Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 250

Hannah was shielded by Richard, but I couldn't bring myself to hurt Richard, especially with Hannah taunting from behind him, "No one's going to punish me."

Then, patting Richard on the shoulder, she said, "Richard, you did great, getting the jet ready in advance. Let's head out. Next time, Gotham City, we'll be back."

"I won't let you leave!" Could I really just stand by and watch the person who ended my life in the past life slip away right under my nose? Richard tried to give me a soft, reluctant smile.

"Claire, make sure you eat well."

I shook my head.

"Don't go with her. As long as you haven't taken a life, you'll be alright. No matter how many years you spend in jail, I'll wait for you. Richard, Hannah's mistakes should be her own burden, not yours to carry."

Then, turning to Max, "I've done what I could for you. You promised to let us go."

But as the bullet headed for Hannah, Richard frowned in my direction and quickly stepped in front of her.

Then, as I saw Richard get hit, my hands couldn't hold onto anything anymore.

"Don't..." Along with my cry, Hannah pulled Richard onto the helicopter and then called out to me, "This time, you were the one who killed him. Are you satisfied?"

Holding onto Max's hand, I rushed to say, "Richard said he wouldn't kill me this lifetime. He's my brother, he'll be alright, right?"

Max tightened his grip on my hand.
