The Masked prince
Chapter 147: The Doom (2)

As much as he didn’t like her to cry, he didn’t like it more when she cried for others, especially for that lame.

He suddenly held her chin and smiled coldly as he asked

"You want me to help him?"

Evelyn nodded her head immediately after hearing his question.

Arthur continued to smile but there was nothing comforting in his smile. Looking at Evelyn with obsession-filled eyes, he said

"Then stay here obediently. I will go and help him."

Evelyn didn’t believe him at all. His smile didn’t give her the confidence that his words were supposed to give.

That’s why she tried her best to stop him when he was trying to close the door. However, again Arthur effortlessly pushed her inside the room.

Evelyn cried as she banged the door loudly.

"Arthur...help Oliver... I beg you..."

For once, she wished that Arthur would do what he was saying. She wished that he would call for a doctor to treat Oliver.

Her eyes went to the window. Through that window, she could look out at the yard. Evelyn immediately stood up and ran to the window.

She only saw Oliver in the yard.

Her eyes were filled with anxiousness and panic when she saw that a large amount of blood had gathered around Oliver’s body.

But the panic inside her only increased when she saw Arthur stepping inside the yard...and there was now a knife in his hand.

"Arthur!"

Evelyn shouted and Arthur immediately looked towards the window to look at her. There was no emotion in his eyes before but when he stared at Evelyn, his eyes were slightly soft.

But again when he moved his eyes away from her, they were emotionless. With those same pair of eyes, he moved towards Oliver.

Evelyn held the iron bars of the window in a hard grip as if she wished to break them and go to Oliver.

Her voice was hoarse from crying. Her throat hurt and her eyes were red and swollen.

She continued to scream but nothing could stop Arthur.

She felt her heart coming to her mouth when she saw Arthur raising the knife and then ...she couldn’t see it any longer.

Yet, she heard Oliver’s muffled painful scream.

"Don’t ...please don’t..."

She cried as she covered her face and eyes begging no one in particular. How she wished that those screams didn’t belong to Oliver. How she wished to go there and run away from here with Oliver.

She hit the door of the room still hoping that she would reach Oliver and save him. But nothing helped her.

There was another muffled scream from Oliver from the yard.

Evelyn felt breathless after this. She walked to the window again only to see Arthur standing beside Oliver. The knife was no longer in his hands ...but lay on the floor.

The door of Evelyn’s room opened after a few moments. Evelyn turned around. She didn’t even glance at Arthur who had opened the door and ran to the yard hurriedly.

As soon as she stepped inside the yard, her eyes went blank.

The sand of the yard was covered with blood. This much blood...Evelyn had never seen in her life.

Evelyn stooped near Oliver.

His eyes were now closed. Still, she kneeled beside him and called his name out.

"Oliver..."

She was hoping that he would open his eyes and comfort her again. But he never opened his eyes again.

Regardless of how much she tried, his body didn’t move at all.

"Oliver...please wake up."

Evelyn sobbed. Her shoulders shook as she cried holding Oliver’s hand. She felt scared feeling how cold they were starting to feel so suddenly when the weather was so hot.

"Oliver....I will call a doctor."

Evelyn whispered as she stood up to leave the house. However, when she stood up, Arthur’s cold voice fell in her ears.

"There is no need. He is dead already."

Evelyn didn’t glance at him as she walked towards the door and opened it. However, as soon as she opened it, her body stiffened.

Because outside stood none other than Gianna and Cooper in front of her.

"Evelyn, have you packed Oliver’s bag already?"

Gianna who was unaware of everything asked Evelyn even before stepping inside the house. Her eyes were full of worry. She had been worried whether Evelyn would send everything Oliver needed to go to City. In the end, she was only eight and Gianna was worried that she would miss something.

That’s why she wanted to return as soon as possible.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law’s health got better yesterday and hence this morning, she asked her husband if they could return.

Although Cooper was unwilling, he understood his wife’s worries. He knew that his eldest son’s exam was also very important. So he agreed.

He decided to go back to look after his mother after his son would leave for the city.

Gianna frowned when she saw that Evelyn was not answering at all.

"Evelyn..."

She called out again. In response, Evelyn’s cried and called out in a trembling voice.

"Mother..."

It was only then Gianna and Cooper realized that something was wrong. Cooper’s eyes suddenly went to Evelyn’s feet and he saw that her shoes were covered with blood.

"Are you hurt, Evelyn?"

He asked with a frown on his forehead and Gianna also noticed the blood.

Evelyn didn’t answer. She only held Gianna’s hand and said

"Mother...we need doctor...Oliver..."

As soon as Gianna heard her son’s name, her eyes went wide with panic and she asked

"What happened to Oliver?"

Even Cooper looked worried. However, Evelyn was crying continuously and asking them to call a doctor.

Gianna felt frustrated with her and pushed her away to step inside the house.

However, as soon as she saw the scene inside the yard, her eyes went blank and the bundle of clothes in her hands fell down to the floor.

The next moment, a scream escaped her lips and she fell down to the floor.
