“See, you still can't bear to sacrifice yourself.” Elisa sneered again after seeing his lack of response.
Keeping silent, Mr. Carrerra gripped Elisa's throat with one hand and pulled the trigger with another.
He noticed the intense gazes from across the room.
If he lost focus for even a moment, it would be a one-way ticket to death!
“Ms. Benett, I know you're mad, but I truly am at a loss. I can't do what you're asking of me. My sister won't be able to hold on until I find Mystic Orchid, too. I hope you can help. If you can, I'll do whatever you ask!”
Mr. Carrerra was very anxious.
It seems like he doesn't know that I'm Mystic Orchid. He probably only saw me solved problems for Damian twice, and also the Ganoderma Caligo incident. And not to forget Gareth.
“Haven't I already told you my terms? If you're not willing, then we have nothing to discuss,” Elisa responded lightly.
“Ms. Benett, I understand your terms, but... I'm truly at a loss. If you're willing to help, I'm ready to kneel before you and even chop off the arm that I've touched you with!” Mr. Carrerra spoke rapidly.
In moments of urgency, everything came from the heart.
At that moment, the frail and pale face of Mildred resurfaced in her mind.
“You're unwilling to sacrifice yourself, but do you think Uncle Winslow will spare you?” Elisa's heart did not soften even though she was reminded of Mildred.
If I show them mercy, what does my suffering amount to?
“No,” answered Mr. Carrerra with resolute.
It turned out that he went ahead to do it even though he knew. Yet, he still could not bring himself to sacrifice his life for his sister.
