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.
