My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 425

Hendrix guided me to a chair while people started crowding around Irvin as his blood slowly spread into a puddle.

I looked at him, and he opened his mouth to speak wordlessly to me. I didn't know what he was saying. I only felt that my heart felt like it was being crushed to the point of no breathing.

Hendrix walked up to him, reached out his hand to check his breathing, and looked at me solemnly.

I got up and tried my best to push myself towards him. Irvin reached out his hand to grab hold of me. The second he opened his mouth, jet-black blood gushed out.

I shook my head and tears blurred my vision. "Don't talk, Irvin. You'll be fine. The doctor will be here soon."

He forced a smile, his face a little pale. "Arianna, once all of this is over, in my next life, I'll meet you and I'll make you... fall in love with me first."

I didn't know what to say nor what to feel, and my head was buzzing. I choked and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so selfish. I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't..."

I shouldn't have ignored the fact that he lost his parents at the same time, and I shouldn't have ignored his feelings. I even distanced myself from him and dismissed how he felt. I even overlooked the only thing he had in life that still kept him going. I was wrong.

He forced a smile, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "It's all right. I know you're in a tough position. Take care of....yourself!"

Watching his eyes slowly closing I couldn't remember how many times that I had experienced someone's death. Time and time again, I watched the people who loved me and the people I loved leave me, one after another.

She was so terrified that she took a few steps back. Her face was deathly pale as she stared at me in disbelief. "Arianna, what did you say?"

"D*mn it, it should've been you! Why are you still alive? You're the one who hurt Helen, and you're the one who used Yohannes and Helen to kill Irvin. Right from the start, you've always been the murderer. So, you're the one who should be blamed the most."

"Arianna, what are you talking about?" Nerissa widened her eyes and looked at me incredulously. She spat out the words, "You're insane!"

I looked at her sarcastically, finally seeing her as the unbelievably ridiculous woman that she was. "You personally took the lives of three members of the Granger family. Aren't you afraid of karma? You were the one who pushed them over the edge!"
