Chapter 316
Shawn knew very well that he owed her far too much.
It would not be the worst if he could pay her back with his life. At least Gale would remember him for her whole life. He would always have a place in her heart.
Susan said, “Enough! Stop wasting time! Shawn, you take Gale’s place, but you’ll have to cripple yourself first!”
Cripple?!
Gale’s eyes widened.
“Cripple one of your hands or one of your legs. I’d be able to control you that way. Otherwise, wouldn’t you just subdue me in one blow the moment you’re near me?” Susan said.
Shawn nodded without any hesitation. “Okay.”
“No, don’t do it. You can’t do it. Shawn, you can’t! You absolutely can’t!” Gale shouted, heartbroken.
Not only would she have to see him kneeling in front of her, but she would also have to see him cripple himself as well.
After that, she would need to witness him falling into Susan’s hands while she remained completely safe.
“Susan, just kill me. Kill me now! Stop torturing him,
stop torturing me… Just kill me with one strike, and end yourself after that. Let’s just get it done with!” Gale shouted.
She could not stand it anymore.
Every second felt like she was being boiled in oil!
“Haha, what an unfortunate couple. One of you would rather die, while the other one is willing to die for the other. Your love is truly so touching!” Susan mocked.
Gale cried as she shouted, hoping that Shawn would not cripple himself.
She did not know if she loved Shawn, but at that moment, she would rather die than have him cripple himself and hand himself to Susan.
“Please, Shawn, I’m begging you. Stop trying to save me…
“We’re enemies. I hate you. I can’t possibly love you. I’m not worth giving up so much for!”
“You need your hand to sign papers. You can’t cripple your hand…”
Yet, Shawn’s resolve would not be swayed no matter what
Gale said.
He turned around to leave.
He returned very quickly with an expensive Swiss Army Knife in hand.
It was obvious that it was a good knife. Sharp and capable of cutting through steel like butter.
