Chapter 1957
"No one's stopping you now. Eat!'
Anthony clenched his hands tightly and took another glance at Charmine. He was more determined than before, and he was close to eating the pills in the bottle.
Charmine, who was held hostage, gradually opened her eyes at that moment. Her gaze drifted toward Eric before she asked, her tone challenging, "Will you really feel good after you've killed them? You saw Susan suffering from a serious wound; would you still kill the one sibling you have left in the world?" ’
Eric halted, and his eyes darkened.
Charmine had just woken up, yet what she said...
He cast a cold glance at Charmine. "It's my business, and it has nothing to do with you!"
They were his family, and he did not want a family like this!
Charmine looked squarely at him. "Eric, I don’t care if you used me or plotted against me all these years; I've treated you like a true friend, nothing more nor less. You were the only person who stayed by my side in the past five years, so I hope that you can forgive them and yourself. Don’t do this out of an urge and regret for the rest of your life!
"Look at Susan! Are you happy with this ending? Will the death of two people truly make you happy?" questioned
Charmine, reaching into his soul calmly.
Eric’s eyes were cold and hard to read, but in his mind echoed Susan's words, 'I've looked for you for over twenty years ever since.'
'Would you still kill the one sibling you have left in the world?'
'Don’t do this out of an urge and regret for the rest of your life!'
Would he...genuinely be happy if they died?
Charmine, noticing Eric's hesitance, continued, "Eric, if Anthony dies, I might just die, too. Even if I don’t die, we'll be enemies forever. Is this what you want our five-year friendship to become? For your mother's mistake, you'd want your world to change forever, from friendships to your career. Is it worth it?"
Eric's burden-filled eyes became even more clouded.
Was it worth it?
For Susan to ruin his life...
Moments later, Eric shut his eyes in pain. He turned around and said to the Baileys, "Go! Leave!"
