Chapter 1053


    In the hall, only the coldness of the departing guests remained.


    Drinks and pastries have not even had time to clean up, full of wreckage.


    ine did not see anyone downstairs and immediately ran to the second floor. She stared at the half-


    open study door, as if in a trance, she saw a bloodstain spreading out, and she felt her mind go nk,


    leaving only the sound of her own violently restless gasps.


    ine walked past as if on herst consciousness, and with each step she took, she became more


    fearful.


    Just as she was about to enter the study, her wrist was gripped.


    ine turned her head, her eyes unfocused, looked at him nkly, opened her mouth, and only after a


    long time did she make a sound: "Is my dad ...... in there?"


    Darnell took her shoulders in both hands and spoke in a calm tone, "You get out of here first."


    ine shook her head and mumbled, "I''m going to go find my dad ......"


    As she spoke, she recklessly pushed Darnell out of the way and stumbled into the study.


    The floor of the study, full of blood, and her father, fell in a pool of blood, with a quiet face, as if he was


    asleep.


    And in his hand, he was still holding the doll she had given him the night before.


    ine was deeply stung by the scene in front of her eyes, she hurriedly ran over and sat on her knees


    next to Franklin, crying and pushing his arm: "Daddy, you get up, don''t scare me, okay, I promise, I''ll be


    good from now on and never make you angry again, this time it''s really, really... ...I have promised you


    to leave Riverside City, I can also ...... nevere back in the future, I listen to you, you beg you to get


    up quickly ......"


    To one side, Archer looked at ine and then at Darnell, probably not expecting her to return suddenly.


    Darnell stood in the doorway, his thin lips pursed.


    ine was sobbing uncontrobly and her words were broken, but no matter what, her father would


    never wake up again.

    At this time, rence also arrived, he looked at this scene inside, his dark eyes narrowed.


    Darnell spoke up, "I thought I told you to take her straight away."


    rence withdrew his eyes: "She was crying and moring to get off, so what could I do."


    Archer see these two people actually chatted on the sky, look like there is no intention to manage, can


    only take up the big responsibility themselves, walked over to pull ine up: "Okay, people can not


    come back to life, you confess here is useless, and your father can not hear."


    ine was crying up and down, and was made even more ufortable and painful by his words.


    She hated herself for not listening to her father, for always singing against him with his affection, for not


    knowing anything at all.


    Although she knew that it was all her fault, Archer had to use such a rxed tone, not knowing whether


    he wasforting her or mocking her.


    It is as if human sorrow and joy are not inherently connected.


    Without a word, ine pushed him away and knelt beside her father, and did not speak, just wept


    silently.


    Archer was at his wits'' end, about to cast a pleading nce at the two men at the door, when Darnell


    had already lifted his leg and walked over, crouching on one knee in front of ine: "ine, let''s get


    out of here, okay?"


    ine''s eyes were full of tears, "But you promised me that my dad would be okay ......"


    Darnell whispered, "I''m sorry."


    ine shook her head gently, she wasn''t looking for an apology from him, and she knew the situation


    was never hers to control, she just wanted her dad toe back alive.


    Archer did not expect Darnell also can not help, then can only make the killer: "your father''s body, can


    not be put so, have to send to the funeral home. If you really have that filial piety, give him two more


    columns of incense and burn more paper money in the future."


    ine couldn''t stand it: "Your mouth, how can you say such icy words!"


    Archer: "......"


    He was just telling the truth, why is it cold?


    Archer was about to speak again when Darnell swept a look over, he immediately shut up and took two


    steps back to say no more.


    Darnell forcibly pulled ine up and carried her in his arms as he headed out the door.


    ine had probably never resisted his approach so much except when she didn''t want to marry him,


    and she struggled hard: "I''m not going anywhere, I''m staying with my dad!"


    Darnell said, "Didn''t you just swear that you''d listen to your dad from now on and promise him you''d


    leave Riverside City."


    "Provided my dad can wake up ......"


    Darnell coldened his voice: "ine, you should know what your father wants most, do you think that


    you crying here now would be what he would like to see?"


    ine was instantly silent, but the tears couldn''t stop flowing down.


    Darnell lifted his hand and wiped the tears from her face, "Okay, listen, get out of here first, and I''ll pick


    you up when all this is taken care of here."


    ine turned her head and looked at her dad with reluctance for onest time.


    She murmured, "Did my dad know this was going to be the day, and that''s why he tried to arrange for


    me to leave early ......"


    Darnell didn''t answer, just said, "Let''s go."


    ine turned around and went downstairs, each step extremely slow, tears falling down one after


    another, unable to finish wiping them away.


    After re-sitting in the car, she leaned quietly against the window and looked out with ax gaze, without


    a glow.


    rence sat next to her and spoke slowly, "Why are you not crying?"


    ine said, "Don''t you think I''m too noisy."


    "Depends on the situation."


    ine didn''t say anything, just kept wiping her tears.


    rence didn''t say anything else, and ndly ordered, "Drive."


    ......


    The nended at City N at 2:00 am.


    ine looks at the city she used to love, but now she can''t get the slightest bit of interest.


    Why would she ever be so stupid as to desperately try to leave Riverside City?


    It was her home, the ce where she grew up.


    There was her great grandfather, and her father.


    And now there is no going back ......


    When they arrived at Star Lake Mansion, Ste had not slept and was waiting for them.


    Seeing inee in with red eyes, she went up and asked, "ine, how ......"


    Before Ste could say anything, ine hugged her tightly and cried as hard as she could.


    Ste sighed and patted her back, silentlyforting her.


    rence stood by and spoke slowly, "Keep your voice down, don''t wake the baby up."


    Although ine was in pain and sad, she reduced her voice in the end.


    When she was tired of crying, Ste sent her to her room: "ine, don''t think about anything else, get a


    good night''s sleep."


    ine hugged the nket and nodded sullenly.


    Ste patted her on the shoulder, then turned off the light and exited the room.


    ine rolled over and quietly looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky and it was clearly


    supposed to be a nice day.
