Chapter 1956
Anthony's breath hitched when he saw Charmine.
He clenched his fists and, without doubting himself, relented "I can agree to your terms, so let her go right away. This has
nothing to do with her; you only hate me after all. As long as you let her go, I'll take the pill. Everything will end right away."
Susan shook her head. "Well die after eating the pill. I’m not taking that!"
She had just reunited with Eric, and she did not want to die yet. She looked at Eric and begged, "Please let Anthony be, why
don't you? He's your brother, after all, and he doesn’t even know about your existence. If you’re really angry, just kill Charmine,
and I'll make it up to you-"
Anthony's expression contorted in sheer fury upon hearing Susan's plea, and he glared at her with murderous intent.
"This was all your fault, so what right do you have to make Charmine take your blame?!"
"What on earth are you going on about?" snapped Grandma Bailey. "Charmine has been kidnapped because of you, yet you
want her dead! How cold-hearted can you get?!"
"I just don't want Anthony to be killed..." Susan failed to see the error in her ways.
Anthony glared at her very coldly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
In the next instance, he looked up at Eric and resolutely responded, "Whatever my mother owed you, I'll pay in full. I can die, but
please let go of Charmine!"
Eric looked at Anthony and said, "Alright, then. As long as you die!"
He then tossed out a small bottle in the air that made a perfect curve, landing right into Anthony's hands.
Anthony held onto the small bottle of pills and then at Charmine, who was still unconscious, with darkened eyes.
He was, to say the very least, conflicted.
It was not easy for him to resolve all problems with Charmine. They had been through much, and it had not been long.
However, he did not regret his decision; he only had regrets. He would not be able to be with her for the rest of her life.
Anthony took a deep breath and looked away. He did not hesitate to open the bottle and put it by his lips. He raised his head,
and just as he was about to eat the pills—
"Don’t!" Susan hastily grabbed his arm to stop him, not wanting him to eat the pills.
She tried to talk Anthony out of his decision urgently, "Just let her die! There are so many women in the world, so why would you
do this for her?" i
"Shut up!" Anthony glared at her, not hesitating to push her away. "She’s my woman, and I should save her! You have no right to
talk me out of my decision!"
Susan, having been shoved away, staggered backward uncontrollably. Since she was also sporting heels at that point, she
tripped and-
Thomp!
She fell against an iron pillar nearby, which happened to have a sharp nail half a thumb long sticking out of it.
"Aaagh!" Susan cried out and froze in pain. Her face went pale, and her eyes widened in fear.
The crowd looked over. Why did she cry out so sharply, when her head just rammed against a pillar?
A moment later, they saw red coming out behind her head.
"Help me...help me!"
Susan's complexion turned paper-white as she became physically feeble. She felt her consciousness fading.
The blood that oozed from the back of her head suddenly intensified like her head was a leaking faucet. The bleeding did not
seem to cease at all, causing blood to pool near Susan. 1
Only then did the Baileys realize the severity of this matter.
Darryl went toward Susan and made the shocking discovery that the nail had been stabbed by the sharp nail. i
"Darryl, help...help me..."
Susan's eyes were zoning out. She feebly pleaded for help when she saw the person in front of her before eventually losing
consciousness.
Darryl caught her right in time and hoisted her into his arms before rushing her away from the scene.
Eric stood by the pier and saw the patch of blood on the ground. His eyes slowly moved back to Susan, who was carried away
by Darryl.
Conflict pooled in his eyes as he gazed at Susan's pale face.
A moment later, he thought of something and smiled ironically. He looked away and said to Anthony...
