Chapter 99

Emma’s POV

Still in Brian’s arms, I watched as my father and his father struggled for the gun.

I didn’t want to leave as he said to Brian to take me away and call the police. I wanted to stay and help, but before I could do anything, I heard the gunshot.

I stared at the two men wondering who got hit by the bullet, and I was hoping that it wouldn’t be my father, but I was shocked when my father fell down.

“Daddy!!!” I yelled as I ran to him.

I held him in my arms and watched him struggle to breathe.

On seeing what he did, Brian’s father took off without looking back.

“Emma, my child,” he muttered softly, and I held his bloody hands.

“Daddy!” I cried as I gave his hand a light squeeze.

He held my hand too and gave me a light smile.

“Hold on, Mr. Chadwick, help is on the way,” Brian assured him as he knelt beside us on the floor.

“I don’t think I will make it before help gets here,” he said as he coughed out blood.
