midnight out of control

He, he seemed to be ten years older in an instant, trying to breathe, but felt chest cramps, unable to catch his breath, the place where the gunshot wound on his chest exploded again, and sparks burst out violently, severely searing his heart, making him so hot It was unbearable, he roared angrily, the sound of strong wind passed through his ears, his eyes were filled with darkness, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "You! You are all betrayers!...all...betrayers..."

The princess was the closest to him, and she was the first to notice the abnormality of the king, and she jumped up in surprise: "Father!! What's wrong with you, Father!"

The ceiling was getting higher and higher, and the king fell heavily to the ground, unable to breathe.

Jack watched him fall expressionlessly, and didn't help him.He indifferently ordered the guards: "Send the king to the hospital."

The medical staff came in one after another, carried the king on a stretcher, and hurried away.

No one expected today's farce to end like this. Jack was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. He walked back to the podium and spoke to the microphone with a firm and majestic voice: "After the results of the recording technology appraisal come out, the court will be held again. I believe Curtis is innocent."

ending

It was already early morning, and everything that happened during the day had not subsided. The recording was sent to the technical department for identification, Curtis was detained pending trial, and the king was sent to the hospital. His life and death were uncertain.

The corridor of the hospital was silent, and the white floor was faintly glowing. The king was sent to the ICU after falling down and fainting in the court. No visits were allowed, and no one except the medical staff was allowed to enter.Jack sent more staff to watch over him, and the rescue operation continued for several hours.

The king was unconscious, his body was covered with electrodes, and his breathing under the oxygen mask became weaker and weaker, almost inaudible.The monitor is on standby. The heart has been defibrillated three times, and the effect is extremely unsatisfactory. There is no response to a needle of epinephrine. straight line.

"Drip—————————" the alarm sounded throughout the ICU, and Jack was awakened on the seat outside the door.

The medical staff exhaustedly recorded the time of death, notified the news, and prepared for the funeral.

The princess was woken up in her sleep and hurried to the hospital when she learned of her father's death.Jack was sitting there when she arrived.

The princess ran away crying, saw Jack, and stopped at the door, "What are you doing here?"

Jack buried his head and didn't answer.

Excited by the pain of losing her father, she blamed Jack: "It's all your fault, you killed my father."

"The one who killed him was himself." Jack's eyes were also a little red, and he looked up at her wearily. "If there is a choice, no one wants to do this."

"You did it on purpose! He was mad at you!" The princess didn't believe it at all. She was influenced by the king and had too many prejudices against Jack. "If it wasn't for you, why would father die? If you want to seize the throne, you shouldn't use it." This means—”

"What method did I use?" Jack interrupted her and asked impatiently.

"You and Curtis were in collusion, you killed him!!" The princess pointed to the ICU, tears rolled down her face, she repeated crying, "You killed him! It was you!"

Jack knocked off her hand, pinched her wrist and dragged her out, "It has nothing to do with Curtis, don't shout here."

The princess struggled and writhed, losing all her manners. She pulled the seat back with her other arm and said hoarsely, "Don't make excuses! I know everything about you and Curtis!"

These words were no less than a loud thunder. The matter between Jack and Curtis has always been secret. Jack did not know what happened when Curtis and the princess ran into each other on the day of the engagement banquet. He only thought that the princess saw the hickey on his neck, so the king When threatening Curtis with the matter between him and Curtis, he couldn't figure out how the king knew about it, let alone that it was actually the princess who informed him.

If Curtis hadn't run into the princess at that time, even if the king came back, no one would tell the king about Jack and Curtis, and the king would not use this as an excuse to threaten Curtis, and Curtis would not take the risk and fall To the point where life is hanging by a thread.

Or, if the princess really cared about this younger brother, how could she bring up such a thing when she knew that her father and younger brother were incompatible?

"I'm still thinking, how did he know about me and Curtis." Jack let go of the princess's arm, and the princess staggered back two steps, leaning on the wall to stand firm, and Jack blocked her in the corner with captivating eyes:

"So you told him the secret?"

"Are you afraid that your father will know what you have done?! You are shameless! You are extremely despicable! You deserve to be his son?!" The princess pushed him away and turned to leave.

Jack grabbed her, slammed her against the wall, and roared, "Who do you think you're talking to?!"

"The future king?!" the princess roared, tears streaming down his face, "You killed your father, do you still want to kill me? I am your sister! Kill me!"

