Chapter 347

plate of Harold’s car, so he smashed my phone to pieces. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to get it back. I would’ve called you if it still worked, but it clearly doesn’t. The memory card should still be intact, so I’m sure the police will be able to recover the data,” Mason explained when he saw Winnie go silent.Winnie nodded. “All right, I know what to do!” “That’s good… Harold is incredibly dangerous. He knows I’m protecting you, and he also knows we’re looking for Greta. He is secretly observing our every move. He wants to kill me to scare you off. This is one of his intimidation tactics, so don’t let it get to your head. Oh, and most importantly, he must’ve had plastic surgery done. His face is still covered in bandages, but the skin around his eyes has fully healed. I don’t know what he currently looks like, so you and Greta need to be extra careful.”“Got it!” Winnie replied while tightening her grip on his hand. She then glanced at Xavier, who was rushing toward them, as she continued, “We’ll be extra careful from now on, so don’t you worry! Xavier is bringing the first aid kit over, so we’ll have Josiah tend to your wounds first!”Mason’s bloodshot eyes were filled with tears. “It’s too late to save me now. It has been an hour since I escaped him and drove all the way here. His methods were brutal and deadly, so it was a miracle that I made it out alive. Honestly, I’m happy that I managed to get this far in life. My only regret is not being able to see Greta one final time before I die…”With trembling hands, Mason tried to retrieve Greta’s photo from his pocket.Josiah helped him get the photo out and continued treating his wounds while Xavier started the car.Mason burst out crying when he saw Greta’s photo.“I’m sorry for dirtying your favorite photo, Greta… I love you… Just like the sun, you light up the darkness around me and fill my heart with warmth. I wish we didn’t have to meet each other in that horrible place. If there is a next life, I would like to be by your side again. Well, if you want me around, that is. Please pass this message on to Greta, Ms. Garland. Tell her that I want her to be happy. You see, I know that she and I are from different worlds. She’s an optimistic and kind-hearted girl. I, on the other hand, have been killing people from a very young age. Things never end well for men like me, but that’s not the case for Greta. I’m sure she’ll be able to live a great life filled with positivity. Is she a police officer or a soldier? I tried to kill Harold today, so I’m really worried that he’ll go after her for revenge. Will she be safe?”“Yes, Mason. She’s very safe here in Chanaea. She—” Winnie tried to reassure him, only to realize that his eyes were slowly losing focus.She closed her eyes and looked away as the final signs of life faded from his body.Josiah, too, stopped trying to save him when he saw that.He already knew that Mason was dying when he examined his wounds earlier. Most of Mason’s internal organs were ruptured and showed signs of severe hemorrhaging, so there was no way to save him at all.With a heavy heart, Josiah glanced at his watch and announced Mason’s official time of death.As Mason’s eyes were open when he died, Josiah tried to close them for him, but to no avail.Winnie glanced at Mason’s fingers, which were still gripping Greta’s photo tightly, and continued where she left off, “She’s a police officer that stands for justice. She’ll be very safe here, and she’ll live a wonderful life, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. I’ll be sure to relay your message to her.”It was possibly just a coincidence, but a tear happened to flow out of Mason’s eye after she said that.When Winnie tried to
