Right then, Howard’s azure blue eyes resembled the dawn sky outside the window.
He gazed at Ashlyn with a melancholic expression on his face. “Can forgive me…”
Ashlyn hurriedly stood up. At once, she was greeted by the sight of crimson blood gushing out of his
back at the position of the heart.
The blood stained his clothes red. His face grew increasingly paler, and his breathing increasingly
weaker.
Silvermoon sneered, “Death is a fitting end for you, Howard, you traitor. But… what a pity, Ashlyn! I
only fire one shot a day. It’s your gain today.”
After saying that, he spun on his heel and left.
Ashlyn stared at Howard, who was dying in her arms. She didn’t have any time to bother about
Silvermoon, who was leaving.
She felt for her phone to call Luigi and the others over, but she didn’t find her phone in her pocket.
D*mn it! Where’s my phone?
Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to carry Howard on her back and laboriously plodded out.
“Hang in there, Howard! I’m going to get you out of here right now! I don’t like to owe anyone anything.
I don’t even want to owe someone a favor, let alone a life, so hang in there!”
“You… are still willing to save me?” Howard murmured weakly, blood spilling out of his mouth once
more.
His tall body was draped over Ashlyn’s skinny back. His mind felt exceedingly sluggish, and he was
both sleepy and tired.
It was as though he had returned to the day when he first met her.
She stood at the entrance of the orphanage; her cool voice threaded with a hint of warmth that gave off
a sense of amicability. “I’ve taken over this orphanage. All the kids here will be going to my training
camp henceforth. I want to establish a hotel and make it the biggest establishment in Lake City! I want
every child to have food and a job, becoming useful individuals to society.”
The orphanage was on the brink of closure due to a lack of funds. Consequently, the children were also
at risk of homelessness.

It was her… Everything was because of her. Imperial Hotel existed because of her, and all of us stayed
here. Later… Later, she took over several more orphanages that couldn’t continue operating. She
painstakingly nurtured all the children, and they all obtained new lives… because of her. Meanwhile, I
was a pawn placed in the orphanage by ZZ Organization. I’m tired, so very exhausted…
All these years, he watched as everyone around him grew up, all responding to Ashlyn’s hopes for
them.
They all served patrons and contributed to society. Furthermore, many of them became outstanding
figures in various industries.
Perhaps they weren’t as strong and talented as Ashlyn, but they weren’t too bad either.
Howard recalled how he obtained Ashlyn’s blessings when he obtained the highest award in the
culinary industry.
Also, his mind went back to everyone’s excitement when Imperial Hotel was set as the benchmark for
the hotel industry in Lake City.
Then, flashbacks of Ashlyn gifting all the employees a thoughtful birthday present on their birthdays
came to him.
He recalled everyone’s happiness when Ashlyn kept them company during each festival.
Memories began playing back in his mind.
There were too many to be counted.
By then, he could barely breathe. “I… I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize for having saved me. Just hang in there, d*mn it!” Ashlyn dragged herself
out with Howard on her back. Every so often, the man’s rapid and heavy breathing sounded beside her
ear.
It’s near. We’re getting out soon…
As she kept trudging forward, she prayed for Luigi and the others to appear.
Finally, she reached the entrance to the safety passage. As soon as she lifted her eyes, she spotted
Lucas striding toward her in black.
Delight showed on her face. “Quick, Lucas!”
No sooner had her voice rang out than she perceptively sensed the breathing by her ear ceasing
abruptly. Howard’s hand that had been clutching at her collar also dropped weakly.
In a flash, the smile on her face froze.
It stilled right there.
A long while later, a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
In the end, it fell to the blackened ground.
Lucas eyed Howard, who had his eyes closed on Ashlyn’s back, no longer breathing.
Ashlyn felt a weight lifted off her back as Lucas took Howard away from her. In the next heartbeat, the
man’s low voice drifted into her ears. “He’s no longer breathing.”
