all he could say to her.
‘I knew it.’
He had known from the start that she had changed. He should have been honest from the beginning. He should have told her it didn’t matter who she was, that whether she was Jane or not, it made no difference to him. As long as she was there, he was satisfied.
