Chapter 1380:
The shot struck the left side of his chest.
Blood burst out in a violent spray.
“Thud!”
He started to fall, his head striking a sharp edge on the way down. More blood pooled beneath his chest and behind his head.
Millie could only stare—frozen, breathless, unable to process the horror unfolding in front of her.
“Myron!” she cried, dropping to her knees and reaching for him, but his eyes remained closed and unmoving.
Blood soaked the place where the bullet had struck, instantly staining the left side of his white suit a deep, terrifying red.
Security rushed in, helping Millie lift Myron and move him behind cover.
Her gaze darted wildly through the chaos until she found Ari nearby, trembling in Helga’s arms.
“Ah!”
“There’s been a shooting!”
“Someone has a gun!”
Screams tore through the hall as panic exploded. People scattered in every direction, getting in the way of the security team.
Cradling Myron’s head, Millie sobbed, “Ronnie! Wake up… please. Are you alright?” Her hands shook so badly she could barely hold him.
“Call an ambulance! Hurry!”
Blood stained everything—her wedding gown, her headpiece, even her jewelry. She pressed her fingers down over the wound, trying to stop the bleeding, but it kept seeping through.
“Ronnie… don’t do this to me…” Tears streamed down her face, and it felt like every word was swallowed by the chaos around them.
“We just had our wedding… we just said our vows… please…”

Her tears fell like shattered pearls, but no matter how many times she called his name, the man in her arms didn’t move. He lay silent, as if life had already slipped away.
No…
Her mind snapped back to the day her father had jumped from a building. Even after all these years, the memory was vivid—relentless, replaying itself again and again.
Why had he pushed her aside? Why had he thrown himself in front of a bullet meant for her? Why were the people she loved always the ones who suffered because of her?
She would rather have been the one hit.
“Catch him!”
“Don’t let him get away!”
“He’s armed—stay alert!”
Guests scattered in every direction, tripping over one another in blind panic as security tried to seize the assailant.
“Bang!”
Something detonated without warning, releasing a thick cloud of smoke that swallowed the entire scene.
