Howard Coleman's eyes were dark and deep. When he met Madeleine's gaze, he moved his lips as if to say something, but no words came out. The next second, his vision went black, and he fell.
Madeleine quickly reached out and caught Howard's falling body.
The weight of the man was too much for her to bear, so she slowly knelt to the ground. As she tightly held onto Howard, she saw large amounts of blood flowing from the arm that wrapped around him, staining the ancient and old ground and giving off a nauseating stench.
This was all Howard's blood… Tears pooled in Madeleine's eyes, falling like broken pearls, one following another, hitting the ground with force.
She knew that the man had already fainted, unable to hear her voice. But she still used all her strength to shake his shoulders, screaming desperately, "Why? Why?"
As Madeleine continued to shout, her voice was soon drowned out by her sobs. In the end, she lay on Howard's chest, crying like a lost child.
