"Elizabeth..."
Elizabeth's heart missed a beat. She stared at Theodore with her eyes widened and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
Theodore sighed slightly, "I... am going to die soon. I... haven't apologized to you formally yet. If I really die today, don't hate me anymore. If there is... a next life, I will definitely find you and... cherish you well."
Elizabeth looked at Theodore and kept shaking her head. She cried and growled, "Theodore, stop talking!" If he continued, he might really die.
Even if Theodore was just a stranger, she was not willing to see him dying, not to mention that they had known each other for many years.
He couldn't be killed!
Furthermore, she was more unwilling to see that this matter became a black mark against James.
A murderer...
He was so kind and warm. How could he bear such blame?
James looked at Theodore and turned to glance at Elizabeth.
Was she crying? Was she crying for Theodore, the jerk?
Thinking of this, James took a deep breath. He was angry and jealous. That kind of jealousy made his heart so painful that he was unable to breathe.
"D*mn it!" He roared angrily.
However, even though he had cursed, he didn't feel any better. On the contrary, he felt more uncomfortable and felt that he was poor to the extreme.
He was still in front of her, but she cried for a man who had nothing and had even cheated on her...
After a long while, James smiled faintly, pulled Theodore's collar, and said word by word with his teeth gritted.
"Theodore, don't you want to die so much? Okay! I will fulfill your wish today!" After yelling, James raised his fist and waved it at Theodore's throat...
"James!"
Elizabeth's body trembled and she screamed. After that, she couldn't care about anything else, quickly rushed forward and stood in front of Theodore.
She couldn't... let James beat Theodore to death. Even if she had to die, she would never let James become a murderer.
Absolutely not!
James had never thought that Elizabeth would rush to Theodore regardless of everything.
He was very close to Theodore, and he had used all his strength. Moreover, he didn't expect Elizabeth to come forward all of a sudden. Therefore, even if he tried to put away his hand when he saw Elizabeth rushing forward, he couldn't stop it and punch her on the chest.
"Oh..."
Elizabeth groaned in dull pain. She frowned tightly and her face turned pale in an instant. She looked like she was in extreme pain.
James widened his eyes and stared at Elizabeth whose face looked so agonizing in disbelief. His heart trembled, and then he looked at his right hand in a daze. He could not believe what he had just done.
The hand that had just beaten her suddenly began to shake violently.
There were bloodstains on that hand, and it was Theodore's blood, but his eyes were dazzled at this time.
Even though he had tried to reduce his strength when she came forward, he still beat her.
No matter what, he had beaten her.
He, beat her...
"I'm so... cold..." Saying this, Theodore trembled and reached out to hold Elizabeth's right hand, "Elizabeth... What about you? Are you all right?"
Elizabeth nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm fine." Although she answered like this, she didn't feel well at all.
In many TV series, those who were seriously injured would say that they were cold when they were dying. Would Theodore... die?
"You are so stupid... Just let him kill me. Why are you so silly? I... don't deserve your kindness..."
"Don't speak now. Don't say anything. I don't blame you anymore." Elizabeth looked at Theodore's face carefully, "Can you stand up now? Let me take you to the hospital, okay?"
Before Theodore responded, James, who was behind them, chuckled softly.
Elizabeth's heart missed a beat as she quickly turned around. When she saw James's face, she frowned and felt a little nervous.
At this time, James stared at her and Theodore with a depressed look on his face, and his smile was somewhat self-mocking.
"James, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, James just looked at her blandly without saying anything. He shook his head lightly, feeling that he was so somber in heart and even his breathing had become rapid.
Elizabeth said anxiously, "Call an ambulance right now. He... Theodore seems to be badly injured." She was really afraid that Theodore would die.
After a while, James still didn't reply to her and looked at her in the same way.
Elizabeth said worriedly, "Hurry up."
James said coldly when he heard this, "He won't die. Why are you so worried?"
"You..."
