Edward Kirsten pulled Charlotte Lane to his right side, protecting her with his body.
The bullet went through his left chest and fell to the ground.
Charlotte stared at Edward in shock, her ears buzzing.
Edward looked down at her and forced a smile. Following that, he could no longer support himself and fell to the ground.
Charlotte grabbed his arm, and as he fell, she knelt beside him, preventing him from lying directly on the ground.
Wooden planks were beneath them, making a thud sound when they fell.
Edward grabbed her sleeve: "Does it hurt?"
Charlotte stared at Edward, still numb, and not responding.
As the blood on Edward's chest slowly spread, her eyes gradually filled with tears.
"I have to admit, although I thought about dying together, in the end, I still hope you can live."
Since Edward was shot, the sniper had not fired again.
Harton Clark ran over from a distance, but when he saw the scene, he stopped and did not approach.
