Thomas's body then slid down the wooden gate, and finally leaned against the gate, tilting his head to the ground, gradually losing his life.

James looked at Thomas, who had been killed by his own hands in anger, and felt chaos in his heart.

Thomas killed his father, and he killed him with his own hands, only to be told that he was probably his real father just before he died!

James felt like he was going to collapse, and he didn't know what he should do.

A panicked James couldn't help but think of his mother, the only family he had left, and the only one in his heart, and he instinctively wanted to seek refuge from his mother when he was on the verge of mental collapse.

But when he turned again and looked at his mother with a look of panic, helplessness, and expectation, Elizabeth looked at him with a strange gaze of hatred.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Elizabeth said through some gritted teeth.

Although she instinctively pushed Thomas's gun away and saved James, she didn't expect to kill Thomas because of this, she knew it would be like this, and she really didn't have to choose what to do at that time.

In fact, Elizabeth's original relationship with James was not too deep.

Before James, Elizabeth and John Howlett had a son, but they died unexpectedly shortly after James was born.

Elizabeth has been obsessed with the death of her first son, John Jr., so she has also neglected James and does not care much about him.

James has been unusually weak since he was a child, with colds and fevers at every turn, and often allergic symptoms.

Elizabeth barely took care of him, and when he was sick, it was Victor and John Howlett who took care of him most of the time.

So, in Elizabeth's mind, James' position is actually not that important.

Elizabeth's refusal to stop Thomas from killing him was only instinctive, but if she had to choose between a lover and a son who was not close and grew claws like a monster, she would most likely choose the former, otherwise she wouldn't have been so indifferent to James for so many years.

As for the feelings for Thomas, in fact, the two have maintained a lover relationship for so many years, until John Howlett discovered the clue not long ago, and Thomas was not willing to be "separated", so he would come to Howlett's manor with a shotgun and rob people directly.

And Elizabeth did not turn him away when she heard Thomas slamming the door and calling her name outside the door, but did not even have time to change his clothes, and came to open the door for him directly naked, wearing only thin pajamas.

Of course, she didn't want to open the door to go with him, she didn't want to leave the manor, give up her rich life, and follow Thomas to become a poor peasant woman.

She just wanted to appease Thomas and let him leave temporarily, not to make a big fuss, and to continue cheating on John Howlett behind his back in the future.

It's just that she didn't expect that Thomas couldn't listen to him at all, and offered to take her away, and when John Howlett appeared to stop him, he shot him to death without saying a word.

Although she felt a trace of guilt and regret when John Howlett was killed, it was only for a moment, and her deep feelings for her lover Thomas were still far above those of John Howlett and James.

I have to say that Thomas and Elizabeth are really a pair of lovers, they are affectionate to their wives and husbands, and they have no feelings for their biological sons.

Elizabeth ignored James, Thomas beat and abused Victor, and when James rushed towards him with his claws outstretched, he did not hesitate to raise his shotgun, if Elizabeth didn't want him to continue to kill, and pushed the barrel away, the bullet would have hit James, just like he had done when he killed John Howlett before!

Now, due to her obstruction, she has saved her son who has become a "monster" from Thomas's gun, but her "lover" has been killed by her "monster" son, which makes her heart full of hatred for James.

Facing the hateful gaze of his mother Elizabeth and the question of "what kind of monster are you", James instantly felt that his last bit of spiritual support had collapsed, completely losing his last shelter in this world, a biting cold completely submerged him, and his already fragile spirit completely collapsed!

At this moment, he just wanted to get out of here, away from all this!

And he did, and James rushed out of the open gate barefoot, dressed in his red pajamas, and ran away with all his might in the distance against the cold wind of the late autumn night, and quickly disappeared into the night.

James experienced that his adoptive father was shot by his biological father in a short period of time, and he grew two pairs of bone claws on his hands and became a "monster", and then used them to kill his biological father with his own hands, and was hated by his mother.

This series of events completely broke the young James's fragile spirit, and he rushed into the night desperately, running aimlessly in an unknown direction in the dark, his mind was blank, only one sentence kept ringing in his mind, get out of here!

James knew his true background, it turned out that he was not John Howlett's biological son, that manor was naturally not his home, and all his relatives were either killed or hated him, overnight, he had become helpless in this world, and that originally warm home was completely destroyed, and he could never go back!

Unable to bear this huge change and blow, James chose to escape, and at the moment he just wanted to get as far away from this sad place as possible.

Since the estate is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, although the terrain is flat, there are still many dense woods around.

Running in the night, James soon got into a wood, but he didn't stop at all, stepping on the thick fallen leaves and continuing to run wildly into the woods.

Soon, however, a figure chased after him, and a flutter grabbed him and threw him to the ground.

James, who fell, hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground, quickly turned around, raised his hands in fists in front of his chest, and shouted loudly in a panic.

"I don't want to kill him! I don't want to! ”

And it was Victor, who chased him after him after he fled.

"You've killed him!"

Victor interrupted James' instinctive defense in a loud voice, and running with all his might to catch up with James made him gasp a little, paused, and after taking a breath, Victor looked directly into James' eyes and said with great seriousness.

"He's self-defeating, you're not doing anything wrong!"
