Chapter 347

see Greta, didn’t you? How did you end up like this? Who did this to you?” Winnie asked with a frown when she saw those wounds.Mason’s face was white as a sheet, and his lips trembled as he replied, “I-It was Harold… Harold was impersonating Greta, so I didn’t get to see her at all. Ms. Garland, please do everything you can to protect Greta. I’m begging you… C-Could you get me my phone? It’s in my pocket…”“Sure!” Winnie said as she reached into his pocket, only to freeze in shock when she pulled his phone out.This is so badly damaged that you can barely call it a phone anymore! Almost all of its components have been broken into pieces!“I took some pictures of the license 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.
