"I believe in you, Vernon," Chloe's voice was gentle like a feather tickling Vernon's heart. After realizing that Vernon started to loosen up, she added, "I know you're angry, but you need to understand that I don't want to lose you."
Vernon was stunned the moment Chloe said that sentence. He closed his eyes, trying to hide the pain in his eyes. But Chloe read him like an open book, so he thought there was no hiding it.
"It's not fair," Vernon muttered, his voice was a little dry, and he was holding his tears. "Why are you saying that when I'm about to kill someone."
"Now I can't get angry anymore. I don't want to lose you either…."
Chloe chuckled. Despite the pain she was enduring right now, her heart felt no fear.
Even after facing the monstrous man who abused her for ten years straight, her heart was filled with courage and warmth. This was the first time she fought against her nightmare, and it felt damn good.