"Come here—!!" Jack was anxious, and ordered his followers, "Take her back! Ground!"

The princess was taken away from the hospital by arms left and right. She still did not give up and turned her head and shouted, "I don't have a brother like you!"

Jack patted his sleeves and said coldly, "I'm not your brother either."

A farce ended hastily, and the king's body was transported to the morgue.When Jack returned to the palace, he received a call from his subordinates. The princess had been sent back, and guards were sent at the door to put her under house arrest.

The car drove slowly in the dark, and Jack leaned tiredly on the back seat with heavy eyelids.Once the king died, everything fell on his head. When the news of the death is announced tomorrow, I don't know what they will think.

The king died twice, and he brought the news both times. This time, he was completely dead. Jack thought it was a bit funny, and couldn't help laughing. He giggled twice, but couldn't laugh anymore , covering her cheeks with her palms, tears streaming down her fingers.

"Woo...Father..." He kept whimpering in a low voice, fearing that someone would find out, the crying that was forced into his throat turned into salty saliva, blocking his breathing in his throat.

"... Woo..." He swallowed hard, opened his eyes, his vision was blank, like a lost deer in the forest.

The car stopped slowly, and Jack sat in the car for a while, showing no intention of going down.Curtis was still being detained, waiting for the final trial. Jack pulled himself together and ordered, "Go to the police station."

The car turned around briskly and headed to the police station.

The police station was quiet, and there were only a few people on duty in the middle of the night. The tired little policeman dozed off on the table. Seeing that the prince woke up immediately, he hurriedly shook the colleague next door.The colleague was sleeping unconscious, Jack waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to receive him, and went to the interrogation room alone.

The interrogation room was dark and cold, the lights were not turned on, the narrow windows were not closed, and the cold wind kept blowing in, making creaking noises. There was only a long table and an iron chair in the room, and the chair was firmly welded to the ground. There is a metal baffle in front, which is very strong, and it is to prevent criminals from attacking the police.Curtis just sat on the chair and dozed off, his head drooping, obviously extremely tired, the camera lens glowed red, monitoring coldly in the dark.

Jack was so busy with the king's affairs that he missed an order, and his subordinates were not smart enough, so he even forgot to tell Curtis to change to a better temporary cell. Curtis has been locked here since he was brought down. He was blamed for his incompetence in the matter, so he was not given special treatment, and he was directly locked in the interrogation room, and he was interrogated for several hours in an almost abusive manner, during which no water or rice was eaten.Curtis told the truth, pointing at the king, the police couldn't ask any more questions, so they left him here.

Jack turned on the light, and the light in the interrogation room was dazzlingly bright, which was specially used to illuminate the eyes of the prisoner.Affected by the light, Curtis woke up from a nap.His retinas hadn't adapted to the strong light, and it took him a while to see that it was Jack.

Jack came and sat across from him, and Curtis gradually regained consciousness and sat up straight.

"The king is dead." Jack whispered, and at the same time did not forget to look around. The police were standing at the door of the interrogation room. The door was gently closed and there was still a gap. Jack was afraid of being heard by them.

Curtis nodded. He was there before and clearly saw the king fainted on the ground, but he didn't expect him to die so simply, which was a bit of an unexpected surprise.

"You will be acquitted soon." Jack smiled, showing his beautiful teeth.

"You said that nothing would happen to me, I know." Curtis was completely awake and looked at Jack fascinated. After the king died, things gradually became smoother. Sentenced for several years, with Jack here, it is still unknown whether the sentence will be passed on to him in these few years. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he has regained his life.

"I never thought that you would do so much for me, and you weren't even afraid of dying." Jack looked at him with some guilt, his eyes gleamed with tears, "I used to be so cold to you, I'm so sorry. Regret. I'm afraid I'll kill you."

"Don't be silly, baby." Curtis stroked Jack's face with a broad palm, and gently touched his eye sockets with his thumb, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "You saved my life, and doing this for you is nothing .”

Jack looked at him moved, tears were about to flow, his heart was full and satisfied, he raised his hand, and held the hand that Curtis put on his face.The two looked at each other without saying anything, but already saw countless love in each other's eyes, that love was like thousands of slender ribbons, wrapping them warmly together and blending them into one.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room also seemed to become soft and pink. Curtis took Jack's hand and kissed the back of his hand.
