CHAPTER 1407

Hector felt someone had pushed him as he fell to the ground.

It was Sean. He pushed him out of the way just as the car arrived in front of them.

For a moment, the air was filled with the brakes‘ screech and the collision‘s sound. Hector‘s pupils cons tricted as Sean disappeared from his vision, leaving only a shoe on the ground.

It was only when the screams of the people around them and after the car had escaped that Hector ca me to his senses and looked in a daze at the man who had fallen in a pool of blood.

Maisie and Nolan rushed to the police

Hector clasped his palms together so tightly that veins were bulging on the back of his hands. His chee ks puffed up, and he seemed to be holding something back.

After Nolan learned everything from the police officer, he walked to Hector and asked, “Do you want to avenge him?”

Hector was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Nolan.

Nolan patted Hector‘s shoulder and said meaningfully, “Just do what you think is right. You don‘t need t o worry about the rest.

‘Just do what you think is right. You don‘t need to worry about the rest.!

Hector lifted his head and took a large gulp of beer.

“Hector?”

He was stunned and turned his head around to look at Lucy on the next balcony.

Lucy took her earphones down and smiled. “You can‘t sleep either?”

Hector was stumped for a moment before he pressed his lips tightly and replied,” Yeah.”

“I saw you on the news today.” Lucy looked at him, her eyes glittering with a smile.” I‘m kind of surprised

His pupils trembled, and he raised his head to drink the beer. After falling silent for a while, he said, “But

He couldn‘t prevent Sean‘s death.

Lucy was stunned as she looked at Hector. She did not know why, but she felt that he was feeling down right now. “There‘s a limit to what everyone can do. You‘re doing your best to r in this world that isn‘t as good as we see on the surface.
