Thomas's body immediately slid down the wooden door, and finally leaned on the door with his back, tilting his head and languishing on the ground, gradually losing his vitality.
James looked at Thomas who was killed by himself in anger, and felt extremely confused in his heart.
Thomas killed his father and was killed by him himself. Just before he died, he was told that he was probably his biological father!
James felt like his whole body was about to collapse. He didn't know what he should do.
The panicked James couldn't help but think of his mother, who was the only relative he had left and the only support in his heart. On the verge of mental breakdown, he instinctively wanted to seek shelter from his mother.
However, when he turned around again and looked at his mother with eyes full of panic, helplessness, and expectation, Elizabeth looked at him with a strange look filled with hatred.
"What kind of monster are you?"
Elizabeth said with some gritted teeth.
Although she instinctively pushed away Thomas' gun and saved James, she never expected that Thomas would be killed as a result. If she had known it would be like this, she really wouldn't have made a choice at the time.
In fact, Elizabeth's relationship with James was not very deep originally.
Before James, Elizabeth and John Howlett had a son, but he died unexpectedly shortly after James was born.
Elizabeth had been obsessed with the death of her first son, John Jr., so she had always ignored James and didn't care much about him.
James has been extremely weak since he was a child. He often catches colds and fevers, and often suffers from allergic symptoms.
Elizabeth hardly took care of him. When he was ill, Victor and John Howlett took care of him most of the time.
Therefore, in Elizabeth's mind, James' position is actually not that important.
Elizabeth stopped Thomas from killing him just out of instinct, but if she had to choose between her lover and her son who was not close and had claws like a monster, she would most likely choose the former, otherwise she would not have loved James for so many years.
Don't listen or ask.
As for their feelings for Thomas, in fact, the two have been lovers for so many years. It was not until John Howlett discovered the clues not long ago that he drove Thomas away. Thomas was not willing to be "teared apart", so he
After getting drunk again, he came to Howlett's manor with a shotgun and robbed people.
When Elizabeth heard Thomas banging on the door and calling her name, she didn't turn him away. Instead, she didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she came to open the door for him naked in only her thin pajamas.
.
Of course, she didn't open the door because she wanted to follow him. She didn't want to leave the manor, give up her wealthy life, and follow Thomas to become a poor peasant woman.
She just wanted to appease Thomas and let him leave temporarily so as not to make the matter a big deal. She could continue to have an affair behind John Howlett's back in the future.
But she didn't expect that Thomas would not listen to his words at all, and wanted to take her away. When John Howlett showed up to stop him, he even shot him to death without a word of agreement.
Although she felt a bit of guilt and regret when John Howlett was killed, it was only for a moment, and her feelings for her lover Thomas in her heart were still far greater than those of John Howlett and James.
It has to be said that Thomas and Elizabeth are indeed a pair of lovers. They are both indifferent to their wives and husbands, and they have no feelings for their biological sons.
Elizabeth ignored James, while Thomas beat and abused Victor. When James rushed toward him with his claws, he raised the shotgun without hesitation. If Elizabeth didn't want him to continue killing, she pushed him away.
Open the barrel and the bullet will hit James just like it did when he killed John Howlett!
Now, due to her obstruction, she saved her son who turned into a "monster" from Thomas's gun, but let her "lover" be killed by the "monster" son, which made her heart full of hatred for James.
Facing his mother Elizabeth's hateful eyes and questioning "What kind of monster are you?", James instantly felt that his last bit of spiritual support collapsed, and he completely lost his last refuge in this world, a kind of biting ice.
The cold completely overwhelmed him, and his already extremely fragile spirit collapsed completely!
At this moment, he just wants to escape from here and stay away from everything!
He did indeed do this. James, barefooted and wearing his red pajamas, quickly rushed out of the open door, facing the biting cold wind of the late autumn night, and ran with all his strength into the distance.
Go and quickly disappear into the night.
In a short period of time, James experienced his adoptive father being shot dead by his biological father, two pairs of bone claws growing on his hands, turning into a "monster", and then using them to kill his biological father, and being hated by his mother, among other changes.
This series of events caused young James' fragile spirit to completely collapse. He rushed into the night desperately, running aimlessly in the darkness with all his strength in an unknown direction. His mind went blank.
There is only one sentence that keeps ringing in my mind, get out of here!
James knew his true life experience, and it turned out that he was not the biological son of John Howlett. The manor was naturally not his home, and all his relatives were either killed or hated him. Overnight, he was
The world has become helpless, and the originally warm home has been completely destroyed, and there is no way to go back!
Unable to bear this huge change and blow, James chose to escape. At this moment, he just wanted to stay as far away from this sad place as possible.
Since the manor is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, although the terrain is flat, there are still many dense woods around it.
Running in the night, James soon got into a forest, but he had no intention of stopping. He stepped on the thick fallen leaves and continued running towards the depths of the forest.
But soon, a figure chased up from behind him, hugged him with a flying jump, and threw him to the ground.
James who fell down quickly struggled to get up from the ground, turned around quickly, raised his hands into fists in front of his chest, and shouted in a panic.
"I don't want to kill him! I don't want to!"
The one who knocked him down was Victor who chased him after he escaped.
"You've killed him!"
Victor loudly interrupted James's instinctive excuse. Running with all his strength to catch up with James made him gasp a little. After a pause, Victor looked James straight in the eyes and said seriously.
"He reaped the consequences. You did nothing wrong!"
