Chapter 653

I shook my head. Sobbing, I said, "Don't say that, you dummy. I have nothing to fear with you by my side." I was sobbing so much that my words were almost incoherent as I continued, "I killed Murphy. It's all over now… We don't have to be in hiding or fear for our lives anymore…" Ethan stared at me with countless emotions churning in his eyes. He caressed my face and gently wiped away my tears. "Evelyn, you did it! I knew you could do it! You're the best!" He pulled me tighter and kissed me on my forehead several times. "Stop crying. I'll have your back, always. I won't let anyone give you a tough time!" I couldn't help but laugh and nod at his words. He was right. With him around, I had nothing to be afraid of. I could overcome any obstacle or challenge as long as he was with me. From this day forward, we would hold hands and not leave each other's side ever again. Just then, Kevin walked over to us and shot me a grateful look. "Evelyn, thank you! Thank you for saving me."
