Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 913

"Somebody help! Get a doctor! Somebody call a doctor!" Elena screamed, her voice cracking with desperation.

But nobody moved. Without a direct order from Scarlett, the guards remained perfectly still.

If Elena had her strength, if she had her medical kit, she might have been able to pull him back from the brink of death.

But right now, she was entirely powerless, held hostage in a nightmare.

Warm blood coated her hands and stained the pristine white fabric of her wedding dress.

"Don't... don't yell. I know... I know I don't have much time... I just... I just want to say a few things to you."

"Just... just a few words."

Elena never cried, but in that moment, hot tears blurred her vision.

"Stop talking. Save your strength..."

"No. I have to say it. I'm afraid... I won't get another chance."

"Elena... I want you to know. I... I've always loved you."

"I was a playboy my whole life. I know I was a mess, a joke... but with you, my feelings... they were real. They were carved into my soul."

"I only... I only came to the Sinclair estate... just to see you. To be... a little closer to you."

A suffocating wave of despair crashed over Elena. "Stop talking. Please, just stop!"

"If... if I die... will you... will you remember me?"

"My... my name is Max... Max Holt. The one and only."

Elena's hands shook uncontrollably, and her voice trembled as she spoke. "I'll remember. I will always remember you, Max!"

Watching the tragedy unfold, Scarlett merely scoffed. "Do you see this, Evelyn? This man never loved you. He only used you. Even as he lies dying, he doesn't give a damn about you. There isn't a single decent man in this entire world!"

Evelyn finally snapped out of her paralyzed state.

Ignoring her mother's cruel words, she scrambled across the floor and threw herself down next to Max.

"Max, how could you do this to me?" she asked, her eyes red and brimming with tears.

"I'm sorry..." Max whispered, his voice barely a breath.

"Did you really just use me? Did you only get close to me for Elena? Is that true? Did you ever love me, even for a second?"

Later that evening.

"Is my son alright?" Scarlett asked anxiously.

Under the doctor's care, Ethan had finally regained consciousness.

When Scarlett and the others had found Ethan knocked out in the bedroom, she had been absolutely furious.

"Madam Scarlett, he's fine now."

"Oh, Ethan." Scarlett looked at her son, her heart aching with fierce maternal protectiveness.

He was her only son, and she wanted to give him every beautiful thing the world had to offer.

"Mommy, where's my wifey? I want my wifey! I want my wifey!" Ethan tugged at Scarlett's sleeve, whining loudly.

"Alright, alright. Ann, take him to the bridal suite right now. They must spend the night together. Did you teach him everything he needs to know?"

"Yes, Madam. I did," Ann replied. "He knows exactly how to consummate the marriage."

"Good. Go on, then. Today brought entirely too much bad luck. I want this over and done with," Scarlett prayed silently.
