CHAPTER 113

NOLAN KNOCKED ON THE DOOR and was greeted by Claire, it was the first time she saw him seriously, which brought him the terrible feeling that someday that day would come.

— Charles...don't tell me...no...my John don't...

He couldn't say anything at all.

She went up to him and started punching his chest, his agents made a move to act but immediately looked at them reproachfully.

— I'm sorry, Claire.

— I'm so fucking sorry, you big son-of-a-bitch... you took him away from me... you took my John away from me...

— I also lost my best friend, Claire.

— Your friend the fuck, you sent him to certain death.

— We would all die if it weren't for him...

— Why him and not you?— Why, Charles? Because?

— Because he was always the hero while I was always the coward.

She slapped him across the face as tears fell...

— You're a piece of shit, you know that?

She went back to punching his chest while screaming in total despair:

— Shit...a shit...a shit...

Charles hugged her and she finally burst into tears.
