Chapter 81 Reckless Passion

• The image of Alex's sneering face, even in death, was etched in his mind, haunting him.
• And Laurie, her skin already turning blue, was also a constant presence in his thoughts. Landon tried to calm his nerves, wondering if this was how it felt like to take someone's life.

It dawned on him that he had become an alcoholic, despite Laurie's pleas for him to quit.
