Chapter 82 - Shadows of Chaos (2)

Blood continued to flow from Ethan's body, wetting his torn clothes deep red. The wound on his stomach had not stopped bleeding, and now a new wound on his back, right around his chest, added to the man's suffering.

Claire stood frozen, her body shaking violently.

She didn't know what to do. Her eyes stared at Ethan who was still trying to stand, even though his body looked weakly shaking.

"Ethan ...." Claire's lips moved soundlessly, her throat felt dry, as if refusing to speak.

Her eyes were red, and tears began to flow down her cheeks. Her heart was beating fast, filled with fear and painful despair.

'No! I have to do something!' Claire thought, panicking. However, her body felt heavy, as if locked by the fear that enveloped her.

When Ethan started to lose his balance, his body staggered forward.

Claire came to her senses and moved quickly, her hands reaching out to catch Ethan before he fell to the ground.
