You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 689: Chapter 689: It Was His Mission

"I..."

Edie opened her mouth. She wanted to say something. But she realized she couldn’t say a word out.

Stuart never told her anything about his work. So she didn’t know anything happening in the group at all.

She didn’t know why Stuart reformed the board of directors. But she believed him. No matter what he did, Edie would always stand on his side.

Besides, she promised him that she would never leave him again...

If she had to die, she wanted to apologize to Stuart for her not being able to stay with him for a longer time.

She took a deep breath and clenched fist tightly, "I don’t know why he did this. But I want to protect him. Could we solve this?"

"Yes," the man put his arm down and showed a weird smile. The smile looked more twitched on a tough man like him.

"How?" Edie asked him excitingly.

"I’ve already told you. You are the only soft spot for him. Your existence would have led him to make mistakes. Do you know what he did to the board of directors this time?"

Seeing the confusion on Edie’s face, he burst into laughter and pointed at her, "Because of you. The Yates haven’t been powerful enough to protect the heir. So the heir might be killed anytime for the group. He never makes any mistakes. So he was still alive now."

"But after meeting with you, he made lots of mistakes. He even threw the whole group in danger, breaking the borderline of the board of directors. Ellison regards the honor of the group as the most important thing, as his own life. He would never allow it to throw it into the danger and existence of any uncertainty factors. So he would destroy Stuart, sooner or later. If he wants to be alive, he should do this, destroy the board of directors in advance. Only in this way can he get rid of their control."

"He did all these just for you."

Hearing the last sentence, Edie was so shocked that she froze there immediately.

Her heart kept trembling. Her face got pale. Then she raised the corner of her mouth and made a bitter smile.

Such an idiot.

Didn’t tell her anything.

So he did all these for her. So if she disappeared, he would stop making those stupid mistakes.

"So, I should die, right? Only in this way can Stuart stop threatening anyone else. The board of directors shouldn’t be weakened, right? Only in this way can the Yates stop threatening the government. Right?"

"Yes. So you must die here, today," Norman said in a vicious voice.

Norman had to kill her. It was his responsibility as a soldier.

It was his mission. He was obliged to protect the whole country.

When hearing Norman’s answer, Edie was not scared at all. On the contrary, she took a relive, "I agree, but could you promise to me not to hurt my daughter. You watch her grow up. She called your uncle. Besides, after I pass away, Stuart would definitely break down again. It is impossible for him to accept my death. With Laty around him, he would hold on. He would be alive to take care of our daughter."

"Okay, I promise. I don’t want him to ruin himself, either," Norman said in an indifferent voice.

Edie finally has nothing to worry about. As long as Stuart and Laty were safe, she could sacrifice herself. It was not a big deal.

She pressed her lips and closed her eyes slowly, "You can kill me now."

Norman raised his eyes, looking at her palm-size pure face.

He saved this woman before. Now he had to kill this woman himself.

It might be so-called fate.

But, he didn’t know why he suddenly hesitated.

He was like Stuart. He couldn’t do anything at will. His family needed him to be like this kind of talent. He had to be this kind of talent.

Why could Stuart break the rule and find the girl he loved for life.

Perhaps...he won. He already won at the very beginning.

Stuart lived like a human being.

But Norman still lived like a robot.

A robot was good at fighting all the time.

Looking at his gun, he remembered something. When his grandpa gave him this gun, he asked him to kill a prisoner. It was also the first time for him to kill someone.

From then on, he never stopped.

Hearing nothing from Norman, Edie opened her eyes. She saw Norman looking at the gun as if he remembered something.

She wanted to ask him. But he talked first.

"Edie, I am going to give you the count to three. If you could escape away before that, I won’t kill you today. I would allow you to live with Stuart."

Edie measured the distance between her and the door with her eyes. It was impossible for her to escape away. These words meant nothing for her more than comfort.

But, even though she wanted to try her best. Otherwise, she would regret it.

Norman started counting, "Begin. One"

Edie rushed to the door. The sunlight poured into the house through the door. But she couldn’t feel any warmth. She felt she was so close to the door. But she thought she might never be able to reach that door. All of a sudden, she felt so cold.

"Two..."

Approaching...

"Three. Sorry."

Norman pressed the trigger, targeting Edie. His eyes were burning, and then he shot at her without any hesitation.

"Bang..."

All of a sudden, Edie felt the world fall into silence. She saw a figure rushing to her, holding her into his arms tightly.

The bullet inserted into his body. She saw blood pouring out from his body.

"Stuart...."

Seeing the man in front of her, Edie’s face turned pale immediately.

Because of the bullet, Stuart almost fell down. He was in pain that he couldn’t help himself leaning against her. His face looked so pale and weak. His forehead was oozing cold sweat.

She held his body, touching his back with her little hands. She felt something. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Blood...

She took her hand back, staring at the blood in her palm. She was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word out.

She cried out involuntarily.

Stuart took her hands into his arm so that she couldn’t see that blood.

"Don’t touch it. Your cloth is clean. Don’t make it dirty."

He sounded so weak. Edie couldn’t help herself bursting into tears. Tears kept pouring down from her eyes.

"Idiot. Why are you so stupid? He wants to shoot me, not you," She finally said.

"I lost you once before. I couldn’t lose you again. It is so painful, Edie. I don’t want to go through again. It is so difficult for me, much more difficult than this."

He has suffered a lot before, enough for him.

He went through by-death for lots of time.

But he still couldn’t stand the pain of losing her again.

Even now, he would feel heart-breaking when reminding those five years when he believed Edie had passed away.

Stuart held her body tightly and made a solemn vow, "Don’t dream of leaving me unless I die."

Edie’s tears poured down. She didn’t know what to say to him. He was such a silly and determined man.

"But...I think I might die later..."

She turned around, protecting Stuart behind, "Shoot me. Don’t hurt him."

"I think these words should be said by the man behind you."

Seeing Edie standing in front of him trying to protect him, he raised the corner of his mouth, showing a helpless smile.

When he felt less pain, he straightened up, letting the blood oozing out on his back.
