Kathleen could no longer care about the pain in her stomach. She looked nervously at John and asked, "John, you mustn't scare me!"
John shook his head.
He told Kathleen, "Don't be afraid. I'm fine."
How could he be fine?
When he opened his mouth to speak, so much blood flowed out.
Kathleen had also discovered that this man had several crossbow arrows pierced into his back!
He protected her, holding her tightly in his arms! There are bloody holes in his shoulder.
John is badly hurt.
Those bolts are poisonous! His mind is fading.
Bessie actually took a crossbow gun from her men and prepared to personally shoot and kill John, as well as Kathleen, in John's arms!
"Damn it! All of you deserve to die!" Bessie said hatefully as she approached John and Kathleen with the crossbow in her hand.
John protected Kathleen.
