Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 197 The Start of Forever

Kelly’s POV

I sucked my breath as I started panting. I sniffed and swallowed hard, realizing nothing pierce through my skin. I wasn’t shot. Who was shot?

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of one possible reason why there was no bullet that pierce through my skin. Slowly, with racing and aching heart, I turned around, praying that Pierce was safe. Hoping that he’s still unconscious.

My lips parted as I cupped my mouth when I saw what happened behind me. Connor is lifeless while lying on the ground. He has a gunshot wound in between his eyes and...Klay was standing in front of me. I was facing his back and he’s slowly falling to his knees.

“Klay!” I exclaimed and gasped as I caught him. He was heavy so we fell on the ground together.

My lips parted again and trembled when he looked at me and coughed blood. The rain kept on pouring heavily as if comforting me. My eyes watered again as I stared at his face.

“K-Klay...” My heart felt like it was being suffocated while looking at him.

He managed to kill Connor Foster, but he got shot too. On his lower left chest.

I shook my head when his forehead rested on my shoulder and he forced his arm to lift and touch my waist.

“I-I came on time,” he whispered.

“Klay, hold on. We’ll ask for help—”

“Shh!” He whispered. He’s too weak to carry his own weight. He was already leaning on my body.

“Emily...is in the hospital.”

I lifted my trembling hand and gently touched the back of his head. “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

“It’s t-time...” he groaned in pain and coughed blood again. “...for me to...g-go.”

I shook my head angrily. “No! No, Klay! You can’t die like this! You’re still going to pay for your sins. In prison! In prison, Klay!”

“I-I’m sorry...” he whispered. “I d-don’t wanna be in p-prison.”

“Klay...”

“This is what I b-bargained for, K-Kelly. My life for y-yours...” he coughed again. He’s having a hard time and it’s suffocating me even more.

“Don’t say that...” I sobbed.

“I love you...from then...until now,” he sobbed. “I love only you...and I-I didn’t regret anything other than hurting you...”

I swallowed hard. “H-How can you make up for your sins if you’ll leave?”

He lifted his face and looked at me. I felt my heart breaking more when he smiled at me. The smile he showed me when he saved me before. The smile that assured me that I’m safe and he’s here to protect me no matter what.

I bit my bottom lip when he forced his arm to lift again and his bloody fingers gently touched my cheek. I gasped and cried completely when he closed his eyes and his hand fell on my lap.

“Klay! Klay! Wake up, Klay!” I called desperately as I gently tapped his cheeks.

He didn’t move nor open his eyes again. His full weight was on me and I know that he’s gone. He’s gone. I don’t know what to do. I couldn’t calm down. I don’t wanna see dead bodies. I feel like I’m dying whenever I see the dead bodies of the people I once treasured.

“K-Kelly...”
