Preston quivered in fear and sweated profusely. The five injections represented revenge for five different victims.
Oddly, even when Preston had his arm severed by Landon, or when he was shot three times at the swimming pool, he had never felt closer to death than this moment.
Perhaps Jordan was right. Preston's courage to die seemed to fade away after being given a second shot at life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJordan, with a steely look in his eyes, injected the first poison into Preston's chest. The cold needle pierced through the skin, causing Preston to writhe as though he was being electrocuted. His eyes popped out in agony as he moaned.
"The first injection is for Landon's late father, who is dead because of you. After this shot, your limbs will go numb, and you will experience convulsions." Jordan picked up the second syringe and plunged it into Preston's left rib. "This shot is for Mr. Cornelius. You will feel a sharp pain in your stomach, as well as a headache and nausea." Preston cast a pleading look at Jordan. His tears and snot gushed out humiliatingly. The slow torture hurt more than being shot.
"The third injection is for Mr. Landon. You will start to foam by the mouth and struggle to breathe." Jordan poked the needle into Preston's right rib.

"She lived her whole life in danger and suffering. She did not enjoy a day to herself before leaving the world. How could life be this unfair to her? That was too cruel...
"She would never have the chance to see Mr. Landon married. She had not found the love of her life. How could she leave us? "If I were given a second chance, I would take her place and die. How I wish I could fall into that empty pool in her place. "Preston Harper, go to hell. Repent your sins in front of the devil and be punished forever!"

With a low growl, he drew his last breath and passed away with his eyes open.
