Jonah, unable to control his trembling hand, slapped her hard across the face. The police quickly restrained him.
As Lillian was being taken away, she turned back with a swollen face, smiling bitterly. “Jonah, you’re free now. She’ll never come looking for you again.”
Jonah roared like a beast, clutching his head as if his mind were exploding.
As the bloody memories resurfaced, he felt a searing pain deep in his soul.

In the last moments before he lost consciousness, his mind fleshed her to them holding each other under the night sky. He instinctively reached out, trying to hold on to that embrace, but there was no one left in his arms…
“Sabrina, I was wrong. Don’t leave me.
When Jonah woke up, he saw the frail figure of Molly. Hearing his stir, she geden with a raspy voice, “Sabrina is gone. Are you happy now? she’s gone with the baby has you

Jonah moved like a lifeless body, as if he couldn’t hear what she was saying Without expression, he got out of bed and dialed Sabrina’s number again.
To his surprise, the call connected.
Jonah’s voice trembled with excitement, “Sabrina, where are you? Let me take you okay? I’ll come get you, okay..

Jonah roared like a lion on the verge of breaking, refusing to believe Sabrina was gone.
But Colin remained unmoved.
“Sabrina is dead, Jonah. Are you satisfied now?”
Jonah was overwhelmed with a mixture of shock and anger. Why did everyone keep asking

Colin let out a cold laugh and began to describe the scene from that day in a flat voice.
