When Everything Has Gone

“Why are you crying? If others knew that Leigh was crying like this, they might laugh at us Night Owl Organization.”

I wanted to comfort Leigh in a joking tone, but she didn’t respond. She put her forehead on the back of my hand and spoke word by word with sobs.

“Marshall, don’t put yourself in danger in the future. I will be scared. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what to do.”

Of course, I knew what Leigh meant by this sentence. When I was seven years old and joined Night Owl Organization, Leigh was five years old.

In that organization that was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, we were each other’s only support.

Even the boss often teased us, saying that we were born to be a pair.

That day, Leigh’s red eyes completely pierced my heart and I naively told myself that I was not in unrequited love and Leigh and I were running toward each other.

The bullet was also made into a necklace by Leigh and she always carried it close to her body.

“This bullet will tell me at every moment that there is someone in this world who will risk his life to protect me.”

But now, she clearly knew the meaning of this bullet, but she still gave it to Bryant.

Leigh, you were such a piece of shit.

Seeing that I didn’t speak for a long time, Bryant’s face became even prouder.

“I know you like Leigh. After all, you look at her with such passionate eyes. Who can’t see your little thoughts? But wake up, a woman like Leigh is not something you can dream of. You don’t know yet? Leigh is the illegitimate daughter of the old man of the Stanley Family. She was sent to your organization after being discovered by Mrs. Stanley. Now the eldest daughter of the Stanley Family has died in an accident. Leigh has become the only blood of the old man of the Stanley Family. In the future, the entire Stanley Family will belong to her.”

Speaking of this, Bryant paused and the expression on his face became a little intriguing.

“But I heard that you are the second young master of the Harris Family who has been living outside for many years. I heard that the Harris Family is almost crazy looking for you and wants you to marry the fool of the Porter Family. Hahaha, it’s ridiculous. Is this the reason why you don’t want to go back to the Harris Family? Yes, facing a woman like Leigh, how could you willingly go back to marry a fool who grew up in the countryside? But guess what, if I call the Harris Family and tell them that you are in my house now, what will happen to you? The fool and you, it seems very suitable…”

I raised my head suddenly, staring at Bryant.

Although Violet and I had never met, I didn’t know why, when I heard Bryant calling her a fool, I felt like a ball of anger in my chest was about to explode.

I couldn’t bear it anymore and punched Bryant fiercely.

Bryant covered his face and was about to curse, but Leigh’s exclamation suddenly exploded in my ears.

“Marshall! What are you doing!”

Hearing this voice, Bryant’s pride turned into grievance.

“Marshall, I just want to ask if you were feeling unwell when you went to the hospital yesterday. How could you hit someone directly? Are you uncomfortable because Leigh and I are together? But feelings cannot be controlled…”

Leigh stared at Marshall’s swollen cheeks gloomily.

“Bryant, you don’t have to explain to him. He is just your bodyguard. To put it bluntly, he is your dog!”

Leigh protected Bryant behind her and turned her head to glare at me.

“I like Bryant. What are you angry about? Come to me!”

I ignored Leigh’s words and stared at her straight.

“I ask you, why is your necklace with him?”

Leigh was stunned and there was a flash of guilt in her eyes.

“It’s just a necklace. Bryant likes it, so I gave it to him. What’s the big deal?”

I wanted to say something, but Bryant’s face changed at this time and he grabbed Leigh’s hand.

“Leigh, my head is so dizzy. You accompany me to the hospital for a check-up.”

Leigh wanted to say something and her lips murmured for a long time and finally she helped Bryant leave.

As soon as they left, my phone rang at this time. It was my grandfather calling.

“Marshall, the car to pick you up will be here soon.”

When I got in the car sent by my grandfather, I looked at the villa getting farther and farther away from me in the rearview mirror. I felt calm in my heart and I couldn’t hear any sound anymore.

Leigh, goodbye.

At the same time, in the hospital, Leigh received a call from the boss of the Night Owl Organization.

“Leigh! What are you doing? Why can’t I get through to Marshall’s phone?”

Leigh began to panic unconsciously, but still resisted the waves of uneasiness.

“Can’t get through? He was fine this morning. Maybe his phone ran out of battery…”

This time, before Leigh finished her words, the boss interrupted her with an angry roar.

“Then tell me, why did Marshall submit an application to leave the team!”
