Betrayed by Blood, I Escort Them to Hell のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

At some point, Cody had arrived. He pushed through the crowd and suddenly called out, "Dad, don't do that. No matter what, Hector is still your son."Everyone's attention instantly shifted, and my parents rushed over to him at once.Holding his hand, Mom said affectionately, "Didn't we tell you that you didn't need to come over?""Your mom's right," Dad hurriedly chimed in. "Work keeps you busy, so there's no need for you to make the trip. It'll only bring back painful memories for you." Even Serena pressed close to Cody and stood between him and me, as if afraid I might do something to him.My eyes stung. There had been a time in my life when I'd received such tender care as well.When I was 18, before my parents adopted Cody, Dad's enemies had abducted me to take revenge on him. He single-handedly fought those criminals and even fell from the fifth floor in the process.Having sustained multiple compound fractures from the fall, he had to spend an entire year in the hospital.

The stinging pain that shot up from my limbs seemed to gnaw away at my brain.That phone number had first appeared on my bed after the 20th time my legs had been broken.

They bound my limbs with rope.It was Dad's bodyguards.They dragged me back to the basement of the house and threw me onto the cold, rough floor. As my injuries slammed against the floor, a piercing pain shot through me."Mr. Hector, your father has said Mr. C

Serena glanced at Cody, who lay on the floor with his eyes tightly shut. After a moment of hesitation, she left him behind and followed my parents out.Two cars sped toward the Larson residence.

"Didn't you promise me nothing would happen to Hector?"She went completely insane, rushing at Serena and grabbing her by the neck. "You said you sent people to stay with him! Where are they? Answer me! Where are the bodyguards you arranged, huh?"Her hands trembled as she looked at the horrific pool of blood once more.Being in a chokehold turned Serena's face red. It took a lot of effort for her to squeeze out the words, "I… I don't know…"Dad was also staring at that pool of blood, his body swaying. He nearly fell flat on the floor."It's all over…" he mumbled.
